Impending BFBVFS? or Bad Pooter.... baaaaaaad

Thanks for the info ZephyrZodiac....

I got a chance to look at some of the sims in Simpe last night and i don't think the playables are corrupted to badly... the couples with the want to go steady are elderly anyway and won't last much longer so i'm not worried about their memories and they look OK in Simpe anyways...  I'll let the townies and playables just regain the friendships... they have enough points so it would just be a matter of talking to that sim again to be friends/best friends again...

It was just a wierd error... All of their skills and aspirations are intact.... only some of their memories were effected and the loss of the cellphone... but i think like you said, it was a computer issue not a game or hack issue and that's what i really wanted to find out.... what caused the problem?

Thanks again everybody   ;D

ZephyrZodiac:
Well, if it's a one-off, then I think it must have been a bad save, but if you get the problem after you play again, then it means checking your hacks, I think.  And if it isn't a hack - all your downloads!!

I think it was a one-off ting...

I've played a few times since i first noticed the problem and it hasn't got worse....

stoooooopid pooter.....   >:(

ZephyrZodiac:
Well, I'd be grateful for small mercies - if it was a bad download, it would have been a long and tedious job sorting it!

I did wonder if it was caused by something like Windows Update or your AV update just happening to be in the middle of doing its stuff when you closed your game.  I'd rather turn the things off, but then I keep getting Security Center messages every darn time I start my computer up, so now I just let them do their thing, but it can be very annoying when I'm playing and suddenly my mouse gets the jitters and then I get the pop-up and the voice saying "Avast has been updated"!  And I always wonder what would happen if I was just closing my game when it does that.

I disable my internet and antivirus when playing any game. Unless you use the EA Link, there's no need to be connected to the internet or to have your AV enabled. In fact, the instructions in the brochures that come with CD and DVD versions of the games specifically state that leaving your AV running whilst installing or playing can potentially be a VBT.
