Game crashes when sims change appearance.

<< < (2/2)

Bluebottle:
I did, actually, exact same story as Atom_Bunny. I did backup all my games folders before doing so, and restored the backups after un-installing, but it obviously didn't do any good.

NothingToSee:
Numenor found the problem. I'll copy/paste the text here:

   1. Open the folder where you have installed your game: I mean the PROGRAM folder, not the Documents!

   2. Browse to: EA Games\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Catalog\Skins

   3. If you see a small file named Skins.package, with size 1Kb only, delete it.

   4. RENAME the file Skins.disabledpackage to Skins.package.
      (If you DON'T see the .disabledpackage file or the Skins.package is NOT only 1Kb, then this solution is NOT for you: don't delete anything!)


That's all. All the crashes in the CAS, or changing appearance, or entering the lots should immediately stop; the unexpected hair colour or skin tones over your sims should also revert to normal.

NOTE: if you HAVE SAVED a lot while the sims were showing unexpected hair or skin colour, I'm not 100% sure that the hair or the skin in that lot will automatically revert to the right tones.

Of course I'd already gone down the road of uninstall/reinstall before he came up with this, but it may be of help to someone who still has the problem.
