I've found that although you check the enable custom content box the first time after installing a new EP, the game doesn't actually think the it's been checked until next time you load. If it's not checked, load the game and check the box then immediately exit from the neighbourhood screen and run the game again (the enable cc box should now be set).
The popup that tells you to enable CC does also tell you to restart the game for it to work...
You learn something new every day. :o This was something I figured out the hard way rather than the by reading what was in front of me. It's shitty coding anyway... if you change a checkbox it should take effect straight away especially as the game has just spent the previous X minutes loading the damned stuff.

It's the very last sentence, after the description of the difference between enabling and disabling content. It does read as just an offhand remark though, like they forgot to add it and put it in at the last minute.

Okay, so yesterday I took out all my CC except for JM's hacks and tried to play again. Playing Pleasantview, all went well (except for all the butt-ugly Maxis crap my poor sims reverted into :-\), no crashing, no errors. That is until I tried to enter the Pleasant's lot, loading screen for forever, game crash. Tried again, again and again. Gave up, moved the Pleasants into the family bin and tried to enter to the lot in build mode. No dice, game crashes again. Moved the Pleasants into a different vacant (and never used) lot, no problem with loading that lot and playing it, which leads me to believe the problem is obviously with the lot and not the sims.
Moving onto the Calliente's house, same exact thing. Lot crashes the game upon loading. Same with the Dreamer household. These are all the original lots that the sims come with in the base game. No custom lots at all.
While I am looking through the lot catalog I start noticing that I have 2, 3, sometimes more then 4 duplicates of the same Eaxis lots. This includes the occupied lots that came with Pets, I actually had 3 of each one of those.
I'm kind of baffled on why I would have so many duplicates of premade lots and some of the lots would be crashing the game w/out any CC being in the game but others (Goth, Lothario) don't.
Once again, any ideas?

Khaki, I'll ignore the condescending tone of your post...
What about my post was condescending? I certainly didn't mean to sound condescending, but I will admit to not paying enough attention to the XFX bit. Either way, by mentioning it, you didn't ignore it, now did you? :( ;)

I found it condescending because apparently you didn't read my post very closely (which you admit) and were working off of your own assumptions, which seemed to be that I am an idiot. I did mention the tone but ignored it by way of giving a civil answer instead of just telling you to fuck off. I will also admit (this thread seems to be turning into a confessional :D) that I was in an extremely foul mood when I read your post and more then likely took it much more personally then I should have. :-[
