I had weird issues with trying to create a new custom neighborhood (kept crashing after it created the pets) so I deleted my EA Games folder to get a new one, figuring I'd just play Pleasantview for awhile. Except I don't have a Pleasantview. I have all the other ones but the game didn't create a PV. How to get it back?

1.5 gig... I know I probably need more but I'm not all that concerned about the crashing... it's annoying but I can live with it. I'm just concerned about the extra character files being created every time it crashes.

nope... I've created 2 YA sims, in CAS, but that's it.

After I installed my fresh copy of PV, I did install a house from a packaged file but it was my own house and had no sims (wasn't even a finished house).

Long long time lurker... I don't talk much.

I have a problem that I can't figure out. My game crashes all the time after a while of play (sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes an hour... etc.). The error message that pops up says nothing but "This Application Has Crashed. Closing." or something.

I noticed the other day that I seemed to have more character files after it crashed so I kept an eye on it and yea, it's creating extra character files every time it crashes. And it shouldn't be, I mean... there's no new characters introduced or anything.

And then I noticed some weirdness in the file names (it may be normal, I don't know).. for example, my last two files in the character folder - N001_User00588.1.package & N001_User00588.package
Why are there 2 of them?

I don't mind re-starting the neighborhood, it's a fresh copy of Pleasantview anyway.. I just want to stop it from creating all the extra character files when the game crashes. (although stopping it from crashing would be nice too )

I'm playing with CC makeup only, BV hacks from this site, Inge's teleporter shrug, and SimWardrobes vegetable and fish packing stations and that's it.
