This whole discussion prompted me to check my own folders and found several .bak files of users.  Is that normal, is that ok?

I wonder if anyone knows... Why do some packages have two or more .package extensions on the end of their file name?  Is this a problem?  should I change their names to have only one?  Or should I ignore them?

All I can say is thank God I didn't buy this EP.  I was waiting to see how fucked up it was and now I am glad I didn't do it!  I'm stopping at BV and EA be damned!

I think its a problem with hacks.  I have many home businesses and don't get that problem.  Occaisionaly one of the kids gets a "hire someone" want but it goes away pretty quickly.  But i never get that many.  i think you should remove the hacks and try again...  Hope that helps a little.

for what it's worth, I haven't installed FT yet.  After reading through all the fuckups, I'm never installing it.  It sounds like the benefits are far out-weighed by the problems.   I have everything up to BV, and have had so many problems since bv that I can't go through it again. 

gee, sounds just like RL, the feds got it... probably for back taxes.
I have a hack, mikes transfer vase or something like that, and I think you can transfer all the old boy's things with it to a younger sim before he croaks.  Might head off the problem in the future.  The name of the file is Mike_1102_TransferInventoryVase.package - I think I got it at MTS2.  (Not 100% sure)  Good luck

I have the same problem.... it started with one family, they kept crashing at the same action everytime I loaded the lot.  Each time the lot loaded fine then when I sent the male to do an action, it crashed.."application has crashed will now terminate" I tried the same family and the same action several times and always the same thing.  I checked the error logs and found that it was an access violation.  Got tired of it and tried moving them to a different lot and was able to play them fine for hours...  great, problem solved... NOPE.  It started happening with a different family.  Today, if I get time, I'm taking all custom content out and trying the family again.  I think its a corrupt file too.  Will keep you updated.  Good luck and let me know if you find the bad file too.

Just to let you know, i have installed it and it seems fine so far.  my graphics card is acting up so i have not had much play time...  will let you know if any thing is buggy.  so far so good though.  thanks for all your hard work..
