Title: I b0rked it, game won't start up Post by: novastar on 2009 February 27, 08:31:18 I wandered over from PMBD over here for halpz.
Well, what happens is when I click on the shortcut for The Sims Seasons on the Desktop, I get the splash screen, but no game window. Body Shop, I get nothing. This happened after some error about Body Shop complaining that TS2 was still open and all, so I closed TS2, tried to open up Body Shop. Zilch. Since this happens to me with Nero StartSmart sometimes, I figured it may just need a reboot to start working again. No go. Gave it another reboot. Nothing. Could it be something with my arr'd Seasons? Because I think it did this before and I had to uninstall and reinstall, which ain't a pretty option here at the moment since I've got some of my friend's expansions on here (Uni/OFB/stuff pack) from her expansion collection thingo and my d/l rate is absolute rubbish at times. It's definitely not a downloads problem, took them all out and same problem. Google gives me no answers on this other than reinstall...

Perhaps a troubleshooting sticky with "first step: delete groups.cache" in it will prevent excessive ignorance like mine happening again. Cat me if you wish :D Title: Re: I b0rked it, game won't start up Post by: Zazazu on 2009 February 28, 23:49:00 Oddly enough, there is. It's called a "FAQ".
Title: Re: I b0rked it, game won't start up Post by: novastar on 2009 March 01, 06:56:16 Ah. Went everywhere and didn't see it, sorry, must have gone over it. My apologies.
