Title: Halp - I broke Sunset Valley... but not Riverview or Twinbrook
Post by: redwards on 2010 June 23, 18:21:04
Apologies if this is a known issue. I'll attempt to duck all rotten vegetables thrown in my direction and hide my face in shame if it is.

I recently went through Anach's combine-packages-to-speed-up-your-game process. I dutifully unwrapped all of my sims3pack files into separate package files, sorted them according some scheme that made a modicum of sense, and combined them into new packages. I could kiss Anach, the game runs so much better it's unbelievable.

...but it only runs if I'm playing Riverview or Twinbrook. I get a CTD if I try to load a Sunset Valley saved game or start a new Sunset Valley game (dasmx86dlll garbage). Unfortunately, my primary game is in Sunset Valley.

I've already tried blowing out the Sunset Valley objectCache. I can see where the game has attempted to make new Sunset Valley cache files in the worldcaches directory instead of the directory where the Sunset Valley cache originally is. But the new caches are really tiny, presumably because Sunset Valley won't actually load.

Running WA+AMB+AM (AM still seems to work fine).

Any ideas?

Did you combine the world files too, because you shouldn't?  If you did, you should start over and possibly re-install.

I didn't combine the actual .world files, no.

You did give me an idea, though. It may be worth noting that a game I saved in China won't load either.
