After checking everything, I have come to the conclusion that I have a corrupted object file. I checked the file and it says the archive is empty. I run the game from a crack, so I put my dvd in and checked the object file on the dvd. Same result - says the archive is empty. Can anyone help me with that?

Also, I now have the joy of having a sim disappear when I log out. One family is fine, the other - a single - vanishes when I log out. All lot improvements, purchases, etc. stay. Any ideas for this glitch?

I just reinstalled TS2 on my computer that I ran the game on previously. I have all ep's and most of the stuff packs (exception being Holiday and Celebration packs), no CC added at this time. I patched the games as I installed. The game runs fine - except that the apt. doors are not showing in game. I used "boolprop aptsublotspecifictoolsdisabled false" to turn on building tools. I selected the door - the green placement footprint is showing, complete with directional arrows. I can place it - I hear it "click" into place and am charged the proper simoleans. However, the door simply doesn't show. I have a blank wall. This is on all apt lots., mine and Maxis. The sims (playable and NPC) walk up to the blank wall where the door is supposed to be and have immediate whiney-obstructed-path-hissy-fits. Those already inside apt. cannot get out and those outside cannot get in. Help! I've spent the last four days searching solutions, uninstalling, reinstalling, patching, and tweaking. FTR, I installed all EP's and several stuff packs from original disks. The remaining stuff packs I installed using Collection packs. I did not install the sims 2 store or regular games from the Collection disks. Also, I tried this in several combinations, using the EP's from the collection pack, with and without the sims 2 store program installed. No luck - borked to the beyond.
