(Sims2) The Goths have crashed!

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

For some reason, I can't load up the Goth family any more. I've only
played them twice and now when I try to load them up, it starts
loading, then the 'load' music skips and I get a message telling me
that 'The Sims 2 has crashed. The application will now terminate."

Any idea what's wrong and/or how to fix short of a complete reinstall
and losing all the effort I've gone to on my other families?

I downloaded some hair and clothing from TSR yesterday - haven't
actually used any of them though! In fact I'm not even sure that I've
installed them in the right folder now that I think of it (going to
check that tonight when I get home from work).

All the other families seem ok - just the Goths won't load. And I was
about to move Cassandra and Don out to prepare for the birth of their
kid :-(

It could be a corrupt lot. You might try moving them out and into a
different one.

I think if you re-install over your current game, your familes, houses, etc.
will still be there. Although they MIGHT lose relationships. I don't
remember.

Downloaded anything from 3rd party sites, particularly houses? They
come chock full of hacks that can cause troubles sometimes.
