I've tried fucking everything to fix my game and nothing works. Removed custom content? Check. Tried replacing the meta files in the Saves folder? Check. Deleted the cache? Check.
This is the second time I've remade this neighborhood from scratch (I delete most of the buildings including all houses with EA Sims families in them). I prefer neighborhoods that have been actually made completely by me.The few exceptions are job buildings. Some of them, anyways. This makes it the second time I've lost this content. I do not want to have to go and redesign the same neighborhood for the third time!
Luckily I have a few of my custom made buildings saved in the community lot bin . . . The new neighborhood was even saved using "save as" as suggested to avoid file corruption. Nope. Nope. Nope. The files just simply will not load! The loading screen comes up, the green bar gets to around 15 - 20% and then the music stops and the game will just sit there like that for as long as I let it.
I even tried checking to see if it was the neighborhood itself that was causing these problems. I created a new save game of the same neighborhood, derpderp.sims3, except with all EA content (it's the Monte Vista special download one). Loaded up a random family, saved it, quit, started the game up again and it loaded just peachy. What the fuck?
I just spent 6 hours playing today. I love my witch character. She just mastered the alchemy skill and learned so many new delightful recipes. Why, why, why--why is it that every time I make advancements with this particular sim family in this neighborhood that I won't be able to load my game later? I play my sims. I save using "save as". I quit for a bit. Come back later. Game refuses to load, as described above. What is wrong here? NOTHING! Nothing has changed!
I posted this in Complaints and not tech support because I fucking give up. I don't think there's any way to fix this.
Ugh. I hate it when that happens! That happened with my alchemy station, but I fixed it by deleting the object and buying my sims a new one right after loading the save file.
I get particularly pissed because of the issues with custom content. For that reason alone is why I like The Sims 2 so much. Its kind of like a good middle ground for me.
Anyway, I did what `bohobella said. I deleted all the files in my Documents after uninstalling the game, re-installed it and now I don't have any issues.
But no. I just can't have that, can I?
