Help needed! In buy mode, whenever I click on the misc menu under decorations, the game crashes to desktop. The other menus work fine. It's not CC-related; I tried with the entire DL folder moved to the desktop. I've also tried deleting groups.cache, but that's where my expertise ends. :/
This is probably the same issue as I had a while back with one of the towel hangers ("The Towel on a Wooden Hanger by DecorCorp" - came with OFB), where the game would similarly crash with no error messages, whenever I tried to clone one of these hangers. At the time I only noticed it in one household, but I tried it with another family just now and it's definitely not just gone away magically on its own like I'd hoped. Sims can view the hanger and I can recolour it, but the eyedropper tool causes a crash. I "solved" this problem before by, heh, deleting the towel hanger in the household where I first noticed the problem - which also caused a crash unless I quickly saved and exited the household - but I haven't been furnishing any houses since then and forgot all about it. Until today.
Can it really be about the one towel hanger or is there a problem with all the items in the misc menu? I don't think I've ever had a problem with the game that didn't trace back to custom content and this is kinda scary.
I have all the expansions until Seasons, which I installed in September, plus one or two stuff packs. The crashing definitely started after Seasons, but everything's been just fine otherwise. I haven't installed any new hacks, and anyway as removing the DL folder made no difference, I don't think it's that either. I'm assuming the crash log I need to attach is the one called "Sims2Exception[date]"? Tell me if you need something else instead ... I have plenty ...
Any help at all would be really welcome. I have no idea what's wrong or how to fix it.
