RC Car?
« on: 2005 August 27, 12:10:06 » |

Mr. Pescado, at the risk of having my lips ripped off and being made fun of, I have a question.
I've read in various forums where some people say that the RC car can cause the objects.package file to become corrupt. While I myself have never had that happen in my game I was wondering what your opinion on this is?

My objects.package file became corrupt once, but I don't know what caused it. I think I also read that it could be the remote-control car, but I've seen other explanations as well. All I know is that I hadn't backed-up in a fortnight so lost two whole weeks worth of work.

From me to you.

I've also had that problem. Stupid sorority girls brought it home and I accidently saved while one of them was playing it. This then caused the blank icon bug. I hate that care now.

Do you even need one of these when you don't actually post?

In other words it's similar to the cellphone bug in that a sim has to be playing with it when you exit the lot for it to cause problems.

I've had it happen to me 3 times. The 1st time it happened was only a few days after Uni came out, and so no one knew what caused it or how to fix it and I did a complete reinstall. (being emotionally attatched to my Simmies, like they're my pets, I'm still not over it. LOL)
The second time, I was playing a Frat house and some idiot wandered off and brought one back. Next thing I know. . . blank icons, sims keep wanting to "move". I studied up and found out about the corupted object.package.file. I now keep a clean copy of that on my desktop for RC Cars emergencies!

Good idea! Maybe they should keep a copy at TheSims2.com just so anyone who hasn't got a clean copy can download one!

They wouldn't do that because that would be admitting a problem! Everyone has it on their Uni CD1, which you need to play anyway. Unless you have broadband, it would take forever to download 35 MB. I assume you were being facetious, ZZ.  |

I was hoping that most people on this forum were smarter than that. At least the ones that come in properly and pay the $29.95 subscription fee instead of breaking in the back door. |

For whatever it was worth, my rc car "didn't have aspirations" when my game developed the blank icon bug. My hubby fixed the bug by doing whatever kmlough's thread suggested. I stopped using the car after that. Within a week I had so many game stopping bugs, I finally decided to use third party "fixes". I wonder if the blank icon bug signals when a neighborhood reaches critical mass.

I got it, and simply moved my Sims2 folder onto my desktop and reinstalled Uni, then put the folder back. No probs since............yet.........apart from the evil repoman and that's nothing new!

I got the "Buy One Month For The Price Of Two, Get One Free!" special. Too bad I missed the "Buy One Month For The Price Of Three, Get Two Free!" special. I would have loved to have got two free months. |

Yes, but we must keep JM in the style he has become accustomed to; namely, a deep shelter, tins of baked beans and plenty of Black Label Single Malt

Plus plenty of freezer space for all those lips he's ripped. I guess that's where he keeps them? Otherwise they are going to start to stink.  |

Well, as I said before in another thread, he'd better watch out in case the FBI wonder what he keeps in the freezer! I'm sure serial lip-ripping is against the law!
