Game Not Loading

[Larxene]

Well I upgraded to the new SimPE, it said it had to "reset" a file and now neither Body Shop nor my game will load. They both crash close to the end, for my game it's right after the "reticulating splines" message. Any ideas? I tried deleting the usual suspects - groups.cache and them. No luck. It's not regenerating them either. I've got a fully loaded game, all expansions, all stuff packs.

And it's doing this VANILLA with NO downloads or hacks as well.

I saw another post last night that said a similar thing. Veilchen, was it? Thanks for the headsup, I'm not going to download the new SimPE until I hear it's working OK for others.

I hope you didn't lose anything important and it causes you no more trouble than the annoyance of a reinstall.

witch, I haven't had any problems with the new SimPE, but I did follow the instructions and do a clean install.  I believe you only get the "reset" message if you don't uninstall the old version first.

Larxene, my condolences.  Like witch, I hope you didn't lose anything important.

Aww bloody Hell...

Is it safe to save the neighborhoods and port them over at least?

[J. M. Pescado]

Most likely. Have you tried removing your neighborhoods and THEN loading the game? If that doesn't help, it's definitely a problem with your computer or install, and not the neighborhoods, which should be fine.

Yeah just attempted that. Hoods aren't the issue, neither are D/Ls so I won't lose anything from a reinstall except time. Something must have gotten reset/rewritten in the basic game files

I did a clean install and got the message, but refused to give permission.  My game runs fine but not sure if SimPE does as I didn't have time to explore.
