Title: Not fixed, but moot: Gentrific fireplace is (was) crashing my game Post by: zombiekim on 2008 January 08, 20:12:34 Since I've installed Bon Voyage, I've been unable to move the fireplaces in one of my homes. When I click on it with the grab or sledgehammer tools, the game freezes--I can still move my cursor, and the music continues playing for another few minutes, but nothing happens and I eventually have to close it with task manager. It's the gentrific fireplace, and it's the only item that I've had a problem with. I know it's not a problem with my downloads folder. I tried this in debug mode, but I didn't get any error messages, though I'm ashamed to say I've forgotten most of what I used to know about error logs.
I haven't been able to find anyone else who seems to have had this problem. Ideas? I'm not exactly technologically braindead, but I'm no whizkid either. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is driving me batshit. Title: Re: Gentrific fireplace is crashing my game? Post by: witch on 2008 January 08, 20:37:59 Corrupt downloaded fireplace? Does this still happen when you have no downloads in game?
Title: Re: Gentrific fireplace is crashing my game? Post by: zombiekim on 2008 January 10, 04:10:03 Yes. I tested it without my downloads folder, and the problem still occurs. It also seems to be happening only in one house, so maybe I just need to rebuild...garrr. I think it might have to do with the fact that Bon Voyage fireplaces don't go all the way to the ground (if they're built, say, against a first floor and there's a foundation below). But I seem to be the only person with this problem, so, I guess it can't be that...?
Title: Re: Gentrific fireplace is crashing my game? Post by: Invisigoth on 2008 January 11, 02:12:23 This reminds me of a problem that my boyfriend had with his game. He was playing Nightlife, and then he decided to install OFB. He started having the game crash to desktop when he moved certain items using build mode OR the inventory. This happened with a clean downloads folder (and of course I'd already set his objects.package files to read only, so it wasn't a corruption issue). We decided that his computer just couldn't handle OFB, so we just uninstalled it and let him play nightlife. If he wants to play with all EPs he can always just use my machine anyway. I know that's probably not very helpful, but I searched high and low for an answer to this problem and I couldn't find it.
