Title: Can't delete custom content Post by: sara_dippity on 2008 March 31, 18:19:38 I searched, I swear. I'm positive I can't be the only person with this problem, but my schedule doesn't allow much time to keep up with the bugs (I live so dangerously now, playing Free Time with NO idea what's going on...)
Anywhoo, I can't delete custom content. Like, "I don't like this chair, I never used it, BEGONE!" doesn't happen. So the first time this happens I think "Hmm, the downloads folder must be read-only." Sure enough, it was. So I switch it back, watch it apply to all subfolders and files. Play again, and again "BEGONE CHAIR!!" does not happen. So I look, the folder reverted to read only. So I change the EA parent folder to writable, and IT reverts! Rebooting, telling it to be read only and then trying to change to writable, voodoo, sacrifices to the pagan gods, nothing works. Cure me, please! Title: Re: Can't delete custom content Post by: kuronue on 2008 March 31, 19:46:36 just to rule out stupid stuff: you did quit the game before making it writable, right?
Title: Re: Can't delete custom content Post by: sara_dippity on 2008 March 31, 20:05:20 Sure did. Even rebooted.

You just have to delete directly from your download folder before firing up your game. Clean Installer can scan your folders to help you find and delete stuff.

Title: Re: Can't delete custom content Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2008 April 01, 00:03:13 I'm sure Sara_Dippity must know where it is, since she has tried to make it writable - you can hardly do that to a folder you can't find!

I'm sure she know,but seems it's a Fools Day today.By the way Bush decided to visit Kiev exactly in that day(today),oh poor Ukraine...or maybe USA. ;D Title: Re: Can't delete custom content Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2008 April 02, 04:36:53 http://www.infoplease.com/spot/aprilfools1.html (http://www.infoplease.com/spot/aprilfools1.html)
Thought this might interest you, Alexx. Title: Re: Can't delete custom content Post by: sara_dippity on 2008 April 04, 13:28:12 Sorry for the late reply, only have internet on campus. However, the issue has seemed to resolve itself, in an odd way. Somehow, I think by changing the folder properties I can now delete items in the game using the interface (at least last night I could, tonight, who knows?) but I still can't delete directly from my downloads folder (thanky ZZ, for noticing that I have the ability to find it...)
Hey, you know what would be funny? Make a totally bogus page about the orgin of April Fool's day and then post it. |
