Title: Game hates me. Can't uninstall.
Post by: Lana B on 2008 December 14, 18:53:18
I have had crashing problems for some time now. I usually get crash to desktop just as a baby is being born, but this is not always the case and the game lasts for different periods based on nothing I can work out.
Being sick of this I decided to try the standard EAxis un/re-install process, but can't.
I cannot uninstall my game. I tried the menu links, the application in the game folder, and the Add/Remove programs. Short of deleting and hand cleaning the registry, I don't know what to do. (Is it necessary to clean the registry if I'm going to reinstall?)

Does anyone have any suggestions?

99.9% of the time, birth-related crashes have nothing to do with your game installation. It is almost always an incompatible download, which could be a skintone, hack, etc. Did you absolutely rule out that possibility?

Mannequin skins seem to be the most likely culprits.

Lana if that's the case, if you check the link in my sig and go to the genetics section you'll find the "mannequin" skin available for download in full with all age groups. I have it listed as "vampire".

Well, hand deleting the folders in Program Files and deleting the keys in the registry would be your next step.

This sounds like standard Sims2 play.   ;)

Thank-you for your suggestions and apologies for the delay.
I managed to fubar the whole thing and had to delete the game files and re-install. So far I am testing in Bloatville. The only skins I hve are Amber's female nude overlays, so I do not think it will have been that.
As I mentioned, the birth crashes were seemingly random, and it turns out they were. I use TJ's triplets and quads and often choose the random option. As far as I can tell, it crashed when trying to create more than 2 babies. I did have the latest version, but so far so good without it. I may run over to Simbology if I really want it back.
