Title: Secret society refuses to load Post by: Penta on 2008 December 30, 21:48:14 Okay...Currently, I have all EPs and SPs, patched with every patch I could find.
I also have the AL director's cut from here. Yummy. Now here's the thing. My Sim gets abducted to the SS lot. Handcuffed, the limo, etc etc. whole bit. However, when it hits the loading screen after driving off in the limo...it never leaves the loading screen unless I do ctrl-alt-del. Weirdly, when I did this with a previous sim, it loaded fine. No change in what's been installed between the two sims. I'd create an error log, but the very randomness of when or if a sim gets abducted seems to me to prevent that. I know, I just -know- there's a patch from FFS on this issue, but though I've searched, I can't find it...and am unsure the patch works with AL in any case. Help?

Could it have anything to do with custom content, I'm wondering? Just for giggles, take the sim that gets stuck and take off all the cc, if any. Who knows, stranger things have made the game work right... Title: Re: Secret society refuses to load Post by: J. M.

Title: Re: Secret society refuses to load Post by: Penta on 2008 December 31, 18:45:27 I try to, but ctrl-shift-C produces nothing.
I should note that when I open the game again, my sim...Gets out of the limo, as if returning from the SS lot.

You might have some software in your PC that overrides that keystroke shortcut. I'm sure this issue already was discussed here, and solved. Title: Re: Secret society refuses to load Post by: J. M.

Turn debug mode on in startup if you can't do it in game. MTS2 has a "how to" in the help section. Look there for this kind of basic stuff.

Given that all cases of such interferences have been due to spyware, often PREINSTALLED spyware, the correct thing to do is to format and reinstall a clean OS without any embedded spyware."Honey, the dog shat on the rug..."
