Title: More unnamed wantable objects than you can shake a stick at. Post by: Faylen on 2009 November 10, 16:24:38 This is driving me absolutely nuts. I've read through here and other less awesome places to see if I can track down what is causing this. I tried removing all my hacks (which were few, indeed) and still get these stupid blank wants. I've removed downloaded lots and houses. Still there. Installed all the patches. Still there. Searched my entire damn computer to see if somehow uni_ltw_sns had sneaked in somehow (suggestion that appeared in a couple of threads here) and no, it's not there. I've been deleting downloaded objects that affect wants - I've even tried deleting my entire downloads folder and firing up the game, and it's still a problem. Deleted my groups and accessories cache and the cigen package. Still there. Clearly, evil forces are at work here. Any suggestions on what to try next?

What number is given? It is possible that this is an EAxian issue caused by an odd combination of expansions.

Post by: Faylen on 2009 November 10, 16:44:27 Google University did not come up with anything for downloading uni_ltw_sns, only discussions about it, my darling Pescado, or I would indeed have done so - is there another string of text I should be looking for?
And if this problem is being caused by not having Seasons, or Mansion and Garden Stuff, or Teen Style Stuff, or Glamor Life, it will piss me off big-time. Bad enough I had to plunk down the bucks for K&B, IKEA, and H&M just so I could get new objects, clothes, and hair. Those bastiges!

Post by: Faylen on 2009 November 10, 16:56:59 Ah, so somehow the search function is screwy, because I did search for exactly that and got only posts, and links within posts to other posts. I'll hop right over there, thanks much.
Title: Re: More unnamed wantable objects than you can shake a stick at. Post by: Jelenedra on 2009 November 10, 17:17:20 Search function only searches for forum posts and threads. The hack is inside a directory hosted off the forum software, that's why.
Title: Re: More unnamed wantable objects than you can shake a stick at. Post by: Faylen on 2009 November 10, 23:30:44 Makes sense, but a general Google search came up with nothing, either. HOWEVER...dl'd and installed. Still got the stooooopid unnamed objects. Said many bad words. Removed all Downloads, deleted caches. Looked at poor, ugly, Maxis-only game and decided to add harmless content back in, and what do you know. . .
I had downloaded careers. The careers do not set off a flag at the beginning of the game when it asks you about enabling or disabling custom content, even though - of course - careers are going to impact wantable objects. Until I started poring over my downloads, I didn't even realize that I had them. I suspected lots and hacks and even some objects, but there you have it. |
