Title: Those old blank want slots... Post by: sudaki on 2006 January 29, 16:17:37 I know I've seen this problem addressed any number of places, but I never had it until now, and now I can't find an answer. I hope I'm not nominating myself for a good slapping, but if so... I can take it!
A recent Uni graduate has developed blank want slots. They appeared suddenly the last time I loaded her lot. Out of six slots, all but the one locked one are blank. I read a few places that fulfilling the remaining wants may restore the blanks, but this has not happened. This slot is the only slot that rolls... and it KEEPS ROLLING THE SAME THING. WooHoo in bed. Over and over. Her boyfriend is about to drop dead from exhaustion. I also read that this could be caused by a corrupt .package, but I set all mine to read only some time ago. I tried removing any recent downloads just in case, but no luck. I haven't downloaded any new hacks either, and I double-checked for conflicts anyway... nothing. Agh! My primary fear (in no danger of turning up blank) is that this spells an impending neighborhood apocalypse. It's been a while since the last unexplained BFBVFS, and everything was going so well... figures. Maybe if I kill her off I can halt the spread of contagion? :P Title: Re: Those old blank want slots... Post by: simmiecal on 2006 January 29, 16:25:10 Since setting your objects package to read only, have you installed NL or the holiday package? I believe the installation process changes it from read only. Have you compared the file size of the objects package to the one on the install disk to be SURE that a corruption of this file isn't the cause?
Title: Re: Those old blank want slots... Post by: sudaki on 2006 January 29, 17:08:16 I don't have NL or the Holiday Pack, nope. I checked my objects.package against the one on the install disk, and they are both 29.6MB. Darn. Thanks, though.

Title: Re: Those old blank want slots... Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 January 29, 17:50:29 The nymphomania is probably exacerbating the problem. I find the condition usually clears up after a sim talks to a few other sims, and thus starts obsessing over those people instead.
