More Awesome Than You!

Well I upgraded to the new SimPE, it said it had to "reset" a file and now neither Body Shop nor my game will load. They both crash close to the end, for my game it's right after the "reticulating splines" message. Any ideas? I tried deleting the usual suspects - groups.cache and them. No luck. It's not regenerating them either. I've got a fully loaded game, all expansions, all stuff packs.

And it's doing this VANILLA with NO downloads or hacks as well.

I saw another post last night that said a similar thing. Veilchen, was it? Thanks for the headsup, I'm not going to download the new SimPE until I hear it's working OK for others.

I hope you didn't lose anything important and it causes you no more trouble than the annoyance of a reinstall.

witch, I haven't had any problems with the new SimPE, but I did follow the instructions and do a clean install.  I believe you only get the "reset" message if you don't uninstall the old version first.

Larxene, my condolences.  Like witch, I hope you didn't lose anything important.

Aww bloody Hell...

Is it safe to save the neighborhoods and port them over at least?

Most likely. Have you tried removing your neighborhoods and THEN loading the game? If that doesn't help, it's definitely a problem with your computer or install, and not the neighborhoods, which should be fine.

Yeah just attempted that. Hoods aren't the issue, neither are D/Ls so I won't lose anything from a reinstall except time. Something must have gotten reset/rewritten in the basic game files

I did a clean install and got the message, but refused to give permission.  My game runs fine but not sure if SimPE does as I didn't have time to explore.
