Post by: ililas on 2007 October 01, 15:25:28

Please help me...

Its nightmare for me. When I go on vacation, I simply cannot buy massage or learn the Polka, but the worse nightmare I have and I'm really tired about this, is that fu*** error message....

I really don't know what is causing this and I really would like to fix this.

I really would like to know what cause these error message and how I can make them disapear.

My configuration is (http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/8057/sanstitre1ev9.th.png) (http://img76.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sanstitre1ev9.png)

I have Simpe but never really use it anymore. I never make anything in Simpe over my neighborhood or something.

I also have all of these hack in my game... maybe it could help..

Probably that dance skill bug. Shift click on the stereo and set them to high dance skill.

You also may want to pick an Insim. You should only have one version installed, not all three. Having more than one version installed makes things go wonky for no apparent reason.

Same problem with perfect gardens/perfect plants. One or the other, not both.

I though the three was necessary, thanks to told me about it.

Same explanation... I though the two was different. I will make one out of my game right away.

Thank you very much for your help ;D

Most Hack/fix/cc things come with a readme or instructions. One should ALWAYS RTFM before install. I recommend that you never put something in your game without being quite clear about what it does, what it plays nicely with, and where you should place it.

edit: RTFM means Read The Fucking Manual
edit2: Excuse my attack of niceness. I think I'm better now.

Also, it's polite to always do a binary search before posting about a bug to make sure it isn't a hack doing it...and pinpoint the hack.

1. Take out all hacks- does the bug occur? Yes? Programming glitch.
2. Take half of hacks out. Play, see if it occurs. Keep putting half in until you find the group that causes the error, then take each one out until it doesn't happen. This can be confusing. I recommend screenshotting your hacks subfolder (as you did) and crossing stuff off as it's eliminated.
3. Go to the creator's site and the thread for the hack. Make sure you have the latest version. If not, update. If so, post about it.

RTFM!

I think I detect a certain 'English not the first language'-ness about the OP. Perhaps there was some difficulty in understanding the various instructions in the RTFM files - I know I had to read the Insim instructions 2-3 times before I understood what was going on (maybe it was a slow brain day) and I've spoken English since I was 4. I'm not surprised that a non-native English speaker might think to install all 3 versions of Insim (apart perhaps from the line that says "do not install more than one version").

Still, I read reasonable German and French, but might have missed that if the RTFM file was in one of those languages.

You're right, I have some little dificulties with my english, I apolozige :-[

Sometimes, I have to read more then four time to be sure to really understand clearly. But all hack is in english and all the help I can find is in english. I really do not want to attack somebody but the official french website for Sims 2 are so bad. Each time you ask for help, the answer doesn't come or erase or simply ignore by tell us not to go on Pirate site ::)

BUT, the help and the bug fix come allways from pirate site at first OR a place like here. That's why I came here and not in a french one :-\

What i will do, is play with an other sims and put one per one all the hack I have in my game to test them.

'pas de problem. L'avis de Zazazu est tres bon, si vous le comprennez. Le problem est probablement un conflit entre des differents hacks. Apres avoir eliminer des duplicats hacks (comme Insim: utilisez seulement une version - moi je utilise le SIM version), faire un test.

Si le problem continue, assurez vous que les hacks sont les versions plus courant - pour BV il y'a beaucoup de changements dans le period present.

Si le problem continue, eliminez les hacks et les remplacez comme groupes (5 hacks par fois, par example) et faisez un test encore. (Probablement un processus un peu plus vite que un test pour chaque hack).

SVP excusez mon mauvais francais et le manque des accents.

Thanks, that would have taken me a good month to rewrite in French, and I most likely would have called someone a fuzzy pumpkin in the process.

Interesting. I actually can not say "fuzzy pumpkin" in French.

Potiron flou.

Try Paladin's tools also (simwardrobe).

Sims 2 Hack Conflict Detection (S2HCD). Red-highlights after scanning a folder = hack objects; pink-highlights = duplicate GUID / object (remove one).

Might help with hacks / objects that don't conform to game code, might not; I haven't downloaded stuff I don't have EPs/SPs for yet.

Paladin's SimCategorizer USED TO, during Sims 1, tell you what EP a particular object (or the original object it was cloned from) originated.

Your soo sweet dear :D :D thank you so much for your so beautiful french.

Actually, I found the hack who gave me a wonderful migraine >:(

Its a hack who gave us the chance to put up to 30 Sims in the same lot.

I took it off.

And I would like to tell that I always read the rtmf when available in a hack... that's why I was so confuse about my problem :-[

Well, many thanks again.

I always make a research before post but sometime, its not easy for me to understand everything in english. There is some words or expression in english that I don't use or understand in french so I don't always find a solution for my problem when I'm searching for. Apologize again for this post ;D and so much thanks.

At MATY, you do not need to apologise autonomously (noautoapologise?). People generally tell you when they think you need to apologise.

Zazazu: I'm glad you got the Fuzzy Pumpkin handle - I thought it was good enough that someone should use it.

More Awesome Than You!
