So before the new patch and new AM file my game was working perfectly.
Unknowingly, i dled the new sims patch and AM would not work with, sims kept CTD at start up loading. So i looked it up, yeah still in beta, ok. So i reinstalled my game and patched it up to 1.46 and dled AM again. Same problem. So i tried playing without AM. It was weird - shiny objects, sims couldnt interact, sims were missing and my family were alot younger. (much the same effects as what is happening now)
My problem now - I dled 1.79 & AM again and now my game is permanently stuffed up.
Main differences and problems;
1. Seems like my save got corrupted or something. The children had all been adults with the youngest as a teen for at least 5 saves. For some reason it was like i never saved at all, 3 weeks ago.
2. The lighting is really weird. In game its quite bright and some white/shiny objects glow and reflect light.
3. Sims cannot interact with neighbours at all.
4. Only 2 options appear when interacting with family members: dance and mean
5. Beginning save file photo is off centre.
6. Interacting with bed gives 2 more options: bedrelax and enterrelaxing
7. Neighbourhood tasks are bright yellow
Theres probably more.
Here are some pics:
