Does this only happen during or after the sims has been played or does this happen at any time? I'm willing to bet with it NOT wanting to start up, you've got either a bad power supply, or a bad connection between the power switch and the pinouts on the motherboard grounding themselves out to your case (highly unlikely). Or, like everyone else is saying, your motherboard is going to die. And soon. Make sure you're getting adequate cooling, but if the damage has been done there's really nothing you can do to reverse it.

any links to where i can find what exactly is required to "manually" fix said fucked up beds? It seems that ever since I ran all my shit thru the decrapifyer and fixed all my CC, my game runs slower than hell. I'd like to try the compressorizer to compress my package files but one step at a time....

I actually had to run the files thru the decrapifyer twice before my game would even recognize them. once before i installed, and a second time i ran the .world file. Everything plays as normal. And I have both non decrapifyed and crapifyed content on my system and thus far my PC hasn't exploded in a firey ball of death. I did use the TSR rigfix program (I know, probably shouldn't have even downloaded it) but my custom content is still acting wonky... my family will sleep in a custom non eaxian bed and get stuck there forever. Or at least until someone uses the resetsim cheat.

well I did some more searching and ran it thru the decrapifyer as was suggested... now, the worlds install, but are they playable? film at 11...

I've downloaded riverview and hidden springs from here (thanks guys!) and a lot of other store content which has worked without fail. Of course all my CC is fucked up thanks to the install of pets. I can't find any patches anywhere on the internet, when I open my launcher and tell the damn thing to update, it says there's nothing for it to update (surprise surprise), and yet when I go to install riverview or hidden springs, the launcher gives me a make sure your game is updated to the latest version.

Umm... what? Thanks EA, because we NEVER get tired of your lack of quality control... it amazes me how often amazing people like yourselves have to fix their nasty code and patch their patches.
