When I lost Starling Springs a few months ago, I tried and tried everything I could think of to get it working again. It would load up just fine, but if I clicked on any lot there the game would crash. This happened for no discernable reason. I finally was able to package up my houses and put them on an empty new neighborhood screen. There weren't any people there yet. So oh well! Now the same thing has happened to a populated older neighborhood. It was fine then the next time I went to it a few weeks later, the minute it tried to enter an unpopulated commercial lot, to work on it, the game crashed. When I tried restarting it crashed before it got to the neighborhood screen. I moved the neighborhood folder to a test bed and it started but still crashed when I tried to enter an empty lot there. I restarted it and tried to package up some of the families like I had been able to in Starling Springs, but it crashed at the point where it should have said the package was located such and such where.
I have tried to put the neighborhood folder into another game, I have several, and got the same reaction....crash crash crash. I took out all the suburbs and snapshots and managers. It started up, but the first time I tried to enter a lot crash.
I have all the EPS and SPs except TeenStuff ,, Ikea, and FT. When SecuRom raised it's ugly head I began using a crack (after I lost an entire computer to it) Anyone have any magic solution to recover this neighborhood. I had a few families there and some really Pretty homes. All the elementary stuff like deleting the cache etc. have been no help. Is there something I could change in the game files themselves, like a corrupted sg, and where could it be? Thanks for any and all help. I hate losing an old neighborhood let alone the 24 or so people I had living there. K
