Need help - my game crashes

SimStars13 · 27-04-2009, 05:53 PM

Well, I used boolprop to get some interesting clothes into my game, and then went on to play with the family who had the clothes. I was in their house and I made the woman pregnant. I then didn't want to wait for three days for the baby to come so I used the tombstone of L and D to speed up the pregnancy. When my woman came to give birth, the 'A new family member on the way' message came up. Then a windows box saying the aplication has crashed came up. So I close The Sims, fired it up again, went back to the same house - I had saved my game - and it crashed again in the same place, time etc.
Is it because of boolprop? And dose anyone know how I can make it stop crashing? Thanks

Boolprop can cause conflict with the game and as such I reccommend you use with caution.

Here's a link with all sorts of boolprop info, although it's more about backing up files before they corrupt.

Boolprop info

I have only ever used boolprop once so am not sure what to do to correct your problem, but I'll see what I can look up.

Edit: I've seen varying advice, from deleting affected families to reinstalling the game. Has anyone here had any problems like this with boolprop who can advise SimStars further?

Thanks

:Edit:
ITs only that house that crashes, if that helps

I'm afraid I don't know enough about boolprop to give you any definite advice (I stay well away from anything that might corrupt my game- it's too precious to me!). However, if you weren't too attached to that particular family then you could try just deleting them?

Have you turned off boolrop using the cheat "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled false"?

Yeah, oh well, I guess they can be replaced.

Is you game working fine if you remove your downloads folder, Matthn14?

If you don't know what piece of CC is causing the issue, you could try using the Content Manager and see if that helps you locate it.
