Thanks for the tips. :) However, my system specs actually are listed in my initial post regarding the problem. :/ Also, my system is up to date in terms of drivers, OS, and software updates, etc. In terms of what I've been doing when the crashing happens, as I said, it really is random. I've had it happen regardless of…
-
I do have the 4GB patch already installed and it is detecting it and didn't see anything leap out in the crash logs as to why it may be happening. :/
-
Why would an .ini file need to be edited? Regardless, I'll send along the private message as requested. Thanks! :smile: Thanks again for the tips, but unfortunately it's still crashing. :( I spent more than an hour last night on a build and was just about to save when it was back to the desktop and no progress saved. :(
-
Sorry for the delayed reply again! :blush: I actually had used the Graphics Rule Maker in an effort to get the game to recognize my video chipset (especially given that what I have is too new for the game to have recognized it) as well as the amount of available RAM. :/ On a semi-related note, is there a way to re-enable…
-
Sorry for the delayed reply! No, I don't have any mods nor any CC in my game. It's completely vanilla and as mentioned earlier, a new install. Thanks for the response! :)
-
Happy to report that my game appears to be loading fine (along with the launcher) as of my typing this. The drive I had my game install files on appears to have gone bad (my saved game files nor OS were never impacted as they sit on a different drive entirely), which I'm now thinking may have been responsible for what…
-
Which version of Windows are you running? Also are you adding to or just replacing an existing drive? If it's the latter, I'm wondering if you may be better off just cloning the drive? Also, if you're just looking to get the drive set up for now (and may be removing a drive later) and are out of SATA cables, you can try…
-
I did try and run the repair game option under Origin. However, when I hit "play" and the launcher came up, same problem and situation as before. :( Thanks for the suggestion, though. :smile:
-
Thanks for posting this as I'm glad to know it's not just me who was wondering what happened to the "x" or finds that banner annoying. I don't mind seeing an announcement once, but to see it every time I log in, again, tends to get distracting to the eyes in ways that annoy me and I wish there was some way as previously to…
-
I'm another one who would personally love to see more done with the arts and crafts idea and maybe actually see more forms of different arts and crafts included beyond just one type of media! Also, why not include some that kids can also interact with?
-
Given how important bees are to our ecosystem and how they're under threat, I'm happy to see this. :smile:
-
Death by Flies, if I remember correctly, was also something that could happen in Sims 1 and not just Sims2. In fact, as I recall, it led to enough complaints at one point that the developers (as a Sims Day download) created a fly-eating plant (venus flytrap?) which we could place within a household to take care of the…
-
I'm actually running Sims2 on an install of Windows 7. While I did run into the issue you describe where it failed to recognize my graphics card and set it to the lowest possible resolution by default, I remembered that one of the fansites actually had posted something about this along with a walkthrough on how to resolve…
-
As with GraceyManor, not sure how Origin should have had a direct impact on my game files. However, thanks for trying to help! :) GraceyManor, I tried what you suggested and was able to get back into my game again. However, still no idea what's going on that created the problem and am wondering if it's somehow possible to…
-
Yes, I tried pulling my saved games out and had even tried starting a new game, yet it continues to happen with the same error message. :( Thanks for trying to help, though!
-
I'm in the boat where technically, this is actually an almost impossible choice for me to really make as I not only love and heavily use the content in each pack but also incorporate the gameplay each pack introduced into my game very heavily. I ultimately chose Island Paradise in part because it seems to be the pack I had…
-
Dreamer, if you're playing through Origin and without your discs, these days, I thought there should be a way of being able to reinstall Outdoor Living that way (at least, if the pack was registered)? When I had to reinstall my operating system on my desktop a while back, I admittedly had some problems finding all my discs…
-
Admittedly, of all the packs I tend to use the stuff from Outdoor living the most, as I not only like the look of many of the items that came with that pack, but find them to be versatile to a variety of different decorating styles.
-
While I get that EA is leaning more toward fractals with its current Sims4 branding and existing visual system that they've sought to create, the effect it's had on the logomark options for this pack borders on gradients in some cases (the latter is usually not a good thing from a design perspective, but I'm also sure that…
-
Given that I still play 2 and 3 in addition to 4 on the desktop and Freetime and the mobile version on my phone (when I actually have time to play--unfortunately, real life has a habit of limiting that), unless something drastic happens or unless I lack any free time to play anything at all, I don't see myself not still…
-
I'd love to see quilts, pillows, throws, rugs (including more rag rugs), doilies (maybe some lace also?), shawls, hats (including those cute knitted animal-head looking hats for toddlers and kids that sometimes have ears on them), maybe Macramé (such as wall hangings or plant holders and maybe hammocks?), along with some…
-
After seeing this, I'm super excited to have this in my game, especially as a builder as there are so many possibilities that this opens up!
-
When I've lost interest, I take a break for a bit from playing. Sometimes this means focusing on other games or other times I'll focus on other things in my life that may be going on. Sometimes, the latter can serve as a source of inspiration for my game such as when I build or decorate (for example, I may see something in…
-
As much as I'd personally love to see the return of spiral stairs, I think I'll wait for more official confirmation about them.
-
While it reminds me of some past packs with a similar concept going for every incarnation of Sims released for the PC/Mac, I have to admit I'm really looking forward to seeing not just the new worlds, but especially the Art Nouveau theme being presented in this pack.
-
I get that brands periodically need a refresh to remain relevant or sometimes attract a new audience and to avoid appearing dated, stale, or boring. I also get that fractals are currently very much an "in" thing right now in design (I'm a graphic design major, so both the idea of refreshing a brand or rebranding are very…
-
It really depends upon the household I'm playing to be honest. I sometimes might have a sim who has to work for everything (and it's sometimes led to some haphazard construction or decorating of their homes) or others where I might build the overall house and include what one might typically find when buying a house in…
-
I agree in the swatches comments versus the system that was used with Sims3 and customization. If it was supposedly intended as a performance thing with Sims4, why is it that some of us are actually noticing just as much of a performance or resource hit running it as we might have with Sims3 at times (or, at least, it…
Howdy, Stranger!
