Anyone who knows about merged cc files...
I have recently just started merging my cc for ts2 - I thought it would do it good for my mod folder to reduce the amount of files...
however,
since starting doing this every time I add new CC, my game starts crashing on the same screens - CAS (ui disappears and it crashes - this happens when clicking the tick button once completing a family), creating a new hood (ui disappears and it crashes), or trying to go into a sub-hood (again, the ui disappears and then it crashes). However, I can do everything else (I believe), fine.
The trouble-shooting I've done when this issue occurs is delete The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and then re-create it by opening the game. Then slowly re-introducing my cc, putting a couple of folders in at a time (including the merged files) and then opening the game each time I add something new. This seems to be the only way for it to work. Once its all back it everything seems to work fine.
Then, when I add something new - merged or unmerged - the issue reoccurs.
I am going to try it again, not putting any merged cc and see if the same issue happens. Really fed up with it as I just want the game to work. This has never happened to me before merging so.. a bit confused.
Please can someone who might be knowledgable here help me?
EDIT 1: So, it still happens after removing my downloads folder, and will only work again once I re-generate the entire Sims 2 Ultimate Collection documents folder.
