Help

I need help with installing a house. I downloaded this house but it wasn't being installed. So, I downloaded the Clean Installer. Whenever I try to install using the Clean Installer, it says "Could not find a part of the path", and then it says this shortcut thing. I tried researching about this issue but I couldn't find anything. If you can help me out, please do!!

  • @kaitlyn0 Can you post a link to the house? I'm not at home at the moment, but if you post a link I can try when I get home or someone else may be able to do so.
  • Have you ever done any of the VBTs in that hood? Like deleting sims from the bin or place occupied lots in the lot bin? Cause that causes corruption straight away in a hood and even though you might not see it straight away your hood will eventually pack it in. Also all the maxis hoods come corrupted in some way when shipped especially the base hoods. You should install these ones as they have been cleaned up. https://meetme2theriver.livejournal.com/63030.html

    I don't know about the OP and her neighborhood, but I had not done anything that would create a VBT in Belladonna Cove before it went belly up.
  • Yeah but if they are the original maxis hoods that are shipped with the game then they all have some degree of corruption before you even play them.

    Yea, neighborhoods resetting themselves is not a symptom of neighborhood corruption to my knowledge. Or it have happened a lot more than it did. Until the OP stated what happened exactly, I thought I was the only one it had ever happened to.

    And it's very very very rare for neighborhood corruption to reach that bad within less than a few Sim weeks when you only played a custom made family (I had used Belladonna Cove only for the premade houses and not to play the Sims there themselves). Mine also don't venture outside of the house often so the spread would have been very slow for the corruption. I had made a couple and they quickly got pregnant and had twins. The twins were toddlers when the neighborhood reset itself. That was the only family I had played in that neighborhood. Ever.
  • I've made a quick search on google about Belladona Cove resetting itself ... And i've found at least two story similar to your story, never knew this could happened (this show the importance of backup) Oo'
    Unfortunately, i didn't see any concrete answer :/
