Thank you for clarifying I knew about not moving sims to other neighborhoods and/or into the bin with lots etc but could not remember if one corrupted neighborhood could affect another and I absolutely forgot about mods so it's probably best I remove those until last and finish off with some further testing then. I hear what you say about some mods not playing nice with UC and I try to be careful by running them through the hack conflict checker but some mods are essential to my style of play so if they don't show as a conflict I play with them in.

I never knew about the patch situation regarding UC so I am going to assume from what you have written that the UC version of the game is always going to be more prone to issues by default then. I have the discs bought and put away just in case I ever need them but have never played the disc version yet due to several articles I came across that blamed the S2 discs for destroying PC hardware for one reason or another so that always put me off as I have pretty expensive hardwear I would prefer not to have to replace suddenly lol

Which version of the game are you playing? I was wondering if you have payed both versions and which version you thought was better?

I still have the TS2 base installed. But also have TS2UC installed but not tied to Origin. When I removed Origin from my pc, I moved out the TS2UC folders so they wouldn't be uninstalled. Then put them back in under the folder called Origin Games. This allowed me to keep TS2UC and keep playing without ever being bothered by Origin again and or having to update TS2UC. As long as the Origin Games folder remains inside your program files (and it isn't uninstalled when you unistall Origin) you can continue to play TS2UC if you never patch with Origin.

EA gave me TS2UC in 2014. I'm not a fan of the comp packs because as you say they have bugs the discs and patches will not have. I'm also not a fan of M&G since it bugged out placing stairs next to an existing wall and that annoying salute animation when Sims walk outside (even if snowing) in M&G (holding hand at eye to shade sunshine). I played many years without it installed since I was annoyed by those things. But as far now I have TS2UC installed, but removed Origin three years ago.

Just recently did I reinstall Origin to load TS4, however, was disappointed as usual and strongly thinking about uninstalling it again. ETA: For now I have that Qwebhelper. exe disabled as it is just spyware phoning home anytime you are connected to internet.
