Object Error leading to Deleted sims

Everything seemed normal for about 10 hours, when suddenly the game became EXTREMELY laggy (1 frame per minute) and I couldn't figure out why.

It kept lagging for a while and then this window appeared. I tried pressing "Reset" a couple of times hoping it would work. Finally, I ended up pressing "Delete" and the game started behaving normally again. Reading the window, I figured that it was an issue with my Sims promotion (she was due one) as it did not trigger and then, every day after work this window (or a similar one) would show up. 

After a few in game days, my child started having trouble - not being able to use the stairs of the house anymore. I realized I couldn't delete the stairs and got annoyed, decided to move the house to a bigger one. It seemed to have fixed it, even though the Object Error window was still popping every once in a while.

Finally, I made my child (the one that couldn't use the stairs previously) look at the telescope and when he was supposed to receive a Logic point, I got this window. I pressed reset once, twice, thrice, the window was gone... but so was the child.

Memories of the child are still there - I don't si the $Subject string, still the child's name. I quit without saving, but seeing a lot of posts about this makes me think that it won't make him come back.

RIP Godrick :( Seen on this screenshot doing his homework next to a hole.

  • Do you have the debug cheat "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" on? This can cause errors like this. So while the cheat is useful, it's best to use it for what you need then turn it off again, rather than have it permanently on.

    PS I read you had played the game for 10 hours. With Sims 2, it's best to save regularly and also shut down and restart the game pretty regularly too, otherwise it starts to get cranky.
