Corrupted files
Hi, Last night my Sims 3 game never fully loaded. There is no panel showing in order to access the Sims Inventory, etc. Also, there are no character icons showing to control them. In EA Help, the ...
@jeanmarie618 Most cheats are fine, but a couple can be problematic. In particular, you should never object-delete a sim, which can and will corrupt your save. Using moveobjects on a sim can mess up routing; whether it causes broader issues probably depends on where you use it and the sim(s) involved.
Subways aren't problematic in and of themselves, but they do change world routing, and it's possible the game takes more resources to calculate sim routing when there are subways present than not. But just spending a lot of time in Edit Town can put your save over the RAM limit, at least in that play session, when it's getting close already: Edit Town takes more resources than normal gameplay.
Yes, you should delete the .bad save, you're not going to be able to load it anyway. It's still worth trying to load the one that ends in .backup, since that's a slightly older version of the save and may be less affected than the newer one.
>>>In particular, you should never object-delete a sim
I've seen that Object thing and hope I didn't accidentally do that. When I need to get rid of a Sim I usually move them out of their home, then leave them on the clipboard and return to game. If it is a zombie, I use resetSim. I do use resetSim often on zombies.
Trying the .backup now.
