Create a Family Problem
Not sure if the problem is from ITF or 1.63 because I installed both at the same time. I cannot create a new family. The game hangs up when I click the check mark and it should take me to the screen where you edit relationships before approving the family. The game keeps processing, but nothing happens. Moreover, I have to end the game through Task Manager. I cannot ESC out or otherwise close the game. I cannot right click on the icon in my task bar and close that way.
I can play a current family and make saves. I have even edited a sim in CAS in a current family (via Twallon's Master Controller) and had no problems.
I created clean user files (i.e., renamed old folder and then started game to create a new one). No CC or mods are in this clean install. There are no prior saves nor any previously saved sims.
I checked all my drivers. Everything should be up to date. I also moved a bunch of files to a flash drive so have more available storage memory.
I should note that I can place a bin family into a new home from Edit Town. I just can't create any more of them! Thanks in advance.
ETA: Also have cleared out all caches. Even cleared thumbnails, worlds, etc., as suggested in another thread.
Mods: I have created new User Files to test issue and currently am running clean copy with no mods.
CC: No. All CC has been removed.
I have Into the Future and 1.63 (Also all EPs and most SPs)
Patch: 1.63
Game: Am trying to start a new game, but problem also existed in old game.
Cannot create a family either in new game/world or in an old one
Have tried Sunset Valley, Sunrise Tides (?) Isla Paradise and Bridgeport
OS: Win 7
