Hmmm, a troll. Very convenient. Thanks for restarting this, Crinrict.
Okay: My game worked perfectly - not a hiccup, lag or momentarily pause, except for some reason, sometimes while vacationing in France, since the day I installed it. I have all the EP's and SP's except FLS.
I DO NOT HAVE CC or mods. Nothing off the exchange, only Store items.
When I received LateNight, I automatically checked the launcher first to see if there was an update I should install before I installed the EP (made the mistake of not checking once and it destroyed my game so I always check and install any
update first then the EP).
Installed LN and played around a bit in Bridgeport getting used to things. No glitches, no problems with butlers or mixologists or people not showing up to clubs. Just worked fine.
So I started a new game with my favourite Sim (a copy of him from the bin) and
he wanted to learn the mixology skill so I got him the books. We were good until Level 7.
There he was, sitting in his chair, no longer turning book pages. Sitting and
not moving while everything else went on around him. Stuck fast. I tried to reset him and poof, gone.
Nothing I have done since that fatal day, months ago works. I reinstalled it all, decided to stay out of Bridgeport and played Sunset Valley. New Sim. New
house. New everything. He's all skilled up, high along in his career and looking good. Tell him to get the mail. Hear the mailbox open - wait a minute?
Where is my Sim?
It doesn't matter what Sim, what family, house or town. In about ten Sim weeks,
the Sim I am playing (not the game) will freeze or just vanish. They are not, in my opinion doing anything specific that might cause them to vanish, like working on a invisibility spell...the last one was talking to the maid.
I have also had NPC Sims get stuck in park benches on the community lots. A buildup of cars and stereos in inventories, etc., etc.
None of this has been addressed by EA and it is really too bad that this thread has sat here for so long, ignored, while so much effort was put into it by so many people trying to help each other since, obviously EA cannot or will not, only to have it deleted because of one stupid post!
(EA sure noticed that post among all the others - wonder if they even bothered to read the thread.)
