see if your game is up to date hover the mouse over the mouse over the base game icon
Hi, right my game is fully up to date and from what I have found on other forums this is not a new problem. But one that once again has been cased buy and up-date. I am able to play the game with out my cc files, most of my Basic game content is slowly filtering back in to the game and a very small % of cc files.
I not to sure how this works but I manage to get the library folder working and found some of my older Sims and mixed them in with the new Sim. I did try get help from EA, on Sunday, but as soon as I told them that it was not cased by cc files, but their recent up date they just did not what to know and one of them ended the live chat dead.
I have been thinking about uninstalling the game and doing a clean sweep of my system then reinstalling the, but stop before I up date to the last to patch's back-up and install all my cc files save acopy and the run an upgrade, to see if that works??

Hi, well I only use Firefox as my browser and I all ready tried with all my security software turned off still no good, but I have managed to reinstall some of my old cc files, but these are only package files.
And I have found that the game is very sluggish and freeze up a lot since I installed them, which is making me think that there may be some sort of code imbedded with-in the game’s core to try and stop use from using the old package files instead of the newer pack files. If my memory is right I think there was some sort of problem back with Sims 2, that was very similar to this!
