Re: Why is my sims 2 getting stuck on the loading screen

@waterb0ttles , ok sounds like you need to uninstall and reinstall the game. Make sure that you have the 4GB patch since the disks will no longer automatically update, Graphics Rule Maker to add your graphics card information to the game and turn off your firewall.

If you need any help installing the game, again please respond and we'll get it all sorted. 🙂

@waterb0ttles , you will need to uninstall the game first. You should be able to do that normally through Windows. Once that is done, make sure you find and download the 4GB patch for the game and Graphics Rule Maker. You should be able to do a Google search to find both of those fairly easily. 

Let me know when you have done these few steps and then we'll get you back to installing the game. 🙂

@waterb0ttles , Wonderful! Please keep me updated on your progress in downloading and installing the game. 🙂

@waterb0ttles , Great! That's wonderful! 🙂

@waterb0ttles , sometimes the mailbox or trashcan out front prevents Sims from getting in cars or buses or taxis. You may need to move it a little to the left or right and see if that helps. You will need the MoveObject on cheat to move the mailbox or trashcan.

@waterb0ttles , I found this solution on the Official Sims forums and copied the instructions. Before you use them, make a copy of your Sims 2 folder on either a thumb drive or copy onto your Desktop. That way your saved games will be safe if anything weird happens. 

Ok, apparently this glitch has happened to other players as well. So, here's what they suggested be done.

"1. Enter this cheat:

moveobjects on

2. Sell your sim.
3. Save and exit to the neighborhood.
4. Enter the household again.
5. Sim should be next to their mailbox.
Note. Only do this on residental, dorm and apartment lot. If you do that on the owned community lot, don't do it.
I had same issues: my sim didn't go to work no matter what I do. I did that and it worked.
Alternatively you can use testingcheats to force error and delete the sim. The sim reappears next to the mailbox. The cheat is different:

boolprop testingcheatsenabled true
