Tv screen on Sims 2 Super Collection glitch

Hi, I’ve had a few problems with my Sims 2 Super Collection game on my mac. I went on it the other day and I went into Riverblossom Hills and it was working fine. The next day I went back onto Sims 2 Super Collection and it wouldn’t let me in Riverblossom Hills. The night before I relaunched my finder on my mac and I think it had something to do with that. I went into the Sims 2 Super Collection folder and I went into neighbourhoods but all the neighbourhoods were fine. Then I went into pleasantview on Sims 2 Super Collection on the day Riverblossom Hills wouldn’t let me in and it let me in pleasantview. Then the day after I went into Pleasantview, it wouldn’t let me in. It would just glitch me out the same it did with Riverblossom Hills. The only neighbourhood I had left was Veronaville because Strangetown glitched me out when I went into it. That happened to my Strangetown neighbourhood a long time ago. Veronaville is working fine for me. I also have another glitch. When my sims in Veronaville watch TV the TV just glitches like a static screen and it flashes and it annoys me. I don’t know why the TV glitches. I have cc in my game I don’t know if it’s corrupting my Riverblossom Hills and my Pleasantview neighbourhoods but I don’t think it’s corrupting them. Maybe the cc is corrupting my TV? I do not have any mods in my game what so ever because the last time I had a mod in my game for the first time, it went horribly wrong and it wouldn’t let me back into my household I played when the mod was installed. If you could really really help me, I would SO MUCH appreciate it! ☹️

  • @teddyswirl1 , sounds like something has become corrupted and we need to reset the game back to a "vanilla" state. Don't worry your CC and saved games will be fine. 

    First thing to do is to move your Sims 2 folder (found in your Library folder) to your Desktop. This is where your saved games are stored and they will be safe on your Desktop. Next start the game up and allow for a new Sims 2 folder to regenerate. Start up a new game remembering that none of your saved games or CC will be present at this time. Play for about an hour to make sure that everything seems to be working like normal. You can either quit and save or just plain quit. Either way is fine. You should then try to go back into the game and see if it will lt let you back into the neighborhood you choose to play in. 

    Please let me know if this seems to clear the issue. We can figure out where to go from here if this clears up the game locking up on each neighborhood.

    Mine says it's in the Containers folder because I cannot find com.aspyr folder anywhere except for the containers folder. I will insert an image so you can see. It's in containers, I don't know why but it's got all the data and stuff in it and my cc. I think it's the right one.

    @Tremayne4260  Okay, so yes. It was the right one. I moved the folder to the desktop and the sims 2 did reset. I went into my neighbourhoods and they did in fact work, HORRAY!! :D I don't really know what to do now.. So, what if I don't want my other saved games back? Can I just keep playing the vanilla state game? Because I don't really want my cc and other saved games anymore. I want to start fresh but I don't know how? If you could give me a solution on what to do if I don't want my cc and I want to start fresh that would be great!! 🙂

    @teddyswirl1 ,You can keep playing the Vanilla game. If you wish to delete the folder on the desktop, you can do so since the game created a new one.
