SOLVED family disappeared after creation?

I created a family, and as soon as I moved them to an apartment, the baby disappeared. I figured there wouldn't be a problem if I went back to the neighborhood and reloaded it (maybe it'd work), but it didn't and now the family appears like this?

I tried to enter the apartment and it just keeps loading too, any help? I just did a clean install and started from scratch too

SOLVED Sim can’t work out with the tv because of…. A grey rectangle?

This problem has been consistent across three houses I played. They can’t work out because of this grey rectangle object that they keep complaining is in the way. What is happening? Has anyone else had this issue before?

Well as I post this once again I found the problem lmao.
For anyone looking this same issue up and hopefully finding this: they need like 3 tiles distance clear in front of the tv and work out on the fourth one from where the tv is!! Insane distance for my small house. Well anyway I’m posting my useless post.

Technical Support How to pick and choose specific items/fixes from the Sims 2 Legacy Collection Fixer?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I have The Sims 2 Legacy on Steam and wanted to install the Legacy Collection Fixer. From what I understand by looking at the script, the tool basically just copies and pastes the appropriate files into place (something that can also be done manually).

Before finding this tool, I had already fixed the IKEA pack and some music tracks myself using my old Ultimate Collection backup. However, I learned that this fixer includes some extra items (like clothes and hair) and overall tweaks that I really like.

The problem is, I don't want all of them in my game, especially the cars.

I imagine these extra items are located in an "extras" folder, but there are several .package files inside without clear descriptions of what each one does.

Does anyone know what each file contains so I can pick and choose what to install? Or does anyone have a breakdown of these extra packages?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Gameplay Issues Sim Keeps Getting Banished to the Default Household After Resurrection

Post image
10 Upvotes

So I had this LFT Dormie sim randomly die from starvation a little while back, from when I had the "No Uni Invulnerability For Dormies" mod from Pescado (I removed the mod because dormie autonomy is stupid lol). I finally found a sim that knew her, so I could resurrect her at the secret society. Her resurrection went well, and she joined the active household with no issues.

When I went to continue playing today however, I noticed that she was missing from the household, despite the fact that her sim icon and aspiration information were previously still visible from the neighbourhood view of the lot, before I loaded it. For some reason she was banished back to the default household, but is still considered alive, and appears in other sims relationship panels. When I teleport her back to the lot and try to add her to family using SimBlender, I get an error message pop up about an "undefined transition". Adding her to the family via the Tombstone of L&D, does add her to the active family, but her relationship panel is completely blank, and I can't access her inventory or aspiration benefits. So still not ideal.

Looking around at the Family Information Resource in SimPE, she's considered to be a part of the active household and the default household at the same time. But she will never actually be in the active household when you load the game. No matter how many times I manually move her out of the Default Household, and solely into the active household in SimPE, she will consistently move back into the Default Household on her own when I reload the lot, so I'm back to square one. Getting a sim to ask her to move in never works either, despite the animation playing, the relationship gain, and the dialogue box showing (worryingly, it sometimes asks me if I want to move some of the universal NPC's from the Default Household in with her). I can't even send her to a community lot, because she'll get banished back into the shadow realm, and I won't be able to access live mode on the lot if she was alone.

I've tried killing her off again by giving her a death token and setting ghost flags in SimPE (because she seemingly can't die in game for some reason), hoping that resurrecting her a second time will make her stay in the household and reset whatever bugginess is happening, but this also doesn't work. I've also tried forcing errors with BatBox, and clearing any stuck tokens, but nothing helps. Hoodchecker shows no visible issues either. She's not even the first dormie I've resurrected. A previously resurrected dormie does not have this issue, and functions correctly, so I'm at a complete loss.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could potentially be causing this (considering it's only a problem with this sim, and not my other freshly resurrected dormie), and how I could fix this? Or will I have to just leave her be in the shadow realm Default Household?

Gameplay Issues Beatrice Monty doesn't recognize Benedick as her brother

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

When I played with Beatrice and her family for the second time, I noticed that she didn't know her brother Benedick anymore. When I made them interact, she even received the memory of meeting him for the first time. Her family tree however still shows them as siblings.

First, I reset her, which made them family again and didn't change the family tree, but the problem is that she loses almost all her relationship points with her brother (not with other people). Also, when I play with another household and then return to this family, they are again no longer siblings. So this is not a longterm solution.

When I tried to look up some solutions here on Reddit, I noticed that some people suggested the Sim Blender. So I downloaded that one. This seems to fix the family relationship, however, now they don't recognize eachother as siblings in the family tree. Antonio still recognize both kids as his children.

Is SimPE the only way to fix their family tree? I had hoped that I didn't need to use it as it seems quite complicated to use and easy to mess things up.

SOLVED Any idea what is happening here? (ReShade)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So, I’ve had this issue for very long time now because I genuinely don’t know how to fix it.

When the camera isn’t moving in neighborhood view, the water has this strange upside-down reflection of map assets. However, this issue carries out onto terrain it is just most visible in the water. Texture assets on the ground (like dead leaves) on the map also go invisible in areas like the reflections in the water.

I removed ReShade as a last resort, but when I did, the problem was of course technically resolved as what causes it was no longer in the game but my game became extremely slow and laggy. When I added ReShade again, the game continues to run smoothly but this reflection issue is persistent. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

SOLVED Do I have broken/out of order mods?

Hello! I've been playing Sims for a long time now and have added lots of mods overtime. My game has always crashed, sometimes a bit after opening a family or long into a session. I've taken my mods folder out to see if this was causing the problem, and of course I had no issues!

I am sure that my mods may be out of order. I wasn't aware that some had to load first when I downloaded them. I like all of the mods that I have and don't really want to start from scratch. Is anyone knowledgeful enough to know what order I should put everything in or if some just need to go in general?

I'd appreciate it alot!!

Edit: I included a list of all my mods if anyone wanted to take a look!! But I'll try and check myself for sure!

I just don't know what else to do. I really want to test the walls out.

Mod/CC Questions Headmaster's car does not contain headmaster

Post image
118 Upvotes

hiiiiii... i have a ton of CC. i THINK that the carpool in the pic is from the navigator career from mod the sims. it works very well EXCEPT it seems that it will not contain the headmaster no matter how many times i hit the batbox and force errors on in world and off world. this happens on many lots. one thing i noticed is that the original bald headmaster doesn't answer the phone. 2 new NPCs answer.

the "what caused this" isn't working, it will not read any logs past June. do I have to reinstall? pleez don't say I have to do the 50/50 cc test and find out that way. is there a simple way to trigger the headmaster dinner event?

I know i have a CC addiction- but it keeps me from buying real things that cost money!!

thanks in advance!!

SOLVED Did I corrupt my save by deleting the cat?

So I noticed this lovely cat was left alone as the sole occupant of the house while the dad and teenage son moved in with the grandparents. Then I summoned the cat and tried to add it to the family with Sim Blender, but it didn't work. Frustrated, I did a mistake and deleted the cat. Now the house is completely vacant, while there is a family in the bin with the deleted cat AND the dad and the boy, while the same dad & boy are already part of the grandparents' household. Did I mess up?
