I have Bon Voyage, Free time, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Teen Style (stuff) and University downloaded. I have no custom content/hacks. I have played the whole thing together and everything worked fine. But I loaded it, after doing nothing different, and went to make a new family. In the box where it normally says "Enter last name here" there was nothing. In picking their aspirations, nothing showed up when I hovered over it. The icons were there but the aspiration (family/pleasure/etc) WORD wasn't.
When I got to the house I couldn't re-color anything- in the catalog or with the design tool. It just said "this object is not designable"
Then, when I hovered over a want they would have it would say something along the lines of (this is for adopt a pet): "#### missingstring for <adopt a pet> +5000" (no quotes) Also, the needs text was missing. The bars are there but not hunger/energy/etc.
I've reset the game, the computer. It happens every time. I followed the file that comes up before you can post but it wouldn't let me rename the sims 2 file in ea games folder.
Sorry if this has been answered, but I looked and couldn't find it.
