I resisted buying University for months until I broke down and installed the ##@$! last week.At first,after following EXACT instructions,things looked good.
Although my college Sims wouldn't attend class,I had fun with the new
game additions.But then I wanted to go home to Pleasantville-and this is
where my problems begin.Houses would not let me in-they would load until
I gave up and escaped out of the game.And when I could get in, some furniture and
and appliances were bright blue-these must be the "non University" downloads I've read about! I searched in these very forums for help-so I uninstalled,clean installed and reinstalled.Going back into Pleasantville 90% of my families and homes are gone and I panic-I try everything that's been suggested.I delete the neighborhood file and paste my backup neighborhood
file into the newly installed game-nope,GONE.My downloads folder works fine in the new game,but treasured characters and homes are missing that took months to create.When I go through the "clean Installer' and put my saved
game through,my Sims all show up as still in the game.The "groups cache"
continually shows up after loading each game,so I delete,empty trash,and
relocate the file to my desktop-still it comes up in the EA Games file like a
bad dream.And I don't even know what this has to do with my missing neighborhood files but I know it's bad(I read it here again)I've installed
the patch at Sims2.com and I've reloaded the game without the patch-still
nothing.As a final effort,I uninstalled everything,reinsalled Sims2 only,deleted
the entire file and replaced it with my back up file..and still nothing.
Again,it's my custom homes and families that are gone-but still in the backup
file.If there is anyone out there that can help,I will donate another 10.00 to this site as a thankyou fee,if you will.And if it's an obvious mistake on my
part,you can humiliate me and sternly tell me to check the FAQ's nextime-I
don't care anymore!Or if my familes have somehow ended up in your own games,send them home to me-no questions asked,I promise.I am in so
much trouble with the OTHER Sims player in the house,that I may be deleted
and put in the family bin....Please help me! Thom
