We all learn the hard way 
Read here:

You need to have these mods in your game, because corruption and mistakes have crept into the original games.
You really need to read the instructions by the creator! For instance - NoSimLoaded does not work without Cyjon's SmarterEPcheck - and it is in the instructions.
Every time you download the wrong mod, your game will give you problems. And it is not really that technical, just take it slow and methodical now and you will be able to play for years without problems.

Download all of the mods.
Put them in folders in your Downloads folder.
Name them as follows: zJMPescado; zzCyjon, zzSimbology, zzzBoilingOIl.
Put each creator's mods into its own folder, and make sure BoilingOil's is last (because he says so).(Add macrotastics to Pescado's folder).(This is not the only way, but is has worked well for me).
While you are at it, put your other downloads in folders too - under the creators name, or under whatever you want (no z's in front).
The z and zz and zzz will make your computer read the mods last.
Download the programs too but put them somewhere else, not in your game, in a folder in your documents. (For if and when you may need them).
Before starting your game, delete the groups cache, the accessory cache and the thumnails files. The game will generate new ones (and it is apparently essential to delete the groups.cache after adding new mods and before starting the game every time - BoilingOil says so).
Take your time. It will be worth it - and strongs

Thank you, I'll try it out and update you.
what do I do about this mod though "Pregnant Sims Wear Any Outfit " because its apparently the wrong version but I don't even know which version to get.
Also do I also put all of my other mods into folders and start them with 'z' 'zz' etc and go on till the last mod? or just those 4?

@SheGamerReloaded -sorry, I have been out for a while.
http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,91730.0.html - this is the one updated for EP8 (pregnant sims wear any outfit)
Only the folders where you have mods in (those that change the game - with z) - the rest you can name whatever you want (creator's name, or tables, chairs, beds, etc).
As for your hoodchecker files - almost everything is wrong there! I am not an expert with the hoodcheker, but it should not have such long lists of invalid relationships with self, incorrect sim substance (or whatever), met self all the time - you can try to fix it with the hoodchekcer. However, your hoods seem royally borked up to me.
Or first try the repair option in Origin (right click on the game while signed in). You will have to reinstall your camera mod but your other cc would remain intact. Be patient - you will get it right

Thank you for replying. I've updated my mods folder completely and arranged it into folder and also updated the mods to the versions etc.
like so:
but when I tried installing this "Hack Conflict Detection Utility" http://www.paladins-place.org/main.htm
it just showed this
and I don't know why. I'm currently repairing my game...would I need to install my graphics rules thing back?

Your folders look better! You should also put a z before Squinge - that is also mods, as well as MogHughson - I think Squinge should probably load after Pescado's - and probably all of the others (I do not know or use all of them) too, but start with these Try to have JMPescado load first.
The Hack Conflict Detection Utility does not find the path in UC - so you have to do some extra work. Copy your Sims 2 Ultimate Collection folder and rename it The Sims 2. So now you have 2 files in your EA folder, which are exactly the same except for the names. Now run the HCDU - it will find the folder named The Sims 2 (you should delete this folder afterwards).
If you find a conflict, don't panic. It can normally solved by moving the load order.

Okay , so I ran the HCDU like you said after I updated my mods folder, installed the mods needed for less corruption and arranged everything and it came up with this
But then when I was playing my game....I now can't remove my toddler from her crib. No one can, she gets up to be lifted but both sims just stand there and can't be moved away.....is there another corruption now. I tried using the Debugger to force them unstuck and it didn't work so I existed the game without saving. Any help?

So I've used that and removed the files and I've attached what it looks like after......are the 'after' files what should be there....however my toddler is still stuck in the crib and who ever is going to pick her out is stuck too....is it a mod corruption?

I looked at one, that is a lot of corruption. No, this is hood corruption most likely nothing to do with mods. I hope you read over the Wiki article. Force error on the family, make backups, if they are important sims extract them with simpe, clone them in body shop and then you always have them. You can keep your hood running longer by never doing any of the VBT; moving sims between hoods, putting sims into houses and moving the house to the bin, deleting all character cheat, deleting sims, deleting graves. Make sure if you install CC that uses an NPC sim to never delete the NPC file. Save all lots to file and to the bin before any sim has moved in. make backups often Use SimPE to extract important sims and clone in body shop. use Hood checker. if you are not causing corruption and are mopping up small things with hood checker you can keep a hood running a long time. There are people here with hoods over 8 years old. |
I basically have 2 choices...to copy over my sims...but what about the alien children I have and all these family were made from one main people that died, so these are the 2 generation of that family, they are brother and sisters, some are witches etc and aliens....so how would that work and I have over 11 sims in each family. its just so confusing but I think I'll have to start over again....at least theres no more crashing

Starting over is not all that bad (Been there, done that more than once!)
If that toddler is still in the crib, I suggest a 50/50 too - but a new hood is definitely the best way to go

Yes - I looked at those files, and it sure looks like trouble. I don't know how to look for corruption, really, but those are long lists of problems and comparing it to mine, it is probably a good thing that she has pulled her cc. It seems ages ago, but actually my hood blew up around 2010 - and I had no idea about the VBT's then myself, so there is hope
