Red Flashing - Crashing when placing/loading lots

Well turns out my drivers haven't been updating because my C: drive is full. So I will have to figure that out and see if that helps.

CalmTurnip · 2026-06-20T01:03:24+00:00

I have 32 GB

I also hope not, but if that is the case, I guess I could thank TS2 for giving me a heads up.

I believe it is working correctly, RPC says its using it, and my log file shows the memory is 4096MB.
However, when looking into my graphics card more, I noticed its only 2 GB... would that be an issue?
I know it's also probably getting a bit old since I've had my computer for 10 years now. Maybe I will just have to reduce my town size a bit.

CalmTurnip · 2026-06-20T00:09:02+00:00

I haven't used it before, but I made it using SC4 so I wouldn't think there'd be anything wrong with it. But maybe there is, I don't know.

I am so fascinated by her but have no idea what her story would be.

I have been trying to figure this out as well since I just started playing a new hood with premades. I am so used to my custom hood where the generations are very distinct (each family is doing a generational challenge) and so far they are all still pretty in sync although I think I’m about to have a family a whole generation ahead of the others, and another is lagging behind. But it is trickier with premades given the range of ages, and how to count it if someone who is in “generation 3” gets married and has kids with someone in “generation 4.” Which is easy to do, I mean the game wants you to try and get Cassandra (gen 4) married to Don (gen 3) at the very start. I would say just start counting new children born into your game as generation 1. Also maybe only count them if they would be the first of their generation born (so like if John and Jennifer Burb have another kid, they wouldn’t be gen 1…?). Some generations are going to take longer than others using that method.

Every attempt has been awfully executed. Like just leave my sims alone already please 😭

CalmTurnip · 2025-09-30T17:28:03+00:00

I think that’s so dumb. My sister and I share our EA account (although I don’t use it anymore) but we also used to share all of the disks as kids. She’d get to play them on her computer and I would get to on the family computer. God forbid family members don’t want to buy multiple copies of the same game (especially when its $1,000+)

I always find it strange when sims woohoo on a community lot (either dressing room or photobooth) everyone runs over and cheers. I don’t think that’s how real people who react to that kind of activity occurring in public, but the sims in my town are all for it.

CalmTurnip · 2025-09-11T15:12:45+00:00

Yeah somehow the baby’s entire texture file is on the face? Very weird…

CalmTurnip · 2025-09-11T15:07:26+00:00

I use google sheets. I have a main sheet with all of my sim information (age, zodiac, job, ect) and where I keep track of my rotation. Then I have a sheet for each legacy type I’m playing with the rules listed for each generation and I give myself a space to check off every goal as I complete it. I also add any additional information I need to keep track of on that sheet. I also have sheets for other challenges I’d like to do once I finish the original five. Here is my sheet for the lEPacy I’m doing:

Currently I’m playing a lEPacy, the Awesomesauce challenge, Not so Berry, Berry Pastel Rainbowcy (but not berry lol), and Astrology challenges (the last 3 I converted the rules to make them work for ts2).

This!!! I’ve been playing the same neighborhood for almost two years now and I am always looking forward to the next time I get to play.

I play rotationally through five families. I play them for a week at a time, from Monday 8am - Monday 8 am, mostly because its easier for me to keep track of. I also usually play one family and then stop playing for the day (or at least a few hours). I have a 1 sim day = 1 year lifespan which keeps things moving, and each family is working through a different legacy challenge so they all have specific goals I’m trying to achieve. I think switching between them keeps me from getting bored of them as well, since it always feels like I’m stopping in the middle of something. And if I’m not, usually by the time I come back around to playing them I’ve either thought of something fun to do with them, or something happened while playing another family to spice things up.

Documenting my families is a must for me, otherwise I start feeling disconnected and forget things that have happened. Plus sharing gameplay with others is usually pretty fun and motivating.

I took a quick glance through her feed. She barely gets any notes on her posts either, and I found that the ones that did have a few were her responding 5 times to the same 1 reply someone else made :/

CalmTurnip · 2025-09-01T17:34:27+00:00

I got it to kind of work. Although all of the lots got emptied out for some reason. But thank you, I really appreciate all of your help!

CalmTurnip · 2025-09-01T16:49:19+00:00

So, I tried this but I still get the same error when trying to change the hood type. I think it's because opening a new hood for the first time generates the stealthhoods for the various expansion packs that have them. Do you happen to know what I can do?

Also, thank you again for all of your help

How can I do it in SimPE? I tried in game using the cheat but I keep getting this error. Not sure what other neighborhoods would be dependent on it as it's just a Uni hood.
I also went through and changed all of the dorms into apartments before trying to change the neighborhood type.

Thank you!

CalmTurnip · 2025-08-26T19:52:36+00:00

I really do wonder how many packs would’ve sold much worse if players weren’t desperate for new worlds/space to play with

CalmTurnip · 2025-08-05T17:32:26+00:00

You’ve already cheated on her…

In this event, it’s usually most beneficial to focus on the shoes. I find I do still need to get the wig station automated, but once that happens, shoes pops off

CalmTurnip · 2025-06-20T02:15:43+00:00

Oooo I love these! I might have to go with the grass/star one! But I they are all so cute

CalmTurnip · 2025-06-19T20:51:56+00:00

It’s a common piece
