Neighborhoods Crashing in CAS & Use Mirror/Clothing Situations
Recently I experienced a problem that I was never able to resolve, so I'm casting my bread on the waters here to see if it rings any bells. On an old install of my game, on a different computer, I have a bizarre problem: Create a Sim and using the mirror only work on one neighborhood. The rest simply crash if I try to enter into those modes. This wasn't always the course: it just happened one day. Now, the fact that it works in one neighborhood and not another seems to hint that it's not an issue with a mesh, but I can't say for sure. What's strange is that on my present computer, after a year of playing just fine, the problem has reappeared. It did so shortly after I made two changes to my game: I removed a neighborhood (Old Town) and replaced it with a backup, downloaded from here; and I had installed a handful of celebrity sims. Now, I've removed the neighborhood and recent downloads; I checked the SaveSims folders but didn't see any corresponding to the period last week when I extracted them. At any rate, the problem persists -- and just as last time, the only neighborhood that lets me use CAS and mirrors is the most recent one. The strangest thing is that when I replaced my Pleasantview -- the one working -- with the default Pleasantview, CAS and mirors stopped working. As of the moment, I have zero neighborhoods that will allow me to use create a family, or any clothing/mirror options.
Does this problem seem familiar to anyone?
For what it's worth, both installs had one similarity: I was using the Old Town neighborhood...but I've been using Old Town for months on this install without a problem.
