Dang it!

Last time I posted I was having a truckload of trouble with my game, things were incredibly borked and the game barely playable because of said borkage. Welp, I've still got the borkage. I've tried what everyone else has said would work (uninstalling a certain windows update & checking downloads for dodginess, etc) and no go. I can play the game,

^ What they said. Was it visually borked, or was it gameplay?

[katmiesterk8]

Here's what I said to Esme: It's mainly hairs and clothes that are visually borked, though I did have one instance when some furniture was borked as well. Some of the clothing options in CAS appear as either skin instead of what they're meant to be or as some generic outfit which they are not.

Okay, it sounds like you have broken code somewhere: meshes or textures are not being referenced when they should be. Do all of these items come from the same expansion pack, or are they scattered throughout different expansions? If it's just from one expansion pack, you can uninstall it and reinstall it specifically, most likely it was overwritten by another stuff pack. If it's from a lot of expansion packs, or if you have borked interactions, I would recommend copying the neighborhoods (and of course all the CC) you wish to keep to your desktop or a disk, and doing a complete uninstall/re-install.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game yesterday. Today I'll start up the game and see how it runs. *crosses fingers that it works properly*

Yeah, just hang in there. Make sure that your expansion packs are in separate folders (Last time I had this sort of thing happen I'd loaded OFB in the same folder as University, so my fridges abruptly disappeared,) and run it for a bit to look at the bits that were previously borked, before you try adding any CC back in.

[katmiesterk8]

What exactly do you mean about OFB loading in the same folder as Uni?

[scribal_goddess]

When I installed it, I forgot to make individual folders for the two expansion packs, so some of the data for OFB overwrote some of the install data for UNI. The automatic install should keep them separate, but I wanted to put them on my D drive rather than C due to space issues, and I goofed up.

[katmiesterk8]

Oh ok. That makes sense.

[scribal_goddess]

Did it work?

[katmiesterk8]

No! *sigh* I give up. :(

[scribal_goddess]

oh dear. :(
