Hello Everyone,

I have this problem where when I want to bulldoze a lot for the first time in a new session of the game, the game completes it, but the second time I want to bulldoze a lot, the game stays at approximately 25%, and the game will still play the neighborhood music, and the Sims 2 Cursor will still function as normal, but the game will be frozen, and I have to sign out every time to close down the game.

This has just happened, and I had a crashing problem before, but it was when I would go into empty lots without visiting a pre-made lot, I fixed that problem by switching to a brand new pre-owned laptop.

This isn't a debilitating problem, but it's kinda scary to me, and I really want to find a fix. I thought it was my memory, but I have the Sims 2 Starter Pack, I did the Graphics Rules Maker, and I did the 4GB Patch numerous times. (Special thanks to PleasantSims https://pleasantsims.com/sims-2-windows-10/ )

Can someone please help me on my Delima.

Thanks,
Your Fellow Sims 2 Player and Part-Time Recolorer

With having a crashing problem before you may have broken this hood.
Don't know how old that pre-owned laptop is but it may not be good enough for sims 2.

The laptop runs the sims 2 better than the previous, but I need help on how to keep the crashes from happening again.

You said it was crashing before and this could have broken this hood in some way.
Crashing on bulldozing a lot is not good.
You may need to revert back to a back up before the crashing started.

ADD: You could try and go into the lot and deconstruct it then try to bulldoze it.

ok, il try that

what, now when i move lots into the bin, it freezes.

It sounds like your computer is not up to handle the Sims 2.
Either your running out of memory or hard drive space or something.

Do you have the 4Gb patch?

Did you use CC on the lots? Could be you've got some stubborn CC items that causes the game to freeze up. Some items can work fine on the lots, but cause issues elsewhere.

Have you tried if the same happens with a CC-free lot? (for instance try to place a maxis-made lot, then bulldoze it again).

Does the size of the lot matter? As in, does it happen with both small and big lots, and both with low/no-CC and heavy-CC lots?

Are sims living on the lot? (If so, make sure to move them out first).

ok, ill try that, but I have the 4GB patch installed, and is there a bulk deleter of lots for outside of the game?
