Game Closes After Family Loading Screen?
Hi all, I'm in a bit of a pickle and hoping you all can help me.
I haven't played Sims 2 since like, July or even before then this year, but I was itching to go back to it now that I have time off work. I'm currently playing Veronaville, but I'm encountering a problem. Whenever I load up a specific household in Veronaville, the game flat out closes. No warnings, no crashing sounds, nothing. The loading screen does its thing, then goes right back to my desktop. I don't understand why. When I last played this hood and family months ago, I had absolutely no problems whatsoever. I loaded the family, and the game would continue just peachy. But now it will not let me play this family. Additional info about the problem:
-I have left the game untouched since I last played it. Nothing new has changed.
-I do have a LOT of mods/CC, but it's the same amount as before with no problem.
-I have run HoodChecker after and before each playthrough, removing all problems it encounters.
-I am using Tarla's clean hood templates.
-I haven't changed any files or whatnot.
-I could load up another family just fine.
-I do have all my hoods backed up from before this happened.
-Yes, I have the 4GB patch installed.
So, I'm completely confused. When I loaded up another family, the game seemed to have reset itself as if it's my first time playing (gives me tips, had edge scrolling, all that). I wonder if it happened because of the forced switchover to the EA App once Origin went kaputz. Maybe doing that reset the game entirely? But even so, my hoods are still there as before, but this is giving me problems. Maybe it's because I *just* finished installing a massive Windows 10 update that I had been putting off for a long time due to it throwing me errors whenever I tried...I don't know.
I reeeeeeeeeeeally don't want to have to go back and replay everything. I have everything backed up though, like I said, when everything was totally fine. I don't know what to do, as I haven't played Sims 2 in months, and now that I'm back around doing so, it won't cooperate. I've tried three times already, and it's the same results every time. If it makes any difference, my graphics card is some version of AMD Radeon. Any advice would be appreciated!
