When reinstalling, getting skuversion.txt errors base game and EP discs
Hi all, I've searched here, read the guidlines and also looked online but haven't found an answer to my specific problem so I hope it's okay to post this here.
When installing my game to a new SSD I'm getting a "skuversion.txt is corrupt or unreadable" error on the base game and most of the EPs. I installed up to Pets before I thought I should probably uninstall and try again and I got the same error. So I tried going into the discs on File Explorer and seeing if I could read them there, I've only been able to read the text file from Pets, Island Life, and all the SPs. I've copied them just in case.
I don't know if I'm able to continue without these skuversion files and patch the game as normal or if this is something that's going to cause an issue when I play. I can see that the info inside the text file is different for each one I can actually read, does anyone know what I should do? Could I make this file myself for the missing ones with the info I have? It seems really odd that it's only this file that's affected on some of my discs, they're stored carefully and I think the chances of a precise scratch causing this file to corrupt and no others on multiple discs is very low.
For info:
- I uninstalled the game following best practices (checking the registry and clearing it, no folders were left behind).
- I've reinstalled the game before with these discs with no errors, this is the first time I've come across it
- I have the base game and all EPs/SPs
- My PC is above the requirements for the game, I can run at max detail settings with no issues (I choose 3 detailed lots as personal preference)
- Mods have been removed for the uninstall and I haven't introduced them yet as I hadn't finished reinstalling
Thanks in advance for the help.
