Some speech gone missing

[barada]

When Sims are at any mirror now, the PRACTICE SPEECH audio is missing. All works fine on PRACTICE ROMANCE though and GUSSY UP.

Also when some sims are chatting at a table while eating, the audio is missing as well.

Just moved the game over to XP on a new PC. I tried the game from a clean start (without my Documents folder included), and the sound has returned, so I do know that the issue is something to do with the my Document saved area of my game, but where to start ??. I tried the clean installer to check through the 700 dloads but still no sound returning...

Any help or advice appreciated. :)

After alot of messing around, the cure apparently is pretty straightforward.

All I had to do was copy my Sims 2 folder to a safe place(the desktop), then delete the original Sims 2 folder. Then all you do is start the game up, the new files be created again from scratch, then afterwards just replace in all my original folders that are different from the default ones!!.

Seemed soo difficult at first to see my problem, but got there in the end. At least I learned something in the long process of trial and error. NEVER GIVE UP!!. Now that I can hear them, how long before I get sick of them!!??.
