Hi,

I tried reading up on this, but came up with a blank.

2 of 6 family members left for their own flat. Returning to the lot, I suddenly had a couple of taxis materialize in front of the house. Game play is down to 2 frames per second and the Save/Neighbourhood/Quit options are "greyed out", i.e. not accessible.

From time to time a taxi will disappear, only to be replaced with another one.

See attached photo.

SIMs2 with EP1 University. Some mods, which have worked fine for ages, no new additions. No mods to taxis or the like. Other families are not affected, the 2 I moved out behave fine.

Any ideas how to get out of this other than crashing the game?

Thanks for the help.

I have seen this before, several times in fact. Something's wonky. I searched the help forum for "taxi" and got one page of hits. There should have been more. I went into the archive and searched that forum for taxi and got a "sorry nothing matches your search criteria" or whatever it says. I then did a general forum search and got all sorts of hits including stuff in the archive! Really weird.

Okay,finally! I found it. Here is the post on multiple taxis.

Hi,

Thanks a mil for your help. Looks like I'll have to follow that same procedure.

It's just a pity that I've done everything wrong that I could have done wrong as I've gone and deleted (suicide) the people one by one. The taxis left, but now I can't resurrect them any more since I sold the tomb stones/urns. Stupid. I was hoping that the killing would bring back the quit option. Now it's too late and I lost my current "project" family!

Thanks for the VERY quick help and your effort. I'll report back with the result.

OK, I've played around with different things and have found the culprit - through sheer luck. I deleted the Downloads folder and started putting things back chronologically. The very last file (of ~500) was the NoSchoolCheer, which seems to clash with something.

That this mini file is capable of rendering a whole huge game useless is amazing.

So I lost one family and 2 days of my time. But I thought I'd have to start from scratch, so it's not soooo bad.

Thanks again for the help
