Reason: Fixed
This user has the following games installed:
Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
SimPE says character file is missing, and game acts like sim is deleted, but character file is intact?
I know the title might be a bit confusing, but anyways... I was checking
SimPE when I noticed it said two of my toddlers had no character files. I loaded up their families, and they were both invisible, didn't show up in the pie menu, couldn't interact with anything, and would constantly spit out "Hit break point primitive" errors if boolprop was on. It sure looked like their character files were deleted, but when I checked their character files in
SimPE (since I know I would have to restore a bunch of stuff in there to fix them) it didn't look like a stub file at all- everything in the character file seemed to be there and in working order. Now I'm confused- obviously SOMETHING'S going wrong- but I can't tell what. Like I said earlier, I know there's a way to fix missing character files, so instead of simply adding new files to the stub file, do I just replace stuff, or what? I am... so confused and stressed right now.
Edit- To clarify, out of the files that the
sims wiki article for restoring a sim without a character file says need to be replaced, the broken toddlers still have catalog description, directory of compressed files, jpgtgapng image, object data, object functions, and version information. The only one they're missing is package, and I can't find that for sims who DO actually function properly.
Justice for Viola Monty!
