The Sims 2: Help with an error/glitch?

Question

Hmm, so there is this tree in the yard that started flaming randomly. Like, it caught on fire. I think it was in a lightning storm, and those usually go out, but this one never did. I tried calling the fire department but they said I had no fire and fined me 500 bucks. My (younger) sister told me to use "Force Error", which deleted the tree, but now there's a floating patch of fire, which cannot be deleted even with move_objects. It slows down my game when it comes onscreen.

Help please? :)

Answer 1

I think you might have success if you download the 'stuckobjectsremover' hack from More Awesome Than You. http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/maty/ffs/

Click on your latest EP, then click on hacks, then click on stuckobjremover.zip

And remember to turn off your boolprop cheats before installing it.



Edit: yeah I could not play without that hack! It's a godsend!

Found a thread about your same problem and the same hack was recommended. I'm posting the Google cache link as modthesims2 is down at the moment.

Answer 2

Well, I would try using the stuckobject remover that Wollybutt talks about as I have that already and know it works great. But, just in case you don't want to have to download something to fix it, the only other option I can think of is to tell you to put the family into the sim bin, bulldoze the lot and then move them into a new lot.
