Sims 2 Clean Installer

Post by Jendra »

I can't install lots. I've downloaded the clean installer, but every time it starts up I get a pop-up that says Clean Installer has stopped working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it and I still have the same problem. When I take it out and try to double click a .Sims2pack file I just get a whole lot of symbols. I posted on MTS forums because someone there was having the same problem but never got an answer. Any suggestions on what the problem might be or a work around?

have you tried running Clean Installer under "Run as Administrator"? Sometime this is required since Clean Installer copy files into your documents. If that works but it still crashed every time you load up the lot, then the lot file is corrupted. don't even bother with it because the files in it will eventually crash your game.

Also, I do not recommend you install ANY lot without using Clean Installer. Sim2pack and any other installers tend to install behaviors/junk that wasn't properly cleaned when the original uploader packaged it. again, it can crash your game.

EDIT: Oh, also try running Clean Installer under Administrator and try to open a different lot file that you had worked before. if that one opens fined, then it's definitely the lot that you're trying to open that's the problem.

It doesn't even get to the lot before crashing. It crashes as soon as CI tries to run, even if it's just at run after install. And running as administrator doesn't help either.

Out of curiosity, does SimPE work for you?

that's very strange. where did you get your copy of Clean Installer? Is it the most updated version? In that respect, what system computer are you running? Specs?
