sims 2 clock & people frozen.. whats wrong with my game? HELP!!?!!?
Tippyski Asked: sims 2 clock & people frozen.. whats wrong with my game? HELP!!?!!?
this is for PC (Windows XP) version of sims 2:
i have the sims 2 deluxe (includes nightlife, body shop & store edition) with alot of expansions (seasons, pets, apartment life, university, open for business) & stuff packs (ikea home, teen style, h&m fashion, kitchen & bath interior design). also i have some custom content which i downloaded from the sims 2 website -mostly sims (clothes, make-up, hairstyles) a few houses & some furniture- all created by individual people. i use cheat codes too but never had a problem with them. ever since i downloaded the custom content my game has been loading very slow or not at all, but only when i try to go to lots that were already there before. i have no problem loading new lots or creating people, nor do i have an issue with build or buy mode. usually i have to restart the game then it will load fine every time after that. my current problem is a family i just created. i built the house a while back & put it in the lots/houses bin. i had to restart the game after i placed the lot in my neighborhood & again after i moved my family in. now everything loads at normal speed, but when i try to play the family my clock is stuck at 8:00am & the sims wont move (they just stand beside the mailbox even when i give them a command). i tried restarting the game but it didnt fix it. i have no custom content in the house & i didnt use any cheat codes. i also disabled all custom content. i dont have this problem with any other family/lot. what could be causing this error? is there something i overlooked? PLEASE HELP!!

I think you need to communicate with him that the kids aren't getting to see him enough. Have the kids wake him up, make him breakfast, have some family time and then tell him to get ready for work. Turn the TV off when you are fixing to go to bed and tell him to come to bed with you so you guys can spend some time together. He sounds lazy to me…stop letting him be lazy.
Let him know that's an awesome bachelor's schedule; however, he's a family man now.He needs to try and be home by dinner.
People aren't fixer-uppers.Did he not have this job/business when you agreed to marry and reproduce with him?If he did, you knew what you were getting into.
You can't make him get on a schedule so, just enjoy your kids.Rather than be a nagging pain, try to be something he wants to be involved in.If he doesn't want to, you can't make him.Nagging him will only reinforce that he doesn't want to be around you.
Try making great family dinners that he doesn't want to miss.
He did work hard to owning a business. And sleeping late and going to work when ever he feels like it is his selfish way of sitting on his throne, if you will.
You need to remind him that if this goes on until your children grow up, with out both parents spending time with the children, their health is at stake. Mentally and also physically. With out their dad they'll eventually walk all over you and go out with friends to do bad things. And what are you going to do about it? You've gotta work at home!And when that happens parents are upset and wonder why its happening and it is because they haven't spent enough time with their kids!
Your children are very young and now is a vital time where both parents should be caring for them so.that they can't have a healthy relationship with both mother and father and for the sake of their education and well-being.
Just have a serious talk with your husband about this and hit him with this reality. Be smart about it, you could even read up on the effects of children and one parent not being around..
I hope I helped, good luck
If this is a change in his normal sleeping pattern look at what has changed in his life and when the change in his sleeping pattern took place (what was the trigger?)
Change in sleeping patterns can be a sign of depression – look at his work – does he feel fulfilled/happy with his job?
Other suggestions – exercise – is he using up energy throughout the day?
Eating habits – is he snacking on sweet/sugar/ tea/coffee late at night?
I often stay up way too late – it is a habit that is not easy to break – it is nice to have the 'house to myself' – quiet LOL – I know that this started because I was unsettled in other areas of my life …
I hope this helps give you some clues :)
I can see why you would be mad.
But on the other hand, he's an adult and he knows exactly what he's doing.
If you're really that upset about it, talk to him, communicate with him. Let him know how you feel.
"I can't get him on a normal schedule"
You are not his mother. This is probably the root of the problem. You are his wife, his equal – not his superior.
Talk to him like an adult. Explain the problems you have and how taxing it is on you. Tell him how you would LOVE some help. You having more energy will probably make it worth his while;). Make it a positive conversation. No nagging or telling him what must be done. Many men seem to do things better if you suggest things and they think it is 'their' idea. Some men do respond to outright telling them what to do – but if yours did I don't imagine you would have posted this.
I would pretend I was a single parent.I would not involve him in any decisions, any outings, any events, etc.Just carry on as though he wasn't there.Which he really isn't.
