Ok, I'm trying to play my babies but I always open it now through bin so I don't have to mess with the launcher. So I opened it through BIN, got to the main menu, put in my cheat hit the family I wanted, it loaded all the way than just closed and went to desktop. I sighed and tried it again, same result. I got frustrated and tried again same result. I figured before I get too upset I'd come here and see if I could get some help! After I post this I'm going to go for the fourth time but choose a different family to try.
EDIT: Ok, this is weird. Another family loaded and will let me play, so I immediately went to my documents to see if the other family is messed up, but neither one of them say bad! This is plain weird and I had so many things I was going to do with my other one today, but I guess I will just play the one it's letting me!
Edited again. This is strange. I just got done playing with the one it let me so I decided to go to main menu and try again. It let me play them this time! Very peculiar!
