Build/Buy Issues
« on: March 03, 2013, 04:57:01 PM »
So I have been working on a house for about the past 7.5 hours and everything was going fine, I was routinely saving as my game crashed the night before when I had attempted to build the house the first time. Well about twenty or so minutes ago I had went and saved again as I had just finished putting up the wall coverings for the last of my rooms and was ready to start on the furnishings, so I clicked on the buy catalog button and got the little spinning cursor that pops up when the catalogs load. It never went away though, I sat waiting for a good five minutes to see if I was having some lag issues, but nothing ever loaded up so I was forced to do a ctrl+alt+del shutdown on the game.

I've exhausted all the options I could think of in order to get the catalogs to open back up from clearing out my caches to removing the mods folder in order to see if it was CC that was causing the issue with no luck coming from either of them. So I've turned here in hopes that someone in the forums might have an idea of what could be causing this issue or if there is any sort of fix to make things work again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have no definative answers for this, sorry, but, you could try a factory reset (see sticky above)..

I know that several people are having problems with adding a second story.  I'm not sure, as I have never had this problem, but, I get the impression that it is linked to EP's which I don't own.  There is quite a long thread about it - something about crashing when adding a second story, finding, and reading that may help.

It may help if you tell us which EP's you have.  Are you building on a foundation, or with a second or third story?  Have you removed all CC?  Have you recently installed a new EP?  Are you fully updated?  All this information may help others with more knowledge to isolate the problem.

I built the second floor just fine. The issue lay in just trying to go into build or buy. It seems to be the house that is the issue though. I managed to get into edit town mode and take a copy of the house and then placed it in a new game in a different world and got the same issue.

I'm running all current EPs and as I mentioned, I tried the game without the CC stuff I have. I recently purchased and installed Aurora Skies on Friday and hadn't had any problems until then other than for the very occasional crash or freeze up, so it leads me to wonder if that might possibly be the cause.

All I know is this is a really big bummer for me as the house was really shaping up nice if I could have finished making it. =\
