Okay, so a few days ago I went to bed saved my game no big deal nothing different then any other night. Then a few days later I wanted to play and this is what happened (Hopefully the horrible image will give you a better idea) In the past I have had this happen before sort of but I've always quit the game and started it up again and it fixes itself this is not the case.
So, not only are my Sims icons on the left hand side, but I also have 0 simoleons, the Sims themselves are frozen but time, and I can't extend the panel but music is playing and other Sims are able to move. I've tried the reset Sim cheat and nothing happens. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Because I've already had to delete and recreate my town once before, I really don't want to have to do this again!!
