Apartment Life hates me

[strangetomato]

So I was presented with the Apartment Life EP to cheer me up in my gloomy sickly state, and I decided to just jump in and install it (a sure sign of how much I just don't give a fuck right now), but it's not working for me. The game crashes during the loading screen, right around where it says "preparing pops and locks" or some such thing. I tried two different no-cd cracks, and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it again, and nothing changes. Why must I fail so badly?

If you have any idea what I'm doing wrong, please point out my stupidity. Maybe my brain is just too cloudy for this right now. I did remove the hacks, though. I got that much right.

*sigh*

Aw, sorry to hear that. I don't have any technical advice. I downloaded it and the first time I tried to start it, it froze up on me, but I restarted my computer and tried again and it worked. I've played it a couple of times now. My sim gave birth to a baby in her neighbor's apartment, then managed to lock the baby in that apartment over night because while she ran off to play fetch with a dog, the neighbors went to bed and wouldn't answer the door when my sim went to retrieve it. I was surprised the social worker didn't step in. That was one cranky, smelly, hungry baby when she was finally able to scoop it off the neighbor's kitchen floor the next morning! I hope you can get it working.

I just restarted the computer, so we'll see if that helps.

*snicker*

All the sims need now is a way to lock babies in hot cars and it would be that much more realistic. "Oh, I FORGOT about him/her, please don't take the baby away!"
