Remember, any problem, issue, or error in your game belongs in the Help section. Discussion is for "how do I do this?" type questions, not "my game is busted!"
Click on the Help dropdown at the top of the page, then choose Sims 2, and see the FAQs there. Make sure that you actually do what the FAQs say, not just read them, if they're relevant to your issue! If you still have problems after working through the FAQs, please post a new thread in the Help forum. You'll find a link on the main page of the Help FAQ index (Help > Sims 2 > Main page).
To avoid posting in the wrong section, please read the Discussion Guidelines:

Good luck!
