Good Morning Everyone! I am having a problem when I'm loading my game..Sims 2 Mansion and Garden game and when it gets to Over-Waxing Banisters it just stops loading...just stays in that spot. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Thank you to anyone that can help me!

I had that issue once fairly recently after installing a CC item and it turned out it was causing the game to crash.I'd check for any new content installed if any has been recently and I'd make sure nothing much is running in the background as well as I have a game booster activated and make sure my computer is in high preformance mode.
Me? Sarcastic? Never.

I will give it a try...I added some custom content yesterday..well, quite a bit..I have files on disks that I saved from years ago..so it's probably something from the disc.
thank you for your reply! I sure do appreciate it!

Adding CC can invalidate the groups.cache file which often results in hanging either the game or BodyShop when starting. Try deleting your groups.cache file. The game will rebuild it as needed.
