Freezes during game load at 93%

dstorkamp · 12-16-2007, 01:39 PM

After simming about 14 years, the game crashed during a simulation. Now it will no longer load my game, freezing at 93%. I tried defragging and running chkdsk, to no avail. It will still load other saved games.

Unfortunately I hadn't backed up for a while. Is there any hope of getting this game to load again?

Thanks.

Try this: rename your "faces.dat" file to "faces.old". See if that allows you to get back into your league file.

Try turning off your anti-virus software.

Thanks for the feedback! Renaming the "faces.dat" file worked. Thanks for getting me up and running again!
