Will it really be two weeks for FireMonkey's support?!?
What's really ticking me off now is that the Saved by the Spell quest starts tomorrow and I can't get into my stupid game. 
) took away that hair option for Adults that aren't Seniors. I've already been burned before by them when they took away some of the clothing and men's head options and I don't want it to happen again. They're are the 3rd and 4th sims I made and the first ones I saved w/ platinum orbs so they're pretty special to me.
Half the time I do this I go ahead and give it a try just on the off chance it will work but it never does. So I'm stuck waiting on FM support. *SIGH*Before all this started had you been saving to the cloud? If so, you would only lose anything you did after your last save when you reinstalled the game. I have done it a few times for various reasons. You load the game, have to get through the first few tutorial steps, and then you can use the cloud to load your most recent game data. Even if your game still crashes, the cloud save will be there, waiting on you.bloodredroses01 wrote:<snip> I've tried all the tips on the page that SIMazing suggested with the major exception of doing a reinstall because I'm afraid that by doing that I will lose the grey hair that I have on two of my Adult Sims because EA/FM in their "infinite wisdom" (I.e. sheer stupidity
Is there a special reason, why you start a new game instead of downloading your cloudsave right after loading the game?SIMazing wrote:[...]

I need to guiltily respond that it's been a while since my last reinstall. I have a distinct memory of once or twice having to go through the tutorial before being given access to the cloud (which really freaked me out, worried that I would lose my game). It's possible that I've reinstalled the game since then and just didn't remember how much it's changed, since it's now a lot more like a reset.ErinPW wrote:Is there a special reason, why you start a new game instead of downloading your cloudsave right after loading the game?SIMazing wrote:[...]

The last time I can positively remember saving to the cloud was after Part 3 of the Candy Monster quest. I hate the time it takes to save to the cloud and tend to get kinda sloppy about doing it after awhile. I'm pretty certain I forgot to save after completing the quest.SIMazing wrote:Before all this started had you been saving to the cloud?

A reinstall would mean I'd lose the quest costumes and the final costume pack ( no way am I gonna pay $9.99 for the costume pack!). Starting and continuing a new game would wipe out everything you have earned before. If you tap "Download save data", you'll get your saved game including the grey hair.bloodredroses01 wrote:

But it's my grey-haired Adults I'm most nervous about losing. Wouldn't a reinstall wipe them out because they're no longer available? I know I'm being incredibly silly about them but there it is.
BTW thanks for all help.
