My apologies if a thread similar to this has already been posted. I have, in fact, done searches and I have found a few threads similar to this but those threads seem to be outdated, so I thought I'd make a new thread.

Anyway. I have the current version right now, that being 0.72. I've been trying to load the Object Workshop. I have been loading the docked version, not the windowed. For the first few tries, it would freeze at 19% and the program would become unresponsive.

I would wait patiently for the first couple of times but then I decided, maybe I needed to restart. So I did. Doing the same process again, I almost thought restarting actually worked. It loaded all the way until 96% and then the green loading bar was full. However.

It emptied and it read, "0% Please Wait."

And so I did. I waited for about 30 minutes and I thought that this couldn't be right so I tried again. Same thing. Except this time, I didn't wait for 30 minutes.

Do I really have to wait longer? I mean, I'd actually be willing to wait if I knew it would actually load fully. But I'm wondering, why is it that it's taking THAT long? I could easily load objects and packages in the Wizards.

Also, this installation isn't my first ever installation of SimPE. I have installed it in the past, then uninstalled it. Then recently reinstalled it. Could this be the cause of the problem? (Side note: I've had the same problem with my previous installation, but with the Neighborhood browser.)

(hoping this will actually post this time...)

 

OW should not be taking that long. Or rather, it should not be getting to 96%, then dropping back to 0.

 

First, try getting the .73 version from the home page. It needs to be extracted to its own folder, but it is stable, and is actually the latest version.

 

Also make sure that you don't have it scanning the downloads folder. One bad download in there could be causing trouble.  

 

And if you have re-installed SimPE before, did you manually remove the old folder? It might have left a bad setting behind.
