Just clicked on check for updates and loader mysteriously created all new folders on a totally different drive ( C: ) and downloaded every simulation to these new folders instead of checking and updating my long time installation drive ( F: ). Has anyone else experienced this. I have had to uninstall everything manually. Last edited: 26/10/2017 at 20:24 by Grid56 Reason: unwanted emoticons Log in to reply |

If you want them to go to a specific place you need to rearrange the order.

What are your folder options settings? You should be able to drag the files from where they ended up to where you wanted them to be without having to uninstall anything. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Grid56 |

If you want them to go to a specific place you need to rearrange the order.I put all of my SimSig stuff into 2 bespoke locations rather than the default folders. On at least one occasion the two bespoke locations have been wiped from the list without any input or action on my part or any system files update. I didn't get any "New" flash on the main loader window when I fired up but I couldn't see any sims when I clicked to start a new game. Took me a few moments of panic before I worked out what had happened. Manually restored the bespoke locations and everything went back to normal. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Grid56 |

Sorry I cant check, as I said I had to delete everything in order to make sure no stray thing was left behind. I am a bit paranoid about malware etc. I vaguely recall seeing some list somewhere in the loader with a few items in it which started with csid or something similar but as these were similar looking to registry type variables I left them alone. My plan is to just start from scratch provided there were no warnings on this site. As it seems there is nothing sinister happening, just one of those things, I feel more confident. Log in to reply |
