The Sims 2 D.D. - U.C.P. Issue! - Josh88p - 20-01-2009 04:51 AM

Hey guys...please help me out here.

I have had a nights worth of issues to go through before I was even able to get through the game's load screen.

I have hiked through all those issues and now there's only ONE teeny tiny thing that is hindering me.

I have The Double Deluxe version of the game that includes Nightlife and Celebration stuff.

Problem: When I move a new created sim family into a house, The UCP (Universal Control Panel) is missing.

This is the blue section at the bottom of the screen with all the buttons...meters, etc.

It is not there, the sims interact and I can direct them by mouse but this problem comes along with not being able to use any hotkeys...in fact the keyboard is totally non-responsive with the new family...not even the arrow keys work to move the screen.

Why is this happening and HOW can I fix it, please help if you know because I've spent a good 7 hours on my computer just trying to get the game to start and when I think I'm about to finally play the game, something like this happens...it is extremely saddening Sad Wacko

Do you have the latest patch?

Is your computer up to date (drivers)?

Does your computer meet the minimum requirements?

Yes Yes and Yes

This problem is beyond those general problems.

Its simply a problem within the game because this only occurs when I move a NEW sim into a NEW house.

If I combine my created sim with another family (monty, capp, goth, etc.) It works perfectly.

Try to uninstall and then reinstall. Perhaps a corrupted or missing file.

I'm sorry, but all I am trying to do is give you some basic tips that might fix the problem.

Did you try a different keyboard?

Thanks, because that is real mature and shows your maturity level.

Not sure you will be wanted around here either.

That last comment there was really unnecessary, in my opinion, I'd prefer if you didn't come back to this forum. Thanks.
