Now I've done it. I have to do a complete reload of everything in the
whole owrld simwise. I was trying to find a dratted file called
Controller - Curtain something or other that controls curtains opening
and closing. Looked in y curtain file to see if there was anything
somewhat new along those lines but...no. SOOOO...decided to go folol
around in SIMPE (FOOL being the optimal word here...) Nice little tab
that asked if I wanted to delete the neighborhood cache...wht the heck,
I thought, why not give it a try? Welllldon't ever do that. Now the game
won't load and even though there's a reload button nothing will reload.
I get an error message instead. I do wish there was a complete manual
that comes with SIMPE that explains every little detail about what is
what....rather than the stumble around method of trying and
going...OOPS...that wasn't it....

tra la! I didn't have to bork! Reloaded my backup that I had made and it
restored whatever...but still have the error of Controller Curtain
pulldiown which is odd on that lot becasue there are no curtains becasue
there are no windows! She is living in a viney post with roof
thing...frownfrownfrown...it says it is item 371 in my downloaded
objects but does that mean counting whole file folders or undoing the
whole thing like it's recursive or what? How do I find out which item is
371? sigh....I hate sorting these things out...I managed to get the
whole folder down to 2G's (was close to 4) and am dreading having to do
the divide and conquer thing if I know what it is...it's just finding
the dratted thing...

Where did you get the curtains from? The only autocurtains I use are by
Inge at Simlogical and they are self-contained objects (no controller).
Anyway, if you can remember where, you might be able to go off the
filenames.

Best wishes

If you get the error message again for the same thing, pick delete.
