Welcome to TechSpot Forums

The repairman keeps showing up -- even when I didn’t call him -- not fixing anything, then leaving! Sometimes, he won’t even leave! What is his problem?

If a wall-mounted light fixture burns out, the repairman keeps trying to fix it. If there’s an object (table, bookshelf, etc.) directly under it, he can’t reach it to fix the bulb. Go to Buy mode and move the furniture out of his way. Or sell the burned-out light and buy a new one. This problem is corrected in a recent patch. Just go to the Start menu, under Program Files, under Maxis, under The Sims, and choose Check for patches.

Maybe updating the game could help? Or, move the phone so that butler can't call

Does that mean other games work fine? There are too many things that can cause lockups, but quite often the reason is wrong (or obsolete) hardware drivers.
