Is there still a portal bug?
cwykes:
You can leave the monitor in your game. That way you'll know instantly if a lot has lost a portal due to some other crap bit of coding or an in game accident with move objects. What you don't need, unless you are playing base game only or base + Uni unpatched or base + NL unpatched, are Crammyboy's fixes for the bugged coding. The "read to me" and juggling bugs have been fixed.

True, my sims juggle constantly whenever they are the slightest bit bored (visitors mainly as always getting in the way!) and it never causes any problems, just annoyance to any sim who wants his caffeine fix! But the monitor is still in my hacks folder, as I like to play safe and have the option to repair a damaged portal rather than scrap the lot. When I build lots that are basically complete, I do usually move them into the lot bin and then out again so I have a copy of the lot in its original state, but sometimes my sims start out with a bathroom demarked with those things that came with OFB, and sleep, eat etc under the stars until they can afford walls and roofs (weather off, of course....) and the lot is built as they can afford it, so of course, unless I package it, sims and all, I have no way of backing it up when it gets to the point I'd like to - and moving sims out means all your furnishings are lost - although I have noticed that since Seasons we seem to be back to the base game play where moving the last sim out of a household by inviting them to move into another means they don't sell all the household goods, and the house is left as is and doesn't reset. (But maybe something else is causing this....but it makes Marry a Rich Sim a bit hard to fulfil if all their cash is tied up in the house....I'm rambling again....
But, back to the point, portal monitor is good, never be without it!
cwykes:
exactly - the portal monitor might save you a world of grief.
Best way I've found to back up an occupied lot is to package the occupied lot to a file, open it with CI and save the lot only to a new file name. Then if it breaks in game, I can move the sims out, bulldoze the lot, install the back up and move them back in. That way you keep the furniture etc as it was at the time of the back up.
ZephyrZodiac:
Sometimes, though, the lot in use has lost value so much the poor simmies need to take out a mortgage to move back in! ;D
cwykes:
that's what money cheats like familyfunds are for. ;D Don't know about you ZZ, but my British sense of fair play says it isn't cheating to put them back where they were when the game screwed them over
