Crash on resized lots at 7PM -- any ideas?
Inge:
My backdoor42 7pm crash seemed to be audio rather than graphics errors, according to the logs. What happens soundwise at 7pm? Crickets start chirping? Wolves start howling? I suppose the person who said they had a hack to make it get dark at 6pm only has their lighting affected, not the time the crickets start?

Silly fat grey Pescado :P You have completely missed the point. The reason shrinking was asked for in the first place was to make row houses. Where you can have walls right up to the edges of the lots. If you shrank the lot first, you would still have those two last squares that would not allow walls to be built!
But the walls can't be put up against the edges of the lot for a REASON! If you did this, things which overhang the edges of the walls, like the ROOF, would hang over the bounds of the lot! This is why fences are permitted on the edges of lots, and walls are not: One cannot put a roof on a fence. Perhaps all the crashing lots have roofs, which are thus illegally extended off the bounds of the lot?
Inge:
My shrunk lot has all those things, and it hasn't crashed anyone's game so far. And if it was what you said they would crash all the time those things were still true, not just the first day at 7pm.

I thought of that last night and built a little house with concrete flooring for a roof, rather than an ordinary roof.
It crashed.
I've been using it for testing since then, but that's still in progress.
I also made a pair of semis where on the adjoining side the roof is straight up/down. That worked ok 3 times out of 4.

Lol, my tests in BV all work like a charm, and I had only 1 exception for the base game in which I had a crash for long-played lot. updated:
just got a lot made with LE 1277 to crash . by clicking to the build mode and night mode after moving in a family.
The lot has only walls and a roof, except the hidden objects.
So, this shows that there's at least a problem when a shrunken lot has walls and roof.
Note I"m not saying other objects won't cause a problem even if they existed.
