Portal problem
SnootCB:
One of my sims will likely have to move to a new lot due to a portal issue (I think). The issue is that the lot lags excessively- and by that I mean that the game will play for a couple of seconds, then pause for a couple seconds- sort of like the lag you get when adopting a pet for the first time in a new 'hood when it has to spawn the adoptable pets. It is just that one lot. After I figured that out, I checked with boolprop and saw that the game thought a neighbor sim was on the lot, even though the only visible sim was the single playable that lived there. I don't know if the visiting sim was trying to arrive or leave, but they are stuck.
At any rate, the only thing I can think of to do is to move the sim to a new lot. Unfortunately I'm in the middle of making a story/movie about the sim and I need the new lot to be the same as the old one, but I don't have another copy in the lot bin. So my question is, if I package the lot to a file and use Clean Installer to get rid of the trash, will I be able to move the sim into the copied lot without any portal problems? Or will the copied lot still have issues? I don't know if the portals are generated by the game when the lot is placed or if packaged lots include portals already.
All of that is assuming this is a portal problem. If someone else thinks it sounds like another problem, please don't hesitate to say so. Or if anyone can think of an easier/faster fix, I'm open to suggestions.

Try Pescado's Lot Debugger. RTFM before using.
[edit] See how I good I am to you?
Here is the thread. This is the bit that will interest you and possibly fix your lot

VIII. CLEAR OFFWORLD LOITERERS
Indiscriminately removes all sims loitering invisibly off-lot. May cause
undesired side effects if used at the wrong time.
Just make sure you don't use it when walkbys/npc's are scheduled to enter the lot. ;)
SnootCB:
Thank you, I will try that.
Emma:
No problem, just thought though, don't use it while any kids are at school or sims are at work either. Make sure all your sims/pets are on the lot.
SnootCB:
The lot debugger does not give me the option to Clear Offworld Loiterers. However, after letting the game run for about ten minutes, the stuck sim is still "on" the lot, even though she has not actually shown up. I checked her lot and she seems fine otherwise.
