Unknown's feelings towards Unknown

<< < (3/3)

uaintjak:
Yes. the Mr. Potato Head unknowns.  I've deleted all the "Unknown's feelings towards Unknown" and my game hasn't exploded (yet).  Going to keep playing and see what happens.

baratron:
I'm under the impression that getting a Neighbourhood full of Mr Potato Head Unknowns was caused by a bug in an older version of SimPE (0.42, iirc) that allowed you to go into the Sim Browser BEFORE neighbourhood_whatever.package had finished loading. I emailed Quaxi about it and now, with 0.48, I get maybe one or two Mr Potato Head Unknowns in the whole Neighbourhood. The rest of the dead/ghost/unlinked characters appear with a dark blue background, but their correct names & pictures.

uaintjak:
Well, except that there aren't any ghosts or unlinked characters in my neighborhood, and I'm using the latest version of SimPE, but when the new neighborhood was created and my first sims added, there were a ton of unknowns (not in the Sim Description, but only in the Relationships).  At any rate, having deleted all of the Unknown relationships, nothing bad seems to have happened (yet).

Zeljka:
Is it possible that Inge's shrub has maintained the relationships that the previous sims in the homes had?
I use the shrub too, but plan it out in advance, move the entire family outside so they won't be using anything when I pull them out in the neighbourhood screen.

You're just talking about deleting relationships right? I delete them all the time (not just unknowns, but anyone they didn't shouldn't actually know, such as someone who popped in for 6 minutes while they were babies) I delete the corresponding memories as well (if there are any) and I haven't noticed any problems so far. (I've even deleted parental, sibling and family relations)

Marvin Kosh:
I've noticed that the initial stock memories which Sims get when they are first instantiated (for Adults, this is 'Went to College', 'Met Mystery Sim', 'Had Very First Kiss with Mystery Sim', and 'Kissed Mystery Sim For the First Time') seem to get passed around a lot sine I installed Nightlife.  Or maybe this happened anyway and I didn't notice it before.  I dunno if they cause jagged-lines memories, but where possible I have either removed the memories outright to halt the spread, or specified the actual subject to which they should refer (so that a want for First Kiss doesn't roll up again, for example) and I'm just going to take a look and see if it makes any difference.  They're only test Sims, so if they spontaneously catch fire well, I know not to do that again.

Thanks for the guide (above) though :)
