Lots that simply won't load...

I'm wondering if anyone else is having a problem like this. I've got two downtown lots that absolutely refuse to load. The Hub and The Lulu Lounge. I'm not sure what the problem is. It will just sit at the loading screen and do nothing. I first noticed it when I tried to go to them on a date, and ended up having to minimize the game and killing it with Task Manager. I even try to go into the lots in build mode and the same thing happens.
To those who probably think I'm not waiting long enough, I tried to go into one in build mode last night and went to take a shower while it was loading (and I take long showers). And when I got back it was STILL loading.
So, lot corruption? Bad install? I don't know. Any ideas?
I had this exact problem with the Goth House after installing Nightlife.
I fixed the problem by moving the family out and back in again. To me this seemed to indicate that post-NL install, something was corrupted about the objects in the house although I have no direct proof of this. Also, that lot wasn't a commercial one obviously.
Have you tried checking your game error logs to see if there is an object conflict coming up?
Check the "House of Fallen Trees" thread here on forums for more info.
Briefly, I also had the HSFT lot crashing on me, and these were caused by downloaded objects conflicting with Maxis made ones although this problem didn't seem to exist prior to installing Nighlife. The resolution was to check the log file and removing the conflicting objects from the Downloads folder. I'd be curious to know if this is/isn't a symptom of the same problem.

Same problem here both with The Hub, LuLu lounge & the large victorian residential lot in Downtown with the dead trees and vampire basement.
Grr.

It's definitely a problem with the pool lights, I've attached the error log in case anyone can make sense of it. It only happens when I put my hacks folder in, I just have to figure out which one it is.

Wasn't there some issue with Pescado's Community Lights on hack? You could try taking that one out.

I also had a problem with a house crashing on me everytime I tried to go in. I tried looking into the log folder, but there were dozens of logs in my log folder, and I wasn't sure which log I should be looking in. I told the comp. to arrange the logs by date modified, but even then, there were a whole bunch of logs that were modified at the same time.
So...which log should I be looking in?
