I took the Garden Club Lady on vacation, and other disasters
spaceface:
I have taken the garden club lady on holiday with no ill effects.
I have noticed other vacation guests behaving strangely, though. Sometimes they just go home when it gets late, the action queued is "leave" and it cannot be cancelled. They reappear if I exit and re-enter the lot, and leave again when it is 2a.m.

Thanks, Invisigoth. I used the tombstone and got my family working again, albeit with some little strangenesses. They started their lives over again from the top, but they still remember everything that happened up until about 10 sim minutes before they got lost on the shuttle home.
The only problem I have left is that the campground is unplayable since it thinks that there are still sims there. Is there some way to get that lot working again? Do I need to bulldoze it and try to build one of my own? Would anything unfortunate occur if I were to move the lot into the lot bin and then put it back? Would that even do anything? It doesn't really have anyone on it; it just thinks that it does. I was able to enter the lot (in F2 mode) to add the lot debugger, etc, but I could not send a sim there at all. I have, admittedly, not tried every possible way to get someone to that lot yet and I probably will before I do anything drastic. But in the meanwhile, is there a good way (or a cheaty way) to get this lot working again?
And, Witch, no. I did not back up the game before going on vacation.
tngrspacecadet: I am glad to know that whatever happened was not about bringing the garden club lady along. I really thought this was going to turn into a point & laugh festival akin to marrying the drama professor or some-such.

Bummer. I back up my game after every session because I am so crap at fixing things, inevitably making them worse, it is easier to only lose a session's play. Mind you, with the sims sometimes the problems start way back and it's hard to pinpoint.
Anyway, glad it sounds like you're getting the situation under control.

I blatantly stole this idea from Pescado, so don't thank me. First you'd bulldoze the borken lot. Next you should create a junk hood and attach the mountain vacationhood. Rip the new campground lot out and make a copy to transplant into your real vacationhood. Tah dah!
J. M. Pescado:
No, that was never what I suggested. My recommendation involves a full lot file splice, to avoid Lot ID holes or any disruption at all. However, this is a different situation. For THIS situation, you want to hex replace the Lot Descriptor.
