Crashing Community Lot - CORRECTION: More to the problem than I thought

Faux party walls?
The Sims 2 doesn't allow people to create two lots which share a common wall (party walls). This means that it's impossible to make row houses, town houses, terrace houses, ... whatever you call them ..., inside the game.
There was a test version of the LotExpander which allowed people to create lots with walls on the edge of the lot, which makes true party walls possible. Unfortunately, the game really didn't like these lots and would intermittently crash. To protect people from in-game corruption, the test version was removed.
LotAdjuster version 1.1 allows you to create a house with walls which touch the edge of the lot, as long as those walls are perpendicular to the edge of the lot. So, two adjacent lots can't actually share a wall, but they can appear to share a wall. The walls of the two lots seem to touch each other in the neighborhood view, and in the lot view in later EPs. However, these are not true party walls, since the outer tile along the edge of the lot cannot be enclosed by walls. Thus, "faux" or false party walls.
To see what I'm talking about, here's an example:
Each of these houses is actually a separate lot; you can tell by the individual mailboxes.
When the original poster mentioned that the crashes were occurring with shrunken lots, I just wanted to make sure that they weren't using the test version of the LotExpander, which is known to cause corruption, and that there wasn't an unknown crashing issue with the shrinking feature in the LotAdjuster.

I had used empty shrunken lots that were provided by MaryLou. I didn't build anything on there that went to the edge of the lot, or at least not in this neighbouhood.
As for the original issue, or continuation of my problem with my fliipping game >:(...
My body shop is currently being VERY picky as to clothes I put in the downloads folder. I've already discovered it hates an outfit from Adele, all of the underwear I downloaded from Adele and pants from Aikea. It will open, load part way and then disappear as if I never tried to open it in the first plac, leaving those error files in my Sims 2 folder, at like 40 at a time. I haven't tried to open up my game yet. I haven't even started on objects or hacks.
