Game crashed and now lot wont load properly
Myth:
As long as she stays away from the Pleasure and Romance Sims and doesn't try for Dream Dates she should be fine. I've never had a the woohoo want come up on on a family type Sim except when they were on a date or were doing some extreme flirting.
Rascal:
Oh thankyou thankyou! That does sound like my problem. I'll give it a go and report back. Thanks for the custom painting link too. You are truely awsome! :D
Update: Myth you were right - I followed Tagrunner2's method and found 23 repairmen on the lot. I had called the repairman just before the game crashed so maybe that corrupted the portal, and when I went back in the game must have just kept generating more and more repairmen. Apparently I wont be able to use a repairman again on this lot (no big deal) and I'll have to remember to check regularly in case he returns - but I keep my ghosts! :D Thanks so much for your help!
Myth:
Just saw your update and am glad that you found out for sure and will not lose your lot with the work around. The only time I got the slowdown bug was when I had called the repairman as well, so once bitten twice shy. I now tend to stay away from them and have my Sims do all the repairs themselves, although it was funny when the repairman would get electrocuted by my trash compactor and miss that.
I stick to one NPC at a time. Nanny's when there are kids (Nanny's tend to clean if you do not offer them fun distractions) and the Maid once the Nanny is no longer needed.
TwoJeffs has a banning hack that will ban specified NPC or townies from the lot. I do not remember if you have to click on the NPC to ban them or if you can just set it for a general NPC but it's worth a look in his section, especially if it saves you the trouble of bumping the invisible NPCs all of the time. Also CrammyBoy at MS2 has a portal fix for the cars that may repair the portal.
I've not tried either one of those hacks to fix the problem as I abandoned my lot but since they are related fixes I figured they were worth a mention.
Here's TwoJeffs NPC Zapper the way I read it is that you can ban any NPC without having to select the offending Sim. You may want to ask him specifically if he thinks it would be applicable in your case.
