Threee Lakes Hotel ate my sims?

<< < (8/10) > >>

gali:
I have another solution, in which you don't change the number of the vacation locals, and it's done without any hack. I sent it to Pescado, but didn't get any respond.

1) Enter a lot of the sim's  best friend.
 
2) Invite one sim which is on vacation, increase relations until you can propose move in, and move him to the friend's lot.

3) Tell him to find own place - he will move to the family bin.

4) Do it for each sim (there is not an option to move more than one), until all the sims are in the family bin.

5) Build a new house (the previous may be corrupted), and move one of the sims there (husband or wife). Add to him the mate from the family bin.
Sell vacation house and buldoze it, or buldoze the hotel/the com lot. If you can't buldoze the hotel, see paragraph 6. Buldoze the previous house.

6) Open a new hood, add the 3 vacation hoods, package the original buldozed hotel/house to a file.
 
7) Enter Packaged lots, change the name of the hotel, and install the hotel/house to replace the buldozed hotel/house.

8. Enter the vacation hood, and paste the hotel

Problem solved.

Gali, you're forgetting one MAJOR aspect of the test - you didn't do it under the same conditions, with stuck sims like this person had. stuck sims implies there is a bigger underlying issue. so yeah, doing it that way MAY have worked for you, but it's the equivalent of me claiming that I can cure cancer by trimming my fingernails because I don't have any cancer my body right now.

She never does it under the same conditions. See her thread about sim color preference.


The point is, the problem is easily solved with a 100% safe and incredibly useful hack. Going through any of Gali's methodologies takes time and effort and is absolutely unnecessary. The first methodology, which she attempted to prove was safe (and failed), resulted in approximately 58 character files more than in the beginning in a relatively short time of play. 58 files of fluff instead of zero errant bits. That is not acceptable.

I may try goign to my self sism lot and see if it forces his wife home because if it does theres a chance that the host family (the Vlades) might be foreced home also.

Incidentally, deleting a vacation hood will most likely make dbhash out of your neighborhood save. While it may not produce any outright errors, your internal files are going to look like someone like your intestines after you eat a grenade. Suffice it to say that grenade-eating is best left to professional grenade-eaters.


Gali, for the last time, ANY of your kludgy methods are going to result in hidden (and not so hidden) damage.

What part of that do you not understand?

Gah!

Empires, you've been told what to do in this thread. Reading comprehension FTW.

*coughs* uh, come again? ooookay, methinks Gali is a phaenoh-type that invests a weeee bit much in their sims....
