Moving problems

3. To make a house "safe", what you need to do is go into it in Build Mode, maybe change some small thing, and SAVE it - so it "updates" with whatever the new file format is.
4. You MUST do this before moving any sims into the house.
Does this help? I hope it's coherent :-\.
Thank you so much for this post!
I actually had this problem yesterday. My sim couple Chloe Singles and Abijeet Cho (SP? lol) had earned enough money to move out and buy the bigger house I had built (under University). I moved them in and aaah!! The lot never loaded! So I had the "Loading... The Singles Family" for like half an hour with nothing happening. I almost freaked out. So I closed the game with ctrl+alt+del and launch it again. This time the house loaded successfully but my sims were stuck, they were in front of the house, frozen, their bars were as well. I then deleted them with moveobjects cheat, quit the lot and returned. They were moving again (Thank God) but all their wants slot were and are still blank... :(
Anyway, now I know what I'll have to do next time before moving a family in one of my pre-NL lots... I have so many of them... *sigh*
Thanks again for your help!

And if they'd only waited a few more weeks before releasing the NL patch, this problem would almost certainly have been reported to them, and they could have fixed it!

Yeah, but they wouldn't have. There would be two months of denying the problem exists, two months of saying they are working on it and these things take time and two months of lecturing us about not asking for patches since they have already released one and it's not their policy to release patches every few days for tiny problems that only a minority of people are having. Or am I being a little too cynical?
ZephyrZodiac:
Maybe.....but the problem is, they took six months to release the Uni patch, which was fine and worked well, but the NL patch was out only a few weeks after the release of NL, so how on earth could it have been properly researched? (It's also very little bigger than the Uni patch, yet it inludes the whole of that, so they didn't really correct much, did they?)
Ancient Sim:
I've had this problem, too. Usually it does right itself eventually. My main moving problem though is that all my former YA's (even if they're almost elders) will get a new memory saying they've graduated (which is passed on to all their family members) with a degree much lower than the one they actually got. This has always happened when they've moved for the first time after graduating, but not on subsequent moves. Drives me mad because I have to come straight out of the game to remove the memories from everybody before they get passed round the neighbourhood.
