Stuck on business lot, and cheat file

Business Lot
After an eternity and a half of not playing, I'm starting a new hood. Actually, it only has two playable families. I put them on a business lot and they were going to go home after a day's work, but they kept shooing customers off of the lot, even though all the customers were gone. After a few sim hours passed, I broke the game. I stupidly put move objects on and deleted them, thinking they would be there when I loaded the lot. They weren't, and naturally I can't load the home lot either. So, I installed many hacks (all from the director's cut) hoping that would reset the family. That didn't help either the home or business lot. I loaded the other family, thinking I could invite them to move in (since the move and bulldoze tools did not work), and that family was indeed reset from the hacks. However, when invited over, the family that's borked did show up, only they refused to move in since they weren't saved on their home lot.
I did try the magic wand, I waved the thing over every inch of the lot. Nothin'.
I would delete the hood, since it only has two families, but the families made it all the way through University, to the top of their careers, and the business was level 9. I just don't want to do that again if I don't have to.
Any ideas?
Cheat File
I can't seem to get my new cheat file to work, any clues as to why not? It's attatched. I keep it in the config folder. It's been so long since I made one, I can't figure out why it won't work. I'm sure the reason is as equally idiotic as deleting sims on a business lot.
gynarchy:
Have you tried "Retrieve Missing Sim" on the debugger while visiting the borked business lot? Try removing the "bugJarTimeDecay " section of your cheat file and see if it works. That option has always caused anything after it to not work in the cheat file.
sara_dippity:
I thought that was only when it wasn't in alias form? I had that problem with it too (way back when,) only I was able to use an alias okay. I'll try removing it though.
And I can't try anything on the debugger, because I have no sims. It's build/buy mode only on the business lot, and the home lot (an appartment) doesn't load.
ETA - removing the bugjar alias did nothing. Still broken.

Force them to move in with something like the simlogical teleporter cat. Do not take no for an answer. You'll likely have to write off the business and the house, but your sims will still have their diplomas and their jobs. If you must try to save the business, at least make a backup after you've retrieved the sims so you have something to fall back on.
J. M. Pescado:
Did you try using the Magic Wand? The Magic Wand should, in theory, conjure the missing sim when you wave it about.
