Unoccupied House disappears with Story Progression?
chaos:
Being the paranoid person that I am, every time I go to Edit Town in order to save whatever lot I've been working on, I also save a copy of the unfinished lot to the Library (just in case). When I'm completely finished with the house, and all is satisfactory to me, I delete the earlier builds. This method has saved me a lot of work after game crashes that interrupted my building process.
Edited, because I knew I had a point in there somewhere. My point is that, perhaps it's a good idea to start saving lots, especially the finished ones, to the Library before moving in a family.
Sita:
What exactly IS the Library? I haven't used it because it comes up with a warning about losing stuff each time.
I saved out the house though, and I think that came up with the same warning? ???
AFAIK the game didn't lose anything...
ingeli:
The Library is the repository of houses, households and single sims visible on the down right side in EditTown mode. Its the houses/sims that came premade with the game, and the ones you decide to save. The warning when you save says you lose on-going wants/tasks for the sims, but I did it many many times and havent seen any problems with it.
A hint, if you are building something really special, is to have a Building Save, which you play only when building. I have one, which I emptied of sims and just have a couple with certain skills/tasks, like a farmer sim with high gardening/green thumb to plant stuff in the gardens I build, and such. He was also sent on a mission to collect all sorts of stuff for my science museum, which I successfully built and filled with rocks, butterflies and gemstones - then changed to community and now use in my hood. Worked like a charm. It's great that is is so easy to change between lot types :)
Sita:
Thanks, will try the Library. :D
Science Museum sounds good too.
Indiasong:
Houses disappear. There was a house next door to my family, first the inhabitants disappeared, moved or something, and one day there was just the mailbox left I was playing with no mods at the time, and didn't change house or edit town.
