Any way to salvage Sims from a corrupted town?
nikkiforest:
My save has spontaneously corrupted, shown by the Crash Log Analyzer after a CTD. Is there any way to salvage the Sims from that town and move them to a fresh, corruption-free neighborhood without dooming it as well? Because I created all of the Sim families in my town one by one, and it'd suck to have to abandon them all. Is there any way to single out corrupted Sims? I was thinking that ErrorTrap might be a good indicator of corruption (i.e. if a sim keeps throwing errors, I should just nuke the household before moving my famblies) but I am probably wrong.
Skadi:
Can you load it without it crashing? You can always save the sims to CAS if you can get into their houses.
I think Twallan has a mod [Porter?] that helps you move families into a new world with their relationships attached.
There are a few other things you can try, but it would depend how FUBAR that save has become.
nikkiforest:
It depends. Sometimes the save will crash within about 5 seconds of loading it, other times it won't crash at all. Sometimes I'll experience weird glitches after loading, other times I can play it normally. It varies.
Naiad:
The mod is Porter, yes, and it worked very well for me, but my save wasn't completely FUBAR yet when I used it. The good news, however, is that so far, my new save seems fine. I recommend a healthy dose of Awesome (mainly fixall) after using Porter though, just to be sure.
Sigmund:
If you can hit pause fast enough, sometimes that will buy you time to export everybody, or at least it did for me. I had a wholly FUBAR'd game that crashed almost immediately whenever I tried to unpause it, but was perfectly willing to sit on my computer and mock me while paused. So I saved each Sim to CAS, loaded up a new world, and recreated all the relationships, career advancements, etc. with Nraas's Master Controller. I tried the Porter mod (which preserves the relationships), but it didn't work in my case--just made the new world crash. It probably just depends on what's screwed up.
