Lot Sync Timer: All BlueSoups Suck Edition
jsalemi:
Best i can figure, it sounds like your old neighborhood packages got corrupted somehow. You can't just swap an old one into a new install of an existing hood -- the neighborhood.package stores most of the info about the hood and its residents, but you'd still be missing all the lots and character files.
Do you have an older backup of your hoods? If so, you might try restoring it and see if everything is ok.

But I never installed the hack in Pleasantview (or Strangetown) only in my custom hood, so yes I guess it wasn't the hack, but I can't think of anything else since I hadn't put in anything else long before those and the families in my custom hood were messed up instantly after getting this hack. So I'm lost... still...
I'm confused by this -- if you properly place a hack, mod, or any custom content in the Downloads folder, it shows up in all hoods currently present in your game. There's no way to install custom content so it only shows up in one hood. So I have to ask -- where exactly did you put the mod and hack files?
Clarina:
Sorry I'm being so unclear. Of course the hacks were sort of installed in them but what I meant was just that I never entered those two neighborhood while the hack was in game I only entered them once I had uninstalled the hack from my customhood and then removed from downloads. Strangetown seemed ok at first people were okay and houses there but Pleasantview wouldn't actually load up at all, it crashed my game. When I reentered the game Pleasantview loaded but then was without houses and without lots and I then entered Strangetown and that was empty too. But My custom Sim Islands is fine. Except for the sims.
Another thought crossed my mind though. I installed Norton Antivirus yesterday as well. Before hacks, before entering the neighborhoods. Yes, I've read it's not the best or most appraised, but it was the only thing they could give me at the Mac store. And yes, I probably don't even need it but now I have it.
I did notice I couldn't swap the package files, but I got my two customhoods working. the problem was that even if I put in the character folder my characters weren't there, just the originals that come with fresh install. But lots did show up when I put the old lots folder in the fresh install. Anyway, my Mac game is only three months old, before that I played on my PC. So no backups available because I never did any backups since I haven't installed new EPs since I got the Mac game.
Thaks for your help Jsalemi. I'd move this somewhere else if I knew where to go...

If you go to the main forum index, near the top is a forum called "the Podium", inside is a sub-forum called "Oops I Broke It". One of those two would be a good place to try, since it's not this hack after all. Good luck.

Despite the fact that something deep inside me told me not to touch the shiny, I installed this. I then noticed that aging was off. I can manually advance aging with the timer, but it doesn't go over at 6:00. This is a problem for many reasons, the least being pets. They aren't aging either, and I can't manually advance them.
So. I tried uninstalling from the neighborhood and then removing the hack from my game. Still stuck. I put it back in, still stuck. What can I do, short of restarting the neighborhood again?
FYI, I ran the conflict scanner and no conflicts came up. I also installed Business Runs You and Grow Up Townies at the same time, but not only can I not see how those two would effect age progression, but they were removed and aging still was frozen.
And, to state the obvious...no, I don't play with aging off and never have. Just in case, I entered the aging on cheat at the 'hood screen (shouldn't have any effect there) and in each and every lot.
J. M. Pescado:
Lots that were originally built in a University will not have a correctly functioning aging controller, and sims will not age correctly on those lots. Check that your lot was not originally a Uni lot.
