The Case of the Tree Breaks and the Missing Portals

Thought you would like to know. The portals are being deleted from badly written code in the book globals.

Awesome, CBoy! Hopefully, this is the one and only portal bandit.
ZephyrZodiac:
I like the idea of installing this as a preventative measure, but there being another file for people who already have the problem! In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, just stop it from happening in the first place!
pet_peeve:
If you're seeing debug breakpoints, it's because you have the testing cheat turned on. You should play with that turned off most of the time, so that such problems as yours mainfest themselves as jump bugs or missing objects, as god intended. Some interactions are so full of breaks as to be completely unusable when testing cheats is turned on.
Disappearing portals have been an annoyance since there was just the Sims, with no expansion packs. The solution given on that MTS2 thread is the usual one - put the portals back with hacked catalog items.
ZephyrZodiac:
Well I for one never have testing cheats turned on, I've never been able to get it to work anyway!
miramis:
Just to add my two cents, reinstalling only puts the problem off for an undetermined period of time. In my case the npc/slowdown bug which gives a treebreak error when testingcheats is enabled, this can happen at any time. There was one time when it occurred in a 2nd gen family only the day after a fresh installation - reinstalling does nothing to fix the problem, it will happen when it wants to no matter how fresh the installation. Thanks to the topic starter for creating this thread, the link that crammerboy provided is the help I need to get rid of this frustrating bug hopefully.
By installing that fix, not only will it prevent the slowdown bug happening, but in doing so will keep all those extra npc's generated by it from filling the neighbourhood character file - which as we know isn't a good thing.
Perhaps now I can actually enjoy playing again without fear of losing yet another lot to this stupid bug.
