Attempting to upload one lot crashes the game
ZephyrZodiac:
I think I'd suggested that before the terrain-paint prpblem was mentioned. Now, I've got several houses using terrain paints - my own houses, I think - and I've not had any problems, but these are all post Uni houses.
ElviraGoth:
I don't have any custom terrains and I had a lot that wouldn't load and would crash my game. Not sure, but I think it may have been because one of the sims on the lot was using a cell phone when I last saved it.
Things you learn when you make a mistake by assuming the game should be fairly bug-free.
ZephyrZodiac:
Oh yes, saving while using cellphones is a no-no! I did it once, and had to evict my family and build them a new house, but the lot had got bugged anyway, so it was time to move them on. I actually wonder, thinking about it, whether that is the problems with downloaded house, not the terrain paints, as I've got houses where I've used them and they work just fine. But if a downloaded house had sims still living in it, you'd have to be sure to delete the red phone line in the clean-installer, I think, as it's definitely seen as a hack.

I was having the same problem with several lots. I had some families with newly adult children that I wanted to move to a new neighborhood. I moved these sims out into bare lots. No house, to terrain paints, nothing. Then I tried both moving them to the lot-house bin and also packaging them. Some lots would perform normally, others would crash the game. The only clue I got to what was wrong was a couple of notices about not being able to package the custom clothes, etc. But they weren't things the sims on the lot were wearing. It was things their relatives and friends in the rest of the neighborhood were wearing. So it seems that it was related to the problem that Pescado is always warning us about. I guess if you want to upload sims, you need clone them with sim surgery, recreate the family in CAS and package them without any memories. That is what worked for me.
ZephyrZodiac:
Sometimes when you send a sim downtown to buy clothes there are clothes checked that they haven't bought, no-one in their family has bought, but maybe one of their friends or acquaintances has bought! The game doesn't always remember things correctly. (And this used to happen in a hack-free game with no downloads!)
