Using Backup Lot files to replace corrupted current ones
nikita:
Oh yeah, I know. I meant taking "dummy" photos so I can replace them with my pictures.
Luckily, I play VERY slowly (I synchronize all the lots, put everyone through Uni and only play on the weekends) so there haven't been any age transitions or major changes, just cosmetic. I'm mostly concerned as to why the lot disappeared so I can avoid this happening again. I was so freaked when my game crashed. I really need to back up more often but it takes up so much space... :(

You'll still have the pics in storytelling and in the album from the first time round. You only need to take new photos if you do something very different second time round - unless you are a lot pickier than me.
You won't actually have a "second time around". Everything you did the first time is largely intact. If your sims got promoted, they're still promoted. If someone died, they're still dead. Anything that happened is still recorded, the only thing that reverts is the current activity and physical state of the lot furniture.
Ancient Sim:
That's what I said! OK, you probably said it better.
I should also have added that I do this when I move Sims into a previously-occupied house. I just hate furnishing the things, so I move them in, then replace the file with the copy I made after the previous family moved out. There's also the added bonus that they get the lot dirt cheap and don't have to pay for the furniture. Nice one.

Ooh, I never thought of that. That's genius! I'll have to remember to do that next time. I really need to start writing down which families are in which # lots.
