Constant offworld loiterer bombardment
Zootyzoot:
The most relevant fixes I've found are this one by Crammyboy which is preventative but doesn't fix, and this one by Erzengel which fixes, but mentions carpools not showing up, which doesn't accurately describe my problem - it's the NPCs that don't turn up, not the carpools, which are fine. Are those the ones you were talking about?
Thank you for your flattery regarding know-how, but the above blundering sort of disproves it ;)
ZephyrZodiac:
They are the ones, and it still seems like a carpool problem, and there's one way to find out! Back your game up and try them! Erzengel's comes with a complete set of instructions, which are, I know, rather complicated, but other people here have managed to follow them so I think as long as you take it one step at a time, it should be slow but possible! Depends how much your house means to you, I guess!

Erzengel's post says "carpool, bus, taxi, and service vehicles." NPCs use service vehicles. This doesn't fix just carpools, but the two different types of portals, one for carpools, school busses, taxis, and vehicles for teens to sneak out/go out, and the other for service vehicles such as the maid, gardener, firetruck, etc.
The package contains 4 replacement portals, 2 for each type of portal to Start and Stop. It goes in your collections, and it doesn't hurt your game for them to stay there, you only "buy" them when you need them.

Yes, I realise I was being pretty pedantic. It helps to know that there are two different types of portals, though - I think one of them's broken and the other isn't.
I'll stop fannying around and install them both. NOW. Thank you all for your help and patience.

It worked! The car did drive along the far pavement a little, but that's nothing moving the portal around a bit won't fix. And it was the delivery guy I have lined up to marry one of my teen daughters, so they can get to know each other! Thank you all again for your wonderful help.
