FFS "Batbox" Lot Debugger v2.0: NUCLEAR WAR EDITION
cwykes:
The portal bug Crammyboy found was fixed in the NL/Uni patch. Unfortunately the patch didn't fix lots that were already bugged. Crammyboy has a portal detector - that will warn you if a portal is deleted. DON't put his fix in a patched game.
You can detect and get rid of maids, gardeners and other sims stuck on the lot with hacked items. I know Merola's mind control mirror and Inge's teleporter shrub plus. If you have one of them put it on a lot that's having problems and see what it tells you.
Inge's shrub is at www.simlogical.com - navigate to Sims 2.... downloads... teleporters.... shrub plus....
If you have a deleted portal, the easiest thing is to move the family out and delete the lot. You can fix portals, but I'm told it's fiddly. Now that Crammyboy is here, you mind find this all on MATY, but I know these two MTS2 links. One is to his detector and original prevention tool, the other is how to fix the problem once it has happened

Sorry, didn't make it as clear as I should, that was the thing I meant.

The Nightlife patch was SUPPOSED to fix the portal problem. But the first lot I entered after installing the patch developed the bug during that session of play. So I have put Crammyboy's fix back in.
I have fixed more than a dozen lots afflicted with the slowdown bug by using Erzengal's portal fix and have had no further problems with any of those lots. I won't move my families simply because of slowdown. I would rather do without delivery or service people than have to lose everything I have built with that family and start over.

Crammyboy's portal monitor is compatible with the NL patch. Also, although one bug with portals being deleted was fixed in the NL patch, another one related to juggling was discovered by Crammyboy. You can get the fix as well as the portal monitor here:

I have not had any problems with Erzengel's portal replacement fixes. You just have to know how to use them. I am so grateful for this because I no longer have to move sims and bulldoze lots because the carpool is messed up.

hedgekat - I pushed this "supposed to be fixed" point with Crammyboy cos I didn't believe it without proof either! the posts are on MTS. He said very clearly to take out his fix before you patch as it is fixed. I did get agreement on that thread that what maxis did, didn't fix problems that were already there. I stopped before I annoyed everyone with my persistence, but it still seems to me that there might easily be another stupid bit of coding that deletes a portal. We've all blamed everything on the one Crammyboy id'd for us - cancelling read-me. But maybe it also happens when you cancel some other action.
I know Crammyboy is going to want to hear from you about your experience. Please pick up that link I gave and post there - or somewhere here in his bit of the board.
