Ottomas family in Seasons - normal brokenness and more brokenness

<< < (5/23) > >>

Ness:
You'll find that the lot debugger has just been updated.  No idea if it has the terminate pregnancy option, or it's something else.  But I thought I'd give you a heads up in the absence of any town criers.

So what about those of us who allowed the sim to have the twins before we read this thread? I would say that Cabelle is more tech able than I am.  Do I just play until the game crashes, then uninstall and put back my pre-pets backup? 


I'd recommend rolling back to your most recent neighborhood backup now. No sense putting all that work into the neighborhood to just have it explode later on. If you made a backup right before installing Seasons then you've only lost a couple days of work. It's what I would be doing now if I'd played until the twins were born.

Thanks Ness, I'll go give the debugger a try.

Eh, I never play a neighborhood long enough for it go kaplooie. I get bored and reset the neighborhood.  :) And I know from before I discovered the awesome, it usually takes more than 1 thing like this to mess it up, anyway. I did all sorts of VBT's (like moving occupied lots to other neighborhoods!) and the worst that ever happened to my game was an occasional lot going all bonkers and even then, rarely did I lose the family, just the lot. I'm not suggesting everyone ignore Pes, but weigh the risks.  ;) OTOH, I don't get very attached to my Sims -only the lot.  I hate to lose a well-built lot! I usually remember to send the lots into the houses bin and back before moving anyone in, so I have a clean copy. If the neighborhood explodes, it explodes.  :D

Of course, if I'd known that Sharla was going to grow up to inherit her grandmother's cheeks, I'd have killed off the entire family!  ;)

The insimenator that was put out for pets works to abort the pregnancy immediately. I placed the Ottomas on an empty lot and spawned the insimenator and clicked abort pregnancy  the abortion was instantaneous. Mrs.Ottomas retunred to her non pregnant state and her normal everyday outfit. If She hasn't been allowed to give birth will this cure  the borked pregnancy token? as obviously I don't want my neighborhood I have worked hard on to explode.

rhodaloo:
Good answers people, but y'all assume:

1) I know how to reset a neighborhood (have never done that before).  Is it possible to only reset one neighborhood?

2) I have a backup of my Sims2 but I haven't the foggiest idea of the steps to put it back into place.

Feel free to p.m. me the detailed steps.   :-[
