Hypnotic memory implantation

In my neighborhood, the conversational topic of choice is burned food, closely followed by woohoos.
In the Sims' world, burned food is more interesting than any other topic of discussion, including promotions, weddings, or deaths. Also, I once had a mother talk to her daughter about last night's WooHoo with the father. And they seemed to both find it amusing, even though I was gagging, trying to decide whether to laugh or throw up.
veilchen:
Hm, mine do talk about death, and it worries me a little. They get a bubble with jaggedy lines, then follows a tombstone, the dead sim's image, and concludes with them giggling about it. Now, the last three items don't bother me, but the jaggedy lines do a little. I have all the critical fixes from JM and TJ, so I am hoping it is not a little bug waiting to grow up into a big, bad bug-monster.
The other topics off high interest for the sims is burned food, someone who has been burglarized, and woohoo (idiotic word, that is).

Ah, you seem to have the jaggedy line "Corrupt Death Memory" problem. You need nocorruptdeath. You also need to do a search and destroy memory for every single "invisible" death memory with no event owner. It's a somewhat lengthy process that spreads virally and gets worse the longer you ignore it, so you're going to have to bite the bullet and do your search-and-destroy now, or just burn the neighborhood.
veilchen:
I have the corrupt death mod JM, I faithfully get all your fixes. I guess I downloaded it too late then, no?
As for going memory hunting, I have no clue on how to do that, where is saramk when I need her? I rather like the neighboorhood, its a facsimilie of my village, you know for homesickness events.
If I end up having to destroy it, if I clone all the sims in SimPe and then put all the empty houses in the lot-bin, can I then plunk them into a new neighborhood without dooming it from the outset? (As you can see, I heed all your cautions, I don't even turn my computer off anymore, as I used to do)

The "lazy man's memory hunting" is to simply systematically destroy every invisible "death" memory in SimPE by going though each of your sims in your neighborhood in the SimPE memory editor sequentially. Wipe them all out. This will also wipe out the valid "gossip" memories, but these will simply be regenerated when your sims gossip again. Mass-destruction like this also means you are far less likely to miss one.

Yes, if search-and-destroy proves too onerous for you, you may do this safely. Don't package sims. Ever.
