Preparing for post-NL expansion packs
ZephyrZodiac:
Good for you - I can't see if it's a problem with OFB itself that you'll be the only one with the problem. According to JM, it's possible to "persuade" SimPE to work on a Mac, so maybe someone soon will be releasing a Mac version, provided of course that Quaxi and his team are in agreement. Next time you install a new EP , move your game folders out and let the game generate a new set, then play vanilla in the new set until your happy with how the game plays for you, then you can copy back your original game. If you want to keep the new version too, and it's another version of PV or something like that, then there are programs around which will rename all your neighbourhood files for you, then you can keep them both.

Turns out one of my students was bugged. I kept testing her on other lots, but never went back to the original dorm. They had no trouble coming back from their final. I got her through to junior year with the lot debugger, but had my suspicions. I graduated her with the semester tester and she crashed to desktop when I tried to move her back to the main 'hood. I forsee an unfortunate demise for Ms. Alison. Tragic, really. ;) David will be so devastated.
Now if I can only decide which kind of misfortune will befall her!
Oh, and I did let the game generate a new set of files when I installed OFB. I'm so sick of the premade neighborhoods, I went ahead and made a clean new neighborhood to do my testing in. I wonder how Alison ended up so corrupted?
ZephyrZodiac:
I would say she has a host of invisible tokens that need to be got rid of. The latest version of the debugger has a "Clear Trash" option, which will get rid of a lot of these, but in your version you should have, I think, the "nuke attraction markers" option plus the option to clean up the memories. I think it quite possible that, since you can't use SimPE to check your sims memories, that she is going to be the first of many. Now, once you have Seasons, you should be able to clean up all these tokens with the debugger, so why not just hold off playing this particular hood until then, and play the new hood until then. You could also use the teleporterplus from Simlogical to move her to a populated lot, use the move in option on the shrub so she becomes selectable, and use the debugger to clean up her memories. You can then either leave her where she is or move her out into her own lot. (This way, the family you move her in with temporarily will not gain financially from her temporary residence.)
Yimmit:
This IS the new hood. I'll try clearing all that junk before I kill her and just wait and see if the rest of them get corrupted too. Yeah, I have clear trash, clear gossip and nuke attraction markers. If she's going to be a huge problem, I'd rather just eliminate her.
Maybe I'll test the old hood. I think I had a sim who was just about to go to college and one who was graduating soon.
ZephyrZodiac:
Didn't realise the clear trash option had been added to earlier versions of the debugger - useful to know. But you could still wait until her friend graduates, move him into the neighbourhood, then move her in with the teleporter plus - you never know, she may be fine then.
I remember having similar problems with a long ago Beau Broke, when he came back from Uni I had awful problems getting him back to the bin in PV. When I checked him in SimPE, he had memories of having met himself, he had in fact become best friends with himself, and his file was double the size it should have been. Once I was able to clean up the memories etc., he was playable again, though his file never got any smaller....so I'm pretty sure he was in it twice!
