Lots crash on loading

Now I always keep copies of any houses/lots I really like in the lot bin so I can reproduce them if necessary.
I tend to do that too, unless the house is in a very early stage of construction when the family move in.
LFox:
I once had a lot that suddenly for no reason became slow, on triple speed it took like a minute for a single sim minute to pass. I kicked the family out and put them back in same thing, SAME THING, the house was literally unfurnished. In the end i evicted them again and sent the lot down to hell where it belonged. I still don't know what could have caused such a odd error, but from my experience in very very very rare circumstances the lots themselves just die or glitch up.
ZephyrZodiac:
That can happen when a furious sim gets stuck at a portal, sometimes they aren't yet visible. Although it was supposed to be cleared up in the NL patch, I think it's returned with Seasons, although not so frequently. (NB The nanny problem with portals has definitely made a comeback, although the delete sim schedules in the debugger will fix it.) If you reset the lot with the debugger it sometimes solves the problem.
cwykes:
I have testingcheats on in userstartup.cheats and I wasn't getting an error message. It wouldn't load with or without downloads and I couldn't package the lot and look inside with CI, so I concluded it was probably some sort of corruption - an interrupted save is possble rather than an object problem. I guess there could have been a furious sim on a portal.
So is this the beginnings of a checklist?
1. set boolprop testingcheatsenabled true and try to load the lot.
2. Look at the error messages and fix any problems they reveal.
3. try again to get into the lot with testingcheats on - use reset and delete on any error messages.
4. If you get in, use all/some the fix/memory/nuke options the lotdebugger and save.
If you still can't get in:
5. try and package the lot - if it will package, you might get lucky and find the problem with CI
6. remove all CC and try again. (can't take out kittenkillers?)
7. if it loads without CC, update hacks and hunt for the offending item. in the time-honoured and tedious fashion.
8. move the family out and try again to get into the lot
9. once the family is out, bulldoze the lot.
ZephyrZodiac:
Looks like a good beginning. I can't think of anything else, except, of course, the dreaded mobile phone. I don't know if Seasons fixed this, as with macrotastics and sleepclock installed, my sims are always (well, usually) asleep when I save and exit a lot, and they only get given a mobile for a short time with the college adjuster.
