I've recently had a problem in my neighborhood: sims suddenly couldn't get married. Engagement worked, but if I tried to marry them either with the arc or directly, they jumped out of the interaction (although sometimes, one of them would actually get the memory of getting married).
Now, this is the neighborhood I've been playing since October. Back then, I was stupid enough to merge another neighborhood into it, but when the information about neighborhood corruption came to light, I spent two afternoons with SimPE, cleaning it up. It's been mostly working fine (I wasn't completely thorough, but I usually caught any problems quickly).
This time, I had only been playing with 3 interrelated legacy families for the last 2 months, so I just deleted all their memories (and the Townies/NPCs/Dormies memories, just in case), which cleaned up that problem, but I found something in SimPE that looks fishy to me:
There are sims (even ones that I haven't played in *ages*, and ones that are dead) that have 'Toddler Skills' or 'Misc Skills' tokens that are owned by someone else (usually the first character in the neighborhood, occasionally a different one, but it's always one of the very first characters). When I first saw them, I just deleted them, but yesterday I went through the memories again because I was explaining to someone how SimPE works, and noticed that characters who either had normal tokens before, or had none, now have such tokens that belong to someone else.
I've also had 2 instances where someone had a memory token that was a computer (er. I didn't write it down, but it was something like "[invisible] Token - Moneywell Computer").
Now, I can keep cleaning these out, but I'm of course worried that there might be some kind of larger problem lurking the in the background. Any ideas?
(I'd like to keep my neighborhood, and I'm willing to spend time working on it in SimPE. I can don't mind wiping a sim's memories - I hardly ever look at them anyway).
