Like I had said:


They say CLEANED, but they are actually empty versions according to their descriptions.

I know this hasn't been posted in for a while, but I am really confused. I wanted to install clean templates (I interpret that as including playables) of all neighborhoods. I did read through this thread and alternate links and of course found most links in the first post. But here is where I am confused, I followed the links given in the first post for Cleaned-Up Templates of Bon Voyage, Freetime, and Apartment Life, but those links are for empty templates (I interpret that has not including playables) not clean ones as far as I can tell.

So where can I find the clean Bon Voyage, Freetime, and Apartment Life templates that still include the playable characters?

For me, it is Squinge's No Autonomous Greet hack causing this. I've removed it from my game, and have no problems greeting strays since. I've even adopted a couple, which I could not have done with that hack installed.

You say you have the hack disabled ScoobyDoo, but have you tried removing from your downloads folder? This hack may or may not be the cause of the glitch for you, but it is worth testing at least. Try setting it aside on your desktop, or somewhere else safe, and play the game. If you can greet strays, it was this hack. If the problem persists, you may have a different hack conflict.

I know this thread hasn't been posted in for quite a while, but I had the same problem and finally decided to track down the source. Not being able to greet the strays anymore is not AL related. I pulled out all my hacks/mods to test and was able to again greet the strays that came by. So obviously it was one of the hacks. I played a hunch and pulled out one of the hacks leaving the others in. I was able to greet the strays no problem. So then I removed all hacks and only put the one I had a hunch about in the downloads. I couldn't greet the strays again. So my instinct was correct and have figured it out that the problem was with the "no autonomous greet" hack by Squinge. I did redownload to make sure I had the correct version installed, but still couldn't greet strays with this hack in. Not sure if he's even aware of it so I'll be posting this at Insim. But if you have the "no autonomous greet" installed in your game, that may be why you couldn't greet strays anymore.
