Do you think I could sort of temporarily patch up my neighborhood by extracting copies of the affected sims, and then replacing the glitched ones with clones that have the same relationships and memories?

Can you tell me more about extracting sims? How does it work? Can it let me move sims to another neighborhood with families and relationships intact?

And is there a way to save the sims that keep popping glitches and forgot they were students?

I sent three university students on vacation. Some of them had already been on vacations before with no problem. Then once they got to one of the Takemizu Village lots, the "flaming dragon" hotel, they started glitching all over the place, with object errors constantly having to be reset. I sent them home, which I am now kicking myself for, since it turned out to be a mistake. Now their whole family on the university lot is glitched, and even when I moved them out and onto a different lot, some of the sims are still unplayable, with object errors popping up every second. Two of the sims that got sent on vacation have forgotten that they are students, showing their age as somewhere in the middle of being an adult or teen, even though they used to have only one semester left before graduating. They also have lost their aspiration, by which I mean that the place that used to have the romance sim symbol next to the want slots is now just a blank space. Also, even though they have memories of what they did most recently on the vacation, their 'mementos' panel has been emptied so now it only has the number of achievements filled in that she had when she was a teenager, even though it was almost completed before the glitch happened.

I had the boolprop cheat on at the time, another mistake I am kicking myself for. This whole sim amnesia thing happened to me before when I sent university students on vacation a while ago, and that time I could never fix it, even when I had the glitched sims living outside the university as an adult. I just had to kill them off to make the glitches stop. But this time I really don't want to kill them off because they're part of a long challenge and killing them off would ruin it. Does anyone know how to get glitched sims like this back to normal?

My sim finds bugs but they seem to go nowhere because she's at university and the bug collection isn't on any lot at all. Is there a hack like the FFS debugger to get another one?
