Bork, bork, bork!

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too. Not a good sign. Not good at all.

I'm going to be out of town for the week, but I think I'll be starting on the great rebuild project when I get back. Maybe I'll take this as an opportunity to start things over from scratch and choose only to extract the lots and things I can't do without. Everything else can just go back to square one. On a positive note, this could be an opportunity to play through the lots in a more precise Prosperity Challenge style, and I can be more exact about aging everyone at (more or less) the same rate. To play through it all again will take a looong time, but it might be fun. I could do makeovers. I could post on it.

What do you think? Play through or artificially age everyone? I'm going to have to add in the children artificially, either way. Those poor (or maybe lucky?) sims will have no recollection of giving birth! :P

What sort of things would you include on a checklist for rebuilding a hood? Are you talking about the order of things happening with the characters or more technical stuff?

That's good advice, but the main issue is there are families I haven't played at all, and I'd like to get them all up to the same place. I suppose I could artificially age the families I've played with already, and then play the others. I'll see how I fee when I actually get ready to do it.

Yeah, a checklist for order mostly, but also to list out everything you need to get. When I did my rebuild, I messed up a couple times and added sims too early.

I recommend making a list of all the sims you need to extract as well as a list of all the sims you'll already have in the new hood. I'm assuming you'll use a new copy of strangetown or the megahood. It's also not a bad idea to make a list of all the lots you want to bring over. There is a trick for getting q clean version with deco but it requires placing it in a dummy hood first to ensure it's clean.

I would set everything up without adding sims, then make a back-up. This way if anything goes wrong adding sims, you don't have to start from scratch. Then also make a back-up right before you start playing.

As far as the other families you want to play, it is a good opportunity to work them in and catch them up, but will you miss the sims you have been playing? I think whichever will make you most excited about playing is the one to go for. :)
