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

I've been seeing those for quite a while now. They don't seem to be that much of an issue on their own (according to others in this thread), but as part of the whole, I don't think my hoods have a leg to stand on. The disappearing lots (and characters) are enough to convince me to start over. I think I'm going to do a reinstall of the whole game, just to be sure I've wiped everything completely clean.

Do you have any experience with upgrading lots that you've already redecorated? The Smith lot, for example, has been modified in my game and I'd hate to lose that work. Am I going to have to package it, move the family out, delete the house, and place the new one? (And dig the Summerdream house out of the water table AGAIN?! Ugh.) That's what's going to take the most time. Then again, redecorating from scratch would take even longer.

I'm going to try to keep it as fun as possible, for sure. ^_^ I'm planning to work this into the story, to illustrate the point of the Cordial sisters when they talk about the multiple realities of sim life.

Don't worry about your lots, there is a way to save them :)

Before you reinstall your lots, be sure to make a backup of your Downloads folders and also package these empty lots (because if you try to move out the families, the lot will also get empty as well)

Wow! I was considering that method to extract the lots, but I had no idea I could replace them that way, too! Thanks for pointing that out to me. *beams* Maybe this won't be so hard, afterall.
