Blank want slots making dating impossible
Mrs_MQuve:
Okay... let me think:
Usually, if I accidentally download anything that isn't NL-compatible, it will make my game crash at loading, so I know that I have to go seek it out and remove it. I do have the HCDU installed and use it frequently - I ran a scan within the past couple of days, and no issues came up.
I never moved characters from one hood to another. I had intended to move two to my custom hood, but it was going to be too complicated for me, so I deleted them (caffeinated.joy: I did move them to the family bin first, I don't know how else to delete sims without hacks) and then just recreated the characters in CAS in the custom hood.
Never put an occupied lot in the Lots bin... never used "Delete all characters"... hmm, what else... oh, and it seems to happen on all community lots, but just on dates.
I had some cleaning up to do in my hacks folder anyway, so I decided to run the game after that and see if anything changed. I had the same couple go on a date, and they were still rolling blank wants, but I was able to hover over hers and read what they were. I could do this with his for a bit, then they went totally blank. Somehow, I still managed to take him home, Woohoo and score a dream date, though! :cool:

Try removing any hacks that have to do with wants and lifetime wants. I used the LTW hack for a short time but it wasn't playing nicely with something in my Downloads folder even though I wasn't getting any conflicts reported, so it could well be what is causing problems for you. If that doesn't help, just remove all your hacks and keep adding them back, a couple at a time or using the 50/50 method, to identify the problem one.
As rwills said, it's not a matter of playing without hacks but of finding what is compatible. The advice people are usually given when wanting to use hacks that don't want to work with Deluxe or Double Deluxe is to buy an EP newer than NL or to get an SP that uses a different game engine than NL (list here) so that you can just upgrade your hacks to a different game engine and get around compatibility issues that way.

Arwentroi, even deleting sims from the sim bin is bad. The other sims in the neighborhood still have memories of the deleted sims, and because those sims had been deleted, all sorts of havoc may appear. In other words, it would only be a matter of time before the neighborhood is no longer playable.
Rather than deleting unwanted sims, use a mod to kill them off, use a mod to make them townies, or just don't play them anymore.
Meshes not compatible with your game can cause it to crash on loading the game. Mods not compatible sit quietly until you try to use them, then will cause "jump bugs" or if you play with testingcheatsenabled, object errors.

Yep, as Ancient said, deleting sims from the bin is bad, as it removes the sim, but not the associated memories. It can cause problems with your game. If I have a sim in my game I want to remove, I simply kill them off. It removes the sim without corrupting your neighborhood.
