Major Tour guide spamming problem, Maxis/EA Patch to fix this is now out!

MissDoh, my Krispy Creme, I will watch to see if any other add ons appear.

I think if you remove your character's folder you would definitely lose your Simmies. I don't think the game will regenerate a new folder. If it does, your lot may be unplayable because the Simmies associated with it would be missing.

EDIT: I just used Clean Installer to check my Characters folder. Pre-patch, consistent 732 characters (and with A-R hack) where I had a combo 13 tour guides, charlatans, local chefs, fire dancers and ninjas I know have 27 included in the total of 733. I am perplexed.

:rofl: Gotta love this.

Didn't the patch shrunk useless extra tour guides character files?  I think it is part of the patch features.  I would have to re-read Jase patch post again but I think it is normal.

Though what you are saying is that you have more of those then before out of the same character quantity? *faints*

Maybe you should wait for an updated SimPe to be sure.

My beloved Kreme Filled Krispy, I just played and still have 733 after visiting another vacation lot. So no new spawns. I may have counted wrong before the patch. Maybe the dreaded 27 were there and kept in check by Pesky's mod. It's just odd that I went from 732 to 733. Weird. And, no, I don't think the patch shrank the useless NPCs ('cause they are still there) and I believe it was supposed to do just that.

Also, I thought the fast speed when entering a community lot would be neutralized. It hasn't.

Maybe it's the old "well, we have patched but it will probably not effect those lots that are older." Poohbah!

I had stopped having lags on vacation. How about now I have at least one per played lot. OY VEY MARIA!

The good news is that I only had one sandcastle built after a three day vacation (this after removing our beloved Empress Kathy's cure).
