Packaging Problem
Engram:
If you want to move the hood and it's residents to a new user account, why don't you move the hood wholesale rather than attempting it lot by lot?
What you are doing (packaging occupied lots) is a very bad idea. It will kill your hood. When you package a pre-played occupied lot, you sever all relationships those sims had with sims living in the hood. But they retain their memories. This is not a "bonus" as you called it but a curse on your new hood. What will happen is that memories of these sims that don't exist in the new hood will spread throughout the hood via gossip and attach themselves to all sorts of sims. Then, one day, a baby will be born with the same character file number as one of these phantom sims from the previous hood. The toddler will most likely have adult wants - this is a corrupt toddler, and I don't mean in a Dr Evil way. And the hood corruption will keep spreading until all the sims develop the jump bug which you will not be able to get rid of by removing your CC - it will be all the sims themselves that will be corrupt.
If you want to move the hood then move the whole N00x folder. If you want to just move houses and sims and not the whole hood, extract the sims, get Inge's Stay Put Things Shrub from Simlogical and move sims out of their houses while leaving their furniture behind, and package the empty lots.

I need to move the houses lot by lot Engram, to move the cc needed for them packaged with the houses. But thats a good idea about the empty lots. If I put a copy hood into my current game then package the lots empty that may work. I can put the copy hood back into my main account if it all goes pear shaped in the new user site. Part of what I am trying to do is remove some cc issue that is messing with my current game and not letting my sims shop and causing havoc with my transport at times. It would be so easy just to start again from scratch if I did not have about 30 lots vital to a long running story on the adult site that I really don't have the time or inclination to rebuild.

Split plan...
Pack the houses in the old game/hood.
Install them with Clean Installer into the new 'hood.
Open the Lot Bin to "Occupied Lots" and delete them.
Now zip the entire Neighborhoods folder and move it as one piece.
