Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Help / Two sims missing , last seen climbing into airport van

The bad news is I have two missing sims , the good news is I think there are only three or four ways left for me to mess up my game before I finish off that milestone. The scenario: I sent two sims on vacation , upon returning to their home neighborhood I decided to have them purchase a vacation home. I saved , went to Twikki island, saw that there was only one beachlot home available. I moved that one into the lots and houses bin, so I would have a backup of it before any remodeling was done. I placed another copy of that lot into the exact place it was initially. I made a few minor changes, saved , and returned to Pleasantview. I had my sims purchase the beach lot as a vacation home. I checked and saw the deed in the inventory. I had them call to go on vacation, I selected their vacation home as their place to stay , as it was now listed in the options. The shuttle showed up and they departed. Somewhere in there I saw a note on the side stating that one of the sims was now "stack object 1" I believe, not good. Twikki Island loaded, their vacation home loaded, but no sims. It was in the buy/build stage , where one can make changes when no sims are present. Uh oh, they have been abducted! I reloaded Twikki, saw that their was an icon of a spinning bed over their home and attempted to enter it again. Same results. I went back to Pleasantview, tried to select their home there, a message said that they were vacationing at Twikki, blah , blah, did I want to play them there , I said yes. Anyway, same results in Twikki, missing in Pleasantview as well. Put in an all points bulletin for two missing sims, a very attractive young lady and her somewhat shady male companion. I went to another lot in Pleasantview, used Inge's teleporter cat to summon the two missing sims, they showed up. I used moveObjects on to delete them , as I have done in the past , and hoped they would appear by a mailbox in Pleasantview, Twikki or Timbuktu as I really didn't care at that point. No luck, still AWOL. The only idea I have left is to go back to their friendly neighbors, summon them again and have them move into that house. Then , if I can, bulldoze the lot in Pleasantview they resided in and sell their vacation home in Twikki, if the game allows me to do any/all of those things. If I can get away with that, I don't mind moving them out again and starting over. So, what did I do wrong in the first place to create this fiasco, and what should I do in the future to avoid the same mishap(s)? Second question, anything inherently wrong in my plan to "rescue" them , and does anyone have any other ideas if that fails? Additional info, I can't operate a butter knife, much less SimPe, so no hope there. I really appreciate any help, ridicule, better you than me's or suggestions! Thanks in advance!

You can right click on both the launcher (if you use that) and your The Sims 2 folders and scan those for things that shouldn't be there. I have Mcafee , Malwarebytes , Ad-Aware and Spyware blaster on my comp and several if not all of those should show when you right click to give you that option. I found Norton , even when free , to be pretty useless also. There are quite a few decent free virus etc , scanners out there. Just make sure to do a little research/review work before you dl any. Good luck!

Sorry that I can't help with your question, but I have a question for you. Did the sims your brother packaged have existing relationships/ memories of other ( non packaged) sims? If so , you need to either do some work in SimPe to change that , or just avoid installing them completely. Sims that have been moved to a different neighborhood(including, for example, two versions of Pleasantview) ard have memories/relationships that are no longer able to be referenced are one of the surest ways to mess up your game. See this post http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,19966.0.html and many others for examples of that. Good luck!

Simmers' Paradise / Where Can I Find...? / Re: residential items on community lot

As someone with SimPephobia/ or just plain laziness , I have used several ways to get any items on community lots . This , made by cathair 2005 (see post 48) ,http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=204467&c=1&ht=0&page=2&pp=25#startcomments was working through AL and/ or M and G for me... until I started playing in BellaDonna cove then it stopped, may be a hack conflict, not sure. Also this is a very useful tool to just help you find items in residential or community lots http://forum.jfade.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=58 . Another method is just to make sure that any community lots you want residential only items on are owned , even if just by a "dummy" sim with no other purpose , just purchase the item in residential , place it in their inventory and visit the community lot to set it up. As a pose box fanatic that works great as so many of the boxes fail to show in community lot status. Best of luck!

Simmers' Paradise / Where Can I Find...? / Re: TOPS for Top-Heavy Teens?

The largest size tops that Warlokk made for teens is the D. There is a Powerteen shape at ISA ( adult site , over 18, reg. required) , look in Bloom's section. Rising Sun at ISA also made several adult/teen shapes. There are many options at BAS ( Back Alley Sims, adult site, over 18, reg. required) , look for Pierre's section. He has made numerous female shapes with adult and teen counterparts. The Mystical One made complete , or very close too, sets of all Maxis teen clothing for all of Warlokk's sizes , many of those are at MTS. Good luck!
