This was happening BEFORE I got BV, but BV is my latest expansion so I'm posting this question here.

Whenever I would create a new neighborhood after playing with one for awhile, then go back to the original, the sims in the first neighborhood would have been deleted.

Now I'm afraid to create a new neighborhood but I desperately want to, because I play with Photoshop using TS2, and I don't want those sims in the same neighborhood as my "normal" sims. I also haven't been back to the sims I was playing with before the current ones because they may be deleted.

Does anyone...
1. Know when the deletion of the old Sims was taking place? (I have an idea because loading the old neighborhood takes extra long)
2. Have this problem also?
3. Know how to fix it?
4. Know if it is safe for me to create a new neighborhood/go to a previously created one?

I had 9000+ downloads when the problem was occurring, but now I am down to just under 6000 (but not for long).

Thanks for your help!!

PS: i posted this in BV Help also but I thought this one might be better bc I am on a Mac.

The Inteenimater actually crashed my sister's game beyond repair, and we had a hell of a time reinstalling. It did no harm to mine though. Download at your own risk, and DO NOT use files reuploaded by someone else...meaning, only download it from the original site.

grrrrrrr...so i can't. i did find a pretty good mesh for board shorts and recolor it though. i still like the adult one better...

Choose Walk To Lot from the pie menu on the active sim.

My game does something weird where the sims can't check into the main neighborhood hotel, and i end up having to force quit.

Don't delete him, but I've been in a predicament where I've had to kill a messed up sim before. Turns out there wasn't really a problem. You should just get him to change clothes, and if that doesn't work, kill him. He could be dangerous.
Type boolProp testingcheatsenabled true. Then, shift click on him, and choose Spawn -> Rodney's Death Creator on the pie menu. Choose your favorite death. I like Satellite

I build houses on beach lots just fine. Beach lots have to touch the road and water.

The first time I sent my sims on a major vacation quest to find all 3 secret lots, all they had to do was...
Twikkii Island & 3 Lakes: go on all tours.
Takemizu Village: dig for treasure until finding the map.
Now, going on tours doesn't work for map finding anymore and i even found the Far East map at the beach...weird. Anyone know how I can ever get my sims on a secret lot again?

I would like to convert a board shorts mesh from adult to teen since there's about nothing good out there for teens in that area, but i have no idea how. Is anyone familiar with that?

where? every link seems to be broken...

OMG this is like EXACTLY what I've been looking for!!!!! I can't thank you enough!!!!!!!!! All I need now is for someone to make it where it works on teens...

uhhh...the link to the adult mesh doesn't work.
