tigeranneHi, this is TigerAnne here, and this is not a joke. I've murdered Arenanueva!
What happened was that my trusty old brain, which I can't actually trust further than I can throw it, made me do something stupid. You can't actually throw your brain very far, so that shows you how much mine can't be trusted! The main Scheiler lot, known in the story as The Village, had problems. The save file was way too huge, and it crashed a lot. So I was going to move them out, split the household, and move them into different new houses. Friday and the remaining Villagers would get a freshly-extracted copy of the Village, cleaned of Sim references, to live in.
But that's not what my BRAIN made me do! It made me put the whole colony of them in the Lots and Houses bin. Now all of their relationships with everyone outside of that household are severed. When they meet them again, the game will treat them as someone new. The hood will be corrupted, because the game treats the same people as two different Sims with the exact same data. I know I can technically fix all of this in SimPE, but the chance I mess something up even further is NOT ZERO. I literally made a whole household disappear once, in the first version of the hood, just because I tried to set Phil as Maikana and Zarinda's father. I believe that's when that hood got borked.
The worst part is that right before I tried to move the Scheilers out, my brain started screaming at me to DO A BACK-UP before I did it, or else something..! My reaction was to brush it off as "magical thinking," which I suffered heavily from as a teen and young adult, and still have to be aware of now. I must always try not to listen to it, because it'll want to come back. If I had actually listened, Arenanueva would be safe though. Ooof.
So now I really don't know what to do with the sitch. I'll try to finish the generation before I remake the hood. PQ's family isn't as directly affected, and that's where the last two Heirs live. They only need four more days before they can grow up. After that, I guess I can say that everyone just moves to Monty's new city, or something. It was going to be a Downtown to Arenanueva, but I think I'll make it a main hood instead. Maybe I can attach a remade Arenanueva to that as the Downtown, and have it be like a Village of Shadows or something? x)
Still, this is crap. I was hoping to do something else while Sam and MK'la were in charge of the Uglacy than messing with the Scheilers! SIGH! But we can't always get what we want!
