delivery guys gets stuck

[raccoon]

If I order pizza or groceries, the delivery guys get stuck in a sitting/driving position partly inside a wall. No error message appears.
I have only a base game and some hacks, mostly downloaded here. Yesterday I loaded a lot of hair and clothes from different places, but they can't cause this, can't they? What should I do?

[Mirelly]

I think you'll need to be more specific about the hacks you have ...

[raccoon]

I know I should be, but I've been stupid and not organized all my downloads or anything so I could find all hacks easily, but I try:
I have these at least:
Abductions - Higher Odds.package
hugginghack.package
LizzLoves no-privacy.package
no-jealousy-at-all-2.package
No Friends Needed for Careers.package
No Shoving from Look Through.package
no-parent-greet.package
nocheeringhack.package
novelprogress.package
noxylophonepee.package
Toddler Potty Fixes.package
Triplets & Quads.package
MQ_Work_Bring_Friend_Dialog.package

I had the doorbell quieter and I removed it, but it didn't help.

doorbell_quieter just stops the doorbell from being heard in all rooms throughout the house rather than just the room/hallway where the front door is, so you can put that back if you want to.
Are there any other vehicles on the lot, maids, gardeners, repairmen, nannies etc? I've noticed the lot can only seem to handle 2-3 service vehicles at any one time and the delivery person will wait until one leaves before they will ring your doorbell.

You might also try the FFS lot debugger ... don't have a link off hand but it's in the hack directory somewhere. The FFS debugger does all sort of awesome things to remove/unblock stuck and jammed situations.

[raccoon]

Ok, the problem is kinda solved. The debugger didn't help, so I moved the family out and to another house, they needed more space anyway. Now NPCs work properly, so the problem was something in the lot.

Did you move the mailbox? The mailbox controls the car pool/npc portals, so messing with it's location too much can fubar the lot. I'd just bulldoze it.

I know I should be, but I've been stupid and not organized all my downloads or anything so I could find all hacks easily, but I try:

You need to use Sims2Pack Clean Installer. Most if not all hacks that change game code are highlighted in red. Select all red items and put them in a HACKS folder within your Downloads folder.

Problem solved.

Pink highlighted items are duplicate files, and unnecessary (can even potentially cause problems in your game), and add to the size of your Downloads folder, which slows game load time.

See also the tutorials at modthesims2.com on how to use binary test loads to isolate problem files, and get Sims2Hack Conflict Detector to track hacks that are fighting with each other.

I've had the same exact issue in the past, with basegame only; the only solution was move out and bulldoze the lot.

I've solved with the fix by Crammiboy for portal deletion. After that fix, that glitch occurred no more.

The delivery man was a nice ornament, BTW.

Don't ask me who made it because I have so many mods and cc it isn't funny..  And before I installed pets, I was stupid enough to not customize my d/l folder... anywho, you can get a mod that'll make the delivery person drop stuff off right in front of your door.  Quite handy.
