Title: I boogered a lot Post by: cwieberdink on 2006 August 31, 00:23:17 I'm not sure what happened. It's a community lot. I saved with the owner (a playable) on the lot. Now when I try and load it, it looks like it's loading and it goes throught the loading screen, then I hear the ka-ching of the cash register but the loading screen never goes away and the lot won't load.
Is there anything I can do? There were probably 4 employees on the lot as well. It was a level 7 business. It is the only lot I can not enter, to my knowledge.

Testing cheats is in my startup file. No errors. No other thoughts from anyone?

Might this related?
Title: Re: I boogered a lot Post by: jrd on 2006 August 31, 14:06:42 Can you enter the lot in construction mode? The Lot Crowbar may help here.
Title: Re: I boogered a lot Post by: cwieberdink on 2006 August 31, 14:50:44 Okay, an update. I tried pulling the restaurantbarfix. No go. So I pulled the entire d/l folder. I can now enter the lot, but although the owner is supposedly there (according to clicking her house), she is nowhere on the lot, her car is not there and live mode is grayed out. I will be replacing just the lot debugger and see if I can crowbar the lot.
Question: if I crowbar it, do I save? And if I save without my cc in, when I replace the d/l folder and go back in later, will my bland objects all be replaced with my custom ones?

The crowbar is not the debugger btw, unless that changed recently.

Cwieberdink has OFB, so that couldn't be the cause. Title: Re: I boogered a lot Post by: cwieberdink on 2006 August 31, 15:29:31 The crowbar link JM put in a post a while back is not valid anymore. I was able to enter the lot, tell the sim (floating head, wonky face, lol) to go home. She went home, her lot loaded and I saved and exited. Everything looks weird without my cc, but at least I got in the lot, and got back out again.
I'm reloading my cc and I'm gonna try getting in again. I realized that right before I saved and exited I had made one of the employees a manager. i don't know if that had anything at all to do with it or not. I'm still not sure what happened.

Be VERY CAREFUL with it. //Edit: added the collection, so you can actually USE IT ;) [attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: I boogered a lot Post by: Rose Outlaw on 2006 December 30, 02:03:30 Do I get this right?
The crowbar has to be placed *on* the corrupted lot? Pity, I was already hoping it could fix my little problem with the Summerdream lot that crashes the game... |
