Custom Neighbourhood corrupt help

In january I started having issues with the Sims 2 Legacy crashing for no apparent reason.  It was fine on a Wednesday and then not on Thursday.  There was no new custom content downloaded and I have reviewed that as a  possible issue. It is not. 

When I go to play in a lot/family, four bars will load and then it crashed. no error message. Just stops. Of course, this is the main and only neighbourhood I have been playing in. I spent months building it up. 

I have figured out that it is only an issue in the one custom neighbourhood. I tried the hood checker, it didn't fix anything.

Any suggestions as to how to investigate and fix?

  • I'm guessing you didn't back up the neighborhood before you started playing? 

    The neighborhood loads, but none of the lots? Or is it only lots with families that won't? Do empty lots load? Do any of the family lots at all load?

    Have you ever used Simpe? FFS Lot Debugger? If this were my neighborhood, if I wasn't just replacing it with my backup anyway, I would open it up in Simpe and start looking at the families. It's likely something is corrupted there. Sometimes you can locate the problem and fix it, sometimes you just have to delete the Sims (which comes with a whole host of prep and cleanup work if you want to avoid new problems).
