We can salvage the Sims and restore most of the information to them (skills, personality, etc). It all boils down to how much do you want to save of each Sim that you want to save. And if you feel comfortable using SimPE. Cinebar is right that you may just want to completely restart even knowing you'll be restarting with the Brokes completely.
Am thinking about doing exactly this, starting over with new towns completely, but
I am extremely interested in salvaging my Sims.I have used SimPE before for other things, I don't know how to do a lot with it, but I self taught myself & am fairly comfortable with
it.
Given that, this is what I'd like to know if you know the answer given your expertise.
If I removed everything from the Sims homes, put it in their inventories, packaged their homes to file,
and put the Sims in the Sim bin, would I be able to place them in a newly generated town, or are they corrupt ? Here is what I am looking at:
10 Sims I want to save from Pleasantville (already did some work in trying to salvage them, doing what I asked about above, but I'm not sure
it was the right thing to do & before I move on to the other towns, I want to see what you have to say.)
2 /3 I want to save from Belladonna Cove
1 Sim I want to save from Riverblossoms Hills
And 2 Sims I want to save from a custom town I made named Bilnee Shores.
This is leading me down the rabbit hole of corruption, and I've learned there are 2 types.
One is the game corruption.
And the other is the town corruption.
Of course I still have a lot to learn.
I didn't expect to be catapulted down this rabbit hole obviously, or I would never have moved that family
so I'd appreciate it if people didn't try to make me feel worse than I do.
I will take peoples word the towns are corrupted due to me moving family from one town to another, although my game
is not showing signs yet of corruption.
That said, I'm attempting now to take steps, to save my sims.
These are Sims I've created and I enjoy playing them & watching their lives progress.
Thank you for your help
edit: what's interesting is I just created custom town not too long ago.
I just created it, moved a few sims from the Sim bin into it so it won't appear abandoned
and moved one of the Sims I had created to go to Uni to it after she graduated.
Only Sims I've played in this town are her & her room mate.
And the only other Sims in this town is a couple or two moved into it from the Sim bin.
She just got married, but that's beside the point.
What I'm trying to say is, the town was just created, but its corrupted already ?
I ran Hood checker on it and its showing corruption.
Then, I found this interesting discussion. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/ts2/what-exactly-causes-game-corruption-t1027.html
I am learning as I go, and I may not have to, but I am leaning toward newly recreated towns, but finding
some things very interesting.
