    @puzzlezaddictHello again! I really finded myself in the willing of telling you, I fixed the 2 bugs! I noticed that (almost) everytime that the bugs happened, it was after the NRaas Overwatch clean up, so, just to test, I removed Overwatch and Error Trap from my Mods folder, and now, I'm on my original save in Sunset Valley, and I'm playing for about 2 hours now without any bugs! I know it's a little dangerous to play without these mods, but if they cause trouble, you have to remove them. It's really weird that such a recommended mod made this mess in my game, but now it's all solved. I just wanted to tell you this so maybe in the future you can help someone with the same problem as I do, and maybe give them a suggestion on removing these mods. (Now it's for sure) Happy New Year! 'Bye 😉

@J00J_11  The fact that the MC reset made things worse is not a good sign.  At this point, I'd add ErrorTrap before doing anything else.  It cleans up all kinds of corrupt data (without your having to change the settings), and it sounds like your save really needs that.  Be sure to get the version that works with your patch level: 1.67/disc (or Mac), 1.67/Steam, or 1.69/Origin.

When you move the sims back in, you need to use the copy that's sitting on the clipboard in the upper left corner.  If you move in the copy that's saved to the in-game bin, they will act as brand-new residents, not knowing anyone except each other.

@puzzlezaddict Alright, I got it. And I (again!) forgot to say, but when I Reseted everything, I had about 308 notifications telling me about script errors of (probably) all residents of Sunset Valley, including straw dogs. But anyway, I'll continue following the tutorial and see what I got.
