Sim family that won't save to the library

Hi, Thank's,  I have just tried one of you suggestions, with a slight twist, I renamed the folder Featureditems and loaded the saved game already mentioned.  I took under five minutes.  Thus far I am well pleased,  By the by the replacement folder contains 109 items, whereas the old folder had 2161.  Needless to say I will delete this folder regularly from now on.

I have not had the memories on since I started this particular game as I get annoyed by the constant messages that some sim's journal is full and no more memories can be saved. It interrupts the flow of the game.

The same is true of the in game shopping experience. I don't really know what you mean by 'hidden object interactive loading screens'.

The family inventory has just a few items not more then 8 and the personal inventories also has little: a car each, a few books and some fruits.  I also removed all parking spaces as they tend to become unusable with abandoned cars.

I will own up to a full town, and to a home with lots of 'Clutter' as you put it (You can't have only half a room furnished it look a if you are just moving in or out).

Back to the original problem,  I have tried all of your latest suggestions.  Everything I do must be in the one edit session as the clipboard is lost otherwise and they won't save.  I have also bulldozed and rebuilt from scratch but nothing has cured the problem.

Otherwise they function in game well, they go to work, go to bed, cook, play catch, do sports workouts, use all the facilities, interact with each other and other guest and friends.  All in all a well rounded family.  I see no reason to do anything that takes them back to square 1 as I have the original save from their creation.  I can't see that it is any more hassle to click the export button and then move the file over than it is to search a folder with randomly named files then rename and then move the file over, as long as you remember at the other end to uninstall rather than delete there's no problem. 

Yours BillFlowerpot.
