    @Rdarbily  There's no harm in trying to place the sims in a new save.  If it doesn't work, you've just lost a bit of time.  And there is a way to save the individual sims as blank templates if necessary, so you could start with this same household from scratch if nothing else works.

    The one key here is that you absolutely need to quit to desktop before loading the new save.  Switching from one save to another at the Main Menu is a surefire way to corrupt the new save: the game doesn't release all the data from the previously-loaded save and imposes some of it on the new one.

    I would strongly recommend continuing to use ErrorTrap, Overwatch, Mastercontroller, and Traveler, and probably Register as well.  None of them require you to do anything special; they'll just do their jobs in the background, except for MC, which won't do anything at all unless you use it to issue a command.

I have followed your steps but my Almanac of Time doesn’t return in that save. Also yes I did. Because his sim was glitching, he became huge. I took him into CAS and out down his fat and muscle sliders that were turned up all the way, but that must’ve been the problem.

I now saved my household in Edit Town but could I maybe just make a new world with them in there because I know I can recieve the Almanac in a new game. And if I can’t I don’t mind too much because I haven’t been playing with that family for long.
