    Ok, I doubt that they can help you much tbh so if you're ok with me trying to help you (as non-ea), let's try to continue here (I don't expect you to answer right away, you do how you feel confortable)

    -------------------------

    I do have a post about the issue but I really really don't see how after removing your entire game, including registery entries and user files, you still have them. It simply makes no sense at all.

    I only have the post in German. This is the google translation (so it can be off at times): Showtime SimPort-book entries do not disappear.

    I really don't see how this would still work though, given you've gotten rid of everything but it's worth a try.

Thank you, Crinrict. I am more than happy to have your help. Even people like me (that use forums very rarely) recognise your name and how much work you have put into trying to fix problems here over, on the official forums and on your site (which has helped me in the past).

I did think the first method was unlikely to help, but I gave it a try just in case with no luck.

The second method in your post, was a little difficult to understand with the Google translate, but I finally wondered if the middle step was to have the new family change house. I picked a random family from the neighbourhood and tried moving them to one of the cheap budget lots in the neighbourhood. It worked! Suddenly I could cancel the tours in progress.

The move must have forced the game to unlock whatever was preventing me from cancelling the tours when it processed the household move.

Thank you for all your help and patience.

    You cannot imagine how happy that makes me that this helped you.

    I guess I need to translate the post to english 🙂

    Happy Simming.
