Do You Have Nameless NPC Households (NotInWorld)?
Periodically I clear out some of the accumulating 'not in world' npcs, using 'manage households.' Today for the first time ever, I noticed half-a-dozen nameless single-sim npc households. Most of them had more or less than 20,000 simoleons, so they had to have been in-game while I was playing.
I have MCCC & some LittleMsSam mods, and I recently--including this game session--used MCCC to delete the relationships a couple of my sims had with not-in-the-world npcs. (Eta: I don't think the relationships I deleted corresponded to the nameless npc-households, but I can't say for sure.) I play rotationally, so my sims meet NPCs when I'm not playing them, & because my sims' important relationships keep getting culled, I try to eliminate the npc-relationships I don't want them to have in the hopes that will help (maybe it does a little?). However, I've been using MCCC for this purpose for at least a year and I have never seen nameless-npc-households before. I last checked the not-in-world NPCs about a week or so ago--very recently by my standards.
I did not d/l the June patch or hotfix; I have everything except EL, ROM, & the Mosch. stuffpack. I bought the Tiny Living stuffpack yesterday but cannot actually play it because I won't d/l the patch until it's less buggy. The TL-pack is the only thing I know of that is a change from previous conditions.
What I'm wondering: do other players also see this in their games? Is this something new that could be affecting those w/EL whose save-games won't load? I can imagine a nameless household being an unacceptable condition that could cause crashes, but what do I know, eh?
To be clear: my game is not crashing (yet). I don't have the June patch or hotfix. However, nameless npc households look 'wrong' to me, & I'm wondering if that could be a factor in the game-crashing that those who do have the June patch, hotfix, &/or EL are experiencing.
I've deleted all the nameless households. I always clear my caches. If my game crashes next time I try to play, I'll update this.
Its a uni glitch from day 1, did you graduate sims in uni,i have about 30 of them blank, when your sim graduates 4-6 townies join the grad ceremony, then they end up in the bin without a last name. When they walk around lots they still have there last names when you highlight them, Like when i saw 1 i recognized graduated with my sim,read the last name, then when i went to other households section i typed in their last name.
If you are not going to use them you don't have to write their last name, you only have to write the last name in manually b4 you can move them into a lot.
As far as them glitching the game, i have so many ea created glitches b4 uni to notice if any new is related to it,i leave most of them blank cause they usually have long last names
