I can't remember if my played Sim had tried going upstairs prior to the cursed book event, though I thought I had seen some tenants going upstairs earlier. I wasn't paying much attention to the tenants' movements yet since I was still familiarizing myself with the layout of new building and greeting new tenants downstairs. I entered a tenant's room at one point, but don't remember if that was upstairs or downstairs. It didn't occur to me to try teleporting. (Normally I only teleport spellcasters and don't think about non-occult Sims teleporting.) 😄 All of this chaos happened maybe an hour after I downloaded the build and selected tenants, had the Welcome Wagon event, then a neighbor invited my sim to the lounge shortly after the tenants arrived and appeared to be functioning normally. She was still at the lounge when the notification about the cursed book popped up and she returned to the property to find everyone oddly blasé about there being a tome of chaotic destruction sitting on the floor directly overhead. 😂 I can see if she can teleport into the room tonight, but in any case the book is now gone and the glitches are still occuring because the game thinks it is still evicting tenants who have already left.
From before the cursed book event started, no, since I had just created the save and had only been playing in it a short while. However, I exited the game the first time in the middle of the event, and originally didn't think to do a Save and Exit since normally I try not to save in the middle of a glitch. But later I noticed that the new save was still in my list as the last played game, so I resumed the game and continued trying to delete the book. (That's when I first noticed the stairs weren't working for me.) Although I couldn't save the game later because I got a notification saying I couldn't do so during an eviction event, I think that save still exists in my saves file if you want it. I don't know if that last save point would take you back to the middle of the cursed book event or to when I gave up playing the second time.
OK, I'll check again when I get home and see if the save point time travels me back to when the cursed book event was still occurring. If so, and if teleporting into the room to delete the book and end the event properly works, I'll name my next wedding chapel after you. "St. Crinrict In The Meadows" has a nice ring to it.
