Help, Please, It's Not the Gate, But Erik Who Is Cursed!

I do have a back up of this save, however, to switch out at this point, I may as well start him over from university, as I have no real way of tracking which songs he's won an Accolade for and where to pick things up again. I did move some of my saves to a brand new game folder, however. Now, I'm wondering if Erik is the one who is cursed? I just moments ago moved the family into their new house in the new location. Erik has both of his horses and it's a rather cool Spring, so he was lighting a fireplace, and I got that popup that there was a fire. A FIRE. I look around, of course, and guess who found the fire? If you said Erik, you just earned a chocolate chip cookie. Face/palm (If I had any I'd eat about a dozen of them right now, I'm so stressed out.) That glass of juice sure is looking good about now.

Question: If I take the family into My Library (and to do so I'd have to roll back a save, prior to their move, or lose both horses) would this right whatever is wrong with Erik? Or is there some other way to remove this malady? (The game wants him dead, again.)

Or must I simply exchange the save for the back up and try my best to sort out just where he was in space and time and go forward from there?

Please, and thank you, in advance.
