Spring4Sims – The Best Finds, Downloads & Hints for Your Sims

Just a small update on yesterday’s post: after I figured out it was a bug that was causing my game to go so slow, I tried to get rid of it. The crazy Sims started celebrating Holly Alto in front of the City Hall as the ‘big new architect in the town’. Yes, how cool, especially when the whole town meets in the same place and causes my game to crash.

So I’ve decided to go from one lot to another, taking all the starving and exhausted Sims home to finally end that super-exciting ballon-confetti party. But guess what? After I went to another lot, the previous Sims were back! Arr! So, what now? I wished there was a way to reset the whole town, but then I thought of the resetsim firstname lastname cheat. I went back to the City Hall, hovered my mouse over every single Sim to see their names and wrote the cheat about 60 times. The Sims were disappearing home one by one, finally leaving the City Hall deserted. Hurray! I thought the hell was over. Wrong!

Just when I unpaused the game, the cars started appearing on the road and all the Sims were back. Grr! It didn’t help! The Sims wanted to party again like maenads (okay, not really). This time there was even a new townie generated to give Holly Alto the medal (she was there again, too), but she seemed to be somewhat stuck near the entrace. She wouldn’t give her the madal and end the party like she was supposed to.

Okay now what? *the lightbulb has just lit up in my head* I’m going to delete the City Hall! And so I did! Of course, I saved a copy to my Houses Bin and deleted the venue. Then I placed it back. No crazy medal honors ever since, thank God. I just wish I thought of that sooner!
