Question re: Saving the Goth family to bin

[beardeux]

I always save every family and lot to the library bins using 'household with family', 'household only' and then I evict the family and save the lot to bin.  I do this routinely in case of glitches with either the lot or family.

I am wondering about the Goth family.  I have the 'household with house' saved.  So I can load that without repercussions.

But if I save just the lot and/or just the family, will the ghosts remain intact with the house.  Also if I placed the house on a lot and then the family separately into the house, would the family ties be broken.

I'm moving this to Miscellaneous Help Board.

Hi! When you copy your family to the bin/library, it only places a copy of them in there. They remain where they are in the hood. Only when you move them to a different hood is when family ties are broken.

Hi Sonshine,  I did copy the 'family with house' to the bin and started a new town, replaced the Goth family with my Goth family from the bin and all went well.  The relationships with the ghosts still existed.  I gave Gunther the social networking skill and was able to put the relationships to best friends without having to go through that again.  Most helpful skill.

I didn't test the other two save options though.  The household only and house only.  I do have the games backed up so I guess not having those extra safety copies to the bin won't hurt.
