Corrupt family question

[Sayler04]

I'm pretty sure the family I'm playing is corrupted, which is fine as it's probably the case with a great many American families.  But as I don't want to start fresh, I was thinking maybe if I kick out the son into the library, then move him in somewhere and make him my active family, that he might be able to go on and leave the corrupted portion behind.  Anyone know if this might work?

Hi there Sayler04, welcome to the forum.

I'm moving this thread to Technical Help. Also, your thread title is a little vague. Would you mind renaming it to something a little more descriptive? You can do this by clicking the "Modify" button in the upper right of your post.

Doing what you describe does typically work in these sort of situations. If you're moving in within the same save game, though, it probably will not work as the corruption will exist in the save game data, which would cause the corruption to exist in the town, not the family.

As an aside, you say you're "pretty sure" they're corrupted. What makes you think this? Usually corruption is clearcut, you know if they're corrupted.

Welcome to our Forum, Sayler04.

I just recently had some corruption in a family.  One of the Sims was bugged and couldn't properly interact with anyone.  It was making the whole file unstable.  I moved out half of the family and left the bugged Sim behind.  So far, it's working nicely with the split off family.  Also, I didn't kick them out to the library.  I just used the phone and moved them to a new house.

I do have to ask, though, what does this have to do with American families?
