Help me move

Post by Sara_Darkees » March 6th, 2023, 9:58 am

Hello everyone again! I thought about it and decided that I had lost interest in everything around me, I was tired of the current landscape, and the same faces disgusted me... I need to change the town, in TS3, of course. That is, I want to break off all relations with the current town, but! I don't want to lose success in my adventures. Can someone clearly explain which files I should copy and paste to the folder with the new save?

If you move your Sims to a new town from within the game (use 'move to a new town' option in the travel and real estate menu on the phone), progress in vacation worlds should carry over. Make a backup save before trying as always.

As far as I know, progress is only lost if you save your household to the bin and put them in a fresh save. But is this what you want or will the above work for you as well? If all you need is new surroundings and new faces, moving to a new town is the better option in my opinion.

Nindigo, I definitely remember some method of rearranging files and I think I can guess how to pull it off. But what if I'm wrong? In short, I need someone to tell me which files need to be moved and not used. Just in case, I also use the Traveler mod, and I've had adventures not only in the towns from WA, but also in Isla Paradiso. It's possible that I'll uninstall the current home town, so I don't want the "remnants" of the characters I want to say goodbye to in the list of relationships.

This is a failure. I was able to safely move to another town with the ghost using Porter (ghosts are very problematic creature and almost never properly exported), then I copied and pasted the necessary files... And after that, I checked how things were going on those Cursed Islands. Everything is great, all the fixes are in place, all the relationships with the residents there have remained the same, the islands, which I discovered on my own, are still available to my eyes, but... But!!! Now I don't own them. Ehhh, if anyone has any ideas on how to safely move to a new town with a ghost and break of all old relationships, let me know, I'll be just happy.

I don't know for sure, but in your old save, befor moving, can't you use Mastercontroller?
from cityhall -> Intermediate -> Long Term Relationship: By Category
Filter -> Type of sim OR -> Non Active Family
Choose "stranger"
Save as and start game again

Does this wipe out all relationships?

Then move to isla paradiso.

Except, if your active household has a relative connection to another sim in town, this might not be wiped out this way.
I think Porter is the best way, to get rid of all other relationships.

The ghosts are your acestors, related to your family, but you can Annihilate them with Mastercontroller too via town options.
OR BEFOR using Porter
MC -> town -> Cleanse the Dead
Completely cleans out all urnstones stored in the mausoleum

So that none are portered, but I haven't tried that, so you need to test it.

Here is another explanation from igazor

But this way they will just get stuck in the status of strangers for a few days, although after reading the recommendations on the link, I believe that RelationshipPanel will get rid of them as quickly as possible. But I also had another idea, more extreme: I can just totally delete all the residents, and they probably won't be associated with me anymore.

I don't want to move to Isla Paradiso, it should remain my vacation location, where my success in discovering the islands will be preserved.

I NEED this ghost, this is my beloved character, and I want her to correctly maintain her dead status. But there are problems with this. It is surprising and sad that she was able to successfully move only with the help of a Traveler, that is, through the vacation method, and then through the option to stay there forever. Well, I will experiment, will keep you informed... And, by the way, thanks for your tips :)

What kind of ghost we are talking about? Real dead sim or Playable ghost?

If it is a real dead sim, how about moving the urn to one of your active sim's inventory befor move with Porter?

Honestly, it doesn't matter, that is, the main thing is to find a way in which she certainly won't be corrupted.

Can you tell what is it about the ghost which is corrupted?

Did you try the way with putting the earn of this dead sim in one of your active personal inventory and then move the family with porter?
