Default How do I save a crashing lot?
I have The Sims 2 UC with the RPC launcher. I recently got back to playing my Pleasantview legacy and quickly noticed that the lot where Dina, Nina, and Mortimer live crashes the game when loading. All other lots can be opened just fine, it's just this specific one that's broken. I tried to fix the neighborhood with Hoodchecker, but it doesn't show anything wrong with that lot. All Sims from this lot can be normally invited to other Sims' homes, moved out, etc. But even with no one living there anymore, the lot cannot be edited because it still crashes. The same thing happens when I try to pack it as sims2pack. I've already tried deleting all caches, but that doesn't help either.

Any ideas on how to save this lot? I spent a lot of time furnishing it and there are souvenirs from vacations, flowers from dream dates, photos from booths, Michael Bachelor's grave, etc. on it, so I don't want to lose it.

Here's the crash log

Edit: I did the 50/50 thing as a last resort and turns out a cc rug caused this. The rug wasn't even placed down on this lot. How?

Unfortunately, it sounds like this lot is done for. You could recreate the home on a new lot in the same location (after bulldozing the old one). If it's the same 170 Main Street lot that the Calientes start out on, you can download a fresh copy of the lot off Sim Echos. You'd still have to redecorate, but it's way easier than starting completely from scratch.

Date rewards and photos won't be salvageable, but you can re-buy vacation souvenirs either the normal way or through the catalog with the Buyable Souvenirs mod. Any lost tombstones/urns can be respawned using various methods such as the FFS batbox or the urnstone spawner.
