Hi, I looked around a bit to see if anyone else had this problem and haven't found anything, so here goes. I hope someone can tell me if this is a bug in the game or just something I have done wrong.. Perhaps a download or something.

I first ran into this problem when I downloaded a sorority from the exchange. After downloading it, I installed it with the S2PCI then went into my game to play. The sorority said that it had 3 people in it so I figured I'd find it in the occupied lots section. It wasn't there, it was in the unoccupied lots. I placed it, hoping i could move into it anyway, even though the Sims that supposedly came with it were not present. After placing it, I tried to move in. I get a message saying the house in a Greek House and I can't move in unless invited.

That's where the problem lies... How can I be invited to a Greek House that has no members in the first place? No one lives there, why can't i just move in? Is there something I can do in SIMPE to get rid of the Greek house flag so I can move people into this lot or am i just SOL and need to remove it from my game.

Now, the other problem... similar but not quite. I have a Sorority in Veronaville and wanted to place it and the Sims into Strangetown. I packaged up the lot, closed out my game. Installed the lot with S2PCI and reentered the game. This time the home was in the "occupied" lots, but after I placed it, and clicked on it to move in, it showed 8 blank (no icon or name, just an aspiration meter bar) Sims lived there (there were only 3 females at first)

I then tried to play it. Well, it said that to play it i had to move Sims in, etc.. Where did the Sims that lived there go?? they are nowhere. I looked around for them in Imper, they just vanished completely... Also, I can't move anyone into the house for the same reason I stated above... it's a Greek house and I can't move in unless invited. Well.. can't be invited if no one lives there. It doesn't even show on the Greek House menu on the phones as one I could possible join.

Any ideas? Is this a University problem or is this a problem with some download? I hope this post made sense aslo.. it's kinda hard to explain. :P

Can you provide a link to the lots you downloaded?

Also, did you try installing the lot using the Maxis installer and not Clean Installer?

Here's an idea. Try it out and see if it works.

Use the "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" cheat.

Shift-click on the mailbox. There is an option to create a Sim. I'm not sure if you can create a Young Adult or not. If not, try creating an Adult or Teen, and shift-clicking that Sim and choosing "Set Age to Young Adult."

It's worth a try. I'm curious about this now.

Cancel the above. It was dumb advice. You can't add new Sims in Build mode, and there's no way to get into Live mode without any sims on the lot. (Catch-22).

Hmmm, no one else is having this problem?? *sigh* Seems I'll have to erase Sim entirely... Very odd that no one else is having this problem.
