Hello,

I just ran Mootilda's hood checker on my one and only neighbourhood. It's now pretty clear why I was getting so many random error popups regarding townies before. I'll post the log here for people to read.

Could someone please instruct me on how to fix these issues? Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, sim has no character file errors generally can't be fixed. If you have any CC which creates NPCs - things like rebecah's farm animals - those can cause these errors, in which case there's nothing to worry about as long as you don't delete the CC.

I do have Beck's farm animals, but I've had errors about townie's long before ever having them. Is my game still relatively safe if there is another reason behind it? Could the Visitor Controller be a reason? I seem to remember these errors starting around the time I tried that, but removing it didn't stop the messages.

The memories for the Tricou family will not go away or be fixed untill you resurrect them.

Right now for these i am thinking there Becks farm amimals.

If you still have Becks farm amimals in your download folder then any hood you make or play will have them in it or they could be NPC that have not been activated yet but once they become active then they will gen up the data needed for them.

For these:
Subject does not exist: 0x005C Christopher Allbee: Met SimID=0x13AD37CA
Subject does not exist: 0x007B Gary Sartor: Met SimID=0x13AD37CA
Subject does not exist: 0x007D Zack Ma: Met SimID=0x13AD37CA

The 0x13AD37CA we think are vacation townies/NPC like the Bell Hop, the one behind the check-in desk.

The "Visitor Controller" in not your problem and does not have any data that the Hood Checker will see.

Does the game always give the same ID number for the farm animals? If so, we should be able to pin those down.

How do I resurrect a family I never see in game though? Tricou doesn't ring a bell at all.

I'm glad that most of these lines seem to be nothing to worry about though. Thanks so much for taking the time to look at it guys. The report was twice as long before the hood checker fixed things for me, so maybe these remaining things are meant to be there, like you say.

Tricou family is attach to your main hood when you add Downtown to it. http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Tricou_family

There are several ways to resurrect them.
