Oh, that's not corruption. Pink soap basically means TS2 has difficulties with rendering all the textures of each individual object, lol. At some point, it cannot render anymore and the unrendered textures appear pink. It's not a gameplay bug, but more of a graphical bug. It looks like your TS2 game does not have enough texture memory to render all the textures of the objects (including off-lot objects, such as neighborhood decoration, etc.), that's why you get pink soap. No mod conflict at all.
Have you applied the 4 GB patch and used Graphic Rules Maker to make TS2 use up more texture memory? That might decrease the pink soap... or as previously suggested, try changing the lot skirt to "small" to reduce the number of objects in your lot and make it run smoother.
As the neighborhood creator, I'll have a look into this one more time and reduce the number of trees in neighborhood view, lol. Because in TS2 base game (yes, I built Aileen Landing using BG only), you cannot see any neighboring lots or neighborhood decoration in lot view and the lot skirt is small as well. That's why I didn't notice it at first glance, lol.

You'll never guess what fixed my "persistent purple soup keeps infecting lot even after exiting and reloading the game" problem :shame:
I turned my computer off and on again. It's all fixed. I still have to restore from back up unfortunately but I will in future. Shut my computer off. Before fucking around with mod load-out.
I love this neighbourhood so much!!!!!!!!!! It's so great!!! I love all the architecture!!!!! The aesthetics of different houses it's all so clever and fun!

House Layout Issue Report
This window in 34 Queen Cassiopeia Ave. is floating.Update on drama:
Melboula gave birth to quadruplets before dying in the fire she created, along with her mother and step-daughter. Chalawan, who already had both sons die, was visiting them, and she also died. Two entire households have been wiped out. Jupiter and Triton Mykonos moved in with the Lynx family. Pollux Xothburg got left at the alter. Rigel and Mira moved out and into the Bella Goth house with their adopted baby, which is one of Melboula's quadruplets. Dione Lyra died in a kitchen fire, and I almost missed the whole thing. No sims noticed until it was too late. Titianna Sombrero has moved out to college.
And the latest update: the Sombrero household has officially been labelled a death trap. In my previous rotation, Taphao Thong died there. And just now, Triton Mykonos died. Ghosts are deadly to visitors it seems.
Proteus Mykonos decided to move in with his Sombrero cousins, so he is no longer considered missing.
Ara and Rhea Markab had twin girls. Afterward, Ara went on a date with the Pollination Technician, and she impregnated him (I rolled a d2 to see if this would happen). He successfully got rid of the flowers she gave him, so that his wife wouldn't see, but when his pregnancy started showing, she put the pieces together and got mad at him (from this mod! https://simfileshare.net/folder/22481/). They've both decided to stay together however. Almaak has reached his required number of grandchildren thanks to Ara Getting Around, so he's reached infinite platinum aspiration.
Pyxis household is a nightmare; they now have two sets of twins. It's just a constant challenge of caring for the babies and making sure they eat and sleep.
Hydra Mykonos met Queen Cassiopeia IV on a hike.

New drama:
Christina Landgraab and Hydra Pyxis (she changed her name back) have gotten married and adopted one of the Melboula orphans. There are now two of the quadruplet orphans remaining, and then her three original kids.
Tugce tried to use a love potion to seduce Micah, but it didn't work. I'm looking for a mod that might make love potions more interesting :lovestruc . At Can's party, Tugce autonomously decided to woohoo with Elijah McLaren. I almost missed it because I wasn't looking at her.
Arnav McLaren decided to assault Ricardo Sousa for like no reason. Ricardo no longer has a crush on him. Rodrigo continues to perform seductions. Teddy Bear has given birth to her and Rodrigo's baby. Rodrigo and Ricardo are fighting over top of the newborn.

LOL that went way out of control! XD
I love reading your updates, they're always fun and full of drama! I feel flattered to see people play and enjoy Aileen Landing! :lovestruc
Also, thanks for the report about the missing window. I've taken a note of that and will fix that first thing in the next version.

Telescope at the top of Anatomy of Cake isn't useable. Nudging it forward (with moveobjects on) made is usable.

Awwww, I love your screenshots, @MasterBoy269 ! You've done an amazing job there! Queen Cassiopeia IV looks so cute! :lovestruc
Also, thanks for the reports everyone! I've fixed the telescope in the LaFontaine residence and also gave a few sims additional relationships, memories and jobs to represent their backstories a little bit, these include:
- The Xothburgs either have careers in Politics or Law Enforcement (if they were supposed to be bodyguards).
- Melboula and Matar are enrolled in the Criminal career now.. to represent their shady past! XD
- Most sims have been given a couple of friends that are outside the household/family members, i.e. Nihal Markab is now friends with Umbriel Sombrero (because why not? XD)
- Other adjustments that are meant to be a surprise! :D
Oh, and today, I finally managed to actually separate the day and night textures for skybox version! So, Aileen Landing can have its iconic gas planet and moons back without replacing other neighborhoods' skies. I'm so happy to share this news! The skybox version lets me customize the sky to an even higher level, so it's all colorful, lol! :lovestruc
P.S. If you wonder what that strange lighting is in the lower right corner, well... after certain sims arrived on this moon, it made a crack in time and space (explaining why sims from the future.. or the past suddenly showed up as townies!) and that blue thingy there is just a visible remains, lol. Let's pretend it that way. (You can probably tell I got too excited after separating the textures, so I'm just making stuff up to justify the weirdness, lol!)

Wait, from the past? I see the ones from future and some who deserve a bag on head, but there (As I know by Sims History) from past. This means MORE townies and MORE stories? ????

Sorry for the late answer, real life kept me a little busy, lol!
But actually... there already IS a sim from the past in the neighborhood.. but expect a few more in the new version! XD
Btw, if you have specific requests (i.e. if you wish to have a Grunt or Summerdream descendant) please let me know! As I'm thinking of including a few more townies in the neighborhood.
Another question, do you guys like the idea of missing parents in the family tree (making the other parent speculative) or would you prefer a complete set of ancestors?

Hey @Jawusa! I'm checking back in. Nice work on the newest version.
I'm wondering how crazy it would be to add the beta version as a subhood to the newer one

Hello Jawusa. I've not been here for long. I suppose your neighborhood has a lot of emprovements, right?
I found myself losing my sight in your project because it is so loong like any popular sitcom. Please navigate me to the last version so far I could look through.

According to the poll we made back in 2015, the majority of you had voted for an urban and an Alien neighborhood. The urban neighborhood is finished and uploaded and can be found here. Now that Emerald Heights is finished, it's time to start working on the second neighborhood theme. I've been secretly working on this for a while.. the lots are all done, but I'd like to have some feedback on the lots. That's why I uploaded the empty version of Aileen Landing for testing. No EPs/SPs are required for this, as this is fully base game compatible. No CC is required for the neighborhood to run, but there's an optimal sky replacement mod if you want to have Aileen Landing look like like in the pictures below... The neighborhood is divided into two main districts; the Alien Village District and the Human Colony District. The Humans have just arrived in Aileen Landing, so the conflict between Humans and Aliens hasn't arisen (yet)! Aileen Landing has 53 lots... I hope that's enough, if you don't think so, please let me know! Also, maybe I added way too many trees... in the neighborhood and/or in the lots (As you can see in the pictures, Aileen Landing has two suns and a huge gas giant in the sky.)
The idea behind this is that Aileen Landing is located on the moon of a Neptune-like planet in a solar system which has two suns...
Anyway, if you're interested in testing, please let me know! Otherwise, have fun exploring Aileen Landing! However, please expect lots of issues. After all, this is only a beta/test version! Download link(s): The neighborhood itself... Inhabited Version (requires alien skins) or Empty Version (no CC required) The CCs are found here... Alien Skins + Default Sky or the Skybox version (non-default) Update!!: (01/21/22) The inhabited version has been updated. The most up-to-date version can be found here! It now also includes scripted events! For more pictures, click here!^^ |
hi, i downloaded the skybox version and for some reason it didn't work. It just appears all pink, and it sucks cause i really liked that sky and wanted to use it on the neighborhood

Oh right, I forgot to update the download links over here, too lol. Mostly, it was just a few bug fixes and a new subhood version. The final version is actually finished and I'll publish it as soon on MTS as I've got time. (Currently, I'm very busy because of university, so I just decided to upload it on tumblr only for now.) But yeah, I documented most of the changes on my tumblr post. You can have a look here.
@-Destino
Hi there, do you have Better Nightlife mod installed? It is required for any custom neighborhood objects that light up in the night. Try downloading the mod I've linked to, delete your cache files and load up the game one more time. I hope it works!

Sorry for the late response, I was busy with uni and all, lol!
But yeah, Aileen Landing is actually finished, it's just that I just didn't have the time to do a upload here on MTS yet.. will come towards the end of the year when the semester's over.
But the final version is already uploaded on my tumblr.. kinda like an "early-acess" upload, lol. I just didn't want you to wait for me until the semester's over and all... especially since I haven't even made any changes to Aileen Landing at all.
