Default Unplayed Veronaville lots have a newspaper?!
I packaged the houses from a new and unplayed Veronaville and I'm using them in a custom hood, but I noticed that each one has a newspaper already present when I move in a family. Is this ok or are the lots corrupted? Which would mean my custom hood is corrupted too, correct? Or could I move out all the families into the sim bin and start them over in a different lot?
Humble thanks for any comments and suggestions!
Cheers, Vllygrl

All the pre-made hoods come already corrupted and all Maxis lots come packed full of sim references, in the hood or in the bin. Best to clean them first.
https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=609188 go down until you see the Lot Compressor with add on by Chris Hatch, that is the easiest way to clean lots.

What does Chris Hatch's add-on do?

Gets rid of the sim references instead of doing it manually in simPE.

Oh cool, I'd not seen any documentation for that. Thanks Jo!

Of course. I remember now that all the premade hoods are corrupted, totally forgot about that in relation to the lots actually being corrupted as well, of course. Thank you so much Jo for the reminder, the link, and the explanations, much appreciated. [ Vllygrl shuffles away muttering to self about once again asking silly questions].
