Yeah I know about these cleaned up versions, they are by meetmetotheriver in MATY I think, but maxis hoods for me work quite well, until I reach 4th generation or get plenty of sims (townies doesn’t help either).
And about your sims in RBH, you can extract them with SimPe and recreate them from bodyshop in another hood.

Ahhh, they worked well for me, too, back in the days of Intel Pentium and flashing red snow. But tbh the lag was probs so bad I never cared much to look for corruption ahahaha

Yeah, I’ve done that before, but I have WAY too many of them and I am lazy ^^;
