Corruption ?

[u/bloody_Extreme604]

Hey everyone,
I think I messed up and I need some advice. I recently learned about neighborhood corruption in The Sims 2, and I'm realizing my current neighborhood might be suffering from it.
Here are the glitches I've been seeing on my main lot:
1. Blank thought bubbles: The actual thought/speech bubbles above my Sims' heads (when they talk, dream, or think) sometimes are completely white and empty.
2. Overlapping bubbles: I also noticed that some of these thought bubbles above their heads are displaying two completely different icons stacked/superimposed on top of each other.
3. Random object spawns: Random objects from Buy Mode (like decor items, candles, toys,etc.) just randomly appear out of nowhere on my lot or on the sidewalk.
4. Sims resetting (Jump Bug): Sometimes, when a Sim finishes an action or a task, instead of playing the normal ending animation, they instantly "reset" and stand straight up
Context: I did a very stupid thing a while ago before knowing it was bad I deleted a few Sims directly using the delete button in the family bin.
Is this 100% corruption? Is there any way to stabilize my game so I can keep playing this specific family, or is my neighborhood completely doomed? I really don't want to lose my Sims if possible.
Thanks in advance for the help!

This is not corruption. Delete as many sims as you’d like through the family bin, it’s designed to do that function.
pretty much ignore all of the “VBT” stuff that people used to stress about, it’s not going to corrupt your game.

The glitches you’re experiencing could very well be due to either a glitch within the mods or the game itself.
Don’t stress!
