I restarted my game, went back to Mountain Lake and made the Clue House family my active household. I saw that they too had messed up relationship panels. I quickly made all of them acquaintances. I couldn't remember who was closest to whom, but at least they all knew each other again. Their smart phone functions seemed to be working ok.
Boddy had been made a bartender. BTW, this was the first time I noticed the feathers floating around his ghost. He was killed by the Murphy Bed (blunt force).
Josephine was on the floor of a club wrapped snugly in a sleeping bag! Everyone finally made it back home.
The big task here was to resurrect the ghosts. This process was going to be part of my story, but I decided to just get it done. I could have used NRaas cheats to instantly do that, but I compromised. I used DebugEnabler to have the ghost sims each prepare ambrosia for themselves.
Next I had to spawn the two unplayable ghosts and have them also eat ambrosia. One of the active sims made two plates of it and left them out.
John Green was the last ghost. He didn't go after the ambrosia at first. Then I remembered I already had a full house, and he couldn't join unless I split off Carie the Mascot. So I did that.
John finally took up the ambrosia.
After everyone was ready, I evicted the household and saved them to the library bin. I then saved their home separately. After I quit the game, I took the old Mountain Lake saves out of my Sims game folder and put them in a back up folder elsewhere. Then I started up the game again. (During all these restarts, I also cleared cache files each time.)
In the new Mountain Lake world, I installed the Boddy Mansion again and placed the Clue House family. All their stats looked good.
One of the other things I did was save Cexavu and Carie from the old world and place them in the new one. Later I realized there might be another Cexavu in this world, so I need to check on that, change a name if needed. I don't want two Cexavus running around!
Carie is in the house I originally chose for Uncle Allen. I repaired the roof and gave her a fixer-upper car too. Not sure what I'll do with these two, if anything, but they're in the new Mountain Lake for now.
Sims love to work on this car. And Carie is just begging for a makeover!
Cexavu's car is close to being finished.
