Finally started using LotAdjuster! This farm was originally the basegame house 'Family Farmhouse' but I made the lot bigger, moved the placement of the house, and made it into a proper farmhouse with a barn, completely CC-free The exterior is super revampted but the inside is exactly the same. No clue how I went so long without using LotAdjuster, seriously :D

Ok, I'll post some pictures, but I don't know how anyone can fix the internal workings of the game. I've had this happen before, when I used another community lot and it froze. I'd banned witches (which is the usual problem) so it can't be them, and I don't have any NPC's allowed-just the ordinary townies.
Anyway, here are some pictures of my 'masterpiece'

True, @FranH - impossible to fix some things, but sometimes there are things that can be fixed, so always worth a try.
I don't see anything out of the ordinary at first glance, and I don't believe the townies will cause any issues.
Let's see if somebody comes along that knows more than I do
The pool looks very inviting - i actually like lots that do not have 1000 things to do on it in my own game

A tree caught on fire just as I was taking screenshots for an upload. FML -_-
Ah well, it makes for a funny picture on the upload page, I suppose.

@JustPetro-As I stated, I was very disappointed when it didn't work as I'd planned. Although I've built community lots with pools in them, and haven't had that particular issue with them. I do hope someone can figure out what is going on with it...I'd love to not only play it but upload it for others to use. I think it's pretty cool.

Justpetro, you're so sweet.
Fran, as I said, I'm hopeless with anything like this. But, I really hope you can fix it. You worked so hard on it, and it looks great. I want you to be able to use it.

By the way, the 'freezing' happens when my simself jumps into the pool. I extracted myself out of it (nice trick by way of MOO) and only my head was available. The rest of me disappeared. I'm wondering if it's the pool itself, by the length or height of it. I don't have much CC on it at all-just the diving board, ladder, railing and the wooden platform-the terrain paint should not have any issues-that's a static thing.
What I'm planning to do is to reinstall the lot (I saved it, of course) and then use the 'boolprop' cheat to see if there's any messages coming up that can give me a clue about what might be happening. I'll see if I can write them down, so to debug it.
EDIT: (in order to not double-post..)
I rebuilt the lot from scratch-using a different lot size, and building in closer to the ground, I now got a working "Infinity pool" suitable for download, if anyone has any interest in it. Less is better, I found. My simself was able to get into the pool (although she's still scared of diving for some reason-must be her real-life fear of heights!) and swim around all the way around without freezing. She asked Jan Tellerman to join her in a game of Marco Polo and all went well.
Thank you, Justpetro-you had the answer-the previous one was too deep, thus, broke the boundaries of what the base was..lower is better.
I think I've got a winner:

That is a good idea.
Not sure if it is relevant - I actually remembered something now, @FranH - I tried to build a slightly fancier than normal swimming pool for a contest, and it just did not work - it was in the desert, and my sims seemed to have no idea where the pool begins and where it ends. I connected the pool to the deck. The sims swam everywhere - through the sand, through the deck, up to their rooms - but could get out well enough to get into beds, eat at tables and use everything on the lot They gained nature enthusiasm swimming though the plants too!
My daughter later glanced at it and said she thought the pool was too deep. She may have been right.
I put the hotel in a test hood to see if I could fix it and that made it worse - Sims were now swimming off the lot when they left! I have not succeeded in fixing that.

Having 1 sim abducted on a round was cool
Having two sims abducted plus both times rung the pregnant bells is just
totally awesome!

I figured out how to do this :DDD
I had to use the OMSP and cheats to accomplish this but thanks to this tutorial the posebox I tested worked. It's this one by the way ( http://simfileshare.net/download/177587/ ). I'm excited now but I'm gonna start small and try out some simple poses

Aside from making Infinity pools that work, Tinsel Town is getting bigger by the minute.
Not content to have just one baby, Mindy Wilcox gave birth to quadruplets. This is the second set in the town. Throughout her pregnancy she felt miserable, tired and sick. She was expecting just one child, and was overwhelmed by the fact of four at once. It took a few hours for the parenting instincts for both Troy and her to kick in. Then they found out the joys of stinky babies. Mindy's already called the nanny to care for them while she's at work.
Darrell & Lynn Walton are on the verge of divorce after she found out he was having an affair with a neighbor. "I knew I should have made him get another job! He's got too much free time-and he spends it with other women!"
Oh, there was another baby born as well on Day 16-Eleanor and Alec Shaw had a baby girl-which overtired her to go back to bed. Being a lazy sort to begin with, Eleanor looks for any excuse to go back to bed with.
So the houses are filling up, the kids are getting born and growing up.
There is only one couple left that hasn't had any children, and at the rate they're going, they won't. Neither of them have any wish to have children, but it's understandable because they're very selfish and self-centered pixels. All they want is money, fame and fortune. They know children will get in the way of achieving those.

Tourists are just marked by being in particular families, like other townies. I haven't installed BV yet, but if you can identify the tourists by sight, you should be able to tell which families they belong to by summoning sims from various families with Inge's teleporter cat. When you figure out which families contain tourists, just summon them all, make them selectable one by one, and use the teleporter to make them townies.

Alright, I'll see about giving that a go. I have the painting, that should work as well.

Coca Panoski is pissed - Ceasar Rafferty died before giving her hush money, and now she is broke AND pregnant. On top of that Cola is pregnant with baby#2, and Sebastian is a father. Everything's so messed up. And Sebastian doesn't care about his family's reputation anymore, so no hush money from him either.
So Coca sat Cola down for serious conversation about money and children. After that they both rolled a want to buy a community lot, and Cola wanted to get a makeover station. Coca took a huge debt and bought Eve's boutique. She is managing the business, and Cola will be working as stylist. They will find a bigger apartment and hire a nanny. As far paying back debt goes... ugh, who knows. Coca has a bolt with Adam Patch and all that "honest family man" thing is obviously just facade, so... Meanwhile she is writing a tell-all book about hers and Cola's affairs with Caesar (half of it is made-up stories, of course). It's going to be a bestseller. Coca is sure about it.

Andrew has successfully treated his acne with oodles of acne cream and a good night's rest. He's feeling a lot happier and he's currently on a visit downtown with Julian, and we're taking pictures for the Outfit of the Day challenge there. He hopes to post them in the thread soon -- probably tomorrow.

Things are looking up for my town Elgin. The second gen is growing up and moving into places of their own. Elgin’s economy is better than ever, with the town having made around $60,000 this round. Things are going get even better for the economy, when the Ferguson sisters (aka the trust fund girls), get their funds and start owning businesses. That would bring in even more money into the town. Now only if we could produce a bunch of babies, so we can unlock the medical field, and get rid of that darn flu bug.

in greater widespot (widespot with land grant university meadow creek mountainside valley and emerald heights) i started playing a day with each family in mountainside valley;this is what happened in each family so far:
McCormick-jules and virginia both had the ltw of becoming the "hand of poseidon" but both wanted a baby,i sent jules to work but virginia stayed at home where she had a miscarriage then her and jules tried again for a baby but she starved to death and jules failed to get her back . he still wanted love and started to pursue sheila rhein...
Treah-willow immediately gave birth to twins (one boy and girl) called pear and apple,after buying cribs they were broke but i only get jobs for sims if they want a job or need it for their LTW so it was up to acacia to be the moneymaker,ash brought home delta land and since i thought acacia needed friends her age i spawned in the shaer teenage girl
Shaer-amin immediately went off to work seeing as they were broke,they made friends and taught adil his toddler skills.
jones-i'm not sure if this is the right family name but it's the family with two toddlers? anyway mary stayed home to teach toddler skills while danny went to work.
rhein-sheila continued her romance with jules and eventually married him;they now live back in jules' house.
