Hello. My household finally reached visa level 3 in France after some issues with the adventures board not working. He became friends with the special merchant and after he bought a vacation home and the abandoned Nectary, there's no option to buy items from her. I can't see a special merchant anywhere in map view.
The castle he bought has this weird glitch, too. I didn't edit anything on the lot. The only thing I've done is place some furniture from the family inventory. There are bubbles floating up through the floor in one of the rooms and I hear a noise similar to that of a hot tub. I wouldn't mind the bubbles if I hadn't been having these other glitches. I'm not sure what to do. I'd rather not start a new game at this point. My vampire has the Immortal LTR, and I'm very attached to him. I've had this expansion pack for quite a while and this is the first household with all these issues.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I've never had a sim buy the abandoned nectary. Can't help you there, sorry.
My sims have purchased the Abandoned Nectary in the past and they have redecorated it extensively. I have never seen the errors you describe. It sounds like the lot is corrupted. Abandoning the game is a worst case scenario. You should try replacing the lot with a fresh copy at the very least. What you can do is start a new game and using Edit Town edit Champs Les Sims. From there you can save a fresh unaltered copy of the lot to your bin. Quit the game and while your sim is not on vacation (at home world) edit your current game's Champs les Sims replacing the Abandoned Nectary you have. If that fixes it. You can use the same procedure to make the changes you want to the Abandoned Nectary saving the redecorated lot to the bin and then replacing the lot in your game with the new one.
As you should do any time you make lot and town changes in your game you should use Save As after making changes or do not save at all until you know what you have is working. Using Save As you can always go back to an unaltered copy of the game if what you have tried does not work.
Thanks a million for the tips. I started a new household due to all the issues I was having, but if I have the same problems upon buying the castle with any new households, I'll try your suggestions. I didn't have any trouble with the Abandoned Nectary. My Sim upgraded the nectar maker in the barn area, but I haven't tried living there. The Champs Les Sims Castle is the biggest home in France, across the bridge from the home base on a hill. I threw a gift giving party and a message popped up stating that I did not have enough room for the gifts. I was surprised. That home is huge! I then tried moving the dining table, but the party still didn't receive any gifts. Good thing I had the Legendary Host LTR. :-P
I never have any trouble finding the Special Merchant using NRaas mods -- MasterController and Tagger are very helpful, and Register can be used to assign a new one if need be. But even without mods, do none of the tips provided here years ago help you find them at all? They could be stuck inside their houses when it's time for them be out in the market, perhaps the sim needs a reset (if you can figure out their name).
