Phantom Funding Sliders Bug question

Hi,

I think I'm experiencing the Phantom Funding Sliders Bug. I have read the solution given by RippleJet in one of the threads here on the forum, but it doesn't work for me.

Quote RippleJet:

The only way to remedy the bug is to first bulldoze all civic buildings with modded funding you may have built after you installed the mod. Note! Do not bulldoze any civic building you have built before installing the mod. That would only make it more impossible to correct the situation.

Then save and exit and physically remove (from your plugins folder) the mod that changes the funding for those civic buildings.

After this you should be able to restart your game with stable fundings. If that is the case, Congratulations! If not, oh dear...

Here's what happened, probably: I downloaded the University of Shmails, changed some of its properties with LEProp, but apparently forgot to bulldoze the building in the game (though I can't remember). After having experienced those funding sliders going crazy, I bulldozed the lot and removed the file from my plugins folder. But when I got back to the game, a slider called Error: No Name was still there, and it kept on affecting other buildings' funding.

Have I screwed up, or is there still something I can do?

I am not familiar with the University of Shamails, but if it was built on the game university lot, it should not cause problems with other types of lots.

What other lots are being affected with the funding bug?

    Yes, it is an adaptation of the Maxis university, but it is smaller and it acts as a police station. So in the fundings menu it affects the sliders of all other police stations. But I don't think it directly affects the lots, only the fundings, right? Or should I remove all police stations in the city?

    Not knowing which police station is used, I can only suggest either not using the  University of Shmails, or experiment with the different police stations to see which ones are affected.  Those stations would then need to be removed.

    To solve the funding issue, bulldoze all of the  University of Shmails lots, save the city, then remove the plugin.  You may need to reset the funding for the police stations.

    As I said, bulldozing the University of Shmails and removing the plugin does not work, because there will still remain a funding slider called Error: No Name, which directs to the place where the university once stood. Putting the University of Shmails back in afterwards results in the appearance of two different University of Shmails sliders that both direct to the same building.
