Serious Gaming Issues

Hey everybody,
sorry that is has been so quiet on my end. Classes started again and, comparing to the last semesters, my schedule is pretty tight. Nevertheless I managed to squeeze in some Sims time!
Unfortunately I have been facing some issues that don't seem to go away. Due to a number of glitches I have been experiencing, I moved my family (=Julia) to a new version of Appaloosa Plains, including new families and erasing the old ones for obvious reasons. Everything seemed just fine. BUT. It wasn't. Ever since I moved, the job performance won't go up. First I thought this was due to Julia still having her old job, but it happens to other (active!) Sims, too. If they miss a day, the performance goes way down (yeah, because that's fair), but it won't go up. No matter what I do. And now this has started happening to school children, as well.
DragonWife, I know this happened to you, too (at least similar to this) - I checked your blog, but couldn't find your solution to that. How did you make Zeke's job performance go up again?
In addition to that, is there anything I could do? Usually I would "just" de-install and re-install the Sims, but since my CD drive (right translation? The thing where you put your CDs in, e.g. in order to start the Sims) doesn't really work anymore, I couldn't re-install it. This would leave me without any Sims at all - not an option!!!
HELP! :(
