Help, fight constantly

Well, in that case...does it mean that the odds are calculated on mean points versus body skill, or something like that? Because it does annoy me when a sim with maxed body skills gets beaten by a novice, just because the novice is madder!
Then you SHOULD get The Fight Club. It is a popular misconception that the Fight Club causes sims to want to fight more. This is untrue, the advertisement values are unaltered. What *IS* affected is the desirability of fighting to YOU: When the outcome is something you actually have the ability to influence, rather than a totally off the wall phalanx vs. battleship roll that you can't affect in any way, the option to do battle becomes much more appealing. Without the Fight Club, it is pointless to even bother, because you won't even win.

I was under the impression that fight experience was like a hidden skill. More fight experience, in that case, would play a part in the equation as well. My mean fighting sims seem to do better in fights against nice sims with less experience, for example. Might be my imagination.
If you have the Fight Club, this is true: If you do not, there is absolutely nothing which has any meaningful influence on the outcome: If it is anything other than a 10-0 match, you basically always lose. What you see doesn't even matter, as the action has no correlation to the outcome. The Fight Club changes all this, replacing single-random-roll with a randomwalk tied to the action, so you can actually watch the fight!

Pes, I do actually have it, just haven't tried it - will pop it in my hacks folder and wait for the next furious sim to start a fight.....

I just want to say thank you for all the feedback...even though some seem to be skeptical...
What I have done to try and rectify the situation is I went through all of my download folder, I have as I said before only the two hacks in the game. So I figured of course it must be a cc problem. However, I cannot seem to narrow down the problem to any specific cc file. My next step I suppose is to go through the long process of the 50-50 elimination. I dread doing this as I have over 19,000 files in my cc folder ugh.
On another note...I do appologize that some may think I am merely trying to waste your time...that was not my intention, I really would like to find out what the problem is and how to fix it so that I can actually play my game. Right now, I cannot play because all of my sims are furious with every other sim and just want to pummel them all, regardless if they have other more important needs to attend to.
Thank you again, any other ideas are greatly appreciated!

Speaking of animations, I don't remember seeing the check-my-underarrms one lately. Did that go away during one of the EPs or do I just not have the right kind of sims?

I believe general consensus is that you are legitimately trying to find an answer to something, which many of us had never seen before. Your name remains untainted.

Two mods is a reasonably sparse downloads folder. You may want to explore other Awesome hacks that might reduce annoyances in your game. There are also a number of "critical fixes" which will save you trouble in the longer term as you play. Browse the hack descriptions available in The Firing Range and The Armory sections (accessible from the main page). You may find what you are looking for, and a number of other things that would be useful/essential (i.e. antiredundancy.package is critical for BV to stop overspawning of useless NPC characters).

This is where the debate is focused. It is not clear to me that you have an actual problem. Some types of sims (Scorpios?) and those with very low niceness, tend to pick fights. Not quite sure what's happening with your married couple. I would try running with debug on (boolprop testingcheatsenabled true) and make manual adjustments to the niceness bars and relationship scores (change for both affected sims - just drag them out of the minus levels).
If you can cancel the fight interactions manually, do so, and try to get your sims to do more positive interactions. If you can't cancel them, that might indicate a problem. Try to get them to make friends through chat, play, appreciate type interactions (especially the married ones). Once they are furious, they will just keep fighting unless you cancel the fights and make them "make nice".
Read the posts above discussing thefightclub.package. This makes fighting more worthwhile to your sims, but also prevents fast relationship decay. As you will note from previous posts many of us kinda like some of our sims to fight, for the entertainment value. New married couples that come out of CAS fighting is odd.
