Has anybody noticed their sims jumping lifetime wants?
I've had this happen to me a few times, but I don't have AL. I think it started right after I installed BV, actually.

Bah! Has anyone had a glitch where a sim would roll the same want (play with) over and over, especially while playing with water balloons? Ugh. I mean the kid I was playing racked up about 14050 points just from playing water balloon fight!

I got to page 13 and my eyes started to cross. In a completely CC free game no school bus comes to apartment lots. I noticed this was mentioned a couple times but I'm not sure if anyone figured out the cause of it. I thought it was tight pants but when I took everything out and it was still happening I knew it couldn't be. My kids can obviously walk to school but those pop-ups (which don't come up now) reminded me how much time I had when I'm playing a big house. Not impressed >:(
It seems this is only happening to binned (and/or premade, but I think just binned) apartments. I don't remember if there was any "fix" for it, as the kids can theoretically just walk to school. But, this was the issue, and you're not alone. Sorry I can't give you more info than that. Hopefully someone will chime in with more details.
I'm still trying to figure out my gardening issue. Anyone? Is this in anyway related to the dailygardener.package? Is that preventing the landlord from gardening? I suppose I'll take it out for now and test...just wondering.

SimWardrobe is reporting major borkedness with OFB functions. Like all customers have to be greeted when they enter the lot, and the 'show item to ...." is missing.
Geeze, can't EAidiots even check that they aren't conflicting with their own stuff? ::)
Additional research revealed that the two issues are related. You can only use "Show Item To" on sims that have been greeted by the salesperson you are controlling. This is due to the fact that the greet status is now tracked between all sims present on the community lot on an individual basis. The "Show Item To" social interaction uses the global check trees for social interactions and those have been modified to support the new community lot greeting system.
When a new customer enters the lot, they have no greet status with anyone else on the lot. This means the sim you control can not show them an item or call them over. Maybe I am a tad pushy in my sales techniques, but I often call new arrivals over to my business owners location and then show them an expensive item. With the current community lot greeting rules, this technique is quite impossible.
Things get worse when you have two controllable sims performing sales. Lets say you had a husband and wife or a business owner and manager both performing sales interactions. When a customer enters the lot, he is ungreeted by everyone present. Sales person one will have to greet him before he can show him an expensive item. Sales person one then goes off to help some idiot who can't find the object right next to him. The first customer purchases the item he was looking at and sales person two can now pounce on him. You would think that sales person two could simply use the "show item to" social on him, but no, sales person two hasn't greeted him yet. Maybe this won't effect everyone, but for me all this extra greeting is just a big PITA.
I've come up with several ways to fix this, none of which I like. It will probably be easiest to fix the "show item to" and possibly the "call over" social interactions so that they use private check trees that have been shorn of the new community lot greeting code. One advantage to this approach is that it does not have the potential to screw anything else up beyond the aforementioned social interactions.

@ SJActress: I am also playing the guy with the adopted daughter, and the landlord occasionally pulls a weed, and clips a hedge and leaves the lot. Meanwhile most of the hedges are overgrown and there are weeds everywhere. I have to direct my sims to garden, if I use macro-garden they tend to just run around. I think the rosebushes near the path in front may be the problem, as they are enclosed by a very low fence that means the sim can't get to them and gardening then drops from the queue.
I had the same issue in one of Zazazu's lots, there is a strip of garden enclosed bya fence in front and the landlord just looks at it sadly.
Re the Charlatan, he is appearing at community lots all over the place.
Re the school bus, I have had no problems with it arriving at apartment lots. The exception to this is when you start playing a family or move a family with children and the timer reverts to monday 08h00, then the kids have to walk to school which they do also with no problems.
Yellow pee however is multiplying at a great rate, it is impossible to mop up and has to be nuked with the stuck object remover.
