Ok, so it's not my game -- thanks! I guess EAxis has it setup that way as a sort-of 'scenario' to force the issue of those two getting together. Makes sense, since his apartment looks more like it's setup for 4 people than her's is.
OTOH, it'll take a bit of finessing to get their relationship up, since neither can talk to the other on the phone. I wonder if the current setup also borks any move-in type interactions. May have to move one of them out and back in and see if that resets it.
I noticed that as well. Actually, when I played Vivian & her daughter, Timothy and Sally just kept coming in the apartment all the time on their own. And actually, Timothy came up to Vivian and kissed her out of nowhere and was one of the first sims I noticed doing romantic interactions on their own. Because when you start the game, there's no crush, love or anything like that, they just appear to be friends. But because he kissed her like that, I decided to go ahead and get them married. I didn't even think about the fact that Maxis probably set that up like that.

Hell of a greeting, isn't it? I've never actually heard of anyone getting a + or - from that greeting (or the related goodbye), though, as it's really just an indicator of chemistry and not a "real" kiss (sims are still eligible for their "first kiss" interaction after this greeting). Perhaps something about this salutation was changed for AL?
I thought that was the case as well where it shouldn't effect the relationship, but right after the relationship score with that witch was like -13 / -7. Normally when my sims don't know each other, their greeting is either waving at them or shaking their hand. That's why it was so shocking when I saw it. Before this, the only sims that I've seen greet another sim like that were sims who are in love.
I'll get it if they have a decent relationship (I've never paid close attention, but we're talking at least friends) and some attraction. I hate it. Totally unrealistic. I'm attracted to many, many, boys who I also am some level of friend with, but I don't greet them by planting one on them.
Now the relationship score change, that's new.

Finally got my game and I was brave and went for my normal neighborhood rather than belladonna. This was the first time loading the game so my custom content was disabled and even so my hacks folder was on the desktop to avoid any issues.
With that said I wanted to build an apartment and was out of room in the neighborhood so I went to move a lot to the lots bin. Upon clicking the move to bin button, it did remove the lot. Only one problem though, it removed it entirely from the game! It was not in the lots bin anywhere. I searched for a good 10 minutes going back and fourth mumbling "oh my god" and "how the hell do they miss that huge glaring bug?!" and then it all boiled down to "oh well".
Next I went into a blank lot and started to build. All was fine and I saved a few times as I normally do while building to avoid disaster. After I did some more building I went and hit save again, and about 3 seconds after doing so... "This application has crashed. It will now terminate." I sat glaring at my monitor thinking "gosh isn't it suppose to do that while i'm building and not when I hit the save button?". My game has never ever crashed and i've been playing it since it came out, this expansion seems really unstable.
So I reloaded my game thinking "well it crashed mid saving so the neighborhood and the lot is probably corrupt now!". Nope, all was fine. I checked my lots bin to see if the house that disappeared was back, it was so I was happy about that. I went back into the lot I was building and readded everything that was missing one by one thinking it was something I added that made it do it and saved after every item. I was unable to reproduce the crash. Silly game.

I had a similar crash after I added a Uni to Belladonna -- I was adding a small dorm from the lot bin, and when I attempted to load the dorm to modify it, the game crashed on the lot loading screen. When I reloaded the game and went back into the new dorm, everything was fine, and it hasn't happened again on that lot. Some sadorandom borkedness in the lot/lot bin handling, I suspect.

The game-hangs-on-save-after-clearing-gossip thing happened to me, but only after I also had witches in the family. I cleared gossip once before and saved fine, after making two witches and clearing gossip saving the game froze my computer. And of course I only remembered I oughtn't have done that after it happened. ::)
