Outings baffle me
talysman:
He probably has '80s hair, too.
As for outings, I've mainly accepted invites, only trying to organize one myself once (for an engagement party.) Never had much trouble. However, at the time, there were no playable sims below 12, so I didn't see any "babies in the road" issues. Barring such evidence, but admitting that, hey, this is EA we're talking about, I'd say that accepting outing invitations is OK in a relatively-fresh neighborhood, mainly as a way to quickly meet new people. After the first several outings, however, switch to playable-organized outings for special occasions only -- like forcing potential deadly enemies to meet in public.

LOL, it happens to me, too, sometimes (although not always). As soon as I install a new EP, next outing includes a baby or a toddler, event that automagically ceases to happen with the following patch ::).
It doesn't seems to be a check in the code, like "is this sim already invited at an outing?", so after 6 p.m. random outing invitations will cancel each other and messing up the whole thing. Plus, the taxi issue is messed up as well, given that sometimes the call includes an automatic transportation call, sometimes not. I tried some time ago to look in that part of code but I gave up, 'cause it's seriously messed up.
And if you decline the second (third, fourth, etc.) invitation, it will cancel all the others, too.
So far, the only "solution" I found out was to have the invited playable own his own car; in this case he will head straight to that paying no attention to further calls.

Good, I'm reassured to hear that this bizarre situation is fairly normal. The next day I noticed that different sims in my family had the blue overlay relationship boost thing for the various people who had called for outings, so the caller was intending to call a specific sim but then invited whoever the hell answered the phone, and then gave the relationship boost to the person they hadn't even spoken with. I guess.
The next day this child called for an outing:
Then he immediately turned himself down, perhaps because of the time. However, I've had children ask an adult on an outing, stay with him until late in the night, and the next day come around to deliver a Mr. Bearlybutts chair. It was wealthy children and a poor adult, and I couldn't shake the feeling that they were using him for some disgusting perversity.
Also, similar to what Mr. Pescado mentioned, I have had toddlers crawling around the Crypt-o-night Club.
I'll just go back to refusing outings, and thus avoid the Underaged Predators of the Night.
GayJohnScarritt:
The only time i've ever tried accepting an outing invitation, a total of 10 different townie's got out of the taxi when they arrived at the bowling alley. I blame Neko for that, as i had just finished reading one of her Clown Car chapters.
spaceface:
Right, I am going to start accepting outings as of now. I want to see what those toddlers are really doing at the night clubs...
