Outings baffle me
Orange Indigo:
No one is forcing you to accept the outings.
Unless your game is actually forcing you.
In which case, there's something wrong.
nanacake:
Ah well I meant to *fix* it, so babies and kids won't appear, and only sims that actually know your sim will call?
Witches:
Actually, the double outing invite happens to me quite a bit, usually if I have more than one eligible sim on a lot. The way I avoid trouble is never accept more than one invite. Lately, since AL my sims have gotten "thanks a lot for standing me up" if they do anything, even autonomously, before the cab arrives. So I agree that taking your own car is probably safest.
Also, sometimes with outings I have to call the taxi, and sometimes I don't. The game is definitely screwy.
I often get children on outings. I immediately ask them to leave because the last thing my adult sims want are bratty little simlets calling them on the phone. One of my sims always gets Marcia whats-her-name but has avoided actually meeting her (whew) because he asks her to leave the group. Apparently that doesn't count as meeting her.
I've only had one toddler recently, and boy did he pick the wrong tree to bark up (up which to bark?).
My advice is, if you've already said yes, don't say yes again, and if the taxi doesn't arrive call one for yourself, or better yet, always take your own car (if possible).

But if you say no, first outing is canceled (talking about borkiness... eh) anyway; better again, send if possible another sim to answer the phone, and when the moron asks if sim xxx is available, say no. So far, it's the only way I found out to not scramble somehow the outing.

I like realism in my game, so I leave the phone turned off - just like in real life. :D
