Party glitch?
Sandilou:
Should I be worried?
Last night a Uni Greek House sim threw a party from her cellphone; I'd clicked on 'phone friends', then changed my mind and clicked on 'throw toga party'. Unusually, no party list came up. Instead, every single sim she'd ever met turned up at her house - relatives, friends, npcs, townies and Uni students. Only a handful in togas. There were between 40-50 sims present.
The game was jumping, and only certain commands worked for the two playable sims on the lot - mainly interactions with each other. Interactions with other sims only worked if they were physically nearby, and as soon as they started them, they jumped out of them. The party message eventually cancelled itself out, so all of those sims stayed. When they gradually left (after 2am) the lot became playable again but, needless to say, I didn't save: During that time the mother of the party thrower died on the lot and left no tombstone.
Was this just a glitch or should I just wait for my game to explode - once again? (I don't think that this is linked to any of your fixes from this site which are already installed in my game). I replayed the lot, and threw another toga party, this time 8 guests were invited and 6 turned up. The game has played fine since. Any real cause for concern?

Beats me. Shit happens, I guess. What do you mean, you "changed your mind"? As in, you X'ed it out before, or after, it started actually doing?
Sandilou:
Yes, I clicked on it then x'd it out before I clicked on 'throw toga party'. The key thing was that the usual party menu didn't appear at all. I waited for it, but the screen message about the party being underway came up instead.
J. M. Pescado:
That's just bizarre. I'll have to see if I can even reproduce that. Did the interaction actually light up green and start to run before you X'ed it out, or was it not yet running?
Sandilou:
The icon had travelled up diagonally (as usual) and I x'ed it out before it changed into the face of the person being called. I touch type, so I was pretty quick - it didn't have a chance to go green. I still think that it's a one-off but just in case, the most recently installed fixes were the No townie/npc - move in amnesia fixes and and the no pool hack - which didn't seem to be working, because one of the guests did go for a swim and she hadn't arrived in her swimsuit.
I reinstalled those fixes today; On a separate note, a cheerleader that moved in didn't keep her memories - that mystery sim was still there.
