queenbrat:
When I call the matchmaker since I got AL she will come and the Sim pays her for a blind date and then it resets to the matchmaker arriving but the money comes out anyway.What a racket lol.Anyway I didnt have this problem before I got Al. ???

Tsarina:

I didn't really get that. What do you mean by 'it resets to the matchmaker arriving'?

jolrei:
Tsarina:  I think she meant that she gets a jump error and the matchmaker resets.  Sounds like she's playing with debug off to me.

Queenbrat:
I would inquire, in a tired sort of way, if you have tested this scenario in a vanilla game.  If not, remove your Downloads folder and test.  If the problem goes away, you need to find the hack that is conflicting and remove it.  Binary search is your friend.  See the FAQ for details.  You've been lurking here a few months.  Perhaps you know this drill already.  It is possible that this is a case of tight pants and you have a pre-AL hack in there somewhere.

When testing, play with debug mode ON and test to see if you get an error message - playing with debug mode off shows you the jumps, but does not allow you to see the actual error.  Always play with debug mode on so you can see when errors occur.

Other than this, the Matchmaker/Gypsy is known to have issues, notably that she is incredibly bad at providing anything reasonably resembling a good match (often providing teens as dates for adult sims).  Many of us have stopped using the Matchmaker altogether.

Use TwoJeffs' crystal ball as an alternative to the idiotic matchmaker.

If the OP is not satisfied with the normal, intended behavior of the matchmaker, this may be a useful suggestion. However, odds are that the OP is describing something wrong. If there is something wrong, either because of tight pants or an impeding BFBVFS, ignoring the problem and installing another hack isn't going to help.

In short, stupid advice is stupid.
