2) A regular sim has become infertile. She is married and well before Elder stage. "Try for Baby" does not show up as an option and she never shows pregnant either.
I had this happen a couple of times. The first was Dina Caliente, who I'd married to Beau Broke. I made the mistake of having her drink the Elixer of life after she got pg, not even remembering that she WAS pg. Couldn't get the "Try for Baby" option and she never showed up pregnant, either. Had to have her move out, and onto another lot. She showed up on the lot pg and gave birth right away. I then moved her back home.
The other time was when I made the mistake of using a UNI lot in the regular hood. Uni lots evidently have the aging off to allow the students to live there without aging. I moved the family out and into a regular house and the pregnancy went on as normal, as it she had just gotten pg the day she moved in.
Things you learn by doing, I guess! :P

In a previous installation, this happened to me as well. My Sim went to Uni and made friends with the gypsy while there. I decided to move her into a house downtown after graduation. Things were ok for about 10 minutes of playing time. Her friend, the gypsy, called her on the phone...(I was testing the phone hack) and she teleported there when she hung up the phone...three Sim seconds later, another gypsy that comes when a new Sim moves in, showed up...next thing I know, I was unable to interact with my Sim....first her plumbob disappeared, and then she would just stand around like you guys said, like free will was turned off.
I deleted her and her lot. End of story. I didn't have any problems in my regular neighborhood, but since then, I've bought a new computer, and started over with everything.

This was my first "bug" in NL that actually came from the game itself and not conflicting hacks that just didn't work with the new EP...so I guess in that respect, I've been pretty darn lucky.
For future reference it *might* not be a good idea to shove like 50 things into a sims inventory ;)
Resin..wish I could help for sure but these are the only things I can think of:
Remove all your hacks just for testing. I know you said that you left in only the approved ones but at the same time it might be wise just to remove them all and see if it corrects any of the problems. (Just move them out of the downloads folder into another folder on your desktop or something..you can easily stick them back in then)
2nd..have you downloaded the patches for Uni and NL yet?
resin:
Thank you for the help. It seemed that I missed a hack conflict somewhere. I think it was JM's romancemod. TwoJeffs' Casual Romance was fine, but I think that JM's either no longer works or it now conflicts with Casual Romance (where it did not before).
As for my infertile (or possibly stuck early pregnant) sim, moving her out and into another lot had no effect. Oh well.
My college student WAS fixed by moving out, but as soon as I moved him back with his roommates, he had the same problem all over again. I just moved him out for good to fix him.
Thanks so much for your help!
