Really loving the features of ASM though! I'd rather live with this than have to play vanilla, but I'm hoping someone else has this problem or knows what to do about it.
This is EAxian in nature - poor genetic mixing. I'm on the 5th generation of one family. I've married in handymen, maids, firemen, townies and more. Every single female looks the same, just with different hair colors. I have some more variation in the males. I have a portrait of each person and I have to do the "view" action to tell who it is because they all look so alike.

ETA: Downloaded and installed 8-15 7:31 version of AM, took out the IndieStoneMod, and restarted the game; no more Indie messages or functionality occurred. Ly and Tinsley families were still fighting over Peep's Peak, though. I know you said to give it time and they would work this stuff out, but does this just keep going on day after day until one of them finally cries "uncle!"? :P
What's so interesting about Peep's Peak, anyway? Is that the ONLY house in the game with a crib or somethng?
Figwit:
Am using the 16.08.09 9.02pm version. My families are all failing at school and work. The first day the school bus didn't turn up. The second day only the kids from the family I was controlling went to school. I haven't got to the third day yet :)

The school/work thing REALLY isn't a part of the Story Driver. This is an endemic EAxian problem.

I'm a long time lurker and user of Awesomeware but never previously had a reason to post.
I've just completed a 8 sim week wolfrun using the latest ASM build on a pre existing neighbourhood. There was a couple of things I noticed concerning romances.
Firstly, although the vast majority of married sims initiating romances had either the flirty trait or committment issues, I saw at least 1 with hopeless romantic trait doing this. I've read previously this isn't supposed to happen but I'm not sure if a fix has been attempted yet. Secondly, the only singles initiating romances have either flirty, family oriented or hopeless romantic traits. I realise traits should affect romances and I wouldn't like to see married sims without flirty or committment issues having affairs but I would like to see singles with a much wider range of traits initiating romances. The way it is at present means only a very small number of sims will marry and breed therefore leading to a population decline and a rapidly decreasing gene pool without player intervention.
On another note, I know the freezing issue has been mentioned a few times and Pescado said he doesn't want to hear about it if it can't be reproduced. Since starting to use ASM on a few occasions I've experienced a freeze where everything stops except the plumbbob keeps moving and birds fly over the lot which can only be shut down using task manager. During this wolfrun, this occurred roughly every 9 sim days it was random and couldn't be reproduced when the save was reloaded. If I don't have ASM enabled and use EA story mode or ISM with AM instead, this never happens so seems to be in some way connected to ASM. Sorry I can't be more specific but thought I would mention anyway please ignore if unhelpful.
Thankyou for a great mod and a story mode with alot of potential.
