A question on Skills

Almost a week into my testing, and I've come across a problem... All of the babies born in my hood deform into brown graphical sticks...
I've asked the people at Twallan about it and they referred me to the "stick baby" problem caused by bad cc (a discussion on ts3 official website) http://ts3.tscexchange.com/index.php?topic=3482.msg17220#new
But I'm not entirely sure that's the problem, as I haven't downloaded any new cc in a while, and I never had any problem like this before I installed Twallan's mod's... so, just putting this out there to see if any of the knowledgeable people here know about this.
Two things. First what the hell does this have to do with this thread?
Second, did you actually read through those links you were given for the Exchange threads and check to see if you had some of the problem custom content known to cause this? Don't assume because you haven't installed any custom content in a while that it can't be it. The problems some content creates do not always show immediately.
Also logic dictates that if no one else is complaining about this on Twallan's board surrounding his mods and a lot of people are complaining about this being caused by custom content on the Exchange that it's most likely custom content. Don't think you know better and argue with people or bug people on another forum that isn't even Twallan's about a problem you think is caused by Twallan's mods. Just check your custom content.
As usual, the obvious first thing everyone should be doing when having a serious problem they don't know the source of is to take all mods and custom content out temporarily (move the Mods, DCCache and DCBackup folders out of My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 temporarily) and try loading the game to see if the problem is still there. Don't save the game, just see what happens. If the problem does not show this eliminates that your game files themselves are hosed and points that it is indeed something you downloaded.
Next put the mods/packages/hacks folder back in (don't put custom content package files under Mods/Packages/Objects or Clothes etc in yet, just hacks) and try it. If you still don't get the problem it is a piece of custom content.
If you had dug through the Exchange thread your were linked over at Twallan's forum and the further links it gives you would have seen that the known problem files to cause the weird baby issue are as follows:
top-nkd
bottom-nkd
Metallica Magnets logo t-shirt
toddler_tee (with 'milk' written on it)
collectionblondes (has a picture of a woman with a black bikini top and bottom)
New CAS Project
Nightime, Daytime, Everytime shoes
Shymoo
And while you are at it, lookout for "Girl Doll Dressed" the infamous viral doll.
These are things that (should have) gotten installed via the launcher so look for them there and uninstall them if you have them. It doesn't matter if you never downloaded them because they can embed themselves in other sim3packs and sneak in.

First, I didn't want to start a new thread... Sorry.
Next, your absolutely right about everything, point taken.
Honestly I hate going through that "taking out and putting back in cc" process(which I know everyone hates), which is why I ask around first sometimes, like now...
And the list of bad files you have is right on the money... I can spot one that I do have, So thank you.
