Mailbox problems with AM installed
Soltis:
An interesting side note: if the game stuffs a foreign mailbox full of Omni Plants and you return home, they end up in your inventory. At that point I was unable to get them out of my inventory even with Ctrl-Shift-Click->Nuke->Object -- but using NRaas->Master Controller->Basic->Sell allowed me to remove them.

Happened with me as well. However, I have no gardening skill.
The only thing clogging the box is creepy stalker gifts, and not very many of them.
Awesomemod is the only mod installed.
If the game freeze happens, it will happen consistently. Reverting to an earlier autosave and getting the mail then usually works, and it generally a love letter which seems to be completely meaningless to the gameplay anyways.
Can we have an Awesome Option for "No Moar Stalker Mail"?
***********update**************
I did find a work-around that can be reproduced reliably. While you may always select "Get Mail", if you do so when the little flag is down the game will hard freeze. If you do so while the flag is up, everything is kosher and the mail clears out nicely. Wait for the flag to go up before taking the goodies.

I have selected the get mail option when the flag was down and nothing happened. My sim simply didn't go to the mail box, as there was obviously nothing in there, and the game didn't freeze either. I selected the option several times and the game continued to play just fine.

I suspect the "omni plants" of not being omni plants, but rather those creepy stalker gifts. I seem to remember there being such a thing (paintings and flowers?), along with the love letters, before this started happening in my game. I haven't had any since.
The hover text says omni plant, but that doesn't have to mean anything as the hover text on the love letters says "bill".

This is a work around for when something *IS* in your mailbox and the flag is down = "Don't check your mail when there is something in your mailbox and the flag is down."
Nothing will happen in your game if you check the mail when there is no mail, as there is no bad mail to lock up your game. Did I miss some obvious thing here with your observation?
