Is it ok to use the Lot Debugger to re-randomize before the baby's birth, then reload the lot if you got there by lot jumping?
Yes, the Lot Debugger Re-Randomize ejects to neighborhood screen, allowing you to reenter normally.

The new version of the synctimer seems to be interfering with the phone options relating to businesses. The scenario goes like this: Family A and Family B both have community lot businesses. I have the timer installed on both of their home lots. I start with Family A, use the Check in with a Business, everything is fine. I use the "lot jump" to switch to Family B, without saving first. Once I arrive at Family B's home lot, the game still thinks the current family's businesses are the ones owned by Family A, but I'm not even playing Family A anymore. If I Call...Taxi from Family B's lot, the only lots shown as "owned" community lots are the ones owned by Family A. If I try to check in with a business, it only lists the businesses that Family A owns. I have no way to get to Family B's owned businesses.
I tried saving the lot while on the second lot, but it made no difference, I still couldn't access the current family's owned businesses. I did not try exiting to the neighborhood and coming back in to Family B's lot, though I suspect that would have reset things back to normal.
I am running the latest version of the synctimer, dated 5/11/06 7:42 am. I also have the latest versions of businessrunsyou, macrotastics, phonehack, etc.
For the time being I think I'm going to avoid the lot jumping. It seems more trouble than it's worth. I do like the day-of-the-week syncing, though, and I am slowly cycling through all my lots to get everyone on the same day of the week.

This would be one of the aforementioned "harmless artifacts" that seem to occur. Apparently OFB now retains some internal hardcoded record that runs in parallel with what formerly worked pre-OFB, and this record is inaccessible and not able to be updated at this time.
Karen:
Any chance you could make the lot-jumping an option that the user could turn on and off, like the options on the baby controller? That way people who don't want to use it wouldn't have to worry about side-effects from accidentally clicking on the family name in the synctimer menu. Just a thought...

What the dickens is "frobnication"??? (apart from being something you do on Uni lots).
