Squiggly Lines of Doom!!
Sandilou:
I think that the squiggly lines are linked to a corrupt death. I remember JM and Twojeff brought out critical fixes for this: the NoCorruptDeath is part of the MoreAwesomeThanYou package and is alsol available seperately in the Hack Directory.
RainbowTigress:
The squiggly lines mean that the subject of the memory couldn't be found. The corrupt death memory showed these symptoms because sims would get a duplicate invisible memory of the death that had no subject, so the game would display the squiggly lines. In other situations, the squiggly lines can usually be linked to corrupted memories, which for mysterious reasons do not have a proper subject. The solution is to track down the memory and either replace it with a valid subject or just delete the offending memory. The problem creeps in when your sim starts spreading the corrupted memory via gossip and chatting with friends, and they then get a copy of the corrupted memory. I think that this doesn't mean a BFBVS is imminent, but it could be a sign of a problem in your neighborhood. It could mean there are invalid sims as ZZ pointed out above, which will definitely lead to a BFBVS sooner or later.
Lythdan:
I remember before I got NoCorruptDeath, every time someone died, they used to get a second memory after the first one. This second one was the corrupted one with no subject.
ZephyrZodiac:
And some ghosts think they've died twice!
As to corrupt memories, why do some sims display a "Pregnancy modifier" token? Should these also be removed? I mean, it's often townies, and NPCs who have it, often too they're male, so it seems illogical that they should have it!
And why do some townies etc. have a complete pre-load list of memores, while others are simply initialised? And why have some "been to college"? I can understand it with NPCs once they have worked there, but the Strangetown Bella Goth also has this wierd "Been to College" memory! And some have this memory even if you haven't actually loaded a college campus!
RainbowTigress:
Pescado explains the pregnancy modifier token in the "Myths, Urban Legends, And Apocrypha Of TS2 Explored And Exploded" thread here. It affects sims' chances of having twins.

There is a pregnancy modifier token that does affect twin chances, but it is not a factor that you can influence: Food does NOT affect the pregnancy modifier token, it simply appears on your sim for unknown reasons, possibly randomly, or in connection with being a twin. In any case, it is not an effect that you can influence through any specific known action.
