Drama Professor & Met Self Fix
DrBeast:
Thought I might add this info here as well: use of the espresso cart does not spawn Met Self memory.

Dr. Beast:
Try adding this along with JM's fix. If this works then he can just roll the two together.

For whatever it's worth: I've been editing a hood that I just deleted a bunch of character files out of. I found "met self" memories for sims that I haven't played ever (townies, maxis made) and for my sims and I have never told them to tend bar.
From what I saw of the memories and relationships, it seemed to me that there is an...entry for each possible relationship in a hood--even if a sim hasn't met another, the entry is there for when/if they do meet. When they meet a check mark goes into the known box and an icon is then placed into the sims relationship panel.
Maybe, it just seeemed most likely to me as I looked at them, some maxiod coder took the 'possible relationships thing' as a strictly mathmatical expression which would have to include the possiblity of a sim meeting itself or rather matical terms a number being multiplied by itself when they should have exculded that possibility. So that leaves: how did the check box get marked and hence develop into a 'met self' memory. Got me...I DO know it has nothing to do with bar tending.....maybe when they look in the mirror? Maybe the entry is just corrupting somehow?
I looked at them a long time! Started with just over 300 character files and a little over 4000 sim relationship entries. Ended with around 200 some character files and just under 2000 sim relationship entries. SO over 2000 edited out. and all of them looked at. Most of those were unknown towards unknown--but there was a self towards self for many--I think all of them but I can't say for sure because 4000 entries is a whole lot for entries to go thru and remember.
Oh yeah: for those using Danny's whores: I'm pretty sure Danny's girls are creating unkown memories. For some reason they are not getting dubbed their names (woohooed with Jeanie, pubic woohooed with Jeanie--nope no names I saw only public woohooed with unknown. And Jeanie is the only sim I have that has no modesty--she'll woohooo anyone anywhere for a buck.) I've, sadly, pulled Danny's girls to see if any unknowns are made without them around to blame it on. But, like I said, she's the only public woohooer around--so she must, therefore, be guilty (she only woohoos in public IF she can remain anonomous? :))

That's because these problems are with global bhavs, they can be called by any object in the game and if they are passed garbage data (like the same sim id twice) that is not filtered out you can end up with sim met self memories.
The additon to JM's fix that I posted specifically targets NPCs and sims working an NPC job in a business that could bypass JM's fix and still end up with the memory due to crappy code. There may be even more instances that could bypass global fix, but these should cover most of them.
ZephyrZodiac:
I also had to edit out a lot of unknown relationships, but in doing so it was fairly obvious that many sims did not have anything like the maximum number of possible relationships filled in. Out of a possible 400 or so, some had only 10 or 11, all of which were relationships with sims they had met. Others had the maximum, including the met self one, which I just deleted since I'd already dealt with the odd ones when I'd edited memories.
