Undefined Transition
ElfPuddle:
If it is caused by your deletion of Vidcund's abduction (and that sounds plausible to me), then all I can think of is either a move-out/in or re-install.
Move out and then in, one or more brothers. If that doesn't work, then re-install the house, the neighborhood, or (worst case) the game. That doesn't sound like fun, but it would work.

ZephyrZodiac:
Well, a reinstall would not be necessary at all. If the worst happens and you can't correct the problem, all you need to do in order to have a playable Strangetown is to delete the current version, rename the Sims 2 folder to something else, such as sims 2 X, and load your game. A complete set of Maxis hoods will be generated, and you can then move the Strangetown folder into your Sims2 X folder, delete the rest of the new set (or move it somewhere and keep it for later) and remove the X from the sims 2 folder name. You will then have a new Strangetown to start playing.
Now, there are alternatives to deleting the telescope, such as making it inaccessible, and maybe that would save Vidcund from the abduction scenario - but whatever you decide to do, back up the hood first!

I already had moved them all out and tried to move them back in...it didn't work. I have successfully moved Pascal and Lazlo in with Jenny, and they are functioning just fine--apparently the sim, not the house, lot or family, is corrupt. I put down a small empty lot and tried to move Vidcund in there. The problem continues. I'd rather delete the file entirely than reinstall at this point--they are my least-played family and I have invested hours into the neighborhood. I have attached the error message generated in the new lot, although to my inexperienced eyes, I don't see much difference with the first one.
Ancient Sim:
You could clone Vidcund and re-establish all his relationships, but by far the easiest way would have been to let the abduction go ahead, then simply abort the pregnancy. You could also have got rid of the memories of the abduction in SimPE if you'd wanted to.
I take it you have something against aliens? We're not that bad really, you know.
ZephyrZodiac:
I'm not much good at reading error logs either. I imagine that you tried resetting him?
Deleting Vidcund will cause a fair number of problems which you would have to deal with in simPE, such as memories, SWAFs etc. Before you do any of that, I would suggest that you check all his data in SimPE to see if something is odd, as for instance he is marked as unlinked when he should be linked.
You could also try moving him into a completely different empty lot and see if he still malfunctions.
Incidentally, when I played Strangetown, I didn't let the abduction go ahead, I sold the telescope and bought them a cheap on, and nothing untoward happened. This really makes me think thatmaybe the lot itself is corrupted.
If you haven't done so already, try deleting the groups.cache file from your Sims2 folder in My Docs. The game will then generate a new one, which may clear up the problem.
