Hunt complete. You were quite right, it turned out to be either one of djsims' hacks or someone called hardis. This will teach me to download things that look cool but aren't supported, I suspect. Anyhow, just wanted to thank for help and admit to my own cluelessness causing the bug.


In the case of non-awesome hacks, I always load them one at a time and test-play to see if they cause bugs that weren't there before.  That way, you can usually spot a conflict before you forget what the last thing you loaded was.

jsalemi:
I do something similar -- I put any new (non-awesome :) )hacks in a sub-directory called 'test', and give them a couple of playing sessions to see if they break anything. Once they check out, they get moved to the appropriate creator's sub-dir.

notveryawesome:
I do the same thing. I have a 'holding tank' that I put all new downloads in. Once they've passed the testing phase with no problems, they go in the appropriate subdirectory of my Downloads folder. When I had the 'stuck sim' problem, I had to use another sim to move out with the affected sim, and then move the both of them back into the lot. This was before the 'unfreeze stuck sim' option existed on the lot debugger.

ZephyrZodiac:
I think that option has been there for some time, but it only appears if a sim is actually stuck.  If a hack conflict is causing the problem, then unfreezing with the debugger would only work momentarily, as the conflict would just freeze them again.

One reason I don't play plantsims - they have a bad effect on portals......
