child returns from school w/ teen, and other problems.
clem:
It's been a long while since I've had to post about a problem, but I'm flummoxed and I can't seem to find anything else here that describes the problem. I have a feeling that my neighborhood is heading for an implosion.
Problem 1: On two different lots, I have kids coming home from school with their teen siblings. This drops them a grade every time it happens.
Problem 2: I have a ghost who thinks he died of starvation, but he actually died of old age. One time I entered the lot and found his urn by the fridge, even though he had been dead for a good while already. Then he became very annoying and I had to strand him behind a moat.
They may been completely unrelated, but the problems have occurred on the same lot. Before you suggest it, I did bulldoze and rebuild completely.
Other information: No significant hacks other than stuff to make the game work, and everything I have came from here. I did DL Shaklin's Love Bed recently, but that would be no great loss if I had to get rid of it. I don't have Inteen, so this isn't the same situation as in the Jorenne/Bain thread. Also, I did grab the FFS patch. I have everything except the Holiday Pack and Glamour Life or whatever it is.
This is also an aging 'hood; I started it when OFB came out and the fourth generation is now starting to go to college. I would be sad to lose it, since it's my longest-running hood.
Any thoughts?
syberspunk:
About the child and teen thing, if you are using my combined version of the twojeffs school bus dialog hack and Pescado's nofrat hack, you should check the twojeffs' thread again. There were some bugs, so I fixed it and put up a newer version.
I also vaguely recall InTeen having an issue with this (I could be remembering incorrectly) but I think that was also fixed. Make sure the hacks that you do have are the most up to date for your EPs.

Thanks, but I don't have any of those hacks. That's why I'm puzzled.

Bulldoze/rebuild is usually the fix of last resort. The first thing you should have done is remove everything in the Downloads folder to some non-Sims folder somewhere on your hard drive just to be sure it isn't CC.

It is true that the InTeenimater (OFB Edition) suffered from this bug at one point. However, the bug actually originates in Maxis-developed code. Older versions of the InTeenimater were leaning on this broken functionality, which is why many perceived this to be strictly an InTeen thing. It is entirely possible that some other code (or mod) is tripping over this same bit of buggy code. If you are using the InTeenimater, you need only download the most current version. Do you have any "school-oriented" mods installed that are designed to trigger when a student returns home from school?
