First Major Bug found with Pets
MistyBlue:
Well, some are just unfortunate and some just forget. I forgot to put my downloads folder back in before I started the game. ;D

I took out the entire neighborhoods folder plus any dls out including the dl folder, I installed into basically a stock game except my camera settings and the wants modification that I forgot to take out of FFS, I havent encountered any install issues, load issues or glitches...yet.
I thought the consensus after OFB was that you should leave your hoods in place so that the install can "update them".
If it needs to update them during the install and they are not there, you are basically stuffed.
I remember reading a huge, long, over-my-head, techie thread and coming out with that understanding.
Taking out hacks and downloads - yeah that makes sense, though RTFM for taking out the insiminator.

That is not the conclusion I support. If anything, you should take them OUT so the installer and loading-without-critical-CC part cannot fuck it up.

Well, damn my impatience, I ran out and bought it expecting some bugs, but I can't play it at all. Every time I go to a property all the windows, doors, and several other objects are sitting at an angle. When I try to pick them up and move them, I can't place anything. All my custom content didn't show up the first time I loaded, but now appears after I restarted, however, I can't buy anything. I can't place anything, it just shows the hand grabbing something but nothing is there, grrrrrr.
Ok, I had a well duh moment. Figured out what was causing my earlier problems, of course...a hack. If anyone else is silly like me and wants to try to play with their hacks, as I see at least a few do here, and are having the same problem...the hack causing this was a non-awsome hack "Atavera-AnimatedWindowHackv1.package". I also removed the few other hacks others have listed, but I'm having jumping issues too... you know how you can use move objects to take someone out of the pool and place them so it looks like they are swimming in the grass? Well, that's what my pets are doing. They pop up like normal when they are walking but when they stop they just drop back down. They won't eat either as the commands drop out of the queue (I know we can't command them, it's the ones it's making on it's own). About 80% of the things I try to command them to do get dropped out of queue or they jump. No phone calls, using the bathroom was a problem until I took out the custom toilet....sigh. I guess I will remove my whole folder and try it vanilla...bleh.
anyeone:
I moved the hacks that were supposedly error-likely into another folder (under The Sims 2 but NOT under downloads) and the game still picked them up! (I was still seeing naughty bits and the phone was wonky beyond belief)
Before I logged in the next time I moved that folder completely outside of the The Sims 2 path and then the hacks weren't in the game anymore.
However, I did experience the bug the OP reported. I just exited without saving. I'd never actually had that happen before so I was trying to figure out which mod I will want to fix it but I'm unclear as to whether JMP has upgraded it yet. If not, I shall be patient.
