College Move Out
J. M. Pescado:
Can anyone confirm the existence of this as a bug: College student calls "Move Back To Neighborhood", picks up phone, dials, hangs up, nothing happens: No dialog, no message. If this can be confirmed as a widespread bug, I've worked out a fix for this. It is somewhat of a mystery why it happens, though.

Yes, it's connected somehow to the cell phone - if the sim has a cell phone, this ritual happens quite a lot, not only in "move out", but many other callings.
In this case, I order him to call through the cell phone, and the "adult animation" appears. Same in the other occasions.

As I already posted in another topic, I had this happen. Posting information about it in this topic, in case one little piece of this is relevant.
The student in question (a former dormie, made playable) was in residential housing before I installed Pets. She didn't finish college until after I installed Pets. She was the only one residing at the lot at the time. Her fiancee, Dirk Dreamer, had invited her to move in, and had graduated before I installed Pets.
I tried "nuke stuck moveout" on the lot debugger - it said it nuked one stuck move out, but did not fix the problem. Option then disappeared from the lot debugger.
She had a cellphone, but I was using the fixed phone to move out. I never use cell phones for anything other than socialising.
I ended up moving her out on the neighbourhood screen, then moving her back in to the same lot. She was then able to graduate. I assumed that since this fixed it, that the installation of Pets had somehow buggered up the uni features of the lot.
All my hacks were updated for Pets at the time. When I was trying to fix this I quit the game, and reupdated my hacks in case any had become out of date.

I just had this happen last night. I have three dorms, and this was the third dorm. Students moved back ok in the other two, but I couldn't get anyone to call/moveout in the third dorm.
I tried the stuck moveout on the lot debugger, and it said it fixed 3 objects, but they still couldn't call. I checked here, and there was a brand new (11/17) version of the phonehack in the director's cut, so I downloaded it. When I went to exit the game prior to installing the hack, I got the "Application will now terminate" message and crashed to desktop.
I put in the new phonehack - nothing else - went back into the dorm, and they were able to call and move out. So my guess is it was something you changed in the last phonehack update that fixed it. Either that, or just exiting and restarting reset something.

I had a variation of this last night (first time I had someone graduate since installing Petz). Four sims in a greek house, two graduate on the same day. He can move out fine, but when she calls to move out, the game crashes to the desktop about 1/2-way through her call. Doesn't matter if she calls from her cell or from the house phone. I even tried deleting her, saving and reloading, and that didn't fix it.
So I started thinking about what changed about her, and remembered she bought a new custom shirt during that semester and was wearing it. Had her change to a different shirt, and she was able to move out just fine. Not sure why this happened -- maybe the mesh of the shirt was causing a problem with the game's choose-clothing routines, or maybe even with the clothing tool. IAC, I got her out finally. Oh, and I did use the lot debugger to nuke the stuck moveouts before moving them out.
