Would it be possible to add a 'cancel adoption' option to the Debugger? I had a stuck phone where the sim would pick up the handset and replace it without calling anyone (I was trying to get her to phone the repairman) I finally forced error on the phone ( I don't think that fixed anything) then deleted and replaced it with a new one. It was the only phone on lot, no cellphones. I then tried 'call>service' again and it immediately popped up 'your request to adopt has been approved, blah, blah.' I don't want this kid!
Try disintegrating the NPC schedulers? There's an option for nuking them in the Lot Debugger. If this doesn't work, don't save, and give me an error log of anything after the attempt.

I can enter Build/Buy with no problems, and also alt/tab no problems. The lag is such that the sims instead of walking around normally, walk in jerky, slow movements. Not as slow as trying to use the video option set too high, but slower than normal and extremely annoying to watch. It's not like the lag when two sims decide to go and water-balloon fight, which once they get outside and start the fight there aren't any more problems, it's just constant jerkiness, and it can happen in a family of one, or as in the present lot, a family of five or more. Mouse control is unaffected, and about the only thing that is odd is that sims running under instructions from the sleep clock or BUY are fine, so it is walking and not running that seems to be affected.
I've never heard of a "walking lag" bug. Does it actually affect game performance, or does it seem like those sims are "ice skating"? Ice-skating can sometimes be fixed by Force Error, or you can try seeing if the "Funky Walk" fix attempt is still in the Lot Debugger somewhere.

I've tried moving families to a brand-new lot, and sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Some families unaffected in their original house suddenly get affected when they move up the property ladder. And it can't be a RAM problem as I upgraded to two gigs, and this hood at present is only using about 600 MB (including all the Windows use and my AV - which I have to leave running as I have the online version of Seasons.)
Aha! You has a spyware problem! Get the ARRficial version of it instead, ditch the spyware.

You mean Maxis (I mean EA) is causing this to happen? If so, they will certainly hear from me!!! I got the download for Pets originally, as at the time I had no dvd drive on this PC, and the CD was unavailable in Europe and I couldn't buy it from Amazon.com due to your country's rather wierd technology export laws. Then, when Seasons was due, it meant waiting about another 2-3 weeks for Seasons over here, so I just got the download again! Well, the easy answer to that one is I shall just wait for the new EP to come out over here and get the dvd (since I now have a dvd drive) and then I shouldn't have any further problems - once I find the little menace and get rid of it for good! I would imagine the spyware is in EA Link and not Seasons, so it should then be easy to get rid of it! It's been nothing but a nightmare anyway - it's forever going wrong, like every time they upgrade the darn thing (and you can't not upgrade) it messes up everything and you can't access your program key - which is the only reason you need the Link.
Until the new EP comes out over here, I shall just soldier on - but if I know which file is the spyware I can at least remove it once my game has loaded.
JM, if you're right, and I think you probably are, since this problem started with Pets, then I am truly grateful!

Hi all! I finally decided to post here again, and I admit it was totally out of self-interest!
Welcome back, ZZ! You've been missed. 8)
ZephyrZodiac:
Thanks! I have been around, you know (and not invisible) I just haven't been posting, or really reading posts unless they were to do with new hacks or updates. As I said above, self interest has brought me back.....at least I'm honest! ::) But it's nice to be back and seeing what's going on.
