B0rked Maxis Glasses (just one pair, crashes game, added pictures)
Sleepycat:
I've been following this ;D I just can't help :P

Tried loading up the actual game (I'd done all my isolation testing in Body Shop), first by creating a new user login for a totally clean game (everything worked), then by pulling everything BUT accessories from Downloads in my normal game for loading speed and checking to see whether I got the same results in-game as in Body Shop, which I did.
Pictures demonstrating the fact that some pairs of the glasses work and some are now appearing on Sims without crashing the game but are still screwed up:

Seriously, WTF? *goes back to weeding through goddamn accessories* I'm still cranky about the Peggy earrings. Wonder if it's fixable.

got it largely narrowed down to a group of earrings from PeggySims that I've had pretty much as long as I've had any custom content in the first place. I'm not happy to probably be losing my peacock feather earrings
I had a problem with maxis glasses a long time ago (around nightlife or OFB), some were showing as blue flashing squares, and I did find that the problem was some peggy earrings, peacock feather to be exact..... Don't know if it is the same earrings you have, but I would try to take them our first, just to see if it is the same problem I had.

Okay, I'm officially confused.
I cannot reproduce the problem in a totally clean game on a separate Windows login (a game that has never had any custom content in it ever). However, I cannot completely eliminate the problem by removing both Downloads and SavedSims from my normal game.
In any game in which the problem occurs at all, a total of 3 pairs of Maxis glasses are affected -- every pair which uses the mesh pictured and has black frames. I do not think that either of the pairs which have frames of a different color have ever shown up broken, even though they use the same mesh.
During the same CAS session (and thus obviously during the same game session and with exactly the same custom content or lack of custom content installed), if I cancel the Sim I was creating and start over, the results will be different -- sometimes all of the glasses will work, sometimes all 3 black-framed pairs will be broken, and sometimes only 1 or 2 of them will be broken and the rest will be working just fine.
In fact, I have taken a screenshot of one Sim wearing working glasses, and another Sim wearing the broken version of the exact same pair, standing next to each other in front of the CAF backdrop (enlarged to triple size so you can see the broken-ness in front of the also-black backdrop).

I think I'll just give up, unless anyone else has any suggestions. At least I've managed to eliminate the actual game-crashing, which does indeed appear to have been caused by the Peggy earrings.

Questions:
Is CAS in debug mode or not?
Do you have any of the Maxis crap hider mods?
