Kyna:
A while back I downloaded the gender reversed PV, and used SimPE to change all the first names of every character (e.g. Dustin became Dusty, Abhijeet became Abigail, etc). This was before I knew that SimPE doesn't change the name everywhere. I noticed that when I got errors in the game - which were unrelated - the error messages referred to the sim by the original name.

Gender-reversed PV? Where does one get that? (And are there any caveats not mentioned wherever you get it?)

Saving the lot and exiting while a sim is on a cell phone corrupts the lot and you'll never be able to enter it again. (Has Maxis ever even tried to fix this?)
I doubt they can. It doesn't happen consistently and it doesn't leave any traceable error log to examine. It just goes BOOM for no reason, and you're going to have to jump!

Something I've noticed occasionally when I reenter a lot I haven't played in a long time is that there will be an extra Sim on the lot, usually in some odd place. I remember once saving a lot when two Sims were talking to the same Sim on the phone at the same time and when I reentered the lot that Sim was on the lot instead of on the phone. I suspect that a Sim who has been called on the phone will be teleported to the lot. If the random teleport destination is invalid, I can see why this would crash the game.
It's been a long time since I saved a game when a Sim was talking on the phone.
