Oh, the cell phone. *whew!* Haven't done that.
As for the first names in SimPE thing... So it's not a game-breaker, just an annoying little thing?

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.
The reason this happens is because if you saved while a sim was "off lot", such as on the phone (cell or not), and something has caused a world or partial reset (such as a patch), everyone will be reset, and off-lot sims respawn in the middle of the lot when this happens.
Hook:
One of us is confused.
If a lot gets reset while a Sim is off at work, for example, that Sim ends up back on the lot.
If a Sim is talking to someone on the phone, it's possible that the phoned Sim will show up on the lot. It's been over 2 years ago so I can't confirm it, but I believe this was without a reset. Whatever the problem was, I figured it wasn't such a good idea, so didn't save when Sims were on the phone after that, at least on purpose. :)

The Ottomas brokenness, however, actually damages data integrity.
How? I still don't understand how that's different than a sim that has an affair so the parent is not the 2nd adult in the household? I dumped the Ottomas', they're ugly anyway, but I've got lots of simmies born on the wrong side of the blanket.
The thing is, the affair-spawn's fathers are at least human (or servo or alien); the ottomas babies can have pets, NPCs with incomplete DNA, or certain objects for fathers, and then the DNA is all borked with garbage data. I mean, it's one thing to have Momma cheating on Daddy with Mr. Handsome, it's another to have her have a kid with the Attackbot some random person built.
Insanity Prelude:
Not that that wouldn't make for some pretty interesting, if disgusting, storylines. ::)
Which NPCs have incomplete DNA, anyway? (So I know which ones to avoid, as I don't know how to fix them.)
