Objects from Sims' inventory unable to cast shadows
ElviraGoth:
I don't use diagonal walls. Don't like them. They mess up my decorating schemes.
Have had a problem with a sofa once, where no one could sit on one of the cushions. And dining chairs get "occupied" occasionally, as well. I usually just sell them and buy new.
The first time I had an "in use" problem was with the dartboard in the Dreamer house. This was with the base game. No one could play darts because it supposedly was being played by someone, but there wasn't anyone there. That was when I started going to the official board, and found out I had to use moveobjects to get rid of it, since I couldn't sell it. Other little things got me looking around until I found VS and JM, and I followed him here because these people seem to know the most about this game.
I have had the shadow missing problem show up before (pre-moving with NL), also duplicate audio sounds and "missing hat" something or other. Also missing animations. Just from a few times checking my logs. I assume it happens if there's something your system doesn't have that is available, or if you have something turned off in your game settings. Are these things the cause of some of the glitches I get? Right now, I have a weird glitch when sims are studying. While they are holding the book, occassionally one hand and the book will "dip" down to their lap for a split second. Doesn't happen all the time, and will only happen in some dorms and regular neighborhood houses. One dorm may have it happen with everyone when they study, and another won't. One house has it, none of the others do. Can't pinpoint a cause - whether it's an object on the lot or something else.

I also have a wierd thing happen occasionally (only a couple of times so far) where it looks like a sim is in the bed, but there's no one there. The covers are heaped up like someone is in bed, and no one can use the bed (or that side of the bed, if it's a double).
I've had this problem on occasion too with the base game, prior to installing any expansion packs. I don't think it was ever fixed, because I still have it happen once in awhile. I think it might be related to invisible sims on the
Mom: "Little Johnny, it's past your bed time."
Little Johnny: "But I can't go to bed, Mom. My invisible friend is already sleeping there!"
The Sims 2 gets more lifelike every day. :D

Good one, Hook. I've thought that a time or two myself! ;D
That or the darn thing's haunted. Except I have no deaths in the hood yet, so no ghosts.
"I see dead people."
