Baby unselectable, will not grow up :(

Hook:
While this might be because of a  hack, I suspect it's an actual game bug.  There are a lot of actions that, if not terminated gracefully, will result in such weirdness as you describe.  It sounds like you got yourself into that kind of situation.

I go along with the other posters in suggesting you try forcing an error on the baby and resetting it, which may or may not work.  Deleting the baby with moveobjects on will almost certainly work.

aeslis:
Thank you everyone for your suggestions.  I did eye the 'force error' option but, being unsure what it did, I didn't want to play with it for fear of screwing up my game worse than it was.  I'll try some of these suggestions tomorrow when I can turn on the game and hopefully they'll work-- if they do, I'll let you all know. :)

Though one question:  I did, once upon a time, delete a person with moveobjects on, and the person just... didn't come back.  I'm not sure I tried to leave the lot, though, because it wanted me to save, of course, and I didn't want to do that without being sure I could get someone back-- so, just to verify, if you delete somebody, they'll be definitely there upon lot re-entry?

Yes, when you enter the lot the next time, the previously deleted Sim will be next to the mailbox (with motives refreshed to boot). Moveobjects doesn't delete Sims permanently.

Motoki:
Force error isn't nearly as bad as it sounds, if you choose the reset option it resets whoever or whatever to their normal original state and can often fix some serious problems. Actually, the game will reset sims on its own if the run into problems, it's just that without testingcheatsenabled on, you won't see it other than maybe noticing a little jump.

You could have used it as a decoration or something. Maybe place it on a coffee table next to a bowl of fruit?  :D
