One of my favorite Sims is Fubared
C.S.:
Or try what Ari above said, use Inge's Teleporters from Beau's lot to move in Penelope, but make a backup first in case that fubar Beau too. After Penelope's moved in, exit then re-enter to see if the lot's still freezing up because she's on it. If it doesn't, then proceed to move Kaylynn onto a lot of her own and see if you can play Kaylynn just fine. I suggest moving Kaylynn onto her own lot first because sometimes, the game doesn't seem to register when a sim has moved out even though they've been moved onto a lot from the Family Bin. Then play both lots for a few sim days to make sure everything's okay. If none of that works, restore the backup before trying the Teleporters, then decide which is less painful - restoring the backup made before their graduation or recreating Penelope like Motoki suggested.

It worked!
So far, that is. :P
I won't get to play the houses for a few Sim days until tomorrow (decorating new houses takes me a bit of time, cough, alone, before we can play)...but so far, so good.
To start, my last attempt to move Kaylynn and Penelope into a house had apparently "worked". When I went back in today (after a few days watching DVR) they were there, and the lot didn't freeze when I went in. That was it though. Their want slots spun, and spun, and spun and...you get the idea. Never stopped.
SO, because I read CuriousSpurious's instructions backwards ::) , I used Inge's shrub to move Penelope in with Beau.
And she was normal! (to alll first appearances and a few minutes of play)
Went back into the lot with just Kaylynn, now she was still FUBARd with spinning want slots...moved her out, and then moved her back in again...and normal (to all first appearances and a few minutes of play).
Oh, thank you all. Fingers crossed, I'll report back tomorrow that all is well after more play.
*kiss*

Okay, I couldn't wait. I kicked the kids off the computer and played this afternoon.
Penolope plays fine. :D
Here's what's odd about her, and what must have (call me Monk) made her all screwy... she graduated from University twice. She has two memories (Suma Cum and just Cum) and her family members have two memories of her graduating as well.
Beau who (as another poster pointed out) went thru the same Groundhog Day glitch, only has one.
This game is something else, isn't it? Anyway, I don't really want to muck about in SimPE deleting memories, but if someone More Awesome Than I thinks I should as a prophylactic measure, let me know. (And any idiot's tips for same would be appreciated.)
Thanks!!

I'm wondering if mobile phones might have caused your original problem. If so, then replaying from your most recent pre-glitch back-up would probably make everything run smoothly. It's also worth using TwoJeffs graduationNoMoveOut fix and MoveOutControllerResetter from MTS2 rather than the FFS debugger - but then remove them from your game as I found they do cause problems if you want to move out a neighbourhood sim - and remember, never EVER save your game if someone's using a mobile!

Oh, ZZ, all the reading I did before installing Uni recently, and I completely forgot the instruction not to save while using a mobile phone. Betcha dollars to donuts that's what I did as I'm a very zealous saver. (I have performance glitches which i've given up trying to track down, so I compensate by saving frequently, never knowing when my next crash/game freeze is going to happen.)
I have so much game play between my last backup and Penelope's FUBAR that I'm going to throw caution to the wind and not go that far back. When I'm crying a week from now, you can point and laugh...most likely you'd try to help me but you can point and laugh if you want.
List of things to do:
1. Never save while using a cell phone
2. Download TJ's move out fix, just in case again
3. Download MTS2 move out fix, just in case again
Cell phones! *bangs head*
Thanks.
