Two questions: Chess table, Invisible sims (error log attached)

I am more worried about the option I get to "invite over" a sim who lives in the lot - my sims keep getting wants to invite their spouse or child over to the house, when all that needs to happen is for them to get home from work/school. Very odd. Again, this does not (so far) seem to cause problems. Anybody else seen this?
I've never seen this when a Sim is at home, but if they go to a community lot alone I've seen them want to invite a family member/housemate there -- and sometimes I do have them call them on the cell phone and invite them to the community lot, and them do show up.
Magicmoon:
I got that same error when I paused the game, then started moving the camera around to get just the right camera shot. I thought to myself. "Now there are rules as to how much I can look at my Sim?" Anyway, were you zooming in to see the players or did the error just randomly pop up?
notveryawesome:
If there is a walk-by (or even a stray?) on the lot, you'll get the 'say goodbye to everybody' option, even though the 'visitor' was not specifically invited.
Ellatrue:
I think it can count extra visitors even if the phone is only ringing, or if the computer is on but no one is using it. Can anyone else confirm/disprove this?
Count Four:
magicmoon-- No zooming, but several of the times this has come up, the game was running at triple speed. It hasn't popped up on me when the game was paused. So maybe the chess table error is a speed or camera thing... ???
notveryawesome and Ellatrue-- I've checked carefully on the goodbye thing because it comes up after 7p.m., when I'm merely trying to get the single guest off lot and get the family to bed. No walk-bys because of the time, no strays 'cause I don't have Pets. I even checked around for the penguin ;) but he wasn't around either.
No phone ringing. However, the computer was probably on, though nobody was using it.
jolrei-- I don't have Uni, so I don't have the non-playables residing onsite. I don't like abandoning the house but the lot is getting close to unplayable. The lag may not even have anything to do with the 'goodbye' thing, but it's just getting out of hand. It's doubly annoying because I've got larger lots with larger families in the same hood that play much faster than this one.
