Could it have anything to do with the fact that maybe when I downloaded the family from a friend (he was a teen then) maybe it glitched or something?
Yes, that causes glitches, although not this specific one. Downloading a family with a house and installing them into a different neighborhood will cause many problems, and the more often you do it, the more likely it is that the neighborhood will break and become entirely unusable. Sims should only be shared as Body Shop templates, not moved with a house.
One of the principal commandments of the awesome, I believe - Thou shalt not transfer sims, families, or occupied lots from one neighbourhood to another neighbourhood, yea even those made by thy closest friend, lest thy hood be destroyed and become as a ball of fire, visible even unto the furthest stars.

First, thanks Pescado for pointing out the fix. I've had this issue a couple times, oddly both with Sim Trepie. Both times forcing errors on on-and-off world fixed it, but it's a pain in the ass.
Second, this tangent actually relates to something I've been meaning to ask for a long time. In general, I hate TSR, but I do like one thing of theirs: Challenges. They are loads of fun. However, they involve installing a simpack of an occupied lot. Now, far as I can tell the sims aren't carrying memories of other sims. But installing the simpack would end in the sim & lot being in every 'hood's catalog. So this means gunk clogging all my 'hoods and possible issues down the road if I just delete them. Sure, I could Deleted 2 them, but that takes effort. Is there a way to split the sim(s) and house of an occupied lot and install them separately, therefore placing the sim directly into the target 'hood and no other?
syberspunk:
Well, you could do it the long way:
Create a separate account (assuming you are running WinXP). Install the lot on that account. Use SimPE to extract the sims. Go to your regular account and game. Stick the extracted sim files in your Downloads or PackagedSims or whatever that folder is called that Body Shop creates. Re-create the sims in CAS.
Now... I'm not sure... but I think the Clean Installer actually lets you pick and choose what things to install from a sim2pack file. So, theoretically, you could just select the sims. And... I think (again, not sure), this would be like installing a custom sim, which again, you would have to re-create in CAS. So, you shouldn't get the memories, relationships, etc.
Also... again, not sure... but I think Pescado said it is "safe" to delete sim household lots in the lotbin, if they haven't already interacted with any pre-existing sims, which should be the case, since it would've been a family you installed, and thus never existed in your game before. Worst case scenario, try it out on a separate account first. See if you get any duplicate character files in SimPE.

Well, that's not entirely true. Cwykes builds hoods with sims, plays the sims to a certain point, and then takes the time and effort to make sure that said hoods are squeaky clean before sharing them with all of us. She is clearly awesome, as her work is hosted on the MATY server. So, if one really wants to share a sim or even an entire hood full of sims one can do so safely. I am certain that it takes a huge amount of effort, however.
Marhis:
Sharing a whole hood is safe, it's the export/import of single lots with families that is not.
