Unageing people and maid species?
PlickaPlicka:
OK I've been having a bit of trouble with my game.
It all started when I loaded up veronaville for the first time and started playing on the Capp family with loads of children. I had boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true on and decided to "preserve" the two youngest by spawning Rodney's death creator and killing the child by drowning and the toddeler by being crushed by satalite. I was having a small bit of trouble controlling them so I planned to ressurect them using the Grim Reaper phone later on in the game.
After that wierd things started happening. When I tried to hire a maid on of those debug boxes came up saying "invalid species" or something like that. And the woman would automaticly put down her cell phone (boolProp testingCheatsEnabled trued given phone by the way). I could not hire a maid even with boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true off. After a while of meaningless gameplay I notised that none of my sims were aging, I tried the agesimscheat on cheat but it didn't work. Another strange thing was that every night the toddeler I killed would come up in one of those boxes saying she's died somewhere and her spirit would return to the place she was killed, her tombstone never moved.
When I decided to move house, I ressurected the two children, turned boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true off and moved them out.
When I got to the new house I clicked on the todeler, whilst controlling her and for some reason it said "set age", I'd never seen this before so I clicked it and then clicked on elder. I did this for the newly ressurected child as well. They both became elders and at 18:00 nobody aged again! I then promptly turned boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true back on and killed them with flies.
Any idea how I can hire a maid and start them aging normally again?
Thanks
Edit: The only hacks/mods I have installed are inteen, zombie apocalypse, fight club, Realistic diseases. I have no patches installed, all EPs up to Pets and no stuff packs

Someone can stop me if I'm wrong, but I always thought that killing toddlers and children was a VBT. The game, while allowing for social worker takeaways, does not autonomously allow for babies, todders, or children to die. Consequently, artificially inducing the death of these characters may be the source of problems. This is a bit more than a guess, but perhaps someone else can confirm.
PlickaPlicka:
I'm not sure about the babies and tods but children have been allowed to die haven;t they? Or else why would you get a special message from the grim when you try to ressurect a child saying "I love children, I'll make sure the ressurection goes well". Possibly killing the tod did it... but why would it stop me having a maid, stop aging and make on saying that the todeler had died somewhere elsebut she hadn't?
LFox:
I'm almost positive children and toddlers cannot be killed ESPECIALLY toddlers, did you know their fireproof? And if you forcibly kill them you can probably get problems exactly like you got, things explode, fires start and next thing you know hippies are running around your neighbourhoods.
Probably a general rule to this stuff is if the game doesn't support it without cheats and hacks don't do it. Moving in the grim reaper can cause really bad stuff too from what i hear.
Soylent Sim:
Children are killable. Toddlers aren't in-game, but simply giving them a "dead" token shouldn't damage anything too badly. Toddler ghosts or crushing a toddler under a satellite might not be the best moves, but they don't sound like they'd muck everything up that deeply.
The maid, unfortunately, won't resolve herself in game. This was a major issue in pre-patch Pets, where species code was incorrectly written for service NPC's. Changing her species in SimPE might work, Deleted2-ing her definitely will, otherwise you need to find a way to kill a sim who won't show up on a lot. And if you're running Pets, do patch ASAP.
Finally, RTFB! The only support we officially give for inteen issues here is to suggest removing it.
