I usually use the Lot Debugger, but that resets all the Sims on the lot, even the ones you don't want reset, such as toddlers with stuck Smart Milk.

If the Sims doing the "jumping" are kids, yes, that's a known bug, and over 50% of the people who bothered to respond to the thread last time the question was asked admitted to having it.

Not sure if I've seen the "gliding."  Can you describe the circumstances?

Yes, I like to stick one on a Community Lot for instant dates...  Don't know how it would work without NL tho.

Lol, dirty dogs disappear! 

I have this problem sporadically.  I think the sadorandom number generator is involved, because it's always the kids I want to go to college that aren't available. 

I use syberspunk's Grow Up hack.  Have one Uni student invite the Townie teen to visit their residence, then ask them to "Grow Up."  Presto, instant Dormie!  You even get the aspiration points for wants such as "X goes to college."  You can then let them sit in the Dormie pool or invite them to move in with you. 

Varioussimmers used to have a collection of "unlocked" outfits.  The main purpose was to allow you to skin those meshes.  Pink maid uniform, anyone?

What happens if you try to change appearance with a mirror?

I'm not quite awake, so I'm not thinking of everything at once.

Needs a bright red ruffly pirate style shirt, but yes, those are Veronaville pants!

I'll keep this hood around in case you want me to test anything else!

Otherwise, I'll probably just make the Dormie playable and run them through college the normal way.  I do suppose that a Sim might not meet The One until after he graduates and actually need to do the Grow Up thing...

Do you have The Patch?  (Not that I'm recommending it if you don't, just asking...) The only thing I can think of is that you've somehow lost the gray "overlay" that elder dogs get.

Oh, yeah!  My elder Sims get more "bed time" than their kids!

Ok, these are the first screen shots of a Townie with the problem (wrong hair color)... so far it's only been reported with NPCs and born in game toddlers!

Every now and then I forget which name I intended the couple to have, so the "wrong" Sim does the proposing and the couple gets the other name.

Ziggy, do you have the traditional marriage hack?  I'd be more concerned about the relative married want not fullfilled part than the name...

Once my Sims have all their skills and are at the top of their jobs, they spend most of their time in (Macrotastics) Power Idle.  That seems to keep them from following each other around unless ACR kicks in and they run to the bedroom or the hot tub for a WooHoo.

When you open up a 'hood in SimPE, there's a resource "IDNO" that seems to contain the neighborhood number. I can't tell if you need to change that number or not, and neither can anyone I've talked to.

The "unholy hybrid" is a patched Pets installation with either the unpatched exe or a Pets noCD crack over top.

Not if your phones are corrupt.  I'd try selling and rebuying them before your Sims need to use them for something important.

I've never had an ugly born in game Sim.  Of course, now I've cursed myself and my twin boys who were adorable babies/toddlers/children and are quite handsome teens will become grotesque when they go to college.  Maybe I better get them some girlfriends now!

Um, you never thought of reinstalling up to OFB and leaving Pets off your lap top?  That way your sisters could still play with the Pets cd and you'd have everything else...

Wrong.  You have to answer Yes in order to get the Graduated memory and the Completed memory for the 3 previous years.  If you read the paragraph before the one you quoted, you'd see that No does not produce the Graduated memory and the poor Sim is left with 4 wants and 1 lock.  It's currently a choice of evils here... and forgetting your entire college experience except graduation is less evil than not remembering graduation!

This is the situation I have been attempting to describe periodically for weeks.  I now have systematic data to define the problem for syberspunk so he can fix it, either in Grow Up or in Move In.

 
Janice and Blanca retain their memories of "Mystery Sim."  I suspect it's because Paula was the only one engaged to the "asker" before the Move In request.

I'll keep this hood around a few days in case syberspunk wants more data, then delete it.  I've got a couple Sims here more borked than I like!

Let me go in and look at the memories with SimPE.  I saved one of my moved-in exDormies, so she's toast for purposes of this experiment and I'll have to reproduce her.  Fortunately, she was the one asked to grow up by a Dropout.

Yes, YA's can ask each other to Grow Up.   

I have plenty of current dormies so I can experiment with simply asking them to move in.  I also saved (and quit) between the Ask to Grow Up and the Propose... Move In so I could look at them with SimPE.  Didn't think to actually look at the memories...


Ok... I've got complete results, including memory checks with SimPE.  These are my 4 scenarios:

1) Donna Dropout went to college for long enough to meet a YA named Marshall.  She then dropped out.
2) Sidney Scrapingby went to college and met a YA named Janice.  He graduated, but not with any sort of Honors.
3) Major CumLawde went to college.  First he asked a YA named Paula to grow up.  He also met a YA named Blanca.  He graduated with a 4.0 average.

Back in town, Donna asked Marshall to Grow Up.  Sidney asked Janice to Grow Up. Major asked Blanca to grow up.  We now have 4 "grown up" Dormies ready to move in.  All saved and quit the game to take notes on the current memories with SimPE.

1) Marshall (asked to grow up by adult Donna Dropout).  Marshall's adult (but not moved in) memories from SimPE included Fell in Love with Donna, Best Friends with Donna, WooHoo with Donna, First WooHoo with Donna, Made Out with Donna, Met (one of Donna's housemates), Grew Up Well, Kissed Donna, Met (Dormies), Went to College, Kissed Mystery Sim, First Kiss with Mystery Sim, Best Friend with Mystery Sim, Met Mystery Sim. 

After being asked to Move In and answering No to the erase memories dialog, Marshall had an X over his YA stage (not a Dropout mark) and added the memories for "(housemates) Joined Family."  No other changes to his memories.  Quit without Saving.

After being asked to Move In and answering Yes to the erase memories dialog, Marshall had an X over his YA stage and lost all memories except Went to College, Kissed Mystery Sim, First Kiss with Mystery Sim, Best Friend with Mystery Sim, Met Mystery Sim.  At the time I thought, dang, what stupid memories to keep... more on that subject under Major and Paula.

From this, I conclude that Dropouts should not ask YAs to Grow Up, since it leaves them in an undefined state regarding their college careers.  No, I didn't think to try the Lot Debugger to see if he could be repaired that way. 

I also noticed that Deloris, a previous victim of this portion of the experiment via Duddly Dropout, was still on campus wearing her adult outfit when I moved Donna into the dorm to drop out.  Yet another reason not to let Dropouts ask YAs to Grow Up.

2) Janice, asked to Grow Up by non-honors graduate Sidney.  Janice's adult memories pre-Move In were Best Friend with Sidney, Grew Up Well, Met (Townies), WooHoo with Sidney, First WooHoo with Sidney, Made Out with Sidney, First Kiss with Sidney, Met (Dormies), Met Sidney, Went to College, Kissed Mystery Sim, First Kiss with Mystery Sim, Best Friends with Mystery Sim, Met Mystery Sim.

After being asked to Move In and answering No to the erase memories dialog, Janice had no mark on her YA stage.  She added the memory Sidney Joined the Family.  No Graduation memory.  Everything else was unchanged.  Quit without Saving.

After being asked to Move In and answering Yes to the erase memories dialog, Janice had no mark on her YA stage.  She gained the memories Graduated, Completed Junior Year, Completed Sophmore Year, Completed Freshman Year.  She lost all the other memories except Went to College, Kissed Mystery Sim, First Kiss with Mystery Sim, Best Friends with Mystery Sim, Met Mystery Sim. 

3) Blanca, asked to Grow Up by honors graduate Major.  Blanca's adult memories pre-Move In were Fell in Love with Major, Best Friends with Major, Grew Up Well, Kissed Major, Met (Dormies), Met Major, Went to College, Kissed Mystery Sim, First Kiss with Mystery Sim, Best Friends with Mystery Sim, Met Mystery Sim.

After being asked to Move In and answering No to the erase memories dialog, Blanca had no mark on her YA stage (Major has a star, because he graduated with honors).  No Graduation memory.  She added the memory Major Joined the Family.  Everything else was unchanged.  Quit without Saving.

After being asked to Move In and answering Yes to the erase memories dialog, Blanca had no mark on her YA stage.  She gained the memories Graduated, Completed Junior Year, Completed Sophmore Year, Completed Freshman Year.  She lost all the other memories except Went to College, Kissed Mystery Sim, First Kiss with Mystery Sim, Best Friends with Mystery Sim, Met Mystery Sim. 

From cases 2 & 3, I conclude that Grown Up Dormies should answer Yes to the Move In dialog to finish populating their memories, although I'd rather keep the memories of their relationship with the person with whom they're Moving In.  Or is this a bug in the Move In dialog?

4) Paula, asked to Grow Up by an undergraduate Major.  Paula's adult memories, pre-Move In, were Met (Dormies), Engaged to Major, Grew Up Well, Fell in Love with Major, Kissed Major, Met (Dormies), Best Friends with Major, Met Major, Went to College, Kissed Mystery Sim, First Kiss with Mystery Sim, Best Friends with Mystery Sim, Met Mystery Sim.

After being asked to Move In and answering No to the erase memories dialog, Paula had an X over her YA stage and added the memory for "Major Joined Family."  No other changes to her memories.  Quit without Saving.

After being asked to Move In and answering Yes to the erase memories dialog, Paula had an X over her YA stage and lost all memories except Went to College, Kissed Major, First Kiss with Major, Best Friend with Major, Met Major.  Yes, Mystery Sim was replaced by Major, her fiance!  I'm pretty sure it's the Mystery Sim memories being replaced because they were before Went to College in the time sequence, but I doubt that can be verified.

From this, I conclude that undergraduate YAs should not ask YAs to Grow Up, since it leaves them in an undefined state regarding their college careers.  No, I didn't think to try the Lot Debugger to see if she could be repaired that way. 

I'm going to go check Janice and Blanca's memories and see if the vestigial Mystery Sim memories were replaced by boyfriend memories.

"Holes" can be fixed by placing a 1x1 lot at the edges and slowly working in, so I'd assume you could do that with these "spires," too. 

However, I suspect you were trying something like that, since the screen shots seem to show a large lot in the process of being placed.

Patch evil. No patch.
Hacks good.  Lots of hacks.

RAR'ed and deleted, thanks Jordi!

I want Townies, just not ugly ones, so I did what Eleonora said.  If I didn't want any, I'd use my handy backpack neutron bomb...

Now I'm down to the Roseland and Crittur Pets families...
