I've always downloaded the newest awesomeness before playing.  This time it was the non-awesome hacks that did it.  Although the most recent error after having ONLY awesome hacks is this:

Object id: 1258
name: Flower - Craftable - Snap Dragon Bouquet
Stack size: 4
Error: No stack object present when required.

Furthermore my sims seemingly continue to regenerate their portraits without any prompting from me.  Originally this seemed to be a sim reset issue, but the sims are not resetting now.  They go about their autonomous actions and then POOF!  their portrait changes.

Thanks guys.  I did have nopedostalkers installed so that may have been it.  I've removed all hacks and everything seems to be working fine so I'll simply add as the all-clear is given.

EDIT:  Kyna, the way I read twojeff's list is those are the broken mods he has listed.  Is that correct?  If that is the case then that explains some things as well since all of his mods that I had installed were on that list.

I am getting the following error message in my main household.  I have every EP and SP installed.  I am using "awesome" hacks.  The non-awesome hacks I'm using are some OFB related ones from Squinge and a couple others from TwoJeffs.

I am using the latest version and the tai chi controller is not being correctly proscribed.  Sims will continue to autonomously perform Tai Chi.

This means that the Ninja, Tour Guides, and Charlatans could be called on the telephone, pre-patch, if your OFB sim had the Head for Numbers perk.  One of my sims did have this perk and I could see about 14 charlatans, 15 ninja, etc that I could call.  I never called them  though as I knew they were not real NPC's and thus could not be interacted with normally as a townie could be.  But apparently games crashed if you decided to go ahead and call one of these "vacation service NPC's".

I've noticed that as well.  Makes vacations a real pain when all their needs decay so rapidly.
