Just remember in the middle of the word "separate" is "a rat".  Then, you'll always know how to spell separate. 

Thank you syberspunk and Avalikia for your input and trying to help me.  I do use TwoJeffs' Visitor Controller.  But I don't ban visitors.  I just ban the silly Streakers, cheerleaders, etc.  I do ban Professors, also.  But I don't think that has anything to do with it.  I was having this (dramafix) problem before I ever put TwoJeffs' Visitor Controller in my game.

There is just one version of Monique's work hack as far as I know.  I've been using it (with University) for ages.

Syberspunk, in your reply you say that, essentially no matter what I do, there is no way to rule out the possibility of Maxian sadorandomness.  I think it would be a losing propostion for me to spend any time trying to figure out what might be causing this to happen.  Because it can always be said that my testing hasn't ruled out the possibility of Maxian sadorandomness.     I hope you can understand that I don't want to put in hours and hours of testing only to be told that I can't rule out the possibility of Maxian sadorandomness.  (No sarcasm intended).   

In the mean time, I will just have to avoid enrolling my Young Adults in the Drama Major.  Heck, I just want to play the Sims2 and have fun...!   

Thanks for all your suggestions, syberspunk.  It's really appreciated.

1.  I only have University installed.

2.  When a sim walks by,  I greet them as quickly as it takes to cancel out working on a skill and getting outside.  Pretty normal gameplay, right?

3.  When they leave, under these circumstances, they do not have thought bubbles about their needs.

4.  I don't invite sims over really late.  In fact, I rarely ever iinvite sims over unless I want them to fall in love and get married to the sim I'm currently playing.  Or if I want to get two teens to get the dancing scholarship.  I keep relationships up using the phone.

5.  You are correct in assuming that this on a residential lot.

6.  I  currently have 75 hacks in my Downloads folder, of which, 41 are by J.M. Pescado, 24 are by TwoJeffs, and there are 10 others.  They are:

     --  Jenflower's:  "homeworksometimesfasterfun"

     --  LizzLove's:    "no-privacy"
     --  LizzLove's:    "no-jealousy-at-all"

     --  Monique's:    "No_Spoiled_Food"
     --  Monique's:    "Work_Bring_Friend_Dialog"

     --  Inge Jones':  "Crib Sleep thru Night"
     --  Inge Jones':  "Aspiration Flamingo (set to keep all sims on the lot in at least gold aspiration)"
     --  Inge Jones':  "No-empty toddler's potty"
     --  Inge Jones':  "No Kick Trash Can"
     --  Inge Jones':  "Always Stocked Fridge Patch"

Thanks again!   

It's not the popping out of bed that's the problem.  I think that only happens once.  I've never played several sim days with the dramafix mod in my game.

The problem is when I greet a drop by Sim.  They shake hands and the drop by Sim just leaves instead of going into my house.

I can get them to chat.  But when they're done, the drop by Sim turns around and leaves.

When I take the dramafix mod out of my game, I don't have this problem at all.  With the dramafix mod in my game, it happens all the time to every Sim.

There is another problem associated with this mod installed in my game.

Here is an example that just happened to me.  Sim A was in his house studying cooking.  Sim B walks by outside on the sidewalk.  I cancel Sim A's studying of cooking and send him out to greet Sim B.  They shake hands, and Sim B immediately turns around and leaves.  She walks down the sidewalk and disappears.  There is no indication that Sim A has ever met Sim B.

When I put the dramafix mod in my Downloads folder and go into the game, my Sims are standing by their beds instead of asleep in their beds as I left them.  I only have University installed.
