I am definately a knowlege human.

Perhaps maybe a Romance, if secondaries were possible. I could never want to have 40 children.

 
Hmmm, that would make me Fluffle Brook. Not the most "porn-ish" sounding, but it works.   
Or better yet, Piglet Brook.

Hmmmm, I must have an incredibly outdated copy of it then, if I am getting so many conflicts with mine.
It can be quite useful, I suppose.

Yes you can do this with insimenator, jenny, but it may cause your game to explode in a BFBVFS. 

I curse at my PC for not running nearly as fast as my Fios...

I'm 5.5.4.8.8. I thought I'd be less playful, but I suppose it's b/c I'm very curious...
Very interesting link, Torkle!

"ROTFLMAO"
I am somewhat clueless when it comes to IM/aol acronyms, so this thread is very enlightening.


LK, what does "D.I" stand for ?(Feel free to make me sound/look ridiculously stupid)

Also, check the "keep consistent" box at the bottom of the Family Ties screen. this may save you from doing too much, but, despite the name, this feature doesn't seem too consistent in my experience. 
And as AncientSim pointed out, this doesn't make them family unless you check the "family" box in the relationship panel.
So no, I am not aware of a simpler meathod of doing this, but I am not a SimPE expert...

Avatars are becomming fashion-statements.
Mine doesn't look anything like me. I just thought it looked cool.
Blue, your avatar looks like to me like Angelina Jolie dressed up as a blue fairie.

I have actually met people (okay, one.) who do that (and not just when they are alone.) It's better than them clapping at you. (yes, this person did also actually clap at me when she wanted me to do something. )

I like how big houses look, but find little use for 4 floors, and 19 rooms. I tend to lose sims in houses that big. I go to take care of one, and the rest of the family ends up hiding behind a chimney.

The idea to use house plans has inspired me! I have already downloaded several plans, and have
already built a house! This is way too fun.  Thanks for the idea and links,cwykes!

Not only did I bookmark it, i practically downloaded every item/mesh/recolor on the site!
Thanks again, Blue!

Great link. I don't think I've seen so many (good) recolours of (good) items! Great layout/format. And it's *free*!
Thanks, Blue!

Although I like to build my own houses, make my own sims etc., I still like to download things. However, most of the really nice things I see online require "donations". Although they work hard to make their stuff, I don't feel like coughing up $$$ for just a few objects from a certain site, and don't feel comfortable giving my credit card # (well, my mom's) to random sites. I still periodically check the exchange,but want more variety. Does anyone know of any good, *FREE* (and I mean TOTALLY free, not just some of the items)  sites that are as nice as the PayPal sites? I have searched all over creation, (and continue to do so), and have yet to find a large totally free site with really good quality downloads.

Yes, as I to have no good grasp of the complex art of the codes, hack, and files that in essense comprise The Sims 2, I still find it interesting that this confliction displayed such prominent effects when I was doing absolutely nothing that had to do with babies and their care. Well, whatever the cause, it seems that this saga has ended.

Again thank you for everyone's patience and advice. Now I can spend my time playing the game rather than chatting online about it.

Update: Haven't noticed any jumping yet! Holding breathe...

THANK YOU, baratron, for pointing out the painfully obvious.

Thanks, baratron

Must go through my gigantic list of dowload files one of these days. I forget which ones I have already downloaded.

Will update...

Well, i didn't even need to "force [an] error".As soon as I loaded a lot I got this error log:

An error occured in object "N004_User00223_Catlyn" #152
Error: Transition to node that does not exist.

And I had trouble exiting, because I developed another case of "incessant error log syndrome".

Will lose the redundant disease controller.

In extreme cases, I have experienced the "incessant error log" syndrome while the game was paused, but this seems like there won't be too much of a hassle going into debug mode. Will update and post error log.

Just wondering if anyone might know...
What causes jump bugs, in general?

Yeah. That set seems a bit *kinky*, but I must admit it's useful for those certain sims. And it is worth getting (at least the free version) for the "red box thingy".

Have put back a few download files (at least compared to how many I used to have), and, while I am able to throw parties, the jumping is still occuring. Here are all of the "red" files I have:
-WooHoo In Bordello with $ubject
-housepartyfix
-ijCribGetOutAll
-LessAutonomyBabyCare
-Flamingo (Game Object)
-Flamingo of Decay (Game Object)
-Stay Late
-Energizer Painting(Game Object)
-All the "moreawesomethanyou" hack previously stated
-Controller-Disease (Career) (This is a career? huh?   ???Is this a corrupt file?)
-SimlogicalNoCareShrubs_patch

I have some other, regular downloads, which I could list if needed. Could these be the source of the Jump Bug?

*Smacks self in forehead*
Ooops. I had just copied the downloads folder to a different location, hadn't deleted it.
Removing the folder actually solves both the jumping and the Partying (or lack thereof). I love most of my downloads, but since I have over 100 download files (maybe around 200), "weeding" the whole thing will take an exorbant (sp?) ammount of time. Will try just using my absolute favorite downloads and hacks (of course moreawesomethanyou is included in this), and gradually/eventually (read: when I have some free time) put in more.
 Will update on that for anyone who is interested when I figure out the source of the problem.
Otherwise, THANK YOU for everyone's advice (even when the answer was "painfully obvious") and patience. You guys are awesome, though of course you don't need me to tell you that...

Update: At first, there seemed to be considerably less jumps after the reinstall. So, I crossed by fingers, held my breathe, and clicked on the phone....
....and, unfortuately, the "Throw a Party" option was still not there. Then, to my horror, I noticed my sim had caused an entire pan of omletes to disappear! The game still thought there was something cooking, b/c soon, the stove was on fire. Fortuanely I just remembered to buy a smoke-detector the other day, so the fire wasn't too bad. After letting them take a shower, I removed a blackened plate of omletes, still smoking, from the stove.
 So, this re-install thing was a no-go
What now?
