Okay, next update in this wierd behavior saga...I played the wan family for a few hours Saturday...here is what I found, first off, when I opened up the family, I deleted everything in the house and redecorated with all custom content, placing in the house the few items that are universal in all of my custom sim houses.  Still no fighting within the family household.  Anywho, like I said before I thought it was something going on with CAS because it only seemed to be happening with sims I created in CAS...well, low and behold after 3 sim days playing the Wan family, all custom content, no fighting.  But, I had a "jog by" with a Maxis created sim, so I had the jogger be greeted by Ms. Wan. OMG the fighting commenced, for no reason.


As far as the info requested...The only thing they have in common I thought was that it was happening with sims I created in CAS...well as you read above, maybe it has something to do with non-family members.  All of the sims who fight have various astrological signs, aspirations, turn ons and turn offs.  Some are married and some are not.  If I go into a household created by Maxis, there is family harmony with no fighting, unless a non-family member enters the equation, but if I enter a household created by me in CAS they will fight no matter if there are non-family members present or not.  I am so not understanding this wierd behavior in my sims, and I have done all I know to do to resolve the problem and narrow it down...the only thing I have left I think is to completely uninstall the game and start over from scratch.  Any other ideas would be great though

Okay, an update on the current situation...yesterday I went through the 6 hour long process of the 50/50 method trying to find the problem...the good news is  though I never narrowed it down to a single item, having everything installed worked beautifully. The bad news is that playing a family such as the Wan or other that actually came with the game, there are NO fights, thats right no fighting whatsoever, unless of course they call up a friend in the neighborhood that did NOT come with the game i.e. a sim I created in CAS, when the visitor first gets there all is well, after about a minute (our time) the fighting commences, with the visitor though, not with a fellow family or household member.  This leads me to belive that it does in fact have something to do with custom sims created in CAS and NOT a problem with an object, I am going back in to play a genuine Maxis created family and completely redecorate thier home just to be sure, placing the most common things unanimous thoroughout all of my custom sim homes and see if it causes some family strife.  However any feedback on this phenomenon would be greatly appreciate as I have NEVER heard of anything used in CAS causing any problems unless there was a MESH missing or something like that.  I haven't heard of anything you use in CAS creating behavior problems...

Thanks for all the feedback so far, relevant and not as your posts make for amusing reading and some great ideas LOL.

Here is a link to a video I have uploaded to my server so you can sort of see what I am talking about,

www.enchantedpixie.com/sims/test.html

Now this is a couple I have been playing for a long time, normally they are very much in love, whenever one walks into the room where the other is, the start fanning themselve and little hearts start floating around thier heads, they also had a relationship score of 100/100. When making this video, I entered the lot, then before they could have any autonomous interaction, I gave the command to make out, which you see in the beginning of the video, then when they are done, they just start fighting, there was no provoking, annoying or anything, just fists flying. Any ideas...

I just want to say thank you for all the feedback...even though some seem to be skeptical...

What I have done to try and rectify the situation is I went through all of my download folder, I have as I said before only the two hacks in the game.  So I figured of course it must be a cc problem.  However, I cannot seem to narrow down the problem to any specific cc file.  My next step I suppose is to go through the long process of the 50-50 elimination.  I dread doing this as I have over 19,000 files in my cc folder ugh. 

On another note...I do appologize that some may think I am merely trying to waste your time...that was not my intention, I really would like to find out what the problem is and how to fix it so that I can actually play my game.  Right now, I cannot play because all of my sims are furious with every other sim and just want to pummel them all, regardless if they have other more important needs to attend to.

Thank you again, any other ideas are greatly appreciated!

No most of my sims are very nice and and very outgoing, as far as hacks...the only two i have installed in the game are:

1. buybuild enabler
2. daily gardener

At least that is all the Sims clean installer and delphys download organizer found. I agree it is not normal sim behavior which is why i am so totally blown away by it.

oh as far as custom content...there are over 19,000 files in my download folder of custom content.  Hope this helps.

Could someone please help me out...I have no idea why, but for whatever reason ALL of my sims on every single lot just want to fight.  They dont want to eat they dont want to sleep, they just walk around pounding thier fists into thier hands and waiting for the opportunity to jump on someone.  I even created a new married couple and as soon as I moved them on a lot, the first thing they did was fight.  I have all the Sims2 and expansion packs with stuff packs except for the holiday stuff packs. This is just a recent thing and I dont know what is causing and cannot seem to narrow down the problem.  Has anyone else expirienced this problem and if so could you help me out.

Thank you soooo much!
