Date test #948: Same as before, initiated a new date with boyfriend to generate a love letter.  Was able to retrieve bills and love letter both with no errors at all.  Was able to pay bills as well.  Not an error in sight.  HUZZAH! 

*happy sheep noises*

That's why I'm trying to do the same test scenario every time.  Good scientific method and all that rubbish.  Shall try the new version and report back *fights urge to add a smiley*

I've tested the most recent version of alfixes posted and the mailbox error is partially fixed.  My sim can retrieve bills as before and can now retrieve the love letter but errors when she tries to put it in her inventory.  I did the same test as before, started my game completely devoid of cc except alfixes and sent her on a date to generate the love letter.  The new error log is attached.  Thank you for your hard work fixing everything EAxis craps up.

I'm still having problems receiving NL mail at apartment mailboxes.  I pulled everything except the alfixes hack and had my sim go on a date to generate a new love letter delivery.  Same error as before, and I reset her.  I'm still able to get and pay bills so it's not entirely game-breaking but it's annoying as hell and I'd like to be able to send my sims on dates if they live in apartments 

As I said, NO cc at all except this fix and I made sure that cc was enabled.  Error log is attached.

Thank you so much for sharing, these will be great for my legacy families since they're supposed to, you know, start out POOR    Now I'm having an idea of making a shipwrecked legacy...

According to the super-special-always-right Prima guide (note sarcasm here), only the "Watch for UFOs" interaction decreases the odds of returning from an abduction pregnant.  "Summon Aliens" should have normal pregnancy odds.  Again, this is from the Prima guide, those things are notorious for misinformation.

I swear my game would be unplayable without you smart-types to fix it for me.  I wholeheartedly agree with your rant btw.  I feel an urge to baaa now.

Thank you so much, this is a much prettier alternative to the basic fish tank. 

AHA!  Thank you Emma!  I just installed VC the other day.  Now I feel less crazy.

As for the outdoor temp I honestly haven't checked it because they're actually in the hottub at the time that their temp drops to blue.  I figured the hottub would keep their temp up but that's logical and this is EAxis so go figure    I'll just keep an eye on them.

*headdesk*  I do have the stuck object remover.  I can haz use it prz.  Duh.  I will do that when I pull my head from my nether region.

I think my newspaper issue is a severely tight pants issue.  I noticed something odd in my deco > misc folder earlier while I was playing.  A newspaper.  A NEWSPAPER.  I must have downloaded a stupid non-buyable-made-buyable newspaper...  Stupid.  I will find and annihilate it.  I'm betting my newspaper weirdness will magically be fixed.

Psst gynarchy, I think you meant exit without saving >_>  Thank you both so much for your help!

I'm having some seemingly unrelated weirdness post-FT.  I can interact with the newspaper normally except for finding a job, which my sim will initiate, sit down with the paper, and then stand up and dump the paper wherever handy without finding a job.  Find Pet Job For... is completely absent as an option.  They can read it, do the crossword, make airplanes to their heart's content.  No errors show up in debug mode, they don't "jump" out of the action, the jobs simply don't pop up.  They can find jobs through the computer without a problem.  I wondered if it was because I upgraded a CAS sim to uni status with the FFS debugger but a townie she moved in who hadn't been upgraded was similarly unable to use the paper to find a job.

Second bit of weirdness: aforementioned sim and her dude change for work and head off as normal to their shared carpool.  They have the exact same hours, and when they arrive home, both are dressed in their casual everyday wear instead of their work clothes.  WTF?  Did they change in the goddamn car?

Moar weirdness.  They get in the hottub.  Fucking ACR.  I have warmthfixes from here but it's spring and their temps go down to blue.  In the time it takes to woohoo.  Is that normal?  They're not vamps or anything, just normal sims.  I'm used to them spontaneously combusting, not turning to ice cubes.

Last weirdness, a fire started on a different lot.  It was extinguished by the family (because I was too stupid to remember a fire alarm) and all was well.  Except the maid ran everywhere while she cleaned.  When it was quitting time, she ran to her truck.  I attributed it to the pouring rain but of course sims aren't that smart.  Little Ben, the family's son, ran everywhere too.  Didn't think much of that either, he's an active kid and likes to run.  More power to him.  Anyway, maid doesn't show up the next day.  Huh.  Actually I didn't notice for three days until the house was a green stinking fly-ridden mess.  Call maid, she comes over, does her thing.  Call Evil Garden Club Lady who refuses to judge my garden because "there's an emergency on your lot".  Wuh?  So apparently there's an invisible fire or something somewhere that's making my kid and maid run all over and keeps my maid from coming back the next day.  I have NEVER seen this happen.  Tried nuking scenarios with debugger and asking for Garden Club membership again.  Same response.  Sigh.

The first three are annoyances that can be lived with for now, I'm writing a story so I'd rather not go shuffling with my downloads just now.  The last, well, I've given up on it as a corrupted lot for the moment.  I'm not actively playing that family but I'd like to prevent any recurrences.  So any ideas as to what would be causing any of this crap would be appreciated.  I wouldn't rule out tight pants, as they do look so good on me   I have quite a few hacks from here, all from the FT-approved directory (list available upon request), some from TJ that are FT-updated, and the business-related ones from Sim Wardrobe (all FT-updated as well).  I ran HCDU awhile back and none of the hacks affect the same things so I don't think it's a hack conflict but I'm non-awesome.  I apologize for my verbosity (JFC I just read my post), just stab me or something.
