Yes, I know you didn't have the aging bug - Pescado seems to indicate there that Twallan SP plays a more active role in aging up sims than might be expected, which may have implications beyond your particular bug.

My only mods are AM, assorted Twallan (SP, overwatch, register, careers, master controller) and Buzzler birth control mirror.  The statement by Pescado here : http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,18136.msg574415.html#msg574415 seems to suggest it might be Twallan SP (unless I'm really misunderstanding it) but others in this thread say they aren't using Twallan SP.  Curious. 

This is happening to me too, but I hadn't yet narrowed it down to Twallan SP (which I am also using).  I noticed this happening very occasionally before generations, but now it is rampant.  Hopefully mentioning it on the nraas board will be helpful - I'll do the same. 

Not the most up to date version others could find, however.

By "status" I meant the info that says "so and so is a little hungry", not actual motive bars. I get the way EA intended it to be played and I'd be happy to play it that way, but right now it seems to be pretty broken. I started a new sim in a new clean neighborhood, and on their first day of being a daycare worker, no kids were delivered but a random toddler was sitting by the side of the road nearby. Again my Sim couldn't interact with this kid at all, not even the "NRAAS" button showed up when clicking on the toddler; shift-click also brought up nothing, and certainly there was no option to feed or play with this vagrant.

The good news about having the error happen so early is that hopefully I can narrow down whether it's an AM or Twallan or EA caused-problem.

I can confirm that the daycare profession is borked. My daycare provider had her grandson as one of her charges and as soon as he arrived, things started getting strange (maybe a coincidence) - sometimes he wouldn't show the status window, sometimes he couldn't be interacted with, and at the end of the day, nobody came to pick him up, so I resetsim him home. He came back the next day but still had no status, although the icons showing hunger, etc. would flash over his head. At the end of that day, no parents came to pick up their kids. I sent them all home with resetworld, which worked, but the next day, no kids arrived at daycare.  The kids in that daycare seem to age at 2-3 times the normal rate, as well.

I've also had problems with the Grim Reaper - twice he showed up to take someone away, but the victim just stayed curled up as a ghost in the fetal position while multiple urns appeared and the message of death appeared over and over again. 

Both of these situations have occurred with the June 7 build of AM, but I'm not sure where the bug originates.

I have the direct download version for a few EPs, and I definitely had to specify Region 7 or else I got an error.  If these patches are indeed intended only for the direct download version, it is curious that they have files available that are region 1 or 2.

Twallan's Overwatch mod turns off stereos (and tvs) in non-active households, so it may help if inactive stereos are to blame. I use it and never have this problem, although that could be coincidence.

There is no ASS in the Twallan mods.

While amazing in its time, that time was 2006,2007.

Or, for the insane sims who like to take bedhead to the next level:

Pescado isn't confused by the graph, he just wants a different one.

I have AM so I haven't seen that warning for over a year now - and I haven't had this problem with any other LTWs, as bmtphoenix says.  Since I get bored playing without switching households,  I just stopped letting my sims have the possession LTW.  Instead I send those kleptomaniacs into a nice respectable career at the criminal warehouse, where they can get a regular income and benefits.

I am having this issue as well- I've noticed that the counter seems to reset when I switch households. So when the sim first steals the loot, it shows up in the ltw panel as being counted, but if I switch households and then switch back the counter is set back to zero. When I look in the family inventory at that point the stolen items are still there, and they're counted as stolen, but it no longer says where they were stolen from. Instead it says something like "big cow sign, stolen from" with no victim listed.

ETA: My sims never travel.
