I haven't noticed anything with room scores - the moods are especially dismal when my Sims are at work or school.  Exiting and reloading fixes the problem, but even with the highest-rated beds, and waking my Sims before they get the 'well-rested' moodlet, their moods start to plummet again.  The problem gets worse the longer I play without exiting, so whatever is going on, it's cumulative. 

I had the same problem with a toddler, and I haven't done any borking around with ages.  I tried to age her with the birthday cake, and she got stuck in 'have birthday'.  I eventually had to reset her, and although her picture showed a child, she remained a toddler.  She finally aged on her own the next day (she should have aged on the day I tried to age her).

All I've got is Awesomemod, a hack that stops Sims from making those annoying choking sounds when they eat and a bunch of clothes, hairs and furniture.  I just installed WA, Ambitions and LN and my game is fully patched, caches cleared, new town (Riverview) started after installing the EPs.  I aged the same Sim to teenage with the birthday cake, and had no problems.  Something is up - it sort of reminded me of the Sims2 problem wherein a baby wouldn't age if anything happened during the aging process.

I've got 32 bit Vista with 3 GB RAM, and I *think* this fix is primarily for 64-bit?  However, there's an old MS hotfix for virtual graphics mapping via that link.  There's also an update for my graphics card that I should install first.  Plus, it looks like there's a new update version & Awesomemod.  I guess we'll see if something helps?  It's one of those unrepeatable errors (I hate those - I report software bugs at work, and anything I can't repeat makes me crazy - I *know* it's borked, but I can't prove it), so the only way to know it's fixed is if it doesn't happen.

I've got the same error since patching to 1.12, latest Awesome mod installed.  I played the game yesterday for several hours without any crashes.  Today, I'm getting a crash at the exact same spot - around 9 o'clock at night, one Sim is chatting on the computer, the other is searching the galaxy with the telescope.  Does anyone know what the traveldb.package does?

Modifying to add:  it's not the telescope.  I deleted everything in my CurrentGame.sims3 folder and had the other Sim quit the computer.  It broke, and while the repairman was working on it, the game crashed again.
