Well, I have an error log that was generated when my sim went to work, if anyone is interested. I had a look at it though it's Greek to me...

Hmmm, experiencing the same problem here. Carpool arrives, drives off... and sim reappears near house. Same thing happens when I send them with their own car... annoying. Not using custom careers or cars though. Oddness indeed 

Ooh, thanks! That's what I was looking for 

On another note, seems this fix is now included in the CEP. Had no idea about that since I don't have any custom objects currently. Good to know for future reference.

Thanks again!

Ah yes, my old friend the Tulip lamp, how I miss thee... or at least the thumbnails that seems to be randomly coming and going. Sometimes the top row, and other times the bottom row. But now it seems to have spread to the table lamp that comes with Glamour Life, the Shimmering light I believe it's called.

There's a link at MTS2: http://www.modthesims2.com/member.php?u=4407 (FIX: Missing bed frames and Tulip Lamp problem)

But that seems to be dead right now. Further searching didn't produce anything useful. This problem is starting to annoy me, especially since it seems to be so darn... random, changing on a lot-by-lot basis. Annoying! And since it's now afflicting a new object that old fix may no longer be effective.

Anyone know of a solution? I'd be ever so grateful...
