kids and teens coming home with adults after work
HobbesED:
My apologies. The ghost wasn't haunting? It came home from work with your Sim each day for days on end? That would be a problem. :eek:

You can stop ghosts from visiting simply by placing their urn/headstone in a Sim's inventory (or by deleting it). Ghosts only materialize if their urn or headstone is placed physically on the lot somewhere. Good luck with your other issue.
Not a good idea to keep headstones or urns in Sims inventory for extended periods of time. Doing so has the potential to corrupt your game. It is best to move them to a permanent resting place and leave them there.

This thread reminded me that I have a sim that always brings the same sim home from work so I took a good look to see what's going on. I have good news and bad news, the good news is there is nothing wrong with your game, it is not caused by cc (which of coarse you already know), the offending sim is a hobby friend and is supposed to come home with your sim every night. The bad news is that you will not be able to stop/fix it without cc.
The hobby friend's Nid is held by your sim in semi-attribute 0x0023 (35) which is never cleared. When your sim returns from work if she/he has a hobby friend assigned then that sim is used. The job globals never check that the sim is still valid, they just blindly use it.
To fix it you simply need to clear your sim's semi-attribute 0x0023, to do that you will need to download, install and use an item. I have placed an item on box.net for you, it is not zipped or rared so you can simply download and use it as is. It's a clone of the napkin holder from nightlife and found in the same place in the catalog (Decorative / Sculptures). It will just one option, "Remove My Annoying Friend" and that is only available to a sim that has a hobby friend assigned, once used there should be no options available which comfirms it worked. The item (CJH-FixHobbyFriend.package) contains no game overrides at all and is perfectly safe to use.

If you have no cc then it is most likely you don't have a Downloads folder so you will need to create one to put the file into and enable custom content in your game before you can use it. Once you have used it you can delete it from the lot, save and exit your game and remove it from your downloads folder if you like. Perhaps keep it somewhere safe for when it happens again.

wow...thank you soooooo much...you are the first person to explain what is happening....I knew it was a hobby friend but didn't realize it was supposed to come home with them every single night....I don't use cc and that zip and rar files are messing me up...this last week did some downloading like an idiot and it messed my game up so bad I had to do another factory restore and am just now getting everyone out of the bins....
It took me 3 yrs but have finally given up on the fact that I will never have cc in my game....all the cool things that can be downloaded and played with Sims2 are just going to have to be looked at when I read everyone's stories and look at the pics...and am content with that now lol....
so you are saying that this thing I need is not a zip or rar and it is easy to download....also how do I make a folder for it....need a step by step on this or I will just mess it up again....never really learned how to download things....and at this point am afraid that if I download anything I will just have to do another factory restore...the reason I do factory restores is because I am not sure where everything is that has been downloaded have looked and deleted files from certain days that I know I downloaded things but my game never is the same until I do that restore...I have even tried going back like a week and restoring but that never works for me either
thank you for your help... ;D
broomhilda:
Chris Hatch I did the download and made a file put it in there but not sure what to do next....am just about in tears...I hate downloading things am so computer stupid it is unreal......how do I know if I did it right or not....after your first paragraph I got lost...lol
