Missing social menus!

So I one of my Sims got a "ask out on date" want today and I was ready to fulfill it. Till I realized that there was no "Ask..." menu. The Sims are engaged; there should be an Ask menu!

Then I realized when they began to Rock Paper Scissors that that game wasnt on the Play menu. Pillow Fight isnt either. I have Punch U, Tickle and Red Hands. The Prank menu is gone altogether!

So I tried another family in that same (custom) neighborhood. No luck, but the Ask menu was there, with "What you fear" "what you want" and turn offs and ons. No dating, though (married Sims).

I went to a different neighborhood (P-ville). No go for anyone.

I have EPs 1-4.

So I'm missing the Prank menu, some Ask options, dating, some games.

I pulled the last week's worth of downloads and various hacks. No help. I'm not very versed in Clean Installer (I use it in a very amateur way) nor all the workings of the game, so I am at my wits' end. I haven't pulled my whole folder yet or disabled CC because Im afraid the game will go berserk since I rely so heavily on CC.

I had a glitch a couple days ago where my Sims went to a community lot in a car and couldn't go back home. The car jumped a few feet ahead of where it always parks at lots, and they could sit in and woohoo in it, but couldn't go anywhere in the car. The option kept disappearing from both of their queues. I don't know if that relates or connects in any way.

The trouble is, I didn't notice when these options left. I don't think I've been playing without them for too long, but it's been a whle since I did any of them so I can't be sure.

Thanks for any help! I'm going batty.
