I have all EPs and the Celebration Stuff Pack, took out all my mods and the "put (baby/toddler name) here" interaction still doesn't work.  I wait until the sim is holding the child, choose the interaction, and it disappears, then they put the baby down and stand there.  I have to use transport if I want to get a toddler somewhere.  I have all the patches from the Sims 2 site, has anyone else encountered this problem?

I've invited the headmaster to my family's house several times and each time he denies the family.  I make the lobster (don't burn it), do a tour (he hates the house, even though it has the most expensive things and environment score is through the roof), and he only gives 20 points for the tour and 0 for the food.  I use the entertain, call for dinner option, I don't call all to dinner.  I've used the quick relations to make him friends with the family, gotten a score of 80 and been turned down.  I'm at a loss for what to do about the food.  Any suggestions?

I'm sorry if this is posted somewhere else, I used to have the hack checker but I needed to reformat my comp (got a virus) and I lost it.  I recently downloaded some hacks and they are interfereing with my game play, so I'm trying to figure out which ones that are bad.

I just bought free time today and I have a bunch of extras downloaded.  I was wondering if there was any way to fix the glitch with studying parenting.  Every time I try to have my Sims study parenting they pick up the book, walk over, and then something happens where the book disappears and that's it.

My family went to Twikkii Island and were staying in the resort on the beach.  There were several insimenators scattered through the whole lot, and I was unable to get "Comb beach" or "Build Sand Castle" as an option (it's a want, and it says how to do it, but I can't do it.)  Anyone else having this problem?
