I also just had a teen grow into a YA using a Celebration stuff Birthday cake. I do indeed have the YA cake but that was not the one I was using.  
So does this mod change it to where the default is that teens grow into YAs, and the YA Cake keeps them from doing this? I read it the other way around, then.
I then used Simlogical's Cake and the sims aged into a just about-to-die elder! I paused and aged her down into an adult, and then pondered what the ramifications of that might be, and then quit without saving.'
I only had a handful of sims that geographically live very near to a college so I thought it would be nice if they could live with their parents and commute to school. I'm hoping I can figure out proper use of this hack.

Most EAXIS music is a mock of the genre they claim to be praising. Like the Oldies station??? I like Oldies. I love the Beach Boys-- that EAXIS crap is a horrible parody of that era's music. I'm sure all other fans of the various genres would agree.

Heh-- and I thought I was the only one who immediately imported all of the Sims 1 techno songs in to my Sims 2 techno station. Most of my folders have tons of really good video game music converted to .mp3 format. Nothing like Aerith's theme from Final Fantasy 7 when a sim dies of starvation... I love the dissonance

My 'Hip Hop' channel is my 'Legend of Zelda' channel, actually.

I have LONG disabled all of EAXIS ideas of music from my game. There's this one awful song that makes me nauseous because of the way the tones undulate over and over-- came with Seasons, maybe?

Dear fsinaswee-- do you have any curtains (maybe downloaded with a lot) that automatically open or close at night? Those are most suspect. Go ahead before you go into one of those lots and pres ctl+shift+c and type in "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" and if it is an object problem, you should get a pop up box as you load the lot-- press delete when asked what to do.

As far as loading faster, try compressing your downloads folder with DJ SIMS compressionizer (sp). My game loads faster and my Downloads take up 60% less room.

I found the file that crashes my game when I place a sewing machine-- it is an accessory file. I do not know its origins, but EVERYONE should look for and remove 8fe40e94_maer.PACKAGE from their files.

I have a specific issue in which the new sewing machine crashes my game (trying to place it, more specifically) -- I don't know what custom content could cause that, but when I figure it out.... I'll report back... If my computer's hard drive is as fed up as I am with the load/crash/remove cc/load/crash pattern as I am....

So we have merpeople, satyrs, minotaurs, lamias, centuars, winged people of all kinds, and harpies... oh, and wolf people!

How about more fantasy/mythology body meshes? Also, more animal-like sims (like Bastdawn's old stuff for Sims1-- raccoons, skunks, foxes)...

That's what  I drool over
