Am I the only one encountering this issue?:

You go to the Supermarket and buy a bunch of groceries..you have like stacks of the same item, or you grow them in your garden.  The time comes for you to put them in your refrigerator and you have to move ONE at a time.  I read and re-read the manual and see nothing about this.  Perhaps I am missing something and someone can shed some light on this?

So a few hours after bumbling around with my new shiny, I have decided to re-create my favorite Sim character of all time but have encountered one teeny-weeny problem:  I want my Sims to age, but I want to disable aging (at times) for my one favorite Sim.  I know you can turn off aging in the options, but I want the town and other Sims in the household to age on, just not this one particular Sim.  I'd even be happy with something to extend his adult (not elder, which is what I think the life fruit does) life.  Anyone know what I can do, if anything?  Thanks in advance!

I remember a long time ago (well over a year ago) that I had downloaded a mod to stop sims from autonomously walking over to a sleeping baby/toddler's crib and picking them up to do whatever while the baby/toddler was sleeping.  Recently, one of my sims hired a butler and he has this extremely annoying habit of lifting the toddler sim out of her crib while she's trying to sleep.  I've looked around and have not had any luck finding this mod.  Hopefully someone out there knows what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction...if not, I humbly request a mod like this be made because it's one of the more annoying things in the game.

It seems Mary-Sue Pleasant died. (I don't know where she died) I can't find her grave, and I can't resurrect her with the Resurrect-o-tron.  I use the Summoner and it makes her appear but then it says she died on another lot.  Is there some way I can get her back?

I've found some guides that show you how to make a basement when building a house.  They tell you to lay a foundation, then to hole out the center section, leaving a one tile border, then lower the terrain (using a wall covering with a bottom border as a guide.)  My problem is I do this, but it won't allow me to use the top of the foundation as a floor. I can only lay tile around the perimeter of the foundation, but not on top of the whole thing.  It places the place where I'd put the flooring a story higher.  Any Sim-architects out there willing to help me out?  I'd love to get this done.

Being that I hate a lot of the Maxis stuff in the game but love the recolors and custom content people come up with, I tend to download a lot of room sets, you know, bedroom sets, bathroom sets, etc.

My problem is finding them in the game.  I know they are there, but trying to find some of them is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.  I know of Delphi's download organiser to sort my downloads folder which I have and use, and I know of a program called Sims 2 Collection Creator which is spiffy if everything is a mesh.  If the items are recolors though, they won't show up in that program.  

I admit to being pretty naive about the more intricate areas of the game.  If someone could advise me on setting up collections that doesn't make me have to sort through every stitch of maxis content I have, I'd be grateful.  If there's no way to do what I'm trying to do (other than if it's a mesh to begin with), if someone could let me know that, I'd be happy.  As always, thanks in advance!

Another question ::duck::

I'm trying to make collections for the various room sets I've downloaded (ie bedroom sets, living room sets, etc) and I'm using the Sims 2 Collection Creator from djsims, yet it tells me the recolored items don't have GUIDs and I can't add said items.  Is this right?  Can you only make collections with original meshes and not recolors of existing maxis items?  I apologize for being naive and asking so many questions..I'm not trying to be a nuisance, I just really need some help cause I've been pulling my hair out trying to get my stuff sorted. >.<

Once again I have another question :

I recently downloaded a recolor package of the Myne Door that had no decals.  In the game, there are no posters or little flags on the back side (the side inside the room) but the decal that puts the sim's picture who claimed the room is still there.  I read that in order to do that, I need to clone the file.  I'm assuming that means just make a copy of that package and paste it into my downloads folder maybe with another letter or number to stop it from being overwritten.  However, being relatively new to the game and not too computer savvy, I'm not sure and figured I'd best ask before I started.  Am I right about the cloning thing?  Thanks in advance

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, but I've searched this site, MATY, MTS2 and even did a Google search to find out if there is a way you can call Sims in the family bin.  My deal is I have more than a few Sims that I don't want to play at the moment, but I don't want to have the Sims I am playing not be able to call them (the infamous "so-and-so doesn't own a phone).  I have been buying cheap houses for these sims and sticking a phone in there so I can contact them but now my neighborhoods are getting cluttered.  Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

I'm wondering how you throw parties on a community lot?  I downloaded a wedding chapel and all that, have a cell phone, but I can't seem to get the option for it.  I apologize in advance if there's a thread for this question somewhere...I've looked but only came up with a hack that isn't compatible with Pets and Seasons.

My Sim decided to open a second restaurant after her first one did so well.  She hired a chef with maxxed out cooking skill for the second restaurant and basically staffed the place the same as the first.  For some reason, though, the customers will sit down, order food, then when it arrives, get up and leave.  Another issue I was having is visiting Sims on my home lot repeatedly telling me how late it was and that they should get going, but they never left.

I may or may not have a hack or two (or ten--but who's counting?), so I removed some of the more recently installed ones (since this issue just started happening today) to see if there was a conflict, and after getting rid of all the recent mods, the visiting Sims problem seemed to go away but I still had the restaurant problem.  Out of curiousity, I went back to my first restaurant to see if it was happening there, and lo and behold, the customers ordered their food and actually ate it all.  Am I missing something?  Maybe newer restaurants have this issue, or maybe my chef or staff in restaurant number two is causing the problem?  Any insight and advice would be greatly appreciated

I have a robot that I want to take to my restaurant, but I can't do so without bringing the other members of my family.  I've tried making the other members of my family do other things when they try to get in the car, but that doesn't work, they'll stop whatever it is they are doing to go.  I've tried leaving my robot at the restaurant but it will power right back up and come home with me.  I've also tried hiring my robot as an employee but I don't have the option to do that, either.  Any advice would be great.  Thanks in advance
