Grrrr...  
I don't think the pigeon I have right now will work out. I think it's a male. Once his wings grow out I'l put him back in the loft to be a flyer. I will transfer the name Olney once I find a suitable replacement. I have that one baby that's Punkin's half sibling. Here's hoping it's a girl. I don't like nasty bites, threat displays and wing slaps when I'm servicing the cage or when I hold him. This is why male pigeons don't make good pets, unless you like fighting with your bird. I have a friend on Youtube that's halarious and loves fighting with his male pigeon. I had a pet male like that. Turbo was my male pigeon I used to fight with. He was great. But now I want a nice bird like I had with Punking so I really want a female.

Now that I've moved Peep out of Protist's cage she's gotten clingier which I like. She flies to me more. Today she landed on my head twice which was cute. I was doing dishes and she flew right in my face, did a U turn showing me her feet, tail and tummy then flew back to her cage. It was so fast and funny. She was inches in front of my face.

BTW, [info]earthmother45 I sent you your seeds. Please let me know when you get them. I hope they make it there soon and you have lots of fun with them.

And I'm in a bad mood right now because of Sims 3. I have experienced the first bad glitch in the game. Grey furniture or furniture that doesn't load right away I can ignore. I put up with those kinds of bugs. But I get royally pissed when characters disappear. Here's how this glich goes. I had been playing with Davon and Solan and figured it was time to switch to Des and Chris. I've given into temptation and started to use the money cheat at least to help the families start out. Well I couldn't find Des. I clicked on all the houses and nothing. So I switched to Owen because he had met her and she should have been in his relationship list. She was. So I invite her with the plan to then tell her to leave and follow her to her house. That didn't work because she got in a car and was too fast for me to catch. YARG!

Well, I thought perhaps she had moved in with someone or Chris had died. So I clicked all the houses. Luckily they show pictures. I found that some guy had moved in with them and the house had been put in his name. WTF? So I broke them up and moved Chris and Des into a big farm house. There good! That's what I wanted to do anyway. So now I'm ready to go back to Owen and he's gone! AAARRRGGG!!! He wasn't in any of the houses, he was just gone. I replaced him and he couldn't aford the same he house anymore. Again WTF? Why not? That's the house I started in? So I put him in another house, used the money cheat and bought the original house back despit it being small. I wanted to finish there because he's nextdoor to Cope. Well all the furniture I had bought was still in that house and had raised the property value and that's why I couldn't buy the house. The worst part was it was like starting over. He had no skills and had lost everything he'd found. AAARRGGG. I had him befriend Des again. He even randomly ran into Fungus. So all should have been well now. It wasn't.

So I'm leveling him again and I decide to look in my relationships page. Des and Chris were gone again. So was Fungus. I checked the map and they were gone from their house to. This was DURING game play. I hadn't even switched families. I'm quite mad about this. I don't want to have to keep reloading everyone and restarting. I wonder if it's a Riverview issue. I responded to a thread that was started as two others seem to have the same problem. I didn't want to post on the forums but this has me pretty upset and I don't want to play if all my time and effort will be for nothing. I wonder if there are too many characters. Just when I was starting to respect PC games something like this happens. Missing main chracters? That does not happen on consoles! This is a major glitch that is like an unfinished game. How can they release a game with such a major problem? Yeah I could start again in the other town but the whole starting over is what I don't want to do. This would make my 3rd restart.

I know you've looked into this somewhat already, so you may know this, but sometimes families will up and move out of town while they're under computer control. When I was first playing I hardly bothered with having my characters read the newspaper, but once I did with one I noticed that those have announcements about certain families leaving town. Maybe that's what happened.

It is strange when new sims move in with existing households and change the name. I had that happen in one game with Steelbeak. Suddenly he had 2 sim NPC roommates and the house was in one of their names. It confused the hell out of me at first.

I didn't know they could leave town. In my Sunset Valley game which is now my main game, I can't place the stunt scabs. They disappear right away. I may try it backwards and have Solan, Davon, Owen and the Copes be the NPC's in the Stunt Scab game. Chris and Cope are best friends now and I noticed the option to ask him to move in. I almost did that except that Des has the Dislikes Children trait so I don't think that would be good with Max around. But this new game is going much smoother.
