      It's the attraction system gifts messing things up, I believe. I've used a mod to stop it from happening. At least I think it's the attraction system. It's been reported in the bug thread stickied at the top of the forum.

      I haven't tried smelting in a long time so I have no idea if it's glitched in my game. My sim doesn't often get date phone calls, apparently townies think she's ugly. Lol! But I agree with the omni plant and bill part. My sims have too many of those in their inventories! The bills are caused by a sim in the household if the "No Bills Ever" LTR. You can move out that sim to get it to stop. But if you're like me, you can't because you really love that sim.

      Another mailbox glitch is the mailman will put in a gift but when you click on the mailbox it just shows get bills or pay bills. I'm so ready for a patch but we probebly won't get it till the day Decades Stuff Pack is out. That comes out Jan 25th correct?

      I have the same problem with my mailbox. I have a stack of bills in my sim's inventory that I can't pay, and 2 omni plants that I can't use. :(

      Try deleting it and placing a new mailbox.

      Before you replace it try a reset on it.

      I have the same problem! My fairy sim is friendly. So she has friends. But because she gets so many phone calls for dates(& she's married), it gives her the "cheater" reputation! Even when I click "No thank you". Her & her husband broke up, & it's really annoying. Her phone is ALLLLLLLWWWWAAAAAAAAYYYYSSSSSSS ringing. & 80% of the time, it's someone asking to go on a date.

      The problem I am having with Mail Boxes is to do with wedding gifts/thank you notes. I get the gifts but I can't write thank you notes. When I select the option it just cancels out of the queue when it becomes the Sim' current action.

      You need to turn on your cheats - shift+ctrl+c - testingcheatsenabled true and hit enter

      Then you need to turn on Buydebug (I think - I really dont' remember if the mailboxes are in the hidden content or not but I think so :P)

      Go into buy mode, shift click the mailbox - you should get the Object - Delete as an option. Then find the mailbox in your ? tab and you should be good. You'll be able to access the other mailbox types here too - for example, the Monte Vista mailbox. :)

      Sometimes it will glitch up. I had something similar happen with my fridge. Replacing it solved the problem. :)

      I hope they fix this soon. In the meantime the latest version of Overwatch fixes this like a charm.
