Wow, thank you LazerRay3! That makes perfect sense. I can't tell you how much time I've spent uninstalling and reinstalling trying to fix this. Now I can't wait to get home and try this.
I was glad to see Grandpa's Grove come up. Now I've snagged that and I already have the set with the cow milking. Just need to get the chicken coop set and I can start my farm!
Like a lot of posters have said, I intend to take a wait and see attitude ... maybe give them a year or so to work out major bugs, release some add-ons, and see what the gameplay looks like.
The same thing happened with me! I made a nanny bot to take care of my sim's new baby and the plumbot spent all her time swimming. The poor baby almost starved to death. I ended up selling her (the plumbot, not the baby), making a new one (again, plumbot, not baby), and this one took care of the baby perfectly and never…
I traveled into the future with my sim girlfriend (who lived in my household) and there were three households of descendants - one household of my descendants, one separate household of my girlfriend's descendants (I guess that spells bad news for our relationship!), and one household that said "descendants of Belle" which…
Science tells us that a minimum of 25 breeding couples (so 50 total individuals) are required to ensure genetic diversity in a human population. Some monitoring is required at first to prevent interbreeding of closely related individuals. Probably not the same for sims, though ...
This happened to my uncle Vern in real life once. He ended up going to the hospital and having it removed. The doctors claimed it was just a weather balloon, but then I noticed they were loading the "weather balloon" into an unmarked black helicopter and whisking it away. True story.
I'm currently using Roaring Heights as my home world and Into the Future as my "escape" place. The contrast between the two themes ... 1920's and SciFi future ... is quite nice. I'm gradually bringing technology from the future back to Roaring Heights and it is starting to develop a kind of Steampunk feel to it.
They generally do stay there as long as you want them to do so. Was he there solo or was he with other sims? Unfortunately, it seems that if you have multiple sims in the future and you try to return just one of them to the present, it sucks all your other sims with him or her.
Thanks for your response, GreenLion. I appreciate it! I probably didn't make myself clear enough, though. The hover board only sticks to the sim while he or she is walking. As soon as he stops, it pops back into the inventory. The problem is that it's not hover board'ing. I'll see if I can get a screenshot of what's…
Are you going to work on your own or taking the carpool vehicle that shows up to take you? I only seem to have this problem when I drive myself, but never when taking the carpool.
Update: Thanks again for all of your replies. I finally had a chance to go back to a pre-ITF save and tried it all again. This time Emit appeared and shoved the time thingamabob into my hands right away, and I've been happily futuring ever since. I'm not sure why or how I got Bad Emit the first time, but now I really do…
Thank you for the responses. I appreciate you taking the time to read my rant. I am running a few of Twallan's NRaas mods, but nothing that should interfere with opportunities or cause erratic behavior. Fortunately I still have the save I made just before I installed Into the Future, so I can reload that and try again.…
You're supposed to wait for calls in order to get cases? I've always kept a steady stream of them going by using the computer and visiting the police station. I had the same problem with that psychic opportunity. Very annoying.

This ^. Except I do think there should be a special section for scifi buffs who think alien women are hot as long as they don't have too many tentacles and/or a beard.
