Good idea on the search option.
I do remember reading something about changing the appearance of toddlers.
Also, wierdest thing happened: One of my sims (non legacy) failed to go to work one day.
I got this message that he missed work.
Upon checking this out, I found him stuck between the mailbox and trashcan.
He was all like: "O no a mailbox on one side and a trashcan on the other. What to do, can someone please help me? I'll die!!"
Here's a tip: turn 90 degrees and put a few steps forward.
Must admit that I repositioned the mailbox and trashcan, so the odds of this happening again are probably one in a billion.
