So Maya found the love of her life in China. She invited him to visit, Woohooed, the whole bundle with no issues. Then she asked him to move in. He agreed, but no popup window appeared and immediately afterwards Maya teleported a few squares to the left.

Thirty seconds or so later, the foreign Sim disappeared. Not only did he leave the lot, he no longer appeared in Maya's relationships. I didn't go looking for him, just quit and reloaded, and tried again. This time although the move in failed, he didn't disappeared, so I used testingcheats to add him to the family and got him and Maya engaged/married in the normal way.

I noticed something else then - his father was no longer in China, but had apparently moved along with him. I'm getting notifications (from NRaas's story mod) about him going steady with a local girl while back in China his wife is still married to him.

Er, what's going on?

I only have WA but it's fully patched. I use some custom content (story mod, some careers, a bunch of CAS stuff) but not a vast amount.

Sounds like a good old fashioned bug to me. I had a similar problem before moving a girl in who had a infant to a guys house who had a toddler. Strangest thing in game I ever saw! Girl moved in fine but her infant took on a life of it's own after I moved them in. The toddler that already lived there with the guy was crying in the highchair because it had pooped itself or something, and I had just did the move in interaction using the guy on the girl to do so. Well everything kind of freezes for some time and then the girl puts the infant on the floor and it starts sliding across the floor on it's back and positions itself in front of the high chair the toddler is in. It then stretches it's neck and arms and begins to float the toddler out of it's high chair. Here's a screen shot:

What happened with your game isn't necessarily a bad thing, but definitely strange!

The OP's problem is a classic EAxis bug. Get Awesomemod, and it will never happen again.

FredSmith909... That is definitely the funniest and creepiest thing I've seen so far in the Sims 3. Too bad there isn't any priests in the game. :lol:
