Well, you're not crazy. I tried the first file, it works fine. Triedthe second, and max age is clearly being ignored along with several sexstat values. Tried taking the first file, converting it then deleting the non-XML version. Same problem; doesn't work right. Here's a slightly modified version of the core randomgirl file in XML (I deleted several core girls I didn't like and use a second file with my own random characters). This works as it should on mine. Move your files to a different directory and try using this one and see what happenes. If it works, I would suggest adding the missing character files back in to this one and going from there. Very strange though.
