Were you able to reproduce the methane hydration value?

Aniline and anilinium are different, with the latter being more difficult to 
deal with on account of its charge.  If you post your topology, perhaps someone 
will have some tips on how to modify it to produce better results, but proper 
small molecule parameterization is not a task well-suited for new users.  It may 
take considerable time and effort to derive a high-quality topology.  For 
general advice, consult:
