Don't let your Sims play water balloons for hours on end. I just had one tip over frozen. Could be a weird mod.

Hours on end? Then you do not need mods for frozen to happen. Playing this game is making our sims get cold after a while, and you will agree, it make sense. I often use this trick when my sims are getting too hot in summer. Sending them play water ballon for a while gets them back to green...but too long, they will get cold indeed...they get wet man...

Ghosts can mess around with the stereo. I saw a ghost near one and then the song kept changing on it.

dunno if this has been said, but today i was playing in pleasantview and dina and cassandra were talking... then the eyeglass test icon popped up and she proceeded to cover her eye and act like she was taking the test herself! lol i was laughing along with dina.

I think it's kinda cute when a child tries to train a dog - the kid's like "Storf! Moofah!" Such a cute name for a pet! Especially if you're trying to train a WOLF! Heheheheh...

Unless I misunderstood the object description, it appears that the TeenStar PC allows teenagers to get adult jobs without having to age them up and then back down!

Interesting... so... basically suspending child labour laws? Eh... I kinda think mandatory school is crud anyways. Then again, this is from someone who was harassed a lot in school.

They'll also do that with TVs if I remember correctly.

It's unfortunate you can't really use the public lot coffee maker (the one where normally a person would appear behind) in sim-owned OFB commercial activities, great wasted opportunity.

There’a definitely a mod for that, but the exact one has escaped my mind at the moment.

I don't know about a mod but you can hire a townie to man it, you just can't employ a playable barista for some reason.

If you use a multi-PT mod, you can put the character files (though not the controller!) into your neighbourhood's Characters folder and HoodChecker and SimPE will both be able to detect them.

Really? That would mean, I would not see my 4 alien sims in BS anymore? That'd be great.
EDIT :
Does not seem to work for me. I moved all 4 to my character folder, ran hood checker..found nothing. They usually show up in there.

I meant HoodChecker will stop complaining that they have no character files.

Oh..this is different! So...with all 4 aliens in the Character folder, the game seems them, SimPE sees them, even Hood checker. No need to rename them like all character files in there either?

I didn't rename them.

A few discoveries:

1. Fire can't spread through doors or archways. The latter is a bit unrealistic but considering that the arches are really just doorways without any animations or locking options it makes sense from a technical standpoint.

2. Objects cloned from the hamster cage don't seem to be affected by twojeff's caged pet fixes. My Sim kept waking up whenever the brick in his cage used the wheel.

3. With moveobjects on, you can pick up the individual chess pieces and use the M key to move them around on the chess board. It causes the animations to glitch slightly.

4. The stack of phone books that children sit on when playing chess has some odd lettering that doesn't look like Simlish:


The top line looks like it's backwards for "asdtst dtasd asdt." So much for it being a hidden easter egg.

Cowplants don't seem to reset if not milked. This is a great way to make your Secret Society lot safer.

1. Let somebody get eaten by the cowplant. DO NOT milk it!
2. Resurrect the dead sim if desired. I recommend using this mod that allows you to immediately turn resurrected sims back into townies again. http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/s...pic,6849.0.html
3. Leave the cowplant alone now that its udder is full. It doesn't seem to reset if you never milk it, so is shouldn't ever tempt anybody with the cake again.

2. Objects cloned from the hamster cage don't seem to be affected by twojeff's caged pet fixes. My Sim kept waking up whenever the brick in his cage used the wheel.

Do you remember where you got the brick wormrat? I've seen it several times lately and find I must have one.

@smorbie1 - took me a bit to find it: http://modthesims.info/d/471596

Thank you, love. This is adorable!

Just keep it in the hallway or your Sims will never get any sleep.

If you use the teleporter cat to move a townie teen into a household and adopt him, the adopters will show up as his parents in his family tree, but he will keep his own surname. I like that - I can well imagine that orphans adopted as teens might want to keep the surname of their birth parents. Ricky Cormier is keeping his own name for now, but I might change it later, either to make Cormier his middle name or to give him a double-barreled surname.

You can also move in a teen or kid and foster them - they'll still get the orphaned sims grant that way.

That only works if there's dead parents in the tree. If there aren't any at all, no scholarship.
