What did you discover today while playing the sims?

[Lethe_s]

Only when they are sitting next to each other or EXACTLY across the table. And it's funny to watch a kid's reaction to that. (Of course the "kid in question was one of my kids by the Grim reaper who realized when she became a teen that the really hot man who happens to be married to mom is not actually a relative, so she may have other reasons for disliking that. )

hmm, I'll have to try that.
if they're like normal kids, they'd get all fussy: "Moooooom, stop embarassing me in front of my friennnnds." *chuckle*

[Ghost sdoj]

You can have a honeymoon at night too. I had two vampires manage it. You just need to throw a great party.

[KismetRose]

Okay, so today I played the one household in my entire game that has a lawn gnome, and someone came along and stole it. No biggie, right? Then, late that night, the woman of the house woke up and started to walk outside. I was like, what the hell is she doing? She's in the last stage of pregnancy too. So I look at the command and it says something about recovering the lawn gnome. She left the lot like college sims do when they visit campus and when she comes back, a message pops up saying something like: "I've gotten my lawn gnome back. It's in my inventory." And sure enough, there it was. I thought it was really funny - I mean, come on, stealing a lawn gnome back from the person who stole it?

[Ghost sdoj]

They LOVE doing that! If you put it back in the yard, someone else will steal it and start the whole cycle over. I had each member of the welcome wagon in one of my neighborhoods steal my gnomes one day. On the first day in the house!

I learned to stick with flamingos if I want the yard full of garden statuary. Or keep the 12 gnomes behind a fence. (You would think sims would learn not to steal gnomes from a yard which has gravestones all around the gnomes.)

[longdaysend]

yeah sims love lawn gnomes..i had a family that had one sitting in the back yard in a little "nook" made of the walls of the house and shrubbery and this one neighbor would come over every single day, all day and just do the sneeky looking around thing and watching the gnome..lol i think he wanted to steal it but thanks to its positioning he couldn't, so he just came to hang out with it all day long :D i love sims and thier obsessions.

[Menaceman44]

Yeah, I've never had a gnome get stolen at all since I always put mine against a wall which for some reason stops them getting picked up. I did have one Sim ATTEMPT to steal it but he complained the wall was too close.

[longdaysend]

the sim who was trying to STEAL it comlained?!? oh now thats just flat irrational..lol

[PennyTheCorgi]

That a sims first kiss interaction I think depends on personality. A shy sim hangs there head sideways and acts shy, an outgoing sim attacks the other sims mouth!

[dragon_tfm]

Yeah, I've never had a gnome get stolen at all since I always put mine against a wall which for some reason stops them getting picked up. I did have one Sim ATTEMPT to steal it but he complained the wall was too close.
lol me too..all the time and same for new objects as well cloned from it..or i think ive got a little mushroom that gets complained about and i assume its because they want to steal it..hmm or maybe kick it

[Proxian_girl]

That you can have teen sims who are at 90+/90 for each other and they still won't go steady... Poor Nana got rejected three times before she finally gave up...

[melanie_SC]

-I saw a shooting star!
-When my sim got her first bump, she said something that sounded like 'wiv bubba?!' or that could've just been me lol.
-When my sim burped, the other sim sort of smelled her then had a look of digust on his face. Lol, he wasn't trying to be subtle there!

[Menaceman44]

I discovered that your Sims can praise their pets for "watching TV calmly".

[Ghost sdoj]

When you paint a still life or a portrait in the game, you can navigate to the Storytelling directory (The main one, not the neighborhood one) and find the last painting you made listed as "screenshot" and as "snapshot". You need to adjust the width to 300 from 600 though.

[AxelValentine]

I had my first senior, so I learned everything that comes with that, such as locking two wants at once!

[HCAC]

That if he or she gets upset enough, a teen will run away. Today was the first time it happened in my game. It was interesting. The mother kept crying until I realized I had to have her call and report the teen missing.

[PennyTheCorgi]

I found out that kids will throw table scraps to pets if they beg.

[eruwenfuin]

I jus found out my sims will step cauticiously over a pile of junk.

[Proxian_girl]

I found out that the llama ears on the Team Mascot uniform stick through the roof of the car they take to work... It's pretty silly-looking.

[iunplugthings]

I found out that kids will throw table scraps to pets if they beg.

No way... I totally didn't know that!

[longdaysend]

A teenage sibling can 'tuck in' a child. i had flax babysitting his youngest sister honey and noticed an icon of the bed she was in. i figured he was going to try and sleep there so i hovered over it and it said "tuck in"..it was so adorable, i'll post a pic in the siblings thread later :)

[Proxian_girl]

My self-sim has truly terrible taste in guy sims, and thus far hasn't even reacted to girl sims We are nothing alike.

[PennyTheCorgi]

:lol: My self sim always has twins. It's starting to make me nervous....:blink:

[Brook_Lynn_Marie]

I found out that kids will throw table scraps to pets if they beg.

I want to see that!

[Derange]

I discovered that Sims will even gather up the nerve to steal the newspaper from a homicidal Sim who they've never met before. Talk about brave!

[Ghost sdoj]

I had one sim drop off the flowers for the dream date when he got engaged to his fiancee, then return an hour later and steal her paper. The really cute thing was he had her face in a thought bubble with little hearts around it while he was doing it. I decided that he realized he was saving her the trouble of going outside and recycling it.

[maz_SC]

Talking to professors over the phone raises class performance!
You gain social, friends, plus you don't have to do assignments, it's pretty sweet.

[UtopiaGlam]

Today I discovered that vampires have no refection in mirrors (I quite never had vampires before recently) and that you can receive a "love letter" after a date, not only flowers

[Proxian_girl]

I built a community lot, and my game promptly spawned an INCREDIBLY CUTE cashier NPC. After I finished playing for today, I fired up SimPE to take a look at his stats.

Griff Baity: Popularity sim, teen, red hair, brown eyes, light skin.
Sloppy 4
Outgoing 10
Lazy 3
Playful 6
Grouchy 2

Not too bad, overall.

Then I looked at his skill set and had a small heart attack.
Cooking 7
Mechanical 1
Charisma 7
Body 4
Logic 5
Creativity 2
Cleaning 4

Oh. My. GOD. At least one skill level in everything, 7 in Cooking and Charisma, AND he's hot... I HAVE TO HAVE THIS BOY IN MY LEGACY!!1

[NH1]

I discoverd that, some sims just don't have anything better then to set my kitchen on fire, even with a cooking skill of 10. And he puts the kitchen on fire EVERYTIME he (tries to) make food...

[skylark]

I discovered, that a male dog with a 90/80 relationship with a female dog will still quite happily ATTACK her (while preggers with his puppies) for NO apparent reason! They each havetheir own bed, bowl, bone, etc. and she was just sleeping on the cheap cushion!

Talk about having a bad day!

[xXharp_babyXx]

I discovered that sims say something that sounds like "Mahspace... It's Maaaahspace!" when they teach toddlers to talk :lol:

[AtropaMandragora]

Oh. My. GOD. At least one skill level in everything, 7 in Cooking and Charisma, AND he's hot... I HAVE TO HAVE THIS BOY IN MY LEGACY!!1


One of the newspaper boys also have ALOT of skill points. He's not far from being maxed on every skill.

[Toffee9994]

Ok so did you know that you can put minifridges under counters? I was in Uni and I was in a dorm and I saw that there was a counter on top of the fridge and I thought mabey maxis used moveobjects on and put the fridge under the cheapest counter that has nothing under it, but then I move the fridge and I saw it was actually a normal counter it was pretty cool and something I never knew about!

is he trained to be hostile towards others? That might do it

[olomaya]

I found out that kids will throw table scraps to pets if they beg.

Not just kids. Any Sim can do it. If the pet's hunger bar is low enough and Sims are eating, they will go and beg for food. You actually only have a small window of time to see it because if the Sim is talking while they are eating, the action will cancel out.

I didn't know until recently that dogs can lick toddlers. It's very cute.

I also never knew that if you are on a date and a previous date comes by to drop off roses, they will get furious with you and run away with the roses. (Hey, I earned those 55 simoleons!)

If you kill a playable Sim with boolprop, you don't get any insurance. =(

They don't even have to be that hungry either -- I had a cat show hunger thought bubbles and beg for food when two adult sims were eating despite the fact that said cat's hunger was still in the green! I don't know if this is some new bug introduced in the Pets patch or a feature (if I had a dollar for every time this happened to me IRL, I'd be quite rich!)

[dollrock]

One of my Legacy toddlers has 'Hire a Repairman' in her wants.

[Beccaa2406]

For the first time, I got a memory saying "Had Family Reunion," after one of my toddler's birthday parties.

I didn't know that could happen ^_^

[Outsider]

I discovered one thing some time ago: When you take your sim to eat in a restaurant, and order food, and when the food comes to your table, other sims might STEAL IT!! It happened me twice; First time when this happened, I was playing one of my own sim; okay, I ordered her lobster, and the lobster was put in her table, and all of sudden, Komei Tellerman came, STOLE the lobster from her, took it to another table, and started eating IT!! Luckily, I managed to rescue the meal by throwing a drink on that ugly face of his.
Second time when this happened I was playing with Lilith Pleasant. I ordered her rib, and rib was delivered. But she couldn´t start eating, because this one bi**h tried to steal it, but she didn´t get, it was out of her reach. Okay, for 2-3 sim hour she tried to steal this rib, and I tried to put Lilith eat it! Luckily, she (thief) gave up and went away, so Lilith started to eat in peace.
But I am soooo ANGRY!!! :steam: :madashel: Damn thiefs, freeloaders! :swear: Bast*** Komei and that w***e are someday DEAD!!! :frying: :rip:

[Kakashi_Hatake_SC]

I found out that sims hold hands after they woo-hoo ^.^. It was so cute I've never noticed this before.

Yes, this happens quite often on community lots. I used to think it was funny to steal other Sim's food when it was me doing it to some NPC but when it started happening to my Sims or their dates, I got pissed off. You can download a hack from MATY to stop npcs from stealing your food. If you don't want to, then you just have to be on guard when your Sim gets their food delivered. If you see anyone walking to your table, pause and then shoo them away.

[Bad Kay]

I found a little house at the edge (sp?) of Pleasantview! It's pretty cute and small. When you have the trailers (where the Brokes live), you have to search around a little and there it is!

[Maxe_SC]

Today, I found out that members of the secretclub (dont know how you call it by us in germany they call it geheimbund) make a funny sign to find out who a member is or not!

Moreover sims can make a firedance!

[AngelFrouk]

You mean the 2x2 lot with that rundown shack?
It's a cute house, but don't play it unless you have NL (or was it OfB?). Because the 2x2 lot isn't uncluded in the base game and Uni EP, the lot can become corrupted very easily. Not sure right now if the 2x2 lot came with NL or OfB...

[longdaysend]

very true what angel said..i've had random game crashes, total asperation failures (that couldn't be fixed) and sims disappearing on thier way to to the mailbox....if you play it, dont use anyone you like very much because they might not make it out alive:)

unless of course you have NL :D

[Bad Kay]

Ooh, so it's cursed? :p I do have Nightlife so I don't have to worry about it, I guess.

[PennyTheCorgi]

I found out that any adult pet can lick or snuggle a baby pet, I thought it could only happen between parents and babies.

[AngelFrouk]

Sounds very... creepy... Even better than the house of the fallen trees...

[Bad Kay]

But I don't get it, why would Maxis put a 2x2 lot in the game if it doesn't really 'excists' yet..

[AngelFrouk]

But I don't get it, why would Maxis put a 2x2 lot in the game if it doesn't really 'excists' yet..
Same reason why a lot of people didn't notice this lot. It's on the edge and can be overlooked very easily. I think that's what happened. Noone saw the lot until the game already was in the stores. And by that time it was too late to fix it.

[Menaceman44]

Meh. I played that lot for a while when I first found it and I never had any problems with it.

[Ghost sdoj]

My husband's biggest problem with it was that you need to demolish the house and build a new one if you want room for both a sofa and a bed. Other starter houses have room for both, and cost about the same as that one does.

[longdaysend]

i loved it because it was super small and perfect for my personal fantasy of living in a little house in the woods...but after losing a few sims i just stayed far way from it. it is much better than the house of fallen leaves for the 'what the heck just happened?!" factor..lol
and it is tiny but if you slap a 2nd story on it and just have the stairs outside the house it works out..you get a bedroom and a bathroom that way.

[Bad Kay]

What's the house of the fallen leaves?

[AngelFrouk]

What's the house of the fallen leaves?
It's a downtown house that came with NL:

[AdmiralAeris]

Me either, and it isn't the only 2x2 lot in the base game -- Brandi Broke's starting lot and several of the flat roof lots in Pleasantview are also 2x2.

[Menaceman44]

Today I noticed that when a Sim is on a date they get a little motive boost when the date meter goes up a level and when the date ends well.

[roze20000]

I was making a beachside restauraunt type community lot and when I placed it really close to the edge of the water, in fact it was laying on top of the sand part, when I entered the lot to start building the entire neighborhood turned to a sand terrain!

I never tried this before so I didn't realize the whole neighborhood could change like that! It was pretty neat.

[Marquis3030_SC]

Well today I discoverd a weird version of the Pussy Cat Dolls i dont know where that came from but it was cool =]

[AtropaMandragora]

You mean the song? I think that came with OFB. There were quite a few artists who contributed with their songs in simlish for that one. :)

[Ribbonsinmyhair]

My sim was at a bar and some townie stole her drink. Well there was no way she was gonna take that, so she splashed a drink in her face. Now she hates her.lol And I also found out that you can get a restaurant coupon in the mail. ^_^

[Menaceman44]

Nope! The Simlish Pussycat Dolls music came with Pets. There was an article on a gaming website about it.

[weanu]

i discovered that if i leave my bf to play for 30 mins while i take a shower, he will 1) Kill at least 3 of my sims, 2) ONE of them being my absolutely most fave one of all, and 3) He'll save it(arg!!!) and turn the game off hoping i wouldnt notice.

[eruwenfuin]

I discovered that you can train cats to go to the toilet...

[HCAC]

I discovered you can stick the love notes you get after a nice date on your counters or shelves and guess what? They stand up and you SEE a photo of the person who sent you a note! It's the FIRST time I noticed that in 2 years of playing this game..

If you want to see, I posted some pictures in the random pic thread.

Holy crap, i totally didn't know that! ::Gunna try it when her game works again: =D

[longdaysend]

i discovered sims will 'congratulate' even the most mundane or off-beat things. e.g. teen and step mom walked to each other..step-mom congrats on getting an A+ in school..teen, in return, congratulates step-mom on woohooing dad...yeah...in the real world i would think the teen was being sarcatic.."gee thanks, congrats on sleeping with my dad" but i think she was being sincire :D

Brokes lot:

yeah, angel...some of those white "condos" are 2x2... as well but for some reason the hidden lot is glitched out and the rest arent..at least i never had a problem with the others. it would be fantastic if someone could disect the code and see if its different from the other 2x2s at the programming level. im thinking maybe when they created that lot, it was done on a game that had some elements that were removed from the final copy and the game is trying to execute someting thats not there.

[Toffee9994]

I discovered the action carry away. There was a fire in the Broke household and the toddler was near the fire Brandi walked into the room with the fire, ran over to the toddler picked him up and ran outside to set him down it was so cool I looked at the action and it said carry away. She ran back to go do the fire dance though. :wow:

And that Vampires apperantly like gardening...

[Nicole_artist]

I discoverd that when you press, I think it was contol and shift, that you get the house's stats. You have to move the mouse slightly though. Try it!

By the way, I'm new. Hi! *waves* :howdy:

Also, you know how sim teenagers are really flat chested when you look from the side, unless you've downloaded a mesh? Well in the tops section, if you choose a t - shirt, they are really big! It's so weird. I don't know if it's the same for adults. Try it to see. ;)

I'm also a member of MTS2, albeit a very quiet one. But you should see all the stuff I've downloaded! Like 10 000 things! (Yes, I know I go over the top, XD)

[longdaysend]

the carry away seems ealy sweet..how very realistic of them...(ignoring the whole running back TO the fire part :P).

the congratulation thing is getting out of hand in that house..maybe this girl just hates her step mother she congratulated her for setting the grill on fire,having one of the twins grow up (but not the other one) and making out with dad....maybe shes glitched, or just extremely congratulatory all the time...oh and she congratulated her friend (brought home from school) on brains? teenagers are wierd..even in a virtual world :D

[XSilver]

Sims can "warm body" and "poke" the fire in the fireplace.

Sims can, apparently, go skinny dipping.

Really? How do you get that action to pop up?

[Pantamailon]

I found out that sims don't care who they're woohooing with when I'm not watching, even if it happens to be their cousin's great aunt's niece....
And that sims will woohoo on free will...

[Axe Gaijin]

I discovered that when your sim is using a computer and a servo run amok, you can get electrocuted...
I also discovered that redesigning a Maxis Downtown lot takes 3 times longer then you'd anticipated, every time you go to "testdrive" you'll find something that doesn't quite work or you forgot to add :)

[Stasis Field]

That two of my Sim's kids were born with Maxis skintones :(.

[Frenchie]

Really? How do you get that action to pop up?
Outgoing sims undress totally before entering a hot tub.
Also, Stasis Field, I'd advise you to get default replacement skintones if you don't like your babies to have Maxis skin :)

[Stasis Field]

I have default replacements, but it seems they've glitched out in this particular family.

[Ghost sdoj]

That is one of the handiest features of OFB. If you have one family whose job is to test the community lots you build, you can use family funds or motherlode to have them buy the lot. They can test out most of the lot and make changes while they are there. You can grab townies to be bartenders, djs, store clerks, etc. for a full staff. (You don't really care if they all end up unemployed after this, do you?) Then they can sell it back to the community once it is working right. You can even cheat them enough money to pay the salary and make needed improvements. Of course once it is owned you can only build on the lot while the owner is on it, so you still want to do as much as you can before anyone buys it.

[AngelFrouk]

I discovered that Angel f speaks German(I think?)! lol
Nope, i speak Frysk and Dutch :)

[longdaysend]

sims will autonomously call home when at college if they own a cell phone.
sims will roll wants for which major they would like (i never gave them the chance before :) )
dustin broke isn't such a bad guy once he has at least one "grew up well" memory.
and last but not least..the congratulatory teen (now an YA) is just really all about it. she congratulated her fiance on getting engaged..to her!

[AtropaMandragora]

While I knew that messy adult sims who are visiting the household you're playing sometimes will rummage through the trash can in search of something to eat, I never knew (until a couple of minutes ago) that messy kids will actually jump INTO the trash can.

[Tigress_SC]

I have default replacements, but it seems they've glitched out in this particular family.

Does one of the parents happen to have a custom skintone?

Sometimes if one parent has a custom skintone that is just created for one particular gender and or age group, if their children inherit that skintone, they get maxis skintones.

[Stasis Field]

I know :) but the custom skins I have (use regularly) work for all ages. As I said before, the family seems to have glitched out on me.

[Axe Gaijin]

Today I discovered that Uma Thurman, Bjork & Angelina Jolie make quite handsome male sims with minimal tweaking.... Go figure... :blink:

[yamikuronue]

Nope, i speak Frysk and Dutch :)

well then, today I learned I can't tell German from Dutch ^^ which is understandable, since I only speak english, a little spanish, and a little japanese

[Julieth]

I learned that your sims can "buy off" their enemies for 50 bucks, and the enemies will stop hating your sims. Weird, eh?

[longdaysend]

teenagers will "chill" on swingsets,they just sway a bit and lean back a bit... scrape thier toe along the ground, which is hysterical to me because i remember doing that...lol

not a discovery per say but i entertained myself for a half hour last night just picking up a crawling toddler and placing him all over the house, including one photo i took that looks like hes going to crawl off the counter top. old news yes but still funny to look at:P

I found out that if you make a vampire sim meditate in the sun all day long, his/her needs won't be in decay, they're considered like just normal sims and are not in danger.

[skylark]

I discovered that I've become wayyyyy too used to all the options in body shop!

I went into CAS to make extras for a story I'll (hopefully) post soon and wanted to cry at the lack of options for modifying their faces. I wanted to cry! And these were just the extras - they'll be in one, maybe 3 shots and then POOF! gone forever. But I got upset because I couldn't modify them enough... (so apparently I'm turning into a perfectionist too).

[joanne_SC]

i found out that sims do not wipe their bottums after goiung to the bathrrom, it only took me like .... how long to notice that!! :)

[Ghost sdoj]

I discovered that I get too fond of my sims. I have a vampire who is trying to get revenge on a pair of servos who fell in love and ran away from him. When one of them came back to visit, he naturally powered her down and is keeping her there. I woke up twice last night trying to figure out how she is going to be rescued!

[Melodyway17]

A lifetime want I hadn't never seen before (I always get the boring ones, like - "Be Mad Scienitis" or "Have 6 grandkids" or "3 kids of College" Junk d:< ) "Have 6 pets Reach Career Top Level" for my fortune sims - bleh, how annoying -_-" Honestly, I love pets, but to have six under the same roof? No thanks! *blech*

[skylark]

I discovered that Rose and Daisy Greenman absolutely suck at catching fireflies OR butterflies... They kept trying and caught absolutely nothing!

I also learnt that a 2 second lag on my PC heralds the game creating something for the first time... like the lead werewolf or the first spring shower - after that it doesn't happen again.

[Infernal]

That if you make a plant sim a vampire, you can't reverse it (seemingly) and they die a slow and painful death

[Ghost sdoj]

Can't they get cured with the vampirocillin?

[Pandaness]

I discovered that the stray animals are persistantly irritating. A stupid big grey/black dog keeps on coming to my sim's house everyday around 3:00pm, just to bark at the door, dig a hole (in the same spot) and then leave.

[AxelValentine]

I discovered all the fun that can be had by leaving Free Will on. I always turn it off.

And I learned that if a sim is furious with someone else they can 'Bad mouth' them. And the sim they're furious at for whatever reason will sometimes run into the house and slap someone they don't even know.
And, last one, sims can autonmously get into fights on lots with people they haven't met yet. That's happened quite a lot recently for some reason.

[Ghost sdoj]

I take it that you have some sims with a low niceness score? Grouchy sims tend to want to argue with anyone they don't have a high relationship with. (Like someone who just wandered by and said hello.) It's even worse if they are playful enough to play practical jokes on total strangers.

[Menaceman44]

I discovered today that Sims get a memory of the first time they see snow. Nice. It's a memory my Strangetown Sims wont have the pleasure of getting seeing as I don't want it to snow in the desert.

[AxelValentine]

I don't know Sidney. They didn't do this until I got Uni and NL installed. I have quite a few furious sims walking around right now.

[AdmiralAeris]

Axel, I remember that my sims seemed to initiate negative socials a lot more after I installed NL, so I think that EP is the "culprit".

[Ghost sdoj]

Now that you mention it, that seemed to cause it more for me as well.

[Peace]

I didnt know sims can play with the fridge. And well this one kinda freaked me out. I have a house that i use to move in Elders, lets call it the farewell house. Today was the 4th sim that I "moved on to a better place" Grim comes and the hula girls and I get a pop up that says " If the point of playing the Sims 2 was to kill off all of your Sims, then you would be a world champ!!!!" Then it went on saying something about the sims being a LIFE simulator. and moving another family into the house.
I have 7 other families in the neighborhood! Anyone else see this.

[iunplugthings]

Maivia- no way! I would die laughing. I've never seen that... mostly because I hardly ever make it to the elder stage without getting bored... :P

[ameeeee]

whats this insim all about??

[Ghost sdoj]

It is an in-game hacking system which allows you to do all kinds of things to/with your sims from altering their life stage to making them pregnant with a child by someone they never met. For some people it is indispensable, for others it makes things too easy. But it is very handy to have it if you are making movies or taking pictures, because you can summon other sims, then take control of them so they will pose for your shot. You can have multiple controlled sims. Check out the Insiminator site for more details; there is a TON of stuff it can do.

[AtropaMandragora]

I discovered that since installing Seasons, taking care of babies is alot more work than it used to be. Plus, toddlers get dirty faster, and now require at least two baths a day.

[AxelValentine]

That pops up when you kill all the sims in one household. It's only happened once to me - when I was letting them do everything on their own to see who would drop dead first.

[TheDuecedFaerie_SC]

That if you make a plant sim a vampire, you can't reverse it (seemingly) and they die a slow and painful death

Isn't there supposed to be a sunlamp for vampire plant sims...? :blink:

[pinkplushii]

Today I discovered that it is important to keep track of who is dating who in your neighborhood. See, I have this slut sim, who wants to do woohoo with 20 different sims as a lifetime want (yikes.) Well, I forgot that Raelyn and Kadaj had crushes on each other, since they kind of did it to themselves. Well, I had slut sim do a Wolf Whistle on Kadaj. Then all the sudden Raelyn comes running over and slaps slut sim, then she runs over to Kadaj and slaps him. Apparently she told him she hated him, since they where no longer friends and they where no longer crushes. Then Kadaj went into a corner and cried. o_O;

[bacon164]

Flashes of lightening can set the mood for a scene quite well.

[Menaceman44]

I discovered how easy it is to get a plant Sim and how hard it is to keep their Sun motive full even WITH a sun lamp.

[purplestarz2006]

I discovered that pregnant sims have individual differences when it comes to morning sickness. Some of my sims will spend nearly the entire day in front of the toilet, but others simply stand there and sway and their comfort level goes completely red, which doesn't happen with the toilet people.

[UtopiaGlam]

I found out that it's not so hard to have beautiful plants without using a fertilizer

[yamikuronue]

Isn't there supposed to be a sunlamp for vampire plant sims...? :blink:
yeah, but it costs $2000!

Also, I don't have issues keeping my plants in full sunlight. I just move stuff outside and let them spend all day outside, then take a bath and socialize all night to boost the other 2.

[Derange]

Today I found out that I can't get enough of Vlad running naked around his house.

Oh, you mean in the actual gameplay? ;) Sims freeze awfully fast.

[SpacemanHPSpiff]

I learned that if your sim walks by a snapdragon, sometimes they get really random flowers floating from their head. I thought I remembered seeing flowers floating around in NL trailers, but this happens near the snapdragons...

http://forums.sims2community.com/showpost.php?p=789754&postcount=472 (Last picture)

[WooHoo]

Turns out closing those captions in the top right corner is a deeply rooted habit for me... I tried to do it to the picture in the link... then got confused and tried harder when it didn't work.

Well, anyway... I learned that it is reeeeally hard to play a single mother raising twins. I suppose I could do it if I didn't care about teaching them to walk/talk and all that, but I'm not willing to compromise my toddler's education.

[Ghost sdoj]

The flowers around people with walking past a snapdragon are from the motive boost it's giving them. Sometimes they even autonomously get a 'to do" icon with the flower picture and the caption "smells yummy".

They are also cumulative. A collection of 6 to 8 vases in a small area will have everything except energy built up every time they let out a pink cloud. I'm starting to LOVE those things!

[sims2germany]

I learned that you can "Compost" your NewsPapers for the Garden, instead of just throwing them away.

I learned that the NPC Gypsy will also sell you a Potion for "PlantSimism" - not just the normal "Love Potion" - "Ask for Blind Date" routine, which is cool; but makes me wonder why is the Garden Club NPC selling this Potion too?
Must be EP related string theory.

I also learned that the Penguin will talk to ScareCrows too, not just Snowmen - which is pretty damn Funny! :P

[WooHoo]

I learned that compost eventually goes away while in the compost bin.

(The Garden Club NPC sells that potion in case you don't have Nightlife. Just like the Obedience Trainer sells werewolf potions. After all, if someone didn't have Nightlife, they might not have the Gypsy. And the Gypsy has all the potions because she's the Gypsy.)

[PunkyBreester]

I was disapointed when it didn't snow enough for me to do any of the snow-related interactions during my first winter, but when a blizzard hit during the second winter and my game crashed (almost taking my whole computer with it), I decided I liked the wimpy winters better.

Gardening is pretty easy, especially if you build up to a gold badge. Put some sprinklers down, talk your plants up to "thriving", and then all you have to do is pull out weeds every now and then and there you go.

In a house where there's rooms in the "attic" you really have to make sure that the game considers it "indoors" during cold weather.. *grumble*

A sim fully dressed in outerwear can go outside to get the newspaper in the Fall and freeze to death on the way, while another sim can romp around outside for hours in her bathing suit mid-winter and be perfectly fine..

And finally, large families are really hard to take care of hack-free. I eventually just resorted to maxmotives + motivedecay off.

[kinneer_SC]

I discovered my Sims can be vicious and wish another Sims dead!

She losted a fight with another Sim and now one of her wants is to see the ghost of the Sim she lost the fight with. :)

[AzrielParasiel]

I've discovered that with the new Seasons EP, sims doesnt take up as much memory and I dont get the "you've exceeded your virtual memory paging file" message for hours rather than minutes like with the Pets EP

[UtopiaGlam]

Oh, you mean in the actual gameplay? ;) Sims freeze awfully fast.
That's what I saw too! The child of my main family in the new neighbourhood was making a snowman outside, while I was busy with my other sims inside. He came to freeze and the social worker was already here before I could do anything to warm the poor boy... :weep:

[Lunarsea]

I discovered that the new penguin is mathimatical genius! It was discussing the subject with a snowman on my lawn! :D

[AtropaMandragora]

I discovered kids can get to stay home from school due to blizzards. :)

[sims2germany]

I discovered that you have to join the Garden Club to be awarded, "The Well".

I looked and looked, and looked some more...."Where is the dang Well?".

Then, I read a post about the Garden Club, eeeerrrrggg!

So, I tried to make a buyable Well, using simPE - because I am not having much luck with the Garden Club.

I spent 3 hours going through the different files of Seasons and compiled all of the Well files and cross-copied technique for a new object; (Sometimes you can do this without waiting on simPE update.).

But, to no luck, it was a good grouping/project but like the Stones' say, "You can't always get what you want.".

So, now I am reserved on trying the Garden Club routine again, (Until a simPE update!).

Fleeb!

[Axe Gaijin]

I discovered that Sims 2 is just as adictive as World of Warcraft, only without the handy little in-game clock to remind you it's 4am allready and that it might be a good idea to get some sleep.

[XSilver]

Plantsims are really easy to play and they give "birth",or have spores, to plant-toddlers in a heart beat. Plantsims only have 3 life stages (toddler,adult and elder), don't have baby/child/teenager stages(which is good for people like me who can't play all the stages without being bored).

[yamikuronue]

I discovered that Sims 2 is just as adictive as World of Warcraft, only without the handy little in-game clock to remind you it's 4am allready and that it might be a good idea to get some sleep.

that's why I play in window mode XD

[Seiza]

I discovered you can't move out an adult with a toddler. >_< For some reason, I took for granted it was possible...

[EDIT] Well, I'm a certified idiot. It IS possible. I just had to wait a bit longer for the toddler to get transported over to the new home. XD;

[Hyperkitty21]

How much I LOVE Seasons!

[coltraz]

- I discovered that on campus, a girl who graduated and is living in Pleasantview still comes to the house that her sister, brother, and girlfriend live in, and just walks right in and makes herself at home.
- Don't let your guests get food poisioning, because they mess up your toilet every time they come over.
- Boolprop and "make selectable" is fantastic for so many things. You can put NPCs into college, you can select another sim in a community lot and make them buy clothes with the original Sim's income, you can trade furniture or other objects by having one Sim in one household put items into their inventory, and then on another household, invite that Sim over, make them selectable, and remove those things from their inventory.

[venusdemilosims]

If there is more than one phone in a house, and one sim is on the telephone, another sim in the same house can join in a conversation. I found this out while playing my custom sorority house.

I also discovered (while talking to my simbuddy on IM) how badly I WANT seasons! :howdy:

[Zora_SC]

I learned that if your sim walks by a snapdragon, sometimes they get really random flowers floating from their head. I thought I remembered seeing flowers floating around in NL trailers, but this happens near the snapdragons...

You do get flowers floating around you in NL...if you put on cologne. :anime:

[iunplugthings]

I discovered that if Seasons doesn't get here soon... the FedEx man might just disappear....

*grumbles*

[Tigress_SC]

I've discovered that with the new Seasons EP, sims doesnt take up as much memory and I dont get the "you've exceeded your virtual memory paging file" message for hours rather than minutes like with the Pets EP

Yes! And for some reason Seasons has made my game faster than usual.

[TwilightSilver]

I discovered very goodlooking parents can spawn very ugly children.


Two of my favorite simmies were having their first baby. It was very ugly. She looked as if she had a mustache. Then she grew into a toddler. Stilllllll ugly. I worried a little, but I hoped maybe it was temporary, like she'd "grow into" her face. I thought maybe it was ugly duckling dream story or something.


Nope. She was just an ugly duck. Their second kid was beautiful. I felt bad for the poor older child. It reminded me of how random Maxis genetics can be.

[yamikuronue]

It reminded me of how random Maxis genetics can be.
Unless you forget to roll the pacifier ~_^

[TwilightSilver]

Unless like my situation, they were born in game. I think it was like 3rd gen of a family..4th maybe...I also discovered that Nervous Subject is quite adorable at times.
Heh, that took me a while.

[UtopiaGlam]

Yes! And for some reason Seasons has made my game faster than usual.
Same for me, my game is faster and also, several bugs I had with Pets have disappeared! I love Seasons!

[Hollowtear]

I discovered that you can redecorate a book. You have four different books to chose from, A yellow diary looking one, A romance book, a child's book, and a blue one.

[obssessed-with-sims2]

I discovered there was some weird floating pig in one of my neighbourhoods.

[Ghost sdoj]

The pig flies around my Downtown all the time. Once I even saw 2 of them!

[PennyTheCorgi]

I discovered that you can redecorate a book. You have four different books to chose from, A yellow diary looking one, A romance book, a child's book, and a blue one.

How do you do that?

[Menaceman44]

Use the redesign tool on a book I guess.
I discovered that a PlantSim becomes brown when their needs drop too low.

[MattieMayfair]

I discovered that every house needs a phone :) lol yep i forgot to add some when my familys started having familys of there own. Also i learnt that You cant buy pets from the University town. I dunno why. I had to go and take my Adult who lives with his wife at university through the (adults go to college hack) and make him go all the way to Verona to buy a cat lol.
Also i learnt that if a sim dies as a werewolf they come back as 1. (I killed my Werewolf cuz every night at 8pm he froze my game.) glad i save often.

[TheDuecedFaerie_SC]

I discovered Plantsims can't change their hair.... :(

EDIT: Snapdragons...? Why haven't I noticed these before...? :blink:

[Menaceman44]

I discovered PlantSims can play "Do Plants Love Me?" with the flowers in their hair

[Hollowtear]

How do you do that?

yup just use the redesign tool on a single book.

[tlynnjpeg]

I feel silly with this one. Body Shop apparently does not need the disc in. I went to check something really quick, so I opened it up. While I was waiting for it to start, it occurred to me that I had taken my disc out a few days ago (it usually lives in my drive), and I hadn't put it back yet. But sure enough, Body Shop started up just fine.

-Jpeg

[QueenScorpio_SC]

What is a plantsim??

[PennyTheCorgi]

What is a plantsim??

Its the creature that came with Seasons EP. If your sim spray pesticides on there garden to much they turn into a plant sim.

I can't believe it took me this long to find some of this stuff out! today I played sims 2 alot and I found out:

1. If you have two computers in your sims house they can play a LAN game.
2. If a sim is juggling coffee cups, another sim can join him.

[QueenScorpio_SC]

Ooohhhhh....thanks :)

[sm0ke19]

i discovered that death isn't the release from earthly cares we were always told it was... i was playing my sim family from the story i was writing...the whole household was fishing in the pond...in the fall...(not sure how safe or hygenic it is to consume fish caught in a pond in an abandoned cemetary)...i was working on thier badges and the sun went down...and of course with about 10 real sim graves in the cemetary i got several ghosts drifting around the lot...then i noticed they looked kinda odd ...i thought ohh great a glitch... well it wasnt a "real" glitch but rather a somewhat silly maxis oops...as soon as my ghosts passed through the inner gate in the cemetary....they put on ghostly outer wear...it was pretty funny and i was thinking ..."hey guys...your dead ...you cant get much colder"

the game is awesome and im loving it...even if my ghosts do get cold now

smokepanther

[PennyTheCorgi]

lol smoke, that's so funny! :lol: I'll have to try that, I'v gotta see a ghost put on outerwear. :D

[Axe Gaijin]

I discovered that Sim Toddlers can be so unbelieveble cute, it just makes you smile ear to ear.
I also discovered that spilling half a cup of coffee over your trackball isn't a good idea...

[sm0ke19]

lol smoke, that's so funny! :lol: I'll have to try that, I'v gotta see a ghost put on outerwear. :D

lol hope you enjoy it...it was so out there to see a ghost get "cold"...remember though...they appeared normally...they didnt put on the outerwear untill they had passed through a gate ...i suppose a door would work as well...anyway have fun

[Menaceman44]

Today I discovered how to get Sims to woohoo in a lift (elevator)

[iunplugthings]

Today I discovered how amazing Seasons is. I love the thunder/lightning.... it's so cool! The new furniture is great too!

[frakusv2]

...That taking care of plants, having TWINS and 4 cats is a big challenge. There is never enough "me" time where the sim is concerned. So am about to sell all the cats and try to manage as a "single farming" mother.

[Ghost sdoj]

Today I discovered how to get Sims to woohoo in a lift (elevator)
Just be careful with that unless you are curious about "death by elevator"

[XSilver]

The consequence of using the weather creator(aspiration reward) with below gold aspiration can make it rain fire. O.o Scary for the Broke family.

[Raz]

Today I discovered that toddlers can eat snow :)

[iunplugthings]

So, it took me forever to notice this, but the number of candles on the birthday cake are different depending on age. I had two kids in one of my family blow out their candles on the same day - one was turning into a teenager, one was turning into a child.

[tlynnjpeg]

I just noticed that earlier today too! Though I noticed it while reading simstories.

There are all these random things I keep running into. I'm mostly amazed because the only EP I have is Uni. I can only imagine all the stuff that'll be "new and amazing" once I can finally afford more EPs.

-Jpeg

[leighcy]

I discovered that since installing Seasons, I keep getting female sims that are just floating heads. It goes away when they change clothes or take a bath, but it's annoying. :(

[coltraz]

thats a custom clothing error. got the same thing. find the clothing that is invisible and delete it.

What i learned:

-It rains/snows in the neighborhood view if it's snowing or raining on the lot you were last playing on. Cool!
-you can't plant a tree on soil. What's with that??
-when you've got a bunch of skills you don't have to start at the bottom of a career... which is maybe obvious, or something everyone's always known, but i had no clue until this evening.

[iunplugthings]

-when you've got a bunch of skills you don't have to start at the bottom of a career... which is maybe obvious, or something everyone's always known, but i had no clue until this evening.

I noticed that not too long ago myself. Amazing, the things that are in this game.

[behold_the_muse]

You can move snowmen in buy mode. No more snowmen facing weird directions!

[Berg_SC]

-when you've got a bunch of skills you don't have to start at the bottom of a career...
Yes, you do, if you search for a job through the newspaper. The computer gives you a job according to your skills. :)

I found out that if you put love letters, the ones you get from good dates, on tables, they turn into cards! Kewl! I always wondered what good they did, other than clogging up a sim's inventory...

[coltraz]

aaahhh, understood. she did get her job off the computer so it makes sense. cool!!

[Reindeer911_SC]

I discovered lightning strikes on gravestones will cause ghosts to appear.

[atiya]

After playing with University for two weeks, I finally figured out how to get the campus directory. :doh

On the plus side, I got my first alien abduction.

[missinickib_SC]

I was looking through Mortimer's family tree, and it shows that he and Bella were never married! It also shows that she is very much alive.

[Proxian_girl]

Turning into a Plantsim doesn't warrant a cutscene. I got my first today, and she's quite adorable.

And... all my female sims seem to be lesbians! My Legacy Challenge girls are lesbians, my Asylum Challenge girls are lesbians... D= I mean, it's not like I'm homophobic or anything, but I thought it was only supposed to be 10% of the population that is homosexual!

[Brandon14]

Lucy Burb is the most beautiful sim ever.

well you can probably persuade them to love a male :p

[Colin152]

I learned that when combining "Move Objects" with "boolprop snapobjects to grid false" while sims are dancing, you can get some pretty... interesting pictures. Like, crazy odd pictures.
Oh, I also found that, with my hack that allows Teen-Adult romance, A teen can get very, VERY far with their own aunt, to the point that they can have both a cousin, AND a child. Very disturbing.

[chrisyudbs]

I found that Sims can get a coupon for free dining if they had a dream-date dining out!

[yamikuronue]

I found that Sims can get a coupon for free dining if they had a dream-date dining out!

oh, is THAT what triggers that? Awesome.

[Proxian_girl]

well you can probably persuade them to love a male :p
I did get my Legacy Spare to have three bolts for a guy (which was interesting because he only filled one of her Turn-Ons...).

Uncontrolled sims won't touch the juicer, or any served juice. This caused a slight problem in my Asylum Challenge when I wondered why sims were starving when there was fresh orange juice on the counter.

[Zora_SC]

Today I discovered that if, while in camera mode, you hit ctrl+1 then exit camera mode, then go BACK to camera mode, you can go to the exact same camera positioning by typing 1!!

And that works for all numbers!

This is gonna make photoshopping poses so much easier...somebody should have TOLD me. :anime:

It doesn't work for 1, 2, or 3, since they change the speed of the game.

[Menaceman44]

I discovered that it doesn't seem possible to plan a Sims' Outerwear clothing. I've tried on dressers, wardrobes and on the new coat rack to no avail dispite my Sims' owning multiple Outerwear outfits.

[AdmiralAeris]

What I learned from my first day with Seasons:

It is possible to got twins from "Spawn Plantbaby".

Leod MacGreggor hates people looking through the telescope in the daytime (I was trying to find out who was the "telescope shover" in Riverblossom Hills).

[Frenchie]

I discovered that it doesn't seem possible to plan a Sims' Outerwear clothing. I've tried on dressers, wardrobes and on the new coat rack to no avail dispite my Sims' owning multiple Outerwear outfits.It works to me! Maybe you should try and remove your hacks, then try again?

Thats really weird! I didn't notice that... I knew that accesories disappear underwater (same with hair :lol:).

I learned that anything involving 37 selectable people on the same lot = crash :lol:

[UtopiaGlam]

I discovered that it doesn't seem possible to plan a Sims' Outerwear clothing. I've tried on dressers, wardrobes and on the new coat rack to no avail dispite my Sims' owning multiple Outerwear outfits.
I had the same problem and it was because I had Squince's "Pregnant Sims Wear Any Outfit" mod, that was conflicting with Christianlov's hacked dresser. I removed Squinge's mod and now it works fine.

[Frenchie]

Thats really weird! I didn't notice that...I only noticed that thanks to your contest :p When you make a character who always wears shades pose and then notice she doesn't have them anymore, you start checking for the causes -after turning the camera-. :p Here, the ghostlike sim made with a cool hack from MTS2, I think :D

[behold_the_muse]

I learned that anything involving 37 selectable people on the same lot = crash :lol:

Try 96! My game didn't crash, but it lagged like you would not believe. But all my shiny new residents met each other and formed their own friendships and rivalries. I even had a fight because a romance sim flirted with a married woman in front of her husband!

[MattieMayfair]

Today i learned how the elevators work. I never used them before but i heard about this elevator death so i wanted to try that out. Made my house 6 floors, a few woo hoos and bye bye simmies lol. The hubby died and his wife lived with a cool memory of "plummeted in elevator with me in it next time i better take the stairs".

[AdmiralAeris]

I had the same problem and it was because I had Squince's "Pregnant Sims Wear Any Outfit" mod, that was conflicting with Christianlov's hacked dresser. I removed Squinge's mod and now it works fine.

Are you using the correct version of Squinge's mod? There is a fixed Seasons version available -- I use it (and Christianlov's clothing rack) and have no problem planning outerwear.

[Menaceman44]

I had the same problem and it was because I had Squince's "Pregnant Sims Wear Any Outfit" mod, that was conflicting with Christianlov's hacked dresser. I removed Squinge's mod and now it works fine.

But I don't have any clothing hacks...
I'll still have a look through though and see if anything else could be causing it.

Are you using the correct version of Squinge's mod? There is a fixed Seasons version available -- I use it (and Christianlov's clothing rack) and have no problem planning outerwear.
Yep, I was using the updated version. But it's OK since I don't miss it much :)

I discovered (actually a while ago) that having a Plant-sim for your controlled sim makes the Asylum Challenge a lot easier, since that sim doesn't have to sleep. I decided to mend this slightly by deleting her bed as though she had died, and by making her meditate for six hours a night while Lolita passed out on the floor. One of the already-dead sims got pissed and started haunting people because apparently I deleted his favorite bed.

I also discovered that a sim who passes out can end up in some pretty weird places-- one got stuck between the sofa and the adjacent living chair! I had to remove him using moveobjects.

I also discovered that I can't make a straight female sim to save my life. Which bothers me because the current heiress to my Legacy is a female, and I have my eyes on a specific guy I want in the family...

[TheDuecedFaerie_SC]

I discovered servo's! Sara is my newest and *almost* favourite family member. Too bad they can't have kids..... *grumbles*

[Tyo]

I discovered that a male zombie won't get pregnant when he's abducted by aliens. :(

[AdmiralAeris]

I discovered that a male zombie won't get pregnant when he's abducted by aliens. :(

Yet another reason for me not to play with zombies (losing all their nice points is bad enough!).

Male PlantSims, though, are fair game for alien pollination... :D

[Axe Gaijin]

I discovered that running a bar dowtown, having Mrs.Crumplebottom visit is a good thing... Not only does she only drink blended drinks she aslo drinks alot :)

I recon I made over 100 simoleons off of her alone ;)

[Sizza]

That I HATE the "It's snowing/raining" reaction

[DarkPhoenix]

That if you leave your college Sims in the undeclared major, sooner or later, they want or fear being in certain majors!

[Seiza]

:O That's very cool! I always get them a major immediately... Hmm, this will work well when I can't decide what I want their major to be.

[MattieMayfair]

Today i discovered that i am bored of my legacy family and have started playing in the Pleasentview with the Calientes lol. I might just get 1 of them to pop in the Legacy family i need some drama there. Also today i learned that having to have birthdays for 4 sims on the same day is crazy!. I was like ok people lets get the show on the move! And totally rocked the party but it was nuts!. No more Qaud Babies for me! lol.

[Deffie]

Playful sims can play in the tub... It's really funny, they pretend they're standing in a boat and sailing and they talk like an old seaman or a pirate. :D

[Lina_SC]

omygod, today I found out that if you click on the chess board when your sims are playing, the option to "cheat" shows up.

[Peace]

Today I noticed that when you marry a townie they bring a lot of money with them and a job. But if you marry an NPC you got $1,000 and no job O_o


Meadow Thayer has a want to be friends with herself! lol

[Ghost sdoj]

Grouchy sims also cheat autonomously. Even when they don't need to. You can also cheat at darts. And they can become furious over losing a game.


Edit: get Meadow a handheld game. Apparently that is how they can become friends with themselves.

[Marie]

I discovered today that 'Play catch' is probably the most enjoyable thing for me to see going on in the backyard (When sims are left unattended).

So like they chat with themselves in the handheld? I dont get it, lol

[Menaceman44]

I think it was a glitch that MAXIS supposedly fixed in a patch. I found one of my Sims yesterday has a memory of meeting himself!

Today I discovered that if a Sim gets struck by lightening they don't always get killed. I wish I had the video function ready when I saw it. A townie JUST walked onto the edge of the lot and lightening struck her. She stopped and looked a bit dazed, complained that she needed a shower and then left the lot again. It obviously wasn't her day.

[PunkyBreester]

The handheld glitch is so annoying. My favorite sim couldn't have a golden anniversary because she had fallen in love with "herself". Apparently that counted as cheating... it was really sad. :(

Today I discovered that no matter how "easy" making clothes and other recolors is.. I really shouldn't attempt it anymore.

[Sizza]

That even tough sim freezes, their eyesmove to the sides! It's kinda funny

[K a t i e]

That my graphic card that I bought for the sims likes to be crappy one second and then 4545676545413246874654321657463413546x better the next. It's frackin annoying!

And and and! My sim still cannot make a grilled cheese sandwich -_- It makes me wanna cry!

[Sizza]

Isn't it broken K_a_t_i_e?

[Passion4Film]

- I love Seasons. Of course, I learned that two weeks ago.

- My game is much faster since Seasons.

- A few of my pregnant Sims will just stand around and cry for no reason at all every now and then.

- I realized how easy it is (for me at least) to recolor clothes with Body Shop.

- Any of my Sims can get any LTW, regardless of aspiration. And the funny thing is - I'm not sure if I hacked that or what. I think I did. lol. :blink:

[HCAC]

Kids can get cold fast and then taken away without much warning. My one little boy would not listen to the mother calling him to come in out of the cold...nearly lost him to the social worker.. :handbag:

[Proxian_girl]

I discovered that it is HARD AS HECK to get promoted now! I've just about mastered making friends and learning skills, but my sims never get promoted! Is that a Seasons thing, I wonder?

[coltraz]

I discovered that if you move a Sim into a house that was previously lived in, doors that were locked to allow a certain Sim only remain locked, and if you buy a fridge then you get the leftovers from the household that moved out.
Sounds more like a glitch to me. :)

[leighcy]

I discovered that it is HARD AS HECK to get promoted now! I've just about mastered making friends and learning skills, but my sims never get promoted! Is that a Seasons thing, I wonder?

I haven't had that problem. To me, it seems that it's actually easier to get promoted. Do you have any hacks?

[Tyo]

Nannies are insane.
My nanny immediately fell in love with the father of my legacy family upon meeting him. They weren't friends and had no romantic interactions when they met, but the crush and love hearts floated above her head when they met.
He kissed his wife, and now the nanny has a pure hatred for the legacy mother. It's like I'm playing a Sim version of Hand that Rocked the Cradle...or something.

[Axe Gaijin]

I discovered I really like to play Greek Houses....
TOGA! TOGA! TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!

[NH1]

Sims in university don't have 'spring break' or 'summer break' or something. Students at university need soms vacation, no?

It would have been nice, if the amount of hours would just stop during 1 certain season and NOT further decrease. (so it's 5 days long, 'still ?? hours').

[Ghost sdoj]

72 hours is 3 days.

You can get a break for your college student anyway if you accept invitations to go downtown when you get them. Semester time pauses when you go off campus.

[Proxian_girl]

I haven't had that problem. To me, it seems that it's actually easier to get promoted. Do you have any hacks?
If I have anything that so much as remotely resembles a hack, Seasons whines and won't let me use it. :handbag:

[Aleesha]

...ZOMFG that my self-sim behaves like a KITTEN since I reinstalled Pets xDxD

http://s179.photobucket.com/albums/w300/countrybiatch/?action=view&current=movie003.flv

check this out, it's the funniest thing I've EVER seen with sims so far :rofl: :lol:

[Sizza]

What exacly is going on in that video?

[Aleesha]

it's my selfie moving like a kitten or puppy xDxDxDxD

[Menaceman44]

You should be able to fix that if you get SimPE. It lets you choose the species of your character. Seems like the game has got confused with yours.

[Tyreec]

Today I found out that (in Seasons) if you cook the fish that you fish from a pond, each plate fills your Hunger want extremely quickly. From now on I will always have a few plates of these waiting in the fridge for a sim that is on the verge of starvation.
