Has anyone noticed since FT that no matter how furious your sims get with the evil mascot (who seems to be all over every college lot 24-7 these days!), they can't beat the crap out of him/her anymore? The most retaliation I can take against them in my game is "Ask to Leave". It's getting really annoying, especially as they keep flirting with my sims and breaking up relationships in each household.

I think I am the only person never to meet this evil mascot.

I deleted all the evil mascots using moveobjects since one of them flirted with my most wanted sim when all his lovers were in the room... Ugh, a lot of slapping
It is annoying through.

Is this a different mascot to the one that just runs into the house and wont leave? Cos that one has never done anyhting other than be in the way.

It's the same one as usual but he's around a LOT more often - in fact, there are 3 different ones and he seems always to show up (it used to be the friendly mascot, the llama, that was around all the time). And there used to be options where you could fight back - those are all gone now.

Join the secret society. Borrow their cowplant as soon as it gets hungry. (Every version of the SS has one.) Buy a hot tub with society money. Now go home.

Park the hot tub near the cow, so the cow can be the first into it. Give the cow enough time to make sure it is nice and clean. (Cowplants don't like dirty food.)

Now call the cow over to an area where there are no sims you care about. While the cow is on its way over, pull out the cowplant and set it down. Now sit back and watch as the bored, hungry cow tries to grab the cake....
