As many times as I've been downtown, Mrs. Crumplebottom still hasn't appeared on any of my downtown lots. I want to see this purse whacking thing!
You don't have the latest version of TwoJeffs NPC & Visitor Zapper do you? That auto-bans Mrs. Crumplebottom from Downtown lots. If you do have it, just click on your active sim, then click Adjust.../NPC & Visitors.../Allow Mrs. Crumplebottom (or something like that).

As near as I can tell one that's on the job is completely oblivious to what's going on.
The waitresses definitely notice what's going on while they're working. I had a romance sim who was working his way through every downtownie he met in pursuit of the 20 loves at once goal, and made the mistake of taking his latest date out for dinner. I discovered very quickly that not only do the same waitresses work in every downtown restaurant, but also that they seriously object to their lover walking in the door with his new date - slaps flying everywhere!
However, I also discovered a useful trick - if your sim gets caught cheating, as long as you can keep them from being slapped then it's only the cheatee who falls out of love, not the cheater (as soon as they get slapped though, they lose the hearts). So you can acheive the 20 loves at once want even if half those loves now detest your sim...
Uh-huh! I just discovered this tonight! LOL My little Romance sim just broke his Romance girlfriend's heart! I canceled out the slap, though. The fate I have prepared for him is worse than any slap could be so I let him thoroughly enjoy his night out with the other gal. She even brought him a statue.

The best sure-fire way to get them in a good mood is to send them on a date.
And 'sides she rolled up a fear of engagement - obviously romance - and he wants to get married. What's she care anyways?
If you're talking about Mrs. Crumplebottom, she's a family sim. You'd think with that aspiration she'd be all for love and romance! I think she's jealous, though. ;D

lol - no, no, I was talking about my sims first girlfriend. They had a pile of dream dates, fell in love, he rolled up the get engaged want and she had a fear of engagement and wanted 3 lovers at once. Obviously she was romance (he's popularity) and even tho they liked each other really well, he was gonna get hurt - so he dumped her. But she got jealous when he went out with his new girlfriend. Silly sim.
Unfortunately, the new girl seemed liked a better match, but they only had 2 bolts, so I moved her in with him and changed their turn ons and offs all around. I knew they didn't match - he likes makeup and she wasn't wearing any, and she liked black hair and his is brown - turned out she also liked cologne and he never wore any. But no matter how perfectly I set them, they could only get 2. He likes his brother's girlfriend (Stella - she's actually the ingame born sim. He and his brother were Uni students) better :p and Stella's crazy about his brother (and vice versa) - not going to happen, leave her alone guy. Sooo, he moved the 2nd gf back out also. I was afraid she was gonna be hurt and unhappy, but they just waved when she left and she was thinking about money. I guess he wasn't well off enough for her. (she turned out to be money.)
He's having a hard time finding the perfect mate.
Like Gali, I hate it when my perfect matches are fooling around or something. When Stella goes dt she's always running into her father and he's thinking little hearts about some unknown townie or other - and Stella's father and his wife are perfect matches, sweet as anything, and she gave him everything - what's he doing thinking loving thoughts about some other woman, especially when his daughter is right there. bleh. (tho I don't think he's cheating... he'd be doing it autonomously if he was.)

I've been trying to figure out now on earth my sims even KNOW to have those thoughts about some sims they do! My sim invited their burglar friend over. He was chatting with their little girl and she was talking about a sim she has never met who is one of her mom's best friends. The burglar was standing there with hearts around the thought bubbles of this sim of which they were speaking. Now keep in mind NEITHER of these sims have ever met him. Then that night I noticed the little girl dreaming about the sim of their conversation and SHE had hearts around the thought bubble.
One thing I like about the dating feature is that you actually get to see what aspiration the sim being dated is which comes in really handy. That way you can decide whether or not you want your sim to pursue that sim and if not end the date before things get too hot and heavy. It helps eliminate too many hurt feelings. I'd rather most of my sims not have a Dream Date than things getting completely out of hand.
