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).
Ooooh, yes, I sure do have that. That explains it, then. Thanks for letting me know!

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.
You can? eeeep. Obviously I haven't looked at all the right buttons - I've been guessing based on what wants they roll up. <feels very stupid> I'm gonna end up in that News Box sometime soon, hm? <isn't quite sure how all this ripped lips thing works, but I have the feeling if I keep posting I'm gonna find out> :)
Don't feel bad! If you go to the News Box, so can I! My daughter's the one who told me about the date panel having the expandable want box. It sure has made my sim's dating lives much easier!
At the bottom left of the date meter you'll see an aspiration icon and just left of it an arrow. For whatever reason my brain never clicked as to why the arrow would be there. :P
I've always enjoyed populartiy sims. Often I don't worry about them making 30 best friends. They usually end up in a fit of wants that have to do with a particular sim so I've found them pretty easy to keep happy. Once in a while they'll go through a few interactions with one sim then want to move on to another but hey, they're Sims after all.

The only thing though is when they and family sims get stuck on a certain sim they are just friends with, and they get stuck in a cycle of Appreciate, Tell joke/Tell dirty joke/Entertain, Play with, and then rinse and repeat ad nauseam. Sure it's easy to get them into Platinum at that point, but then it gets boring.
Regina:
I agree it gets boring if they do that. LOL Sims have one-track minds.

I just had a thought and I don't remember if I thought to post it here or not and don't want to read all my ramblingness (like as if anyone else does!) to find out!
I've noticed that when a couple of sims are on dates they might come to sort of an impasse in their wants, like there'll be nothing you can fulfill to get the date moving again (say a knowledge sim that suddenly thinks he's got to go back home and study, study, study!). If you click on the other sim and choose flirt>check out sim their wants will re-roll. It also works for their date by clicking and asking if they like what they see. Nine times out of 10 you'll get a fresh set of wants, which is really helpful to get the date back on the right track.
