"Cursed" Monday...:)
gali:
I don't know if anyone noticed this, but after I installed NL, suddenly my sims, especially before giving a birth, and sometimes even without any cause - receives a large sum of money.
I discoverred it, checking their memories, and once in a while I saw a memory of receiving a big sum of money. Where from? - it's not written, but I received 30,000$ once, and after that - 50,000$, and after that - 10,000$. No, it's not by chance card, because I always ignore it, after my sim was fired just before he had to be promoted to the top stage of his carreer.
Check the memories - I thing that Maxis programmed NL thus, you will get bonuses, helping you to survive without the money cheat...:).

Since most of my sims start out with very little left after buying a house, and I usually have the wifey get pg asap, I would think I would have noticed if they had gotten paid for a non-work day. (Not necessarily, but I would HOPE I'm more observant than that! lol!)
And I have an ecological guru, but she only gets paid for the one day. And she just had a baby on Wed. night. Didn't get paid for any other day, just Wed.
Wonder why some of my sims get paid vacation on non-work days and others don't?

Weird! I have an ecological gurus too, and they get payed each day-off 10,000$.
May be the lot is buggy, and you should try to move them to a new house?

I have always tried to get my Sims pregnant just before having a few days off, because they've been getting paid, even if they weren't scheduled to work, from the very beginning.
Now, I usually have my Sims fairly high in their career, which would mean they'd have vacation days accrued, before they ever got pregnant. If your Sims actually weren't getting paid, this may be the reason.

Well, they just moved to a new house before she got pg.
And I send all my teens to uni, so when they get back to the hood they usually get a job high in the career they take. And this ecoloogical guru is one that I had aged to an elder, then changed back to an adult, so she has something like 13 days vacation accrued. I thought maybe they had to work a certain number of days in one career to accrue vacation so they'd get paid for non-working days, but if that was true, then the EG should have gotten paid for at least Tue., right?
I've been getting them pg usually on the first or second day of their work week so they DO get paid vacation, because they weren't otherwise. I had to get one couple a counterfeiting machine so they could get enough money to buy a crib! (And then they got busted for it!) And it was because the move-in-to-a-new-house time always starts on Monday, and they both started their work week on Wed. or Thur. Had her get pg right away. No paid vacation on days not normally worked, even though she had already gotten the job.
But the sims that have been getting paid for non-work days (that I've noticed) are ones that have been in the job for awhile, so maybe the length of time on the job has something to do with it. But why not my EG? That would be nice, an extra 10G a week for being pg!
Will have to see if she gets paid for not working on Thurs. She has a set of twins already who are now children, and I don't recall that she got any extra vacation pay with them. But then, it may have rung up if I left the room to go potty or something and left the game unpaused. I do that sometimes if they're sleeping and I know I have a minute or two until I have to tend to them.
