Carpool not showing/no hour warning?
Charamei:
One of my Sims never gets her one-hour notifier or carpool showing up, for no apparent reason.
The house is downloaded, and for some reason was set as community, so I re-zoned it and replaced the mailbox and trashcan. The family in it consists of one Sim and her cat. Jemima is in a custom career, but about ten other Sims in the same neighbourhood are also in that career and have no problems.
Jemima is the one who has never had her one-hour notifier for work, or her carpool. Her cat, Alcibiades, gets his notifiers and carpools just fine. I have 'Fixed Work-State' on the debugger several times, nuked all sim schedulers, basically done anything that looked relevant, including resetting Jemima. Inge's portal revealer shows that all portals are in their correct places, and besides, the cat's carpool shows up.
Since she was Level 10 and everyone else is lower, I tried demoting Jemima via the debug menu on the newspaper - still no dice at Lvl 9, despie the fact that her genuinely Level 9 counterpart works fine. She never reached Level 10 manually, if it's relevant: she was put there during 'hood setup. On the other hand, the same is true of her workmates.
Also, her workmates continually bring her home from work, so it's not that the game simply doesn't register her as employed.
There's no error message in debug mode - the notifier and car just don't come.
Does anyone have any ideas?
abelle:
Have you tried buying her a car and letting her drive to work?
Charamei:
No, because the lot is neither big nor level enough (also, it's 1704, but for testing purposes I'll let that slide). I might go and look up that street parking tutorial, though, and give it a go.
EDIT: Blast. All roads lead to MATY and JadeEliott's deleted tutorial. Does anyone know where I can find a summary?
Simsample:
Someone else asked for this recently, and I found a document where I'd copied and pasted her tutorial. You can download it if you like, though the formatting is a bit wonky:

I hope Jade Elliot doesn't mind this being posted, her tutorial seems to be sorely missed!

I had a similar problem in a custom uni dorm, which also had to be built with the changelotzoning cheat. The students didn't get notices for class or finals time, though everything else was fine. In that dorm, I moved the affected students out, entered the lot in build mode and saved. Then I moved everyone back in, and that solved it.
I'm not sure if that build mode save was necessary; I did it mostly out of superstition. I know you tried re-setting Jemima; have you also tried moving her out and back?
