Playing AL without apartments: witches enough?
spaceface:
Blind date offers are not coded to only happen to unmarried sims. I read about this before, so wasn't surprised when it happened to a married, elder sim.

...random blind dates if not married...
I'm sure I had a married sim get an offer of a blind date. It rather surprised me.
Yea, I've had married sims get offered blind dates, too. Guess it includes initiation into the Sim Cheaters Club. :)
I've seen the results of a bad reputation -- everyone the sim encounters picks on them. The townies either want to poke or yell at the sim with the bad rep. And it really spirals out of control on its own. One sim (Jess Peterson in Desiderata) started getting a bad rep because one of the other trailer park residents took an instant dislike to her and started picking on her, so they got into a fight. Her rep was down to maybe the first tick in the red. I then sent her to one of the community parks to earn some money and creativity skill, and while she was playing, sims would tip her, then wait to greet her - at one point she had 3 or 4 'greet' icons stacked up in her queue. Because she didn't stop playing to greet them, their queues turned to stuff like 'yell at', and when she finally stopped playing, she got yelled at or poked by every townie in the park.
By the time she got home, her rep was pure red, and now every sim she meets wants to annoy/yell at/poke/slap her. :P

I'm a big meanypants for being thrilled about that. My sims always tend to be nice, even the ones who hate each other in my games rarely get into fights. (Just poke-weep-poke-weep loops.) So I'm gonna love seeing a bit more antagonism going around on comm lots, and sims reacting to that one guy who loves poking people and ventrilofarting.

At certain rep levels, you can get discounts on buy mode objects, random blind dates if not married, or a "prototype" to test...always a tv for me. You also can be offered a job at a higher level than the newspaper gives. The only bad rep result I've seen caused higher prices on buy mode objects. Most of my sims are nice. According to IGN, it says that the rep bar level affects your starting relationships with people. However, it says that's the only affect, which is patently false. They say that the benefits are a result of befriending sims in social groups. My one 'hood has no social group sims and I've gotten the benefits. Lies.
And there's that dumb salary thing I need to catch a screen shot of. I want it dead. I had thought it was purely a rep thing, but now I think it has to do with owning a business, since both times I've gotten it it was while I was running a business and the receiver was the owner. You can't zero it out or cancel it out, and the lowest amount is $5/hour.
Salary thing? I've had a few Sims get the "Wow, I'm in the same career as you, I think you should get better wages!" benefit. I agree that it doesn't seem to actually require social group townies at all - a couple of the benefits have come from standard townies IIRC, and the reputation increase is with anyone on a community lot.. so my business owner had max reputation incredibly quickly, as does anyone who goes out on a date or two to a comm lot.
I know what you are talking about, but this isn't the same thing. None of my sims in Onoway have regular careers...they are all currently OFB business owners. No employees. The business owners are the ones who are getting the dialog. It looks like the one you get to set prices on items, but the lowest you can go is $5. Then, your sim receives $5/hour (or whatever you've chosen). You cannot cancel out of it. There isn't any additional dialog, so I can't tell who is giving the "benefit".

I haven't had a married sim offered, so I assumed. I had a sim offered a blind date by his fiance, though. That was nasty.Quote from: MoonDragoness on 2008 September 30, 19:18:30

Gah, I'd love that. All my current sims are nice.
