you should meet my therapist

<< < (2/5) > >>

Zazazu:
I've had Tour Guide offered. I figure since you're not supposed to summon them, you shouldn't accept.

Gwill:
My sim has been a good girl this year:


Another sim had a wedding guest try to set her up on a blind date during her wedding.

I figured that it was poor wording and hit "no." The Therapist didn't show so I hope that was the right way to go.

Is someone supposed to show up with this dialog? I've had the other dialog where a date drops out of the sky if you say yes, but I thought this dialog was to put your number into the hands of a Sim who will start bugging calling you.

I said yes to the question (a normal Sim was offered at the time). No one showed up and no one called either. So I'm not sure which way to answer this question either. My thinking at the time was that Maxis would make the "yes" answer complete the transaction while a "no" answer would do nothing.

SnootCB:
According to the Prima Guide (so take this with a grain of salt):

Quote

Three hours after the introduction (or three hours after your sim returns home from the Community lot), a new unknown townie sim calls to introduce him- or herself.  Initial relationship will be higher than usual.

I'm pretty sure "yes" in this case means, "yes, please introduce me to this new sim" rather than "yes, I do mind, so go away" which would be more grammatically correct.  Sometimes I wish English had a negative yes/positive no word like some other languages, but even if we did EA would probably screw that up too.

Edit:
Actually, I thought about it a bit more, and it is technically correct in most cases to answer both positive and negative versions of a yes/no question in the same way.  So "does Pescado like Emma?" and "doesn't Pescado like Emma?" would have the same yes/no answer.  I don't know if this is the case with a "do you mind if ___ ?" type question, though.  Anyone of you more grammar-oriented people know which is the better answer in this case?  I hope this isn't too off-topic.

witch:
Well, the actual question is; "do you mind...?"

Yes you mind, don't do it; or no, you don't mind, please go ahead.

I suspect EAxis have done it the other way round though.
