The Legacy Challenge for TS3

My third generation have now reached teenagers and my second generation heir has finally fulfilled her lifetime wish. Her husband's lifetime wish is golddigger so I was planning to kill her to fulfill his wish and then banish him from the household, but she won't die. I had her tinker with the TV at low handiness skill; once it just increased her skill and the second time it caught on fire. She won't die by fire because she keeps putting it out as she has the brave trait.
The dishwasher broke and I had her fix it but it only increased the skill and now she's at level 5. I don't want to drown her because it'll take too long and I'd rather it be more accidental. Should I just keep getting a technophobe to break things until she croaks? He's already an elder and I don't have much time until he dies.
I'd suggest having her repair something in a puddle of water, that seemed to make my sim get electrocuted easier.

What forums do you frequent? I've never been on one which favours double posting.
Subscribe to mailing lists like Qt-interest@trolltech.com .
Try dispensing with social niceties as simple as a "Hi everybody". Let me know how long you lasted. :)
Like I said. I personally prefer the space savings brought about by the MATY policies.
Things are tighter and more information-dense in other forums or lists, esp for hardcore coders like Linux lists.
But yes, we all have to learn different rules for different forums or communities. When in Rome... it's good to learn Roman (or Latin?).

When in Rome it's good to learn Italian.

Actually, I am subscribed to that list, and while I admit that I don't read it religiously (it's way to high volume for that), people seem perfectly happy to dispense with salutations and the like, and while they are reasonably polite and helpful, they aren't overly so. Every time I've asked for help, I've just posted "Hey, I can't figure this out, does anyone else know how it works?" with no salutations or any extraneous politenesses, and everyone has been perfectly reasonable to me.
Also, double-posting doesn't really mean a whole lot in the context of an email list, so I'm not sure how that's relevant.

On hardcore technical lists, we don't even say "Hey". I got lambasted for omitting things like that. And yes, for bundling posts as well.
I even received a reprimand for top-posting. Usually, top-posting is required on other lists because people just wanna read the latest info, not the most recent history.
