Thanks for everyone's advice about the tokens and other stuff in sim memories. I just thought I'd pop back and mention one real oddity with this though. I've just started a new sim in my neighbourhood called Bob Newbury (yes, that one). I made him a janitor of a block of flats. I've literally played him for three sim days and that's not long to get a lot of memories. He has one token in there with this description:
Token - Misc Skill (owned by Therapist)
I really can't think what that is about. He hasn't bottomed out with his aspiration (yet) BTW. In fact, he's been quite happy and pretty social too (he's just met Betty).
I have a lot of those also. Also some from dead sims. I haven't touched them but I am curious.
RainbowTigress:
I can't remember what the Misc Skill refers to, but the owner doesn't mean anything. JM says SimPE doesn't know how to display the data for the owner in this field for this type of memory token, so it displays seemingly random Sims. This doesn't mean anything, but they shouldn't be messed with. I have a lot of Toddler Skill tokens owned by Mortimer Goth in one neighborhood. I think he is the first sim listed in the Sim Description, so his Instance number matches whatever data SimPE is pulling up for that Memory.
ZephyrZodiac:
Seems that to Maxis 0000 and RANDOM mean the same! And why, whatever direction you set the telescope, is it ALWAYS the sim with that number who charges in and attacks the peeping tom? (I remember, before Uni, that both the Calientes were also able to rush in and attack Don Lothario, so they must have changed something!)
agcons:
For ages there was no other sim besides Mortimer who barged in and poked the peeping Tom. Once Mortimer died I wondered what would happen . . . like father, like daughter. She suddenly appeared in a dorm, and walked up to one of the dormies and poked her. I thought something had gone very seriously wrong, but she left the lot normally and the game seemed fine. The next time she barged in was back in Pleasantview, and I made the connection: the dorm lot and the neighbourhood lot both had telescopes.
In SimPE, the list that populates when I click "Sim Description" is in Instance order, and now that Mort's dead, Cassandra is the next playable sim on my list. It looks like the game is moving down this list, so once Cassandra dies the barger-in should become Alexander, then Dan Pleasant (not likely, as he's older than Cassandra and I'm playing the lots in rotation), Mary-Sue (not likely for the same reason) then Angela.
RainbowTigress:
It was always Mortimer and John Burb in my game, until I installed TJ's fix. That's what I was told though, that the game choses the first sim in order of appearance.
