If you haven't already, check her in SimPE.


Thanks Zeljka, that worked a treat! It turned out that she had 70 days left. I changed this to 28, and once back in the game she was aging normally again (turned to "27 days left" at 6pm). (Well, she was probably aging before that too, but it wouldn't have shown for another 40 days or so...)

Oh, and Gwill? The headmaster is creepy. Marrying him is definitely a mistake.

jrd:
Gwill: they already have a character file (all Sims except the unique objects.package NPCs have one), but e.g. the drivers and social workers are not real Sims. You might be able to call them and even invite them over, but they cannot be interacted with, they do not behave like normal visitors, so essentually you are clogging up a relationship slot with a useless Sim.
Your Sim can get unfulfillable wants such as winning a game against the driver, falling in love with, etc..

Definitely not safe:
Drivers, repomen, social workers, call-in-sick-guys (if these even exist -- get the phonehack)

Irritating (because of stupid hardcoded behaviour), but otherwise probably safe:
Drama profs, cheerleaders, llamas, cows, nannies, gypsies

Think that's them.


This should be added to the FAQ for things not to do in order to avoid a BFBVFS or just annoying crap.

Also... I thought that Pescado recommended avoiding marrying/moving in Uni NPCs (which I assume covered all profs, cheerleaders, mascots, cafeteria workers/cooks, coaches and streaks - are there any other Uni specific NPCs?).

Maybe a warning should be included for those that are "harmless" per se, but just really annoying.

Also... I like Kyna's idea of setting those "bad" sims as having negative gender pref towards both.  Perhaps this should be done with a patch automatically... or maybe something that twojeffs' ACR hack can include when running the randomizer.  Maybe all NPCs that are considered "bad" should be set to negative pref?

Also... is there anyway to hack that phonecall thing from OFB to exclude all "bad" sims from showing up?  I think it would be a good idea if there was a hack/fix/patch for this, since a lot of people won't know any better and don't realize they should avoid interacting with these sims.

Oh yeah, forgot streakers. And the diva/slob... Off to edit.

Zazazu:
How about "always move sims out and remove hacks before packaging a lot"? I just neglected that (stupid) and then realized that my lot contained files for the family's 25 friends, other randoms they've met, and don't forget family members to the nth generation plus all the custom content these members had...and the phone hack. Then, I went into the original lot and found that I couldn't go into live mode without the game crashing (no errors came up). Yeah. Bad.
