The Romantic Life of a Sim
Process Denied:
Has anyone noticed the romance sims wanting to get engaged when they were on a date. They usually have the fear also. This one female was on a date with Daniel Pleasant and at the end of the date she rolled the want to be married to this other Romance sim. Really wierd. And she didn't have the fear to go along with it. I almost held her to it but I have other plans for her.
ZephyrZodiac:
That's mean!!! If she REALLY wants to marry this sim, then only a real control freak would make her do something else!! ;D It's interesting, though, if you create CAS romance sims who are married with kids, they don't normally have the red icons in their memories, only green ones! So I don't think they mind as much as they make out they do - and as long as they are maxed out in their relationship with the fiance, they don't leave them at the altar either!
I should be installing NL in a day or so, when it arrives! But I'll run it alone for a while before I put it in my main game, just so I can find out what it does with a new batch of sims.

I agree that uni becomes boring after a while ... but with NL it's fun again. I like uni for a lot of reasons, mostly for the Young Adult stage. With NL my sims can spend their college years building romances as well as just skills, plus now they can keep everything they buy while they're there, and if they want, rob the dorm blind. Pre-NL I had a sim who would sell things that didn't belong to him whenever he needed some cash. Now, he could take everything with him if he wanted.
I like 6 slots with two saveable sooooooo much better than 4 slots, 1 saveable. Uni extends their adult life, which means more "fun" playable years until they become an elder. Don't get me wrong: I like elders, but only if they've got a lot of skills and a good pension or job. Having no money and no chance of getting any is a drag.
Another advantage is they start their working life with skills. Pre-uni I used to spend a lot of time building skills so they could get promoted. Now, it's not such a big deal. If they just do what they need to graduate, even, they've already got enough skills for a good paying job. Which means they have more time to have fun.
And if you have NL and Uni the sims are no longer "cut off" when they go to college, so it's all good. I used to find sims college tedious, now I find it goes too quickly! Only so much time to build relationships, find your true love, join whatever societies you want to, have some fun and still manage to pass your classes.
I wouldn't uninstall uni if you have it. You don't have to send your sims to college if you don't want them to go, but I keep finding new uses for influence, the coffee shops are cool, you get new decor items, and you CAN send them to college if you want to ... I like the new jobs you can get, for example.
And to answer an earlier question, I'm pretty sure you don't get the resurrecto-tron with NL. You need to keep uni for that. Plus if you have sims that you played in Uni and don't have a backup, you'll probably lose them. The file structure changes with each EP.
ZephyrZodiac:
I certainly have no intention of uninstalling Uni, I like it too much anyway! But I definitely don't want to run any of my current hoods with it until I've played it enough to get to know it, so I'll probably do, as I said, a complete reinstall and start yet another Pleasantview!!!!
Regina:
Witches, I have to say, you've done more on selling me Uni than anything else I've read about it. :D
One of my concerns, though, is about the lifetime want of some sims, like I've read some of them want to graduate X number of children from college. I've noticed with the new NL aspiration reward object that if you change a sim's aspiration to another, then change it back to their original, they often times roll a new lifetime want. Do you think this would be doable with Uni?
I tend to be rather fond of elders in my game, and even first-gen elders have oodles of skills by the time they reach elderhood. They can fix anything in the house, do most of the cleaning and are super fun when it comes to romance, especially if they're widowed. I use the non-discrimination mod so that if an elder gets fired from their job they can still get back into a good job if I want them to. Since most of the elders I've played so far have been in my Legacy families I never let them quit working, just let them take vacation days to help take care of the new generation and let them take the rest of their vacation at the end of their lives. If a Legacy elder gets fired I just don't let them go back to work. Instead they paint masterpieces, write novels, harvest money trees or what have you. Those are way more lucrative than the elder jobs are anyway. Shoot, I generally don't even let the teens get jobs. They'll make more money with a money tree forest than they'll ever get from their little jobs which are a complete pain in the rear.
