My vote is for more as well.  Though I have yet to play a big household, because I just don't have the patience for that kind of micromanaging.

With newspapers, I've been able to click the drag all triangle to sell them with no problem.  Trash piles are a bit different, but not as bad as what you've described.  At home, I can click that triangle and drag it to her trash can, but it only drops one at a time.  However it stays lit up and I just keep clicking until the trash disappears.

I've found two Zucabr rocks, and that's the only way I've been able to find them.  Other than that, I found a pink diamond and it seems that everyone on the "rich" block throws out their SimLife goggles because she's found four pairs now.  Seeds and bits of produce (ranging from putrid to perfect) are occasional bits, but the teddybears, candles, bubble baths and rubber duckys are fairly common. 

Does anyone else actually ever let their Sim keep any of this stuff?  I have kept the special stuff like the rocks and gems, but everything else gets sold.  I can't wrap my head around keeping bubble bath that's been in a trash, even if I know logically it didn't actually come from there.

or dying.  Rest in peace, Test Sim #3.

My Sim had 6 death flowers in her inventory.  I've been playing her up through the criminal track and she made it to Emperor of Evil, then I had her quit her job and rejoin the track so I could move her up through the Thief branch.  I looked in her inventory later and she only had 4 death flowers left, but I have no idea when and where these flowers were used.  Is there a possibility of cheating death or do the flowers also serve another purpose?

There's a fancy-pants fridge that comes from reaching the top of the culinary career.  It gives a boost in room decor for as long as you have it there.

My Sim at Level 10 writing, with Dislikes Children, Workaholic, Ambitious, Neat, Green Thumb and Charismatic traits:

Masterpiece: §20828 for best-seller, §15420 for hit, §9784 for regular sales.

She's a Vaudeville writer, so I'll start to keep track now but so far I haven't.

Click on the darker blue triangle in the upper left of the thumbnail and drag it over to the sell icon.  It'll sell the entire pile.  As for space rocks, you could analyze them first because you can make more cash if they're discovered to be worth more than originally appraised.  There's nothing really all that useful about the collection missions other than to complete the different challenges; if you don't want to, then don't.

Midnight to 5am.

I've had fairly non-ugly dresses for pregnancy wear; I think it's all random.

Your information is incorrect.

Masterpiece shows up after writing 25 novels.  Usually the author is Level 10 by then, but it won't show up before 25 other novels are written.  As well, vaudeville only needs 2 of each of the types listed, not three.

You can't store it in the replicator either.  That's by design.

For ambrosia, you can't serve it, you can only have it (one plate only). I've seen it under breakfast, but never looked for it under lunch or dinner.  With Awesomemod, it should be there all the time.

Uninstall the Download manager.  It has SecuRom.  You don't need it anyhow.

As for your points, register your game?  You can do that directly on the site so you don't need to have your gaming computer hooked up to the net for that.

It's not super green thumb reward. It's the TRAIT when you first make your Sim (or add it later with Pescado's mod).

Sims 3 no-CD crack.  Thanks be to Anne for it.

They are always just seeds that are listed in the first post here, in the category (uncommon, rare or special).  They'll never be cheese, egg, steag, burger patty or omni however.  With the exception of the money tree (which you can tell because of the icon that shows up as soon as the mystery seed is in the growing state), you can't really tell what any of them are until they're mature.

Insanity Prelude, you fucked up the link.

Death flowers are only supposed to get one harvest, unless your Sim has the green thumb trait (whatever it's actually called), and then they can revive it once more.

....7z is the extension of this zipped package!  You do have the Shaders_Win32.precomp file.  Just unzip this with 7zip or Winrar, and overwrite it.

And tomatoes.

But the
The prima guide seems to have a ton of errors, if it's claiming all those can be planted with only a level 1 gardening skill.

Yeah, it didn't work for the Tiki fullset either.  I chose something random since I have it all anyhow, I just wanted to see.

Ask and you shall receive.

Nah, it doesn't work for me either.  I went in and tried, hadn't done so before.  Sucky.

Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V doesn't work?

I'll re-up them.  Make sure you try the s3rc if they don't work, also, since I do not run them through that first myself before I upload.

Edit: table sponge, floor sponge.
