It wouldn't be so bad if you actually saw the pet before agreeing to keep it. I watched one of my sims buying a golden retriever, decided it was a suitable pet, agreed to it when I next played him, and then discovered he'd actually bought an ugly grey cat. What's the point in letting us choose which breed is displayed if they don't even get the same species?

I always have children do homework early the next morning - that way they get the want to do it, and go off to school in platinum. Maxis coding means that kids will generally put homework on a desk if it's reasonably close, with two problems 1. All kids coming home at the same time try to use the same desk, leading to whining that they can't get at it. 2. They seem unable to tell that a desk is occupied, so will attempt to put homework on the computer desk.

Orikes, I get the same problem, but mine's because I'm playing on a laptop. A little note hidden somewhere in the readme says the game may or may not work with laptop video cards - so basically my computer's allergic to the Sims. And many no-cd cracks for other games, too. Saving every sim-day seems to be the only solution.

I rather like OFB because it gives me something to do with all those adults and elders who by halfway through adulthood have maxed all their skills, reached the top of at least one career, had all the kids they're going to have and have more money than they know what to do with. Pets I will use in much the same way - useless elders can spend their time teaching pets, rather than just being ignored until they do something stupid.

After nightlife, the loss of a grade (or work performance for adults) happens 1 hour before they are due to come home, rather than 1 hour after the start of school/work, because with cars it is possible to get them there later. If you drive them to school after 10am they won't lose a grade, but they won't gain one either.

I had just remembered it was no20khandouts. I have both in my game and playing nicely now though, so I must have found some way to fix it. Try getting new versions / changing which inteen flavorpacks you have installed.
