I had this and was told it was to do with moving a sim into an empty house that hadn't been saved after installing uni (I think it was Simshost that had it happen to him and figured out that was what it was).  But I didn't find a fix and ended up not playing those sims any more.

Can't you just cancel out the go to work action and let them call you and tell you you've used a vacation day? I can and have...

Doesn't it depend on the sim's aspiration? Or am I remembering that wrong? I haven't used that machine a lot.

I'd quite like to get rid of the caught cheating memory my sim got when that cow mascot flirted with her - she even rejected the flirt, so why should it be considered an affair and cheating? 

Thanks Motoki for the link to the decorative bouquet and the advice on the changelotzoning cheat - I may still give that a go as I think it would be nice to have those little cards with the sim's picture on them there too.

Isn't it too late for resurrection now that she's at the community lot? Anyway I want her to stay dead. Sorry gali!

I will give it a go later and see what happens.

Can this be done with things other than gravestones?  My sim's fiancee just died in a tragic accident and I would like him to go leave the dream date bouquet she gave him at her grave (on the community lot).  If I have him leave it there will it show up by the phone in build mode?  I didn't think of trying it till I quit the game and really want to know if it will work, or if gravestones have a special property so only they can be left on community lots.

The poor daughter of Lilith Pleasant and Dirk Dreamer spent her whole life being congratulated on having wet herself at her own birthday party, with the balloons and the crossed out loo and all.   It was hot gossip (made a change from fires and burnt dinner I guess) so everyone knew about it. 

I do this with the musical instruments (although all sims want them, not just fortune) but then they cancel their whole queue when they get home to walk over to where it was, throw a tantrum and "miss object". 

Putting them in the iventory is a great idea!

I get the Earn $100,000 LTW quite often, but have never seen the $50,000 one as an LTW.


I see those random numbers occasionally too - I seem to remember them coming up when the sim got home from work and fulfilled another earn whatever want.

What I hate about the endless wanting to buy $5000 paintings etc is that there isn't enough variety - I don't want that damn painting in every house.  I also can't be bothered going on an expensive painting downloading binge just for fortune sims.

And oh, the stupid looking garden my fortune sims had before I figured out you could sell all those flower beds and trees they wanted after they set off for work and they wouldn't lose their good work performance rating.

I have found that all my kids who have transitioned to teen since nightlife start with a blank LTW until they have fulfilled one normal want. 

Sims can autonomously "listen in" when another sim is using their MP3 player.  Then if the first sim (who started with the MP3 player in their inventory) stops listening first, the player ends up in the second sim's inventory.  I watched my teen sim do this with her dad.

You can also shift-click on the sim with the testingcheats mode on.

When I got these memories, I had done this (rotating the sim who initiated the romantic interaction in the ground level hottub).      

Are you having problems with gameplay though?  Now that the patch has been released the number of character files might not be as big a problem.  It seems premature to ditch the neighbourhood because it has lots of character files if it's not being particularly glitchy or buggy.  Not that I'm remotely expert on this subject ... 

My weirdness happened way before Nightlife - and it's only been the one, so far everyone else has conformed to type.

I had a similarly odd thing once with a knowledge teen wanting to have 20 simultaneous lovers (it's a kind of knowledge I guess  ).

I checked the ask thing with two teens who were best friends  - went through the whole "ask" menu (excluding date) and no crush - so it was fixed. 

Kids do have this option - and obviously don't get crushes.  But it adds more to social than fun, and social goes up lots with just all the talking, without making them pause to do the throw food interaction.  It's cute though.

I am downloading it now (I have dialup!  half an hour to go ).  I can't see any mention of fixing crushes due to seemingly innocent "ask" and "buy coffee for" things, although crushes from handhelds and cheerups are mentioned.  Has anyone tried those things yet?

I have the coffee cup hack with NL and it seems to work as well as it ever did.  Sims take their cups straight to the dishwasher or sink when they're done drinking.

They get memories of meeting everyone (including all the service NPCs like the person who shows them to their seat when dining etc).  When I have sims downtown, my other neighbourhood sims are there chatting away to any and everyone - a couple have made new friends I have had nothing to do with. 

Indeed, one particular sim (Kim) seems determined to win back her ex-husband (Ryan) entirely behind my back.  He hates her, but they keep meeting in town when I am not in control of either of them and chatting their way back to a positive relationship.  If Ryan hadn't already remarried I might just let her win... but she doesn't deserve him!

I never called you a pedant.  Rohina talked of her love of pedantry, while forgetting her apostrophe.  It amused me.  I promise I'll shut up now.

When pedants forget to type their apostrophes, it makes Jesus cry.   

do you mean the pool hack?  according to the official nightlife list, the code hasn't changed so you should still be able to use it.
