Yes.

The thought of John Burb being the neighbourhood slapper is one almost too disturbing to contemplate.

I think that's as designed, probably so you can assign a worker to the task and they'll keep doing it as more things are bought up.

I'm not using any hacks, so it's not to do with that.

Well, yeah. But the whole community lot wedding deal has become quite a big thing, and a lot of people enjoy doing it. You'd think they'd appreciate that instead of breaking it completely so nobody can do it anymore. But then, why care about how people like to play their individual games?

Another gripe, although not really what you'd call a problem per se - all the stupid new outfits and headgear in the catalogue are like, right at the front. Put the diver's helmet AT THE BACK OF THE CATALOGUE, along with other stupid stuff like the viking horns and the hat with the propeller. You can still have your little "made for this particular expansion pack" icon in the corner, but put them away if nobody's going to use them regularly! For the love of sweet baby jesus!

Same here. She'll stop doing her work to hang around at the espresso bar drinking endless cups of coffee (then peeing herself because she'd rather drink more than go to the toilet). I'm not using any hacked machines.

Oh, for Christ's sake!  This was the most fun thing to do in the game. Good going, Maxis.

I've played quite faithfully up until now, but the relative complexity with the OPB expansion coupled with the usual bugs and stupid rubbish is really making me consider binning the entire game altogether. I'm starting to wonder if it's actually still fun at all.

Going to university is useful for popularity sims, particularly ones with the 20 best friends LTW. It's awful for just about everybody else, apart from perhaps romance sims (but it does tend to get a bit hairy sometimes if you're not careful).

Unless you have the eyes of J.M Pescado, I'd imagine.

Thanks for the update, JM!

Best. Response. Ever.

Hooray!

This is possibly the best basis for a Sims story I have ever heard. Seriously. 

But no useful thoughts, I'm afraid.

Er, yes. I just assumed that was blusher, rather than pimp-marks. I don't actually know all that much about the ins-and-outs of hookerdom. If you'll pardon the pun.


*roars with laughter*

I've been called many things, but this is the first time I've been called a male chauvinist.

vector,
Has girly front bumps and everything

Red powder that you put on your cheeks. You know, the stuff hookers wear to "define" their cheekbones.

I hope somebody can, because I was trying last night to find out how to do this.

I know for a fact I've seen it outlined very recently, but can't recall where.

You can't find anything that's in a zip file without opening it either. 

Or do you mean you need to extract a rar before you can see it's contents? If you double-click to open, you can navigate the folders from the winrar window.

It's a superior file format, anyway.


Rubbish.

They'd like payment, but they don't force you to give them one. They give you a fully-functioning program with a reminder that if you like it, you can always buy it - just like UltimateZip, in fact.

I never even see their reminder because I use the right-click functions instead of opening the program itself. Hence I actually tend to forget that I'm only using a trial.

God, no. If they burnt it, they should eat it. I don't care if it's got Fireman's Foam in it.

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

I don't know if CuriousSpurious is right about the romantic interactions without falling in love - but I think it does make certain romantic interactions more likely to be accepted.

There's no penalty for using it with a low aspiration level. 

That's a bit strange. The love tub slowly loses its charge when people use it. I think you can only recharge if nobody's using it at the time (and it needs charged up, obviously). You just click on it after a while when nobody's using it and it'll say "recharge, XX asp points".
I don't know what the problem might be. I don't use any of the insimenator stuff, but pescado's hacks usually behave quite well with it from what I've heard.

Odd.

Odd how it didn't stop anybody getting into it uninvited, though. Was it a fresh tub?

Hmm. I don't really have any suggestions. I did have a look around for you, because I know you can get your sims to paint an image on your hard drive that you specify using that screenshot.bmp file, but I didn't find anything to suggest that the images you capture to paint are actually stored once they've been painted. That's not very helpful. I dunno. 

I think if it's a still life or a portrait, it counts as a screencap - you need to take a screendump to get the image for the painting in the first place, anyway.

Remember if you've got Uni, then you've got two different storytelling folders.

An older sim has to help them with their homework.

Everybody in it speaks like Spike in Buffy.

 

Yessir!

Hooray for the bearded fisherman!
