Ghostbusters ARE repomans, aren't they? I don't remember exact message, but after removing the ghosts from the lot he said if I don't pay taxes in timely fashion he would visit again or something like that.

This may be irrelevant to this thread, but my gnomes especially love the fridge. And once they go in, they never get out on their own - at least in my lot they don't. To make matters worse, you can't let those buggers out through inventory-managing. You have to pause the game while the fridge door is open, and manually drag it out.   Almost all the gnomes I found visited the fridge at least once in their short-lifespan, a few of them twice. So if your precious gnome vanishes into thin air and nowhere on the lot to be found, don't panic - just check in the fridge.

My sim got an option to write Political Memoir while she's in the Politics career(9). Problem is, I can't figure out the exact condition to unlock it. When she got an opportunity to write a Political Memoir and bring it to work, I thought it was a one-time thing only available through opportunity like Biography since no one in MATY mentioned 'Political Memoir' except PolecatEZ. Anyway when she got that opportunity she was level 9 in the Politics and reached 10 that day. After finishing writing the memoir she quit the job without completing the opportunity, because completing the opportunity would lose the book forever and I wanted to keep the book in her home. But the option to write Political Memoir is still on her computer. She maximized all of her skills except writing(8-9) and painting(8-9).

Sorry for any grammatical errors, I'm Korean and I'm not good at writing in English.

Sims always use up the ingredient in the inventory first. So if you want to make 'Apple Cobbler,' take an apple from the fridge, put the apple in the cook's inventory and then do the cooking.

Anybody with the same problem?

Actually I didn't know this was a bug, as I was quite fond of this little feature. My main sim went to college, and her little sister calls every day. And most of the time mom or dad comes over during the phone chat and dance the time away in the dorm lobby. After hanging up, my sim comes to her dancing mom/dad and shares a family kiss, hug and some inside jokes before sending them off. Happens almost every day. Quite the heartwarming experience.
