Um, yeah, but let's define "easy", when you have a CAS sim who is mostly miserable the whole time. If you can get that gold flower arranging badge before the sim turns elder, my hat is off to you.
I didn't say I was using his time to get the badge. I'll get another sim to employ him first, and he'll build the badge on his boss's lot. (Is this blatantly against the rules, or merely against the spirit?) |

If it's any consolation, this has happened to me, and it's been a display bug only - the Sim in question has gone on to make the Dean's list. I'd stick College Rampage on and forget about it.

I've had this problem with two lots in my current game. Someone comes to the door; I order a Sim to greet him/her. Said Sim walks up to the front door, and then does nothing - the greet order just falls out of the queue.
(What usually happens next is that the Bathroom Uses You grabs him and gives him a "wait" order for what is in fact an unoccupied bathroom.)
What's going on?
Edited to add: hmmm, after I deleted the BUY loo rolls, the lot worked OK, and I could greet people. Did the greeting, did the headmaster scenario, put the loo rolls back. Now I can greet people. Whatever.

As for the down on his luck character, after you play for a while you'll probably notice the same thing I do. While things are supposed to be relatively random, they don't normally happen that way in-game. For example, you may play for weeks on end and never see a chance card and if you do always manage to pick the "right" choice, then all of a sudden one sim might get fired or demoted four days in a row. You may go for weeks without a sim ever starting a kitchen fire, then *poof* your sim with high cooking skills will burst into flames while cooking pancakes and three or four more fires might start within the next couple of sim days.
That's the way random variables work. You often get results clumping together in ways which might suggest a non-random pattern, even when there isn't one. |

20 Lovers is EASY. I just do it assembly-line style. Instead of allowing the sim to get one lover at a time, what I do is make the sim best friends (100/100) with all 20 sims. Then, one night, I just invite all of them over. Kiss, Say goodbye... Kiss, Say goodbye... Kiss, Say goodbye... Kiss, Say goodbye... etc. I can usually do all 20 in one night. If you do this at night, the chance of a walk-by is really small, especially since each sim gets only one romantic interraction, which means there's only a tiny window of opportunity for a jealous lover to witness it.
Haha! That is excellent. (Even better, it's likely to cause your next LTW to be "WooHoo with 20 Different Sims", and you've now got 20 Sims who are potential candidates.) |

Yea, to be entirely correct, you can't kill townies by just walling them in and starving them anymore. You have to use something like a cow plant, or a fire producer (the fire jets from NL are handy for this) to kill them. Or drop a satellite on them with Insim's suicide function. Or the ever popular "have them go swimming in a pool without a ladder".  The Cowplant is the best of these, because you actually get an in-game benefit from destroying the townie in question. (Of course, none of these are particularly wonderful for the continued longevity of your neighbourhood, but that's another matter.) |

(Female sims: Medica (nurse)l, Business (aka secretary), Slacker (Since I can't think of a job that equates to teaching off of the top of my head)).
The level 4 Science job is a science teacher. I don't know if that's any good to you. |
