Same question here

I rarely have a closer look at the faces of my sims in-game (I have disliked their exaggerated facial play from the day of TS2 release), so in general, I only see the "interaction menue face". But in CAS, I have to look at them and, what's even worse, as a close-up. I don't want to have to hate my sims even before I start to play them .

Yeah - this is exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks a lot, Jordi *baaaaah* 

Is there a hack for CAS to stop sims from fidgeting around and moving their faces all the time? I hate their moronic grimaces when making over their heads . I'm sure I have read about such a hack somewhere in this forum, but I can't find it anymore .

I let the toddler procrastinate (macrotastics) to stop it from skilling before the sim sent to it to play with/talk to/whatever can get there. Very helpful especially when the sim in question drops a command because something is blocking its way.

LOL -  I had downloaded BRY indeed, and I was absolutely sure I had put it in my downloads folder, too, because the "Business..." option showed up when I clicked on a sim. In fact, I had not

*adds unlimited stupidity to her personal flaws* 

That's where I've been looking, as well as under Decorative->Misc. I've never had problems to find all the other vital stuff, but no hammer & sickle . But I will keep looking for it of course. Does it show up under certain conditions only, i.e. just on community lots?

That's even better - so I don't need anything besides BYR. I've not placed the controller so far, but only used the Business... options showing up when clicking on a sim (because I've not been able to find hammer & sickle in buy mode, to tell the truth ), so most of the BRY possibilities have eluded me so far.

Yippee - this looks exactly like what I've been looking for, thanks !. Do you happen to know if there might be problems in combination with Business Runs You?

I there a hack to keep a shop closed until I decide to open it for the first time (after having bought a lot / opened a home business)?. It's so annoying that you have to turn the open/close sign first to prevent idiots customers from showing up before you've been able to adjust prices / fill the shelves / whatever, especially on big lots

Thanks for that - you just made my day (though unintentional of course) 

Is giving a treat (? I don't know how it's called in the English Version) to a stray considered as "paying for food"? If so, I lost this challenge in record time because I turned free will off too late .

Another question: Does the programmable sleep clock run on batteries?

You're right, of course - and I've forgotten that neat 0 sims enjoy their stink anyway.

Pity - I wanted to see some toddler-bowl-incident, but this has to wait, then

I'd love to try (and fail at) this challenge, but I need some clarification first:

Is "slobs be slobs" allowed?

What about the food bowls (or better, the fillings) that came with petz - are they considered *real* food (and thus banned) or not?

I've only had pets once so far, but as far as I can remember, they do eat at work; the hunger bar will not be filled, though, it's more like pets just nibbling a bit.

Hilarious! "I want to buy a car, so I can chase it"  . I like it even more than "I hate you..."

Your stories made me give this challenge a try - I think I'll play the JMP variations...
