Nasty glitch

[EsotericPolarBear]

I don't mind the ownable cars, it's the carpools that annoy me.  Mostly because of the incessant honking every five seconds.

And the vehicles for Sims2 aren't nearly as much fun as the ones for Sims 1.  I used to keep Sims stuck in the "Clown" job on the circus career just for the fun of seeing them get into that little clown car.  :lol

In my more "realistic" 'hoods, often the sims have buildings in the 'hood that symbolize where they go to work. And often they aren't very far from it. No one without some sort of ambulatory issue takes a carpool to work when work is only two blocks away.

Are sims allowed to walk to work when their preggers in AL?
That's the main reason why I bother to give cars to a few of my families.  The carpool will not come for expectant sims, but if they own a car they still have the option to drive.  Other than that, I only have one other family who runs an off-site diner, and it's a little easier to round up 3 sims if they go by car than if I send them on foot.

My test lot had a couple of carpools stacked with two owned cars -- all 4 sims leaving for work at the same time. 

That wouldn't happen if you didn't buy cars for each member.  Or it shouldn't, unless something has changed since the last time I checked it.

If you read a few posts above the one you quoted, I'm not the OP.  I was testing a hack for the FOJ.  I was trying to bork the portal in a repeatable way, and in fact failed to do so.  Having 3 assigned cars depart/return simultaneously, along with one regular carpool, does not jam the portals very often.  (Unbelievable I know, Maxis may have done something right! )  I managed to glitch it one time in 12x2 departures/arrivals, before I got bored.

No, I don't think the option appears for pregnant sims to walk to work.

Beggin' your pardon, Miss Emma , they will walk to work in the early stages, or my game is kerplunked.

I had a guy get his first bump just as he was walking out to get in the carpool. The icon for the carpool dropped from
his queue. He needed the money for work that day, so I clicked on him to see if he could walk to work and
was overjoyed ( ok, maybe not overjoyed, maybe just pleasantly surprised) that he could.

I've never seen that option. My pregnant sims can still drive to work though.

Really?  Mine insist on never leaving the house.

It is now my mission to get one of my pregnant sims to walk to work! I bet it is a hack I have that is preventing it.

Download this and see if it enables force-error to do something on Mac.

It worked! Yay! I'm able to force errors on Mac!

Taken out of context... this is ROFL-worthy. I want to see this on a Mac/PC commercial now.

I don't see the benefit of sending preg sims to work. If they stay home they use a vacation day and get paid for staying home.  If I send them to work they use a vacation day anyway.  I was hoping that they could save up those vacation days, but they can't.  They can save the vacation days after the baby is born though.

The benefit is less time watching their ass and playing the feed-pee-sleep game. Also, possible promotions.
