Well, it seems very odd!  But a new groups.cache may help - I read where some people do it every time they reload their game.  I did notice that the old one which I took out was huge in comparison to the new one, so a lot of stuff is obviously being stored there, and maybe this is what causes some of these glitches.

Proof of Social Worker weirdness. I allowed the game to generate a completely new set of Maxis neighborhoods, no hacks or custom content. Then I tortured Beau Broke until he was taken away. Weirdness followed:

Poor Beau Broke! And here comes the SW.


Lecture. Watch as the SW appears in Brandi's relationship panel!


Yup. Just like any other sim.
Obviously with a -7 relationship she can't be invited over yet, but in my other families where this happened, once the relationship is high enough, anything can be done that can be done with a normal sim.

The same thing happened to Don recently when he got burgled.  Like an idiot I zapped the burglar and then had Don call the cops, so Don got fined and lectured, after which he had a -90 relationship with the cop and the want to be best friends!  (And sims can be -100/-100 and furious, yet within about four hours it's down to less than -50 which is just crazy.) 

There are some wierd anomalies which really just don't make any sense.  (Poor Beau, how could you do that to him? Cry)

I've done some horrible things to my Sims, purely for testing purposes only.  Tongue

Well, true, but Beau?  Why not Alexander? Grin

Eh? Someone has a problem with me torturing Beau Broke?

Does it make you feel better that I didn't bother saving when I exited?

But at least both the cop and the burglar ARE social. The SW isn't. Or at least, wasn't before NL.

I guess I should go see if the repoman is now social too.

Maybe Maxis did rework some of the non-social NPCs. But personally I think they were editing one or two (maybe the burglar) and screwed up the rest in the process. And now our games will explode even sooner than expected. Or at least mine will, since I don't see anyone else complaining that their sims are now capable of making friends with the social worker.

Well ive had to reinstall since the last time i had a social worker in my game, and i now have a no social worker hack, so cant really help here.

Ive just realised this is a totally pointless post.   

Oh well.

Well, you have to have them appear in your game first, and if you don't torture helpless toddlers, etc., then maybe they never will!  And if you always pay your bills on time, no repoman (at least they fixed that glitch with the mailperson not collecting the mail).

I don't know....I think simply for the reason that Social Workers and Repo-men don't have names should mean they're NPC's that aren't supposed to be interacted with on a social level.  Huh

Yes, that's what I mean....I agree.

Sorry, it's still early o'clock, and I'm a little tired.  Tongue

I just wish they'd made the game with a choice (like the choice you have to either enable or disable custom content) where you could either enable or disable certain NPCs,  and replace them with your own, with an area in CAS specifically to do this.  I know then I'd feel like I owned my own neighbourhood instead of it being a time-share with the Maxoids always barging in when it's my turn!

Thank goodness for that - make a friend of him he'd come visiting and take your piano!
