Broken object

[nainon]

Another stupid question: can lamps get broken? I'm not sure was that a lamp or something else, but I've never seen something like this in my game before.

Do you have a resident ghost?  because ghosts can break lamps, and any other electrical stuff you may have.  If you have ghosts, best to use the Ghostbuster to ban them from rooms with expensive TVs and stereos in!

Ooh, yes I do, that's it then. Thanks!

The Ghostbuster is one of JM's hacked objects, and your sims need aspiration points to buy it - a good way to spend some of those thousands of points!

That's the link for Open for Business.  If you don't have that, just look through the rest of the hacks directory for the version you need.

Actually, it's the same object for all game versions, the directories are just symbolically linked.

Well, I didn't know that!  And after all the updates for some of your other objects, I just assumed each one was an updated version!

I've seen them break alarm clocks before.  It goes off at 5 a.m. because they have an early morning job, and they didn't get to sleep until 2 a.m. and eventually - BAM!  There goes the clock!

I've had a couple of dollhouses get smashed, too.  Don't want to talk about it.  Bad, bad child.

They all get the option to smash the dollshouse, but I think Lucy Burb was the only sim who ever, ever smashed her own!  She was a very disaffected child!

A fit sim could've also smashed their alarm clock. I had that happen once, they woke up and broke it in a fit of roid rage.

I think you would notice if it was smashed after ringing rather than in the middle of the night.  I dunno though, maybe if you were busy elsewhere on the lot!  But if so, it's a good thing they don't have radio-alarms!
