Title: What qualifies as "boring" gossip? Post by: buddha pest on 2010 March 06, 22:03:47 I'm tempted to clear boring gossip with the batbox just so that I might see interesting gossip more often, but I worry that what I consider to be boring and what J.M. considers to be boring are two different things.
I mostly only consider fires, burnt food, and dormies passing out to be boring. I wish my sims would gossip more about electrocution, affairs, and pants-wetting-at-parties.

Color me disillusioned. EDIT - However, I suppose I'm the only one this late in the game who wonders how gossip is chosen. I'm not actually late at all. I just never bothered to ask until now. "Gossip" has been my favorite sim social interaction for SIX YEARS. GOD BLESS. Title: Re: What qualifies as "boring" gossip? Post by: J. M.
