I've found it to be true of all buy mode objects.

They fulfill reading wishes, so likely yes.

What Roflganger said.  I'm curious:  just how much information are we looking at in a day?  I expect it is enough that popups on event would be maddening, and FAST.

Events essential to omniscience:  AddSim, ChangeRelationship (romance only), Create Household, Create and Move in, Emigrate, Kill, Merge, Move In/Out, Split.

Ideally we will want to know of these the moment they happen, but a daily report would certainly be better than the nothing we have.

Doubly ideal?  setconfig ApproveToads true.  Veto power is grail-shaped.

Learnings from elsewhere, worth noting in this thread:

Traits' influence on genre profitability for writers

Traits' influence on work performance

Politics ("new course of action") had a similar effect.  The success popup may have said something about work relationships being strained, but I was too busy spending the bonus to notice the little people.

This one's a little quirky.  The great kisser sim also gets the moodlet.  Kissing in bed does not count.

Mutually exclusive trait pairings, in no appreciable order:

Artistic - Can't Stand Art
Excitable - Grumpy
Athletic - Couch Potato
Brave - Coward
Heavy Sleeper - Light Sleeper
Easily Impressed - Snob
Friendly - Mean Spirited
Grumpy - Hot-Headed
Loner - Party Animal
Evil - Good
Hates the Outdoors - Loves the Outdoors
Lucky - Unlucky
Neat - Slob
Good Sense of Humor - No Sense of Humor
Charismatic - Loser
Commitment Issues - Hopeless Romantic
Dislikes Children - Family-Oriented
Flirty - Unflirty
Childish - Dislikes Children

Come to think of it, I had a grouchy sim with a whiny demeanor too.  I thought some other trait was causing it.  That stinks. 

Mean-spirited has its charm, but what good is "see ghost of" without a ready cowplant?


This too.  I was going to combine Hates Children with Family-Oriented, which was probably a wee bit optimistic.

While working up a list of mutually exclusive traits, I have learned a sim cannot be both Grumpy and Hot Headed.

What is this... this... UNHOLINESS?!

They seem somewhat lucky anyway.  My current ghost lot had gems worth $1522, $256, and $14 on day 1.  It's the only home lot I've had collectibles appear on.

It looks random.  I have moved several families into the same trailer lot and was only offered the burial grounds option once.

Deal-braker #1295:  "Daredevil" sims get "extreme nap," "extreme sleep," "practice extreme speech," etc.

They do not get "extreme woo-hoo."

I call bullshit.

Damn.  I'd hoped that was from choosing "Absent-minded."  Queue "go to work," and I find him an hour later watching TV.

Yet another deal-breaking implementation flaw is discovered:  "troll internet forum" does not decrease writing skill.

Now that you mention it, in my case the sim may have been topping a ltw;  it's the only reason a sim so far into that perk tree should be working.  As for this pic, who knows?

Thanks.  I thought something seemed familiar (and annoying) about that number.

I had this happen once and did not think much of it.  Tonight I noticed it in someone's story.



Both sims fulfilled a large fear while having the "boundless influence" perk.  In my case, a fortune sim was either demoted or fired.  The sim in this pic feared a relative would meet aliens, or so it is claimed.  Both incidents happened with all major EPs installed.

The point it brings up:  might they have meant to only multiply gains x 5?
