What did you discover today while playing the sims?

[SofieAmalieN]

It has been a few days since I noticed this but... Since I installed FT, two Sims can have table interactions while sitting beside each other (not only across the table like it was before). Also, FT seemed to have improved other interactions as well in the same way, making them more adaptable - that game that came with the EP, where they kick a small ball to each other, is surprisingly tolerant of the Sims' positions (and also the number of Sims interacting).


Haven't they always been allowed to do the 'chair' interactions when sitting next to eachother? My sims have been doing that for a long time...

And the kicky bag ball game.. didn't that come with UNI?

[PlasticBarbie.]

That you can frame portraits! Mhm, Its awesome. ^^
Weird thing bout that though, is that i've never noticed that until today.. and i've been playing the sims for two years. O.o;

[JadeEliott]

It's a new Freetime thing, Miss Megan.

[Willow's Tara]

Well here's one today: I was marrying my two alien lesbian sims Aisha Hutchins and Katie Summers, but after they got married and the party ended...Or was supposed to. The Limo never came, and the party kept going like once it ended another timer would start to the wedding party.

I thought I encountered a glitch with Katie so I killed her...but the endless loop came. And came, and came....

Until I finally notice in Meadow Thayer's memories...She was still engaged to Lainey Das...

*smacks head* yep that'd right, I forgot to marry Meadow and Lainey who I was going to marry at the same time as Katie and Aisha, only had one arch and completely forgotten the two were meant to get married. SO i got them married and the party timer finally ended! Although the limo never came, probably because of it.

I tried resurrecting Katie but Lainey was pregnant with twins, (Aisha had two children from previous relationships), And Aisha was pregnant with Katie's baby, so I moved Meadow out, resurrected Katie, used a hack to move Meadow back in...

What did I discover? Well I discovered that if you have more then 1 engaged couple on the lot then the party loop keeps going until they get married. I never knew this on the cout I never forgot to marry the two or three sets of couple until this time.

[PlasticBarbie.]

It's a new Freetime thing, Miss Megan.

Oh. ^^; Well its still cool.

[Ghost sdoj]

i discovered that when a sim gets out the pool they sometimes slap there head trying to un-pop their ears. might be a feature with bon voyage/free time. i'd never seen that action until i installed them.

I don't have either of those and one of my new sims does it all the time. A few others do it occasionally. Maybe Seasons?

[Zavi]

I discovered that sims could have allergies. In the action queue for my toddler sims, the last box says: "Allergies!"

[Menaceman44]

I don't have either of those and one of my new sims does it all the time. A few others do it occasionally. Maybe Seasons?

Yeah, thats a Seasons thing.

[ani_]

One of my sims had a dream date with this townie, then a playable sim called him that I heared you and X had a great time - would you like to meet up. First time that ever happened to me. Now this guy's screenshot is light blue and just like furiosity its starting to fade off, he instantly got a 30/20 relationship + friendship icon. Their status is accointance. Maybe the friendship icon will go off when the light blue has faded completely. don't know yet.

[FlyingKiwi]

Yeah the friendship disappears when the blue fades out, so it's a good idea to build the relationship up to a normal friend level while it lasts. (sorry if I just spoiled the surprise for you :D)

[ChaoticNeutral]

Haven't they always been allowed to do the 'chair' interactions when sitting next to eachother? My sims have been doing that for a long time...

And the kicky bag ball game.. didn't that come with UNI?

Well... I did install Uni and FT in the same week.... :P But I'm pretty sure they never did the "chair interactions" if not seating in front of each other, across the table. If it was there before, maybe I had some conflicting hack. Anyway, FT still adds loads of new interactions. :eviltongu

[Ghost sdoj]

It was first there with Nightlife, but they were apparently also added with a later EP as well. I could do it with next to or across a small table, but not diagonally.

[HRPuffNStuffAddict]

Hey every1

Don't know if this was mentioned already but last night while I was waiting for BV to load, I noticed on top of the splash screen that there was a loading bar. i wanted to smack myself for not noticing it earlier :eviltongu , lol

[elekanahmen]

I discovered some aspiration failures... I've never had those before. I wondered how the opening video had sims rocking flour sacks and begging for simoleons.

[princesshaichu]

I had no idea toddlers could dance! ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS0D9i0PV6Q )

[LegolianM]

With Freetime, my Sims can walk to community lots!! I know that's included in a different EP but I didn't realize it was in this one too. Now I'm even more happy I got it.

[Emina_SC]

Yes, a feature first time introduced in, let's say Uni will come with newer EPs so even if you don't have Uni (but have any other newer EP) you'll get that feature.

[LegolianM]

I like that they do that with the features. I've wanted the ability to walk to community lots for ages but I haven't wanted to buy any of the other expansions just to get one thing.

It's funny though that now my Sims can have turn ons for werewolves, Servos, and Plantsims when I have no ability to create them. XD

[Stasisesque_SC]

After sending Alexander Goth to college, I was both impressed and disturbed to see that the parent accompanying him was... Bella.

I haven't used any cheats to re-instate her in Pleasantview, and I haven't even visited Strangetown this install.

[Menaceman44]

I wonder if that will happen when I send him off seeing as Mortimer is now dead in my game?

[tairourou]

If one sim is sleeping and another sim keeps coming in their room to pester them, the sleeping sim will sometimes sit up and wave at the irritating sim to go away, then flop back down in bed. It's hilarious!

[Fernweather]

When a sloppy male sim uses a toilet to take a whiz he will sometimes leave the seat up. If a female sim goes to use this toilet, she will let out a groan of annoyance before lowering the seat and using the toilet.

[longdaysend]

lol ahh who says theres no realizim in the game!

i discovered that twins can (and usually will) have radically different personalitites but despite that can be the best of friends,which is a little odd to me.

[happycowlover]

Female sims would also do this in TS1 too. I think it's pretty funny and quite realistic. LOL

[LegolianM]

I discovered that my townies seem to all know their hobbies, I've seen a few of them doing hobby gestures. Quite unfair, I think; how come they get to automatically know when I have to fiddle around with everything to figure it out for my Sims?

[Ghost sdoj]

I was testing the new auto cash register and auto restock signs from simlogical so I was using Maxis sims that I don't care about. Is my game being even weirder than usual, or does Denise Jaquet always have a recurring fear of catching her dead husband cheating?

Now that I think about it, I don't think I would want to see a dead guy cheating on his wife either...

[HCAC]

I let the needs crash on one family just as a change from maxing all the motives (gets dull). The mom was pregnant and soon after had a miscarriage. It's the first time this ever happened. She keeps crying softly and her husband was 'urged to give her comfort at this hard time" in one of the bubbles.

[Lenoba]

Miscarriage comes with InTeen :D

[Ferret II]

[StupidityKills]

If a sim wakes up before their energy is fully recharged, or before dawn they will trudge around and down the stairs sleepily :) I have a pic somewhere...

[Frugality]

That building houses is really annoying. It keeps telling me that I cannot build on a slope when the ground is completely flat.
>:/

[Willow's Tara]

I found out not too lomng ago that Cowplants actually chooses who they eat, sometimes they will close thier mouths and sniff the sim before that sim pushes them away so the cowplant doesn't eat them...Annoying when I am trying to kill sims who just won't stop annoying my playable sims!

[ani_]

Same problem here, want to kill one old dude but the cowplant wont do it :/

I found out that werewolfs can sommon wolfs - and they will come.

[Ghost sdoj]

cowplants don't like dirty food. If the victim's hygiene is too low the cowplant will reject them every time, but once they are cleaned up it often takes them.
(Soak the victim in a hot tub for a while to get them nice and clean.)

[LegolianM]

Ever since I installed Freetime, the phone doesn't go off at 4pm every night anymore with friends calling - now all I get are the whiny popups, as if my Sim had answered the phone. I'm pretty sure I have some sort of hack conflict going on that's causing it, but I quite like it so I'm not going to try to fix it. I hate having to answer the phone 10 times just to be whined at.

[JavaJulie]

I believe this came with Seasons or Pets, so if you don't have one/either of those, that may be why it's new to you from FT. I love it - finally made it bearable to have popularity and romance Sims!

[Valentine!]

Even if you go off the lot when you're hiking in summer, you can get heatstroke. My nature-loving housewife went hiking, came back and promptly passed out.

[Webster54]

when someone gets mad at you and their picture goes all red, there's a new option since freetime to "pay them off with $50". I did that for one sim and the assualting sim said, "okay, i'll leave you alone for now. . ." HA!

[princesshaichu]

I don't think that's a new feature! Jan Tellerman wanted to rip my sim to shreds, but Ollie paid her off with the $50 mentioned--I think it came with NL, since all I have are NL and Seasons.

edit: Oh, and I discovered today that sims do a weird little pitter-pat dance in place before getting into bed. It's not turning, it's a little stepping... o_O

[AxelValentine]

Along with heatstroke off-lots, I had a house where two of the sims were practically having heat stroke as they slept, inside. One of them was sleeping in their underwear even!
She got up, whined and nearly passed out before I sent her back to bed.

And, not sure when this started but I love it, in the neighborhood screen, when I'm selecting a house the family members will be shown in the order they joined the household instead of by age or alphabetically by name.
One household had a child before the two were married so it goes Mom, son, Dad, three younger daughters.

[Menaceman44]

I discovered the observatory neighbourhood decoration from FT. I thought the only new decoration was the railway. Obviously I was wrong.

[LegolianM]

You can gain enthusiasm in your sleep if you dream about your hobby...!

And yeah, the option to pay off someone who's furious with you came with Nightlife.

[Jennybean]

Last night I discovered that when sims are playing Marco Polo, they climb out of the pool and jump back in without using the trempoline!

[Webster54]

i never noticed the option to pay off an angry sim before now. . .strange.

[Ferret II]

I discovered that vampires are SO much fun to play!

[chibspan]

I've only just discovered that some children sleep in a different pose than other children, and it's so cute!

http://i32.tinypic.com/35d11sj.jpg
A picture because I don't know how to describe it.

[Menaceman44]

I was told this quite a while ago now but when I first got the game I didn't know how to pronounce Beau. At the time I thought it was 'Byoo' instead of 'Boe'.

[AxelValentine]

*laugh* Menaceman, I had to teach two people how to say that name. My mom and my cousin both pronounced it the way you did.

[FlyingKiwi]

I discovered that a sim with very low energy (although not completely run out) can fall asleep in their food.

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/9636/brandiasleepud0.jpg

When I clicked "wake up" she looked around quickly looking very embarrassed!

[Menaceman44]

*laugh* Menaceman, I had to teach two people how to say that name. My mom and my cousin both pronounced it the way you did.

I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one. I'm thinking of calling a Sim kid Byoo just for the irony of it.

[Ferret II]

That sims with high skill points can 'impart knowledge' on another sim about that skill! The sim who they are telling sits on the floor and listens.

[Menaceman44]

I discovered there is an autonomous "Play" interaction on the "Chickenfeed Charlie Sculpture of Fun" that came with Seasons. My Sim had just successfully stolen it back from a neighbour and as soon as I placed it on the floor she went to "Play" with it. She picked it up and threw it in the air before putting it back.
I wonder if it can happen with the flamingos and gnomes too...?

[Annette_SC]

It's a good way to keep them from kicking over your trashcan or stealing your paper!

[Lenoba]

I was told this quite a while ago now but when I first got the game I didn't know how to pronounce Beau. At the time I thought it was 'Byoo' instead of 'Boe'.

I thougt it was short for Beautiful, because he gets charming when adult xD

[I_Love_Simming]

I was told this quite a while ago now but when I first got the game I didn't know how to pronounce Beau. At the time I thought it was 'Byoo' instead of 'Boe'.

lol so did i! Its only when someone called Beau rang up for someone at work and i said "Byoo is on the phone" and they was like "Boe?" "No, B-YOO"..then i got it. Hmm.

[infraredlove]

I thougt it was short for Beautiful

Beau is French for beautiful! :)

I found out today that when a ghost goes outdoor in winter it will twirl into its winter coat! Ghosts are afraid of the cold too? :\

[SofieAmalieN]

I discovered that while Jodie Larson might not be a beauty among female sims - her brother Jason is quite a catch!

He very manly with his square chin, but still has simething innocent and cute over him.

[Fantasyrogue]

I discovered that when two sims share a room (like two kids) and it's time to wake up in the morning, that sometimes one of the two sims will shoo the other one away as if to say "I don't want to get up yet, leave me alone!"

[tairourou]

I discovered that when two sims share a room (like two kids) and it's time to wake up in the morning, that sometimes one of the two sims will shoo the other one away as if to say "I don't want to get up yet, leave me alone!"
It's not just if they share a room. Brandi Broke once did this to Dustin in my game when he came in to cheer about his grades. Can't you imagine? "MOM! I GOT AN A I GOT AN A!" "Shut up Dustin, I'm trying to sleep!"

I also had one of my sims do it when she was on an outing. You know how if you have a sim go to sleep during an outing, the other sim will hover over their bed? Well, my sim Billy apparantly didn't like it, so she shooed away the guy she was on an outing with.

[Fantasyrogue]

Really? I had never noticed this behaviour before. It's funny to see though :D

[Mosin]

I discovered that placing 15 treasure chests together will bathe a 9x5 room in a blinding (and ugly) glow.

[SofieAmalieN]

I diiscovered that sims can get 'In the Zone' whilte dreaming.

[Menaceman44]

I finally discovered how to mix tracks on the music synthesisor! I didn't realise you have to click on it again once you've told a Sim to "Compose...".

[lazyviolet]

while playing a dorm, i found out that sims can knock on each other's doors and if their relationship is low, they won't be let in. i think it only works with those myne doors.

[Soroka_SC]

Heh. I discovered that in the fall, cats sometimes will try to catch the leaves that are falling off the trees.

[Ghost sdoj]

Headmasters who eat too many fish dinners get fat.

[LegolianM]

Half siblings who live in different houses and have never met before can exchange a family kiss upon meeting for the first time, before having hardly any relationship score at all.

I had a child bring another child home with her from school, and the next thing I knew they were kissing - total WTF moment for me until I remembered that he was her half brother. It looked really wrong because I'd never really thought of them as siblings before.

[sarahdisco]

Headmasters who eat too many fish dinners get fat.

Lol, I loved that one!

I discovered that having a pregnant female sim, and a pregnant male sim at the same time is a bad idea... quickly followed by the female sim having twins.

My poor sims are motive failing every 2 minutes, although I'm still fighting the urge to maxmotives.

[Inoacharm]

I dont know if this is A HACK I have or what. But while my sim was in uni (first time ive used it in YEARS... I think ive used it TWICE.. and even then I dropped out mid semester cause its BORING)
Anyways I sent my sim to 'study' and PARENTING was a choice. curious I picked it. when she was done learning it she got a memory stating "learned parenting: now maybe I can understand what babies are trying to tell me"

O_o

[AxelValentine]

Inoacharm: That came with Freetime actually. Not a hack, sorry.

[Inoacharm]

why sorry O_o?

[AxelValentine]

I don't know. Just felt like tacking it on at the end.

[SofieAmalieN]

I discovered that the violin changes size if it's a child playing it.

[Aryxa]

You can now click on a painting your Sim has done and choose a frame... yay! It looks much nicer like that.

Also, when your self-sim finally gets pregnant, even though you've had super-fertility and it's taken AGES, it's always a good idea to explain this to your boyfriend before squealing "I'm pregnant! Finally!"

:S

[sga_girl]

Today I saw a shooting star in Sims for the first time. :D

[Ghost sdoj]

A pleasure sim who owns a community lot and goes there in spring will end up with wants to date his customers.

[omgshsarah]

i discovered today that if an adult plays tag with a child, they will stop and let the child get ahead of them :] and whenever a child tags an adult, they do this fake "aww, man!" face and slowly start running after them. its cute.

[Ani May]

That like the Social Bunny, the Therapist can't be seen by other sims.

It's quite funny to see the crazy sim like suddenly stand up and move oddly without the Therapist. Then shaking his hands when there isn't anything there. :lol:

[I_Love_Simming]

i discovered today that if an adult plays tag with a child, they will stop and let the child get ahead of them :] and whenever a child tags an adult, they do this fake "aww, man!" face and slowly start running after them. its cute.

Hey i didnt even know that adults could play tag with kids. I thought it was a kid-kid thing. I guess thats something i discovered today!

[LegolianM]

Not today, but I discovered this weekend that the super fertility thing with Freetime confused my Insimenator. It told me she was only going to have one baby, and she ended up with two - which was good 'cause that's what I wanted, but bad because I'd been preparing for only one. XD Hopefully that'll be fixed if/when Insim is updated.

[Menaceman44]

Hey i didnt even know that adults could play tag with kids. I thought it was a kid-kid thing. I guess thats something i discovered today!

I've only ever had that happen once and it was a glitch. The adult was using child animations. I've never seen the option since. I'll have to go look for it.

[CheshireImp]

I had a teenage sim cry when I sold the creativity building toddler toy that he'd played with constantly as a wee one XD

[omgshsarah]

I've only ever had that happen once and it was a glitch. The adult was using child animations. I've never seen the option since. I'll have to go look for it.

that's weird.. its definitely not a glitch in my game cause theres a specific animation for adults. do you have seasons? maybe it came with the EP.

[PaintedRain]

i'm not sure if this has been discovered, but i just discovered that kids can play with the free time activity table!

Lyla playing with blocks

[princesshaichu]

I discovered the dolls inside the basegame dollhouse are a gay couple!

[Ghost sdoj]

I had a Knowledge teen going out on a date with a Pleasure teen. It had been at Dream Date status for 5 hours, and suddenly in the middle of the date he rolled wants to get struck by lightning, go to college, catch a largemouth bass, and win the undead scholarship. She had wants to play with anybody, dine out with him, go to college, and ask him on a date. (This -is- a date, you silly people!)

So I ended the date and let him go fishing. When he got home, he got a call from her asking him on another date. The problem was that she was insisting on going to my custom Downtown and I didn't have any community lots there yet. So I quickly exited and plopped in an empty lot for them to go to.

I discovered that if you go to a community lot with nothing there, everybody hangs out on the sidewalk in front of it. Mrs. Crumplebottom being unable to get to the married couple who were making out on the sidewalk because there was a game of kicky-bag going on in between her and the couple was priceless. As was watching her futiley try to catch up with them as they were leaving the lot.

[Webster54]

i moved a family out of their old house without packing their humble computer first. i expected humble to show up again at the new house. i was bummed. but then i realized that you can do all the same stuff on a regular computer. for some reason, i thought the humble computer was the only one that would allow you to browse the internet or blog or join competitions. i was able to blog and search the web with one of the regular computers. what a relief!

[musiquefille_SC]

Humble will come again if only some of the family members move, which is nice to know. But as the above says, you can do everything on the other computers too. Yay.

[princesshaichu]

Sims with NO neatness point pee in the shower. :C Grooooossssss.

[Ghost sdoj]

You can build a garden on on a community lot you own, and other people can be influenced to garden in it for you.

[tairourou]

I learned some things the other day!
My irresponsible, partying mama Angela got her daughter taken by the social worker, because she was too busy having fun on her date to feed poor Lyla. I then discovered that elders can adopt too, so Angela's parents adopted their granddaughter. The disturbing thing is that Lyla has no memories whatsoever, and on the family tree, she now thinks her mother is her sister and her grandparents are her parents! I don't know if I should go into SimPE and change it or not, because legally her grandparents *are* her parents now, but it's weird to have her think of her mother as her sister.

[Claire]

over 3,000 posts????!!! I think it is time to start a new thread, lol

[CheshireImp]

Yesterday a professor that I don't think either of my sims had met before called them up to go to a community lot. So they get to the lot and professor chick (who was actually a good looking sim) starts trying to put the moves on both of my sims. But mostly she went after the girl, who has two nice points at most. Cue multiple rejections for things like "Be Kissed Romantically" and "Be Made Out With". I did not know townie types could do that XD

[FurryPanda]

I learned that the platinum design on a sim who died of old age carries over to their urn.

[Racinette_SC]

I had a sim take a shower and another sim use the toilet that was in the same room as the shower. When the sim flushed the toilet, the other sim jumped out of the shower as if the water just turned really cold. Iv never seen that happen before.

[Elspeth73]

I can't believe I didn't notice this before, but I was looking through Dina and Nina Caliente's family tree and discovered they both have an alien ancestor.

[ani_]

Komei was on a date - and I found a "offer ride home" or something like that- option under ask. Never found out what it did, as she ended the date then and there and split.

[Menaceman44]

Is that the same option that brings the date back to your Sims home or is that a different one?

[Ferret II]

Is that the same option that brings the date back to your Sims home or is that a different one?

Its the same I think?

[Ghost sdoj]

"Ask if you need a ride home" will end the date on a positive note right then. "Ask back to your place" continues the date at your house.

( I was half hoping you -could- go home to your date's house, but I didn't really think it would work.)

[ani_]

I was thinking it would shift komei back to his place, and then get some pop-up about what happened at her place. For me it didn't look so positive, more like - ewh - nice try looser.

[Ferret II]

That ghosts will change into outerwear when it is cold. O_o

[leenetje]

i found out river blossom hills has a stone statue of the easter island or however they are called on a island on the edge of the hood in the water

[elekanahmen]

After my sim Woohooed today, she got a little popup saying "I really liked this Games activity!"

[Cinamun]

lmao!!!!^^

[AxelValentine]

That I can't play without the InSIM.
I finally get to play with FreeTime installed and I just can't do it on my larger houses.
I can with smaller ones though. So I'll get my fix like that.

ETA: Even if watching a TV not updated for FreeTime, a sim can still watch a movie. Just have them watch TV as normal, then Movie will show up as a bulls-eye option.
Also, teens who own a car will go to school in the car and ignore the bus.

[Willow's Tara]

I can't believe I didn't notice this before, but I was looking through Dina and Nina Caliente's family tree and discovered they both have an alien ancestor.


They do? I don't remeber that, I should check it out. Guess this is my what I discovered today lol:)

Oh I also discovered that when customers drop their bags in anger, when you clean it up you get the money back that was brought by the customer.

[1306]

I discovered what F10 can do: It can hide the whole toolbar on the lower-left (You all should be familiar with that).

[Ghost sdoj]

The nanny Karen Gast and the garden club lady Tiffany Zarubin don't get along with each other. At all. But the nanny is a better fighter.

(Of course Karen is the nanny who got one of my toddlers so mad at her that he influenced Kennedy Cox to fight her, and I have the Fight Club hack in there. She did get quite a bit of practice fighting Kennedy.)

[dosymedia]

I discovered that (duh) the delete key on the keyboard will delete neighborhood decorations, so I can scrape my towns as many times as I want without actually deleting them.

[Fernweather]

I discovered that when a Sim returns from being abducted by aliens and tells his story to another Sim on the lot who didn't witness the abduction, the other Sim will laugh uproariously at his story.

I also (finally) discovered the individualRoofSlopeAngle cheat.

[1306]

The nanny Karen Gast and the garden club lady Tiffany Zarubin don't get along with each other. At all. But the nanny is a better fighter.

Gee, I have to try that! I've got so many sims who are totally ticked off at the nanny! :p

I discovered some career rewards actually give you money for using it. Take the Gaming career reward, the Tiki Pinball. It gives your sim 5 simoleons every minute your sim keeps playing on it. Or the Podium from the Law Career, it also gives 5 simoleons.

I also discovered how beautiful the Koi Pond reward from the Oceanography career is so beautiful with a forest/garden.

[I_Love_Simming]

All townies have the same hobby, tinkering ¬_¬

[Ferret II]

I discovered that when a Sim returns from being abducted by aliens and tells his story to another Sim on the lot who didn't witness the abduction, the other Sim will laugh uproariously at his story.


Oh wow, thats too cool! I never noticed that.

I discovered that the hack which gives vampires the ability to kill people is very useful for getting rid of fugly townies.

And also, my vampire sim Max bit a townie. Of course their relationship went into negative and they became enemies. Then, as the townie was dying, Max pointed and laughed at her :blink:

[Annette_SC]

After my sim Woohooed today, she got a little popup saying "I really liked this Games activity!"

I got the same thing, only it was tinkering. lol Yeah, we know what you were tinkering with, ya perv!

[I.nfectious_SC]

I discovered that if you leave a bath outside, any ghosts on that lot will have a bubble bath lol...

[Ghost sdoj]

One of my sims married a Townie, who the Garden Club guy Matthew Smith fell in love with when he came over in Spring. Her (Not nice at all) husband got infuriated at Matthew trying to flirt with his wife right in front of him, and developed a feud which culminated in "kidnapping" him (moving him in late one night) and then killing him.

The ghost was floating around while my sim and his wife were having woohoo, and suddenly the ghost fell out of love with the wife, and the wife got a memory of cheating on the ghost. (Despite never having had any relationship with him at all.)

Knowledge sims actually -can- get tired of seeing a ghost!

I'm not sure it's already noted but I've discovered that the octopus sprinkler from OFB (a craft able toy) can wash dogs.

The dog go there and use it himself, it's funny and practical. :)

[ShanOw]

I discovered that my computer is way to slow, and It's time to get a new one :p

[Fernweather]

I discovered that Sims can break items in dorms with the tinkering skill and will not have the option to repair the item (I'm guessing items in dorms don't normally break from usage?). If they call the repairman, the repairman will show up and charge the basic show-up fee, but will not actually do any repair work. In short, if your Sim decides to tinker on campus, he/she better be ready to buy a replacement for anything that gets broke.

[Fantasyrogue]

I found out really neat sims can autonomously clean windows. I had never seen that before but right now I have one sim obsessed with cleaning the windows if there's nothing else to clean.

That's so adorable. Neat freak sims are so neurotic and cute. I once had a girl who flipped out because she had to use a public bathroom.

You shouldn't have to replace the items. Just get your Sim to tinker with them again and they eventually fix them. Mine do anyway.

[LegolianM]

So Aubrey and Ali are furious with each other now, and I discovered that when Ali comes by, if I have Aubrey greet him he'll stand far away from him and do this "Hmph, wtf do you want?" sort of thing.

And I re-discovered that furious vampires are complete idiots. He keeps going over to his house in the middle of the day to steal things. He even went over when there was nothing left to steal just to stand there and glare at the house, all the while burning in the sun. >_<

[nixie_SC]

took me 45 minutes to install everything ..... >.<

Ah, that's good to know. My tinkering students can continue to be a menace to dorm property then.

Today I discovered that when my Sims visit the local grocery store they can buy a full fridge worth of food no matter how much food is actually in the fridge at home. A BV/FreeTime glitch perhaps? Ordering food for delivery still allows them to only order what they need.

I also learned that the female Slob has a job as a convenience store clerk. One of my Sims in the slacker career brought her home from work at which point she stood in the street and let loose a hideous green whiffer before going inside to eat what was left of a rotten, fly-infested bowl of cereal. :yech:

[Mihura]

Today I've discovered that a Sim who eat a good meal (like a fish from pond) want to prepare the same meal (for a knowledge and a popularity Sims). It's maybe and add from Free Time which I haven't noted. :p Lol with one Sim I have give fishes from his girlfriend and for the other he's currently trying to fish in his new pond. A nice addition I guess. ;)

[PaintedRain]

the stage can be painted!

[HCAC]

Which is why I only added on Free Time when I bought it Sunday and I am dealing with the problems (glitches)...

I HATE the time wasted by reinstalling!! :lonely:

[SIMposiast_SC]

I discovered today that the Grim Reaper can be spooked by a ghost while he's calling down the beam of light on a dead sim. He even wet himself in fright. It was hilarious; you wouldn't think Grimmie would be affected by ghosts at all in his (ahem) line of work.

[BellieHime]

a sim can get himself on fire with the filled-somethind dessert. Even when (s)he has high cooking skills

[Fernweather]

The all-purpose green textbooks have a title (sorry about the quality of the pic):

http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm146/Fernweather/sim_book.jpg

I'd always thought the wording was just some more Simlish wingdings, but it's English in reverse. As far as I can make out, the title appears to be "Reference for the People Sim" or "Reference for the Simple Sim."

[Menaceman44]

I saw somebody else before read the book title as "Reference for the ample Sim".

[Slytherin-Girl]

Crepes Suzette! I got pictures of that once, and the sim had full cooking skill!

i discovered that it's fun to have an 8 sim family made from the same sim template; one themed for each EP and one for the base game... because of the lack in clothes from pets, i made the pets sim a dog lol...

I discovered that Burke has three bolts with six sims. That's a new record in my game XD. Too bad he's a knowledge sim and totally loyal to his lover. Otherwise he would definitely take advance of the situation.

[Ghost sdoj]

I discovered the gypsy is crazy. She kept setting up one of my sims with Elders, despite the (minor) detail that he is a Young Adult who is turned off by grey hair. When I finally paid less than the maximum she actually managed to bring him a date his own age that he had 2 bolts with.

(One of the occasions where I was using money hacks. When you pay your last 5000 simoleons for a decent date and get someone with whom you have no chemistry, you are due a refund!)

[JadeEliott]

(One of the occasions where I was using money hacks. When you pay your last 5000 simoleons for a decent date and get someone with whom you have no chemistry, you are due a refund!)

Grouchy sims cheat while playing Marco Polo. He was constantly climbing out of the pool and sneaking around the edge, not just dropping underwater and sitting on the bottom.

[Annette_SC]

Amen! The gypsy needs a better crystal ball. Windex that thing, dammit!

I drink to that! My teenager wanted a date and someone's grandfather dropped out of the sky. I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

[bookworm_duo]

that happens all the time... the best thing you can do is to ask the fountain for a date; i observed it's the same date as the one the gipsy gives you

[LegolianM]

Talk about encouraging kids to not pay attention in school. o_O Because sports are obviously more important.

"Vampires can bite babies, toddlers, and childrens' necks."

Its awesome. :)

[Mihura]

I have noticed school (and job) cards for the FT enthusiasm but no the vampires who can bite younger Sims. It's really amazing yes ! :D

[Ghost sdoj]

One of my sims just ended up with more chemistry with the gypsy than with the date she brought him. (Full price, too!) Apparently grey hair counts as black? Or maybe it still counts as the color it used to be, and the gypsy's was black before she got senile? But he had 3 lightning bolts with the gypsy despite the fact that his turn-ons are black hair and fitness. When he asked her, the one she listed was facial hair. Which he didn't have either.

[xHailOfBulletsx_SC]

I discovered that the grilled cheese aspiration is really not as funny as I expected when I chose it to be one of my Sims secondary aspiration. I'm already bored with her wanting grilled cheese all the time.

[Emmy-chan]

I just realized that when it rains the raind actually runs off the sim's house's roof. When I saw it I was like WOAH! :)

[Fantasyrogue]

I learned through playing my legacy family that toddlers can interact with the fish tank. I didn't know this since I don't often have fish tanks in my sim homes and my toddlers spend most their time in their own rooms, not the living room. I wonder what else toddlers can interact with that I never noticed (I know about the music thing).

[Tzigone]

Well, not today, but recently, I read the description on the dollhouse for the first time. I'd never used it, because I like skill-building toys. But I was doing the challenge where you adopt a baby every day and I wanted them to bond and such, so I got it. And it was 10 fun, I saw. And I read the description. And I burst into giggles realizing it was applicable to The Sims and that I'd heard The Sims referred to as a virtual dollhouse. I really am slow on the uptake.

[1306]

I discovered how ridiculously funny a lot of sims do different dances at the same time (as in 3 do the smustle, 5 dance solo). And it's even more ridiculous when they're tightly close.

[Webster54]

i discovered that children can play moonlight sonata on the piano. i luv that song.

[Mihura]

Did you know that a Sim with a high enthusiasm in music (maybe just the max, white aura) put automatically his / her formal wear to play with the piano ?

[Laughy]

That you can introduce sims to each other!. I have never noticed that, it was kind of cool.

[kampffenhoff_SC]

I have a Gay couple with a baby and one of them passed the baby to the other one. I have never seen Sims do that before--my straight couples have never done it.

[Tzigone]

Neat.
BTW the white aura does mean max enthusiasm and indicates that particular Sim is in "The Zone"... :)

I noticed that. They also wear formal wear when they play the violin. I don't know about the bass guitar or electric guitar.

I discovered that lots of funny stuff can happen when you make sims dance too close. ;)

[Willow's Tara]

That Olive Specter from Strangetown actually has a memory of whoohooing the Grim Reaper.

That once you reach full lifetime aspiration limit it also fulls your bar to white and and gives you plantium for the rest of your life.

When you wish to cheat death, your elder sim can keep winning against the Grim Reaper, my elder sim Amber Springs kicked the Reaper's butt like three times after she made a wish for that.

[babicatz05]

And I re-discovered that furious vampires are complete idiots. He keeps going over to his house in the middle of the day to steal things. He even went over when there was nothing left to steal just to stand there and glare at the house, all the while burning in the sun. >_<

Yep, I discovered that a few weeks ago, or rediscovered that he was taken by the social worker, now I am interested in her. Why does she have Lyla's Grunt grave in her yard? (Seeing how Buzz hates her, I am guessing she killed her), what are all the other graves doing there?

[I.nfectious_SC]

I've just started a new family and the "mum" keeps going to the fridge and scoffing her face. It's gross and funny all at the same time

[LegolianM]

Laughing my ass off. Seriously... :rofl:
Yeah, it was really amusing. XD

I discovered that my zombies have rotten teeth! o_O

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/LegolianM/Sims/teethwtf02.jpg

I'm actually quite pleased with it, though now I REALLY cannot watch when my zombie couple makes out. It was gross enough before, but now? *shudder*

[Ghost sdoj]

I have a sim who is becoming obsessed with the idea of turning -somebody- into a zombie. First it was the garden club guy who he caught trying to flirt with his wife and killed, now it's the guy who caught my guy's sister in bed with another man and was killed by the sister for making too much of a fuss over it.

Sorry, Alvar, you are not getting your zombie. I don't like them.

[Zzz!]

I'm guessing it's a neighborhood cemetery, just like Goth's cemetery in Pleasantview :) And I doubt anybody actually killed anybody.

[coltraz]

That Sims can walk and read. This occurred when I canceled the "go to class" option. Not sure if that's significant, or not..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/castrostaal/sims/bookwalk.jpg

[abitha]

coltraz: I think the walk/read is the FT idle animation for film/literature enthusiasts.

[Ghost sdoj]

Trying to take contest pictures of two guys who both have wings is very difficult to do. The stupid wings keep getting in the way.

[PlasticBarbie.]

Take the wings off?

Neat sims gain fun and comfort when they clean things! :D I never noticed that before.

[tairourou]

I discovered a new interaction! My super-sweet teen Ivory brought a friend home from school, and he was upset because he and another visiting sim got in a fight. She went up to him and put her hands on his shoulders and talked to him, and he kind of sniffled and nodded. Come to find out, it's an appreciate...cheer up interaction! I don't know where that came from; maybe it's only for nice sims and is only available when the target sim is in a bad mood? It was super sweet.

[musiquefille_SC]

Two things:

1. That some sims are incapable of relaxing on a hammock. Every time this one sim tried, he bounced right off!

2. That random neighborhood kids can jump inside the trash can, peak out waiting for someone to walk by, and pop out again when they've had enough.

[babicatz05]

Omg that is so awesome! I'm gonna put a kid on an empty lot to see it. :D

[LegolianM]

I discovered a "Nag" interaction. One of my Sims was in a really horrible mood and kept going over to other Sims and nagging them about all sorts of random things, and they'd wave their hand like "Pish" and turn away from him all irritated.

It wasn't the same as Lecture, I couldn't quite figure out what exactly he was nagging at them about.

[I_Love_Simming]

I discovered the Console Interaction (http://forums.sims2community.com/showpost.php?p=1182803&postcount=7)

That I have a Knowledge Sim and a Romance Sim with *three* bolts for each other.

[1306]

That a Sims 2 logo is found on the surgery table career reward:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/1306/Sims%202/signofthebed.jpg

[Fernweather]

I've noticed that Sims are espresso junkies. If there is an espresso bar on a community lot, Sims will largely congregate around it no matter how many other appealing amenities are available. The only thing that seems remotely able to compete are restaurants. And Sims aren't just happy for a single espresso either. They'll plunk down 20 simoleans for an espresso, sit down and drink it, and then immediately queue up to get another one.

I've also noticed that even the most generous, friendly Sims are extremely selfish when it comes to priorities. I once watched as a female Sim dropped dead during pregnancy (she got caught in a need sleep/need food loop). Her husband came in and pleaded with Grimmy and saved her from death. Right at that moment his carpool shows up and he twirls into his work clothes, does that thing outgoing Sims do when they point at someone and say what sounds like "Buddy buddy," and then trotted off to work. I would have thought calling in a sickie would have been a more appropriate response.

[babicatz05]

Sims can decide to cook something on the stove when there is already something in the oven. :S

[Ghost sdoj]

Jason Larson is really good-looking with a bit of a makeover

[1306]

I discovered how cooking in the oven and rain do not mix. As in don't let your sims cook when it starts to rain. They will abandon the oven and look out. The food they'll cook will born, or worse--a fire.

[xHailOfBulletsx_SC]

I discovered that sometimes Sims lie down when they're hanging out with people. This is probably old news to everyone else, but it happened for the first time to me yesterday.

Like seen here. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v709/MistressAmanda/Blake%20Legacy/53.jpg)

[Ani May]

I just discovered that if you have a toddler play with the doll house, if they put one of the dolls in their mouth and you go tell them to do something else, the little head in the command menu will actually have the doll in its mouth.

The bills turn colours depending on how overdue they are. I always thought they were different colours just for looks, I did not realise the colours actually MEANT something!! White, stage one. Yellow, stage two. Red, stage three!

[Zaggytiddies]

I wish i would have gotten a picture but I didn't realize it till it had already happened. In my legacy family there are lots of children. I have three boys sharing a room. Two of them got up at around the same time and were just standing there. Then the one boy drug his feet along on the carpet and shocked his brother!!! I've never seen that interaction before. I'm assuming it came with freetime. I've looked and there doesn't seem to be a way to make them do it... I could be wrong though

[princesshaichu]

Nope, it didn't come with FT--it's something that's been around since rugs were introduced to TS2 (I think, it started happening when I got Seasons, but that was my first EP). It is hysterical (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll297/hupsoonheng/Picture29-3.jpg), though. If both your kids are on a carpet, you'll get an interaction added to the menu--Prank.../Static Shock, and voila!

[Webster54]

Originally it only seemed to work with the Maxis rugs but that may have been fixed by now. Might be worth trying out if you can't get the option to come up though :D It's in a sub-menu so have a hunt around (sorry I can't remember which one but would hazard a guess at 'Play')

I never noticed that but then again I don't usually let them stay uncleaned for that long lol

[Tixi]

turn the TV on, change channel, then change channel again

I discovered sims who write in their diaries will suddenly stop writing and thrust the diary to his/her chest when a sim gets too near to them. Creepy, if you ask me...

[Ghost sdoj]

I even had one very shy sim hide her diary when a ghost floated past her. Which was weird, because she didn't get her aspiration points for actually seeing the ghost. If she didn't see him, how did she know he was there to hide her diary from him?

[Menaceman44]

My Sims only hide their diaries if the other Sim in the room is someone they aren't best friends with.

Sidneydoj: maybe she had a feeling of being watched...?

[Ferret II]

I discovered that toddlers will kiss puppies after cuddling them. So cute!

EDIT:

I also discovered that ghosts of vampires will burn in the sun too! I moved a vampire's grave during the day, and they were burning XD

[Menaceman44]

I just discovered that Sims with 4 bars of creativity can play Greensleeves [on the piano].

[treeag]

What is greensleeves? :blink:

[Willow's Tara]

1306- Thatr is weird, in a NH there's a little girl who's parents were killed by a evil woman, and hnow she lives with them and the zombies of her parents, she was doing her diary when I think the evil woman who looks scary walks in, it was kinda like in a horror movie or something lol.

Anway I discovered after testing:
That if a Sim dies with owned business but no friends. The business will be given to a complete (And I think playable) stranger, because Priya Tressville got the business despite never meeting Lara Alone. (Her husband owns another business so maybe that's why).

I also learned when a sim quits her job at a business owned lot, all employees will lose thier jobs and NPCs will take over. Also that if you live on a home business but then die, any sims to move in will move into a c losed business.

[JadeEliott]

treeag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greensleeves

[treeag]

Thanks JadeEliott :D Never heard of it before. So how certainly can a sim play it? On the piano?

[ani_]

I have one woman who own's a very crappy hamburger place. When I was playing her, she was doing the cooking and she hired two people, one worked as the host, one as the waitress. When I went to the lot with another playable sim, she was doing the cleaning up, and the host was doing both hosting and cooking. I didn't know sims can multitask :)

[Ghost sdoj]

I've never heard Greensleeves on any of the Uni instruments. I guess I'm going to need to buy pianos for them again...

Unless it came from Free Time.

[Menaceman44]

Sorry to have caused confusion. I've altered my post now to mention that it was the piano that my Sim was playing at the time.
Normally I don't listen to the music as I have the game on speed 2 or 3 when they practice. I also heard another piece of music that my mum hums and sings occassionally.

[1306]

Actually, I can recognize a few pieces from the piano:

-One of Chopin's works
-Moonlight Sonata
-One that I think is a minuet

Back to the topic:
When you let your sims use this hearing device reward from the intelligence career, a messeage will soon pop up saying what it is. I got one that says "It's the sound of pennies dropping" or something like that.

[ani_]

That sims will go far and wide for a good education. I have the empty template in my hood (N001), pets, BV and Season's are normal. So you can imagine my suprise when my kid brought a friend home from school (I was hoping this would not happen). Then when my kid called this new towny kid - I found out he's actually a turist. You can invite him over for 3 days. So I did that - he's coming over tomorrow.

This is officially my favorite thread :D I have no idea how much I've been missing. I've yet to see toddlers dancing, interacting with the fish tank, being licked by dogs, escaping from the crib, and fight for milk bottles! :insane: So much...... I can't wait to test all of them :D

[simsonthemac]

I discovered that you can have three way calls, i think thats awesome and so realistic.

[Ghost sdoj]

Console works if the consoler is in love with or a family member of the consolee. And someone with a nice level of 0 can manage it. Which startled me, but he has 3 lightning bolts with her, so even as a knowledge sim he was rolling wants to woohoo with her. In the Fall!

Then he rolled a want to drink the guy who had shoved her, see his ghost, etc.

I guess this is his idea of being romantic?

[Fernweather]

Some townies/NPCs are way too needy. There's a bartender NPC who seems to be working at about half the bars in my current game, and he keeps calling every one of my Sims that he's had contact with. They keep hanging up on him but he keeps calling :wtf2:.

I guess he's just really jonesing for tips or he's been living in the basement of his parents' house for so long that he's become socially maladjusted.

Whatever the reason, I see a cowplant in his future.

[LegolianM]

I have a bartender just like that who keeps calling every single Sim she's ever met. After a while I noticed she was calling my male Sims more often than my female ones (especially one in particular); the next time I saw her I made her selectable and noticed she was Family, so now I just tell myself she's desperate for a husband.

I was annoyed with it at first, but seeing as the one guy she's the most fond of has Romance as a secondary, she might get lucky some day. XD

I've noticed some of my own Sims being desperately clingy like that too; one of my girls, Ash, is constantly calling everyone she's met, which is really against her personality. She can't possibly be lonely, she has a boyfriend AND a son living with her.

[Zzz!]

I've discovered that strays can be annoying as hell. You pet one, and the next thing you know, it tears up your $3000 bed. Ugh.

I have no idea how I missed this, but apparently a decorative glass wall-shelf came with Bon Voyage! The first thing that I do whenever I get a new expansion pack is scroll through all of the different catalogs and look at every single new item. When I first saw the shelf, I assumed that it was just a piece of custom content that I had accidentally downloaded with something else, but after looking at it more closely I realized that it had been in my game all along. :D

Seasons added a decorative knick knack corner shelf and fountains that go in a lake. (Or a pool, but I've been having too much fun fishing to build many of those anymore.)

Zombies walk funny. x3

(I've never had a zombie before today)

[Ghost sdoj]

:)

You will also notice that zombies think about brains a lot. But unless you get the zombie apocalypse mod they never do anything about it.

[PlasticBarbie.]

Zombie Apocalypse? O.o

That sounds.. really fun. Where do I find this mod? :D

Some Sims REALLY like pets. My Sim, Theo Fink, was bordering on aspiration failure and he had a huge want (5,000pts) to get a pet, so I had him spend the last of the family simoleans adopting a kitten. He doesn't ever have anything to do with the thing (he didn't even greet the cop when she dropped it off) and won't interact with it unless told to. However, his wife Cleo won't stop playing with it. Any time she goes idle for more than a couple of seconds she heads straight to the kitten and begins playing with it. Awwww.

Also, there is an evil mascot who, when he visits the uni dorms, always uses the women's bathroom to shower. I don't know if this is a glitch or just another thing he does to annoy everyone.

Some of the cow mascots are women

[Menaceman44]

In my game most Cow mascots are female and most Llama mascots are male.

That the painting "The Waters Flow" by Edgar Velveete is not only animated, but also a light! Cute, though not for my Victorians.

[PlasticBarbie.]

Thanks Heny! :)

This one's definitely a man. He takes off his mascot outfit when he showers.

sims bladder goes down when a wolf holws. That's freakin hillarious

[coltraz]

That parent Sims can play with their toddlers, while the toddlers play with a toy. I guess they just sit there and give their input...

[Mihura]

The bunny toy can improve relations too (it's good to make it usable by a toddler and his / her sibbling). :p

Older siblings can, as well; in any of my sim families where the parents are too busy for the kids or are just the sort of bad parents that want nothing to do with them, I usually designate a teenager to play the parental role, and that teen will sit with the toddler when the kid's playing with his/her toys. I'm also pretty sure you can have children join them. It really help build sibling relationships.

[Lenoba]

There is an option if a toddler is playing with a teddybear ("play with"), but the child does nothing...

[Zzz!]

I discovered that I can too build awesome houses (after making somewhat of a castle).

Oh, and that "earn this and that badge" wants are superannoying. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, that was the part I wanted to mention that I forgot to: that it builds their friendship. :) It's cool. Does it only happen with the bunny toy?

I discovered this chance card for kids:

I also discovered Sims no longer seem to be able to play handheld console games with each other. I know they could when Uni was released or is it an age specific thing?

[Ghost sdoj]

My adults do that so often I started taking the game systems away from them. So it must be something one of the later EP's did.

I have a sim who has become a Space pirate now. And he sleeps with his eyes open. He has maxed out all 7 skills, and his new LTW is to reach the top of the Journalist career, but I think I'm going to leave him a Space Pirate. It just seems so appropriate for a Space Pirate to sleep with his eyes open.

[treeag]

I didn't know a space pirate sleep with his eyes open. Is that a glitch or a feature? :blink:

Primping an gussying up raises sims' hygeine level a little bit.

I get that chance card too alongside two other chance cards; these being asked if the child wants to play the cello or trumpet or when they play their song to the school, do they want to rock it out or tone the song down.

The children who get the chance cards have high enthusiasm for music & dance.

I wonder if children who have high enthusiasm for other hobbies get chance cards?

I've also discovered today that you can turn the volume down for the sound effects to ignore the constant phone calls! :lol:

That a sim can actually get to know Unsavory Charleston. I had Glade and his boyfriend Tucker on a date downtown. Unsavory Charleston was on the lot as well, and Glade got an option to introduce Unsavory to Tucker. So I did that - and they shook hands. When Glade and Tucker moved in togeather - Tucker has Unsavory now in his friend panel - and he knows him 7%. I always thought you couldn't get to know this guy - as when Glade was playing poker with him - they played for hours - his social was going up - but he never got to know Unsavory.

It's a function of the way I made him. I don't have a picture of him handy, but he has oversized slanted eyes. (And oversized pointy ears.)

[treeag]

Oh, I thought every space pirates do that :P .

[AxelValentine]

Sometimes Sims just sleep with their eyes open. I've seen it in my game and on the picture threads. Pretty funny to see a space pirate do it though - like he's watching out for the bounty hunters. *laugh*

I actually had something to say but I forget it now...

[xliverbeanx]

That some sim children have lost teeth/have gaps in their teeth? This is the first time I've noticed this...I've really made the effort to slow down and enjoy the game more, and upon observing, I saw this...I'm pretty sure it's not a glitch, because I don't remember downloading anything like that. But these are the pictures...if anyone knows what this is supposed to be or signifies, let me know! And does anyone know if they grow out of it, or does it carry on into adulthood?

It looks like it's just the custom skin you're using

[LHSFlute88_SC]

Apparently, kids can bring home adults from school. o.O;; One of my Sim kids got off the bus and it was like, "Tobias has brought a friend home from school today!" Nothing too odd, until I realized that the person he'd brought home was one of my adult Sims! Go figure. :/

[babicatz05]

Creeeepy...That would make me wonder about the adult sim that followed the kid home. :P

[SofieAmalieN]

Sim can whistle! Not just the flirting wolf whilste. My sim can whistle tunes - it's so cute when she does it in the morning. I think it might be because she's into Music and Dance.
