Also remarkable was that both boys were in a state of almost total nudity. Appropriate perhaps for sleeping with your boyfriend, but I know I'd have been very embarrassed indeed to have to talk to a policeman in such a state of undress!

I'd imagine that the Veronaville policemen are already well used to seeing sims in their underwear, considering that I've seen pictures of your sims wearing underwear on community lots lol.
Some have incredibly unique face templates while others, I don't know, EAxis got lazy and got the second face template and just thickened the brows or what.

"-atron" is a common suffix used to denote something automated, without human operation needed. Not sure what "band" could mean in this context. Someone suggested "bandit" which makes me think of one-armed bandits, that casino machine. Maybe the bandatron was originally more bulky and had an arm handle to pull like that casino machine?
Or maybe they were thinking about the wristbands that you sometimes get to show you have paid for entry into a nightclub or event. It could have been an automatic machine to put a wristband onto a sim to show they had paid for entry.
Or indeed it might just refer to bandit, as it takes your money, automatically.
If it did have an arm that sims had to pull, or an animation including sticking their arm in for a wristband to be applied (I am imagining a funny occasional failure for this where a sim gets their hand stuck in it, and the business owner has to come and free them or risk a bad review!) it could have been that these were scrapped in favour of the less cumbersome final version, which TBH I do find annoying watching people stand around trying to decide whether to come in or not. I wonder if there is a mod that makes that quicker.
I use the sims as a psychology simulator...

I wonder if customers not leaving have to do with the business being rank 10.
With similar looking queueing machines you might not pay anything if the service is free (like picking up a post package).
I think Massage isn't working as I would like. It seems to be not motivated at all, and you need to have an employee actively sell it. I have massage motivated for normal commlots, and now two guests come and massage one another, and my nightclub receives $100. An employee doesn't want to return at the massage table after a break. It seems to have a new dedicated work role, but it's not pushy.

The Business outfit almost always works when done from the manager's interaction. I have to execute an outfit planner on all categories to avoid losing the face. But this is fairly fast now.

I was redressing an NPC who got "fired" from a cook's job, removing makeup, when she lost her face in the process. Got the usual blank on the portrait and no eyebrows. I was gonna quit immediately. But the face came back after I respawned the NPC and accepted the blank one on Appearance. In the past it was worse: the face remained blank on the model. I wonder if there is something suboptimal with my method. The Business outfit almost always works when done from the manager's interaction.

Well, I've been playing without using any speed at all and its been great y'all! I'm always in a rush IRL why the heck am I rushing my sims too?! I know, I know thats a question for my therapist
It's been nice watching and being in the moment VS just getting them to the next destination or working on the next "goal".

Woops! It certainly feels like it sometimes lol. I'm very much a "hurry up" type of person lol. We'll see if I can do at Sim State with how slow they walk

I've basically stuck to this Speed 1 / Pause style of play ever since I started playing eleven plus years ago. It suits me and it suits my Sims. And you know, I think my Sims enjoy the game more because they know I'm looking out for them!

Every time I've sent my sims to P.U.R.E at 1am, there's been 3-4 pregnant middle-aged suburban moms hanging out. I don't want to have to ban them outright, but come on. You have 5 children, go home. You're killing the vibe. |
Due to mods that change visitors on community lots, I see a lot of kids and teens playing hooky.
