Anyway, on the sims forums I keep seeing people type "EA are ___".
Shouldn't it be "EA is ____" ?

It's bugging the hell out me. I always think of a corporation as a single entity.

Sim related question: does anyone know which fog effects were used in this picture?

There are about 100+ fog effects and I'm too lazy to go through all of them right now. I'm just wondering if anyone recognize them off-the-bat.

You are correct. I shall illustrate with an example.

Do Imaginary Friends grow up with your sims through every lifestage, or do they stop aging or disappear at a certain stage (it seems an odd idea for an elder to still have their IF hanging around)? Also is there any mod or way to make IFs visible at all times, instead of only when their sim is the active sim? Then there's this problem I've been having while building an underground lair under the 'vampire lounge' ;P I've been trying to place a spiral staircase, but don't get the option to "hide" them (to be unhidden by activating a switch or something) like I get with the regular, ugly, space-consuming staircases. Is this always the case or am I doing something wrong??

Have they actually done this yet? In my game I only have 100 achievements to obtain; 50 Showtime and 50 base game.

Try adding Twallan's Register. It has an option to set the maximum number of each type of pet for your town. It's great for keeping the population under control.

Much, much thanks.

ETA: Just checked it out and the Animal Control feature is perfect for my needs, so thanks again.

I had this happen also. Stacks of gourmet pet food stuck in inventory. Only option on pet bowl was "command to guard". I deleted the pet food bowl in buy mode and bought a new one. I was then able to fill bowl like normal. Still don't know what caused it, just glad I found a solution.

When you set them to keep animals away, is the love heart supposed to change to a cross? I swear I saw screenshots of this somewhere but whenever I tell the gnomes to keep animals away their pose changes but the board image doesn't.

Oldest I've had was when my teen grew up with an IF out, and yes he grew up too. I would imagine that they just keep growing, no idea what happens in an elder has one out when he dies.

Say, if you got a stable gig at the coffeehouse when you were level 4 and are now level 9 and not really interested in it. On that matter, is there something you have to do to make said stable gigs actually happen after the original gig that turned into a stable one?

Have your performer go up to the proprietor and click on their perform interaction, such as Singer..., you'll have the choice to cancel the steady gig.

Thank you, I guess I'll just have to find out the hard way!

I know you have to have one at the Sims home lot, but I was wondering if they should travel to a community lot if a helipad was needed there as well? I notice that when a sims is returning home home from work in a helicopter or while on vacation tour helipad is not needed for landing.. Thanks in advance for assistance.

My apologies, apparently I am in the wrong thread, thought I was posting in Sims 2.

PunkyBreester Instructor Join Date: Nov 1999 Posts: 533 3 Achievements	You mean the time of day? It seems like they always grow up at different times for me. That could be issues with glitches/mods, though, because sometimes they que a birthday but keep dropping it, or freeze for a long time. I'm pretty sure its always been in the afternoon, though, around 6pm or after.. Once I had a sim who was supposed to age up on her last day of pregnancy, so I was expecting it to happen soon after the trip to the hospital... but she didn't age up until almost 3 days later o_o

Walk up to any proprietor at a venue and you'll have the chance to join a profession. Or, under Jobs on the computer, go to professions Singer, Magician, Acrobat are technically "professions", unlike Ambition or self employed "careers". No, I don't know why.
