Yes, you put it on the wall and then they can look at it. It will actually pop up a special big box UI and you can see the bugs.

If this happens, I believe you can actually use the batbox to "fix work state" and then the sim should be set as not having to work that day.

Default Who do I credit for this dress?
So My Minerva McGonagall sim is ready for upload however her dress is a recoulor by me of Almighty Hat's AL retexture of K8's Fairy dress on Parsimonious Cynnix's using AF mesh and TF conversion both with pregmorph. and I am a little unsure how to word the credit, other than obviously to Cynnix, Almighythat and Kate. Also I am confused on Almighty hat's policy for this it says "the Fairy Witch witches follow my policy on the sidebar," But I can't find it on their site?

And more about work; When my Sims want to stay home from work, I can't create that memory. It says wait till the car comes (& what if they drive their own?) and then cancel the action. That does NOT create the stay-home memory

I don't think there is such a memory, just a want.

What happens if I place more than one chef stove in a community lot?

I would assume a second chef will spawn to use it, the same way as each till gets a cashier.

I can confirm yes, and another waiter though I would not recommend unless you have a rather larger building, as it causes routing issues. Or nobody picks up the dish as they all focus around one stove

^ The same happens if you place the items on residential lots (which I really don't recommend due to the annoyance). Was playing a lot and had made a mock restaurant, and suddenly found a waiter running around. Turned out the restaurant was running itself without customers, the cook busy making food and everything, and I have no clue where that waiter was running to, because the restaurant was on another floor

(Seems removing the items removes the NPC that spawned with them, though)

Anyway, if I ever want to make mock restaurants again, I'm using deco versions of those items...

What causes the Multi PT to show up in the relationship panel when you impregnate a Sim via Pregnancy Manipulator (Sim Manipulator) and change the pregnancy stage to 3rd Trimester? I'm trying to have Pascal's pregnancy use one of my Multi PT but every time I impregnate him and put his pregnancy to where it should be, he automatically knows the PT that impregnated him. Can I remove the relationship somehow? Is it problematic in the future if I just left it there? Never had this problem before (unless I did and just never noticed). Thanks!

Edit: I found Monique's Relationship Remover gnome thingy. I used that to get rid of the PT from the relationship panel. I'd still like to know if there will be possible issues in the future though. :D

I think they appear if you copied PTs into neighborhood characters folder. If they don't have character files in neighborhood, they might not appear in relationship panel.
Do you mean in future that PT will appear as parent sending child to college?

right. What I should have said was it just doesn't satisfy the WANT.

Have you tried waiting until their workday has ended? Maybe that's when the want officially gets fulfilled, as you can send them to work anytime, but risk facing a penalty.
When a game is predictable, it's boring.
That goes for any medium that isn't life.
That's why The Sims 2 is my favourite sims game.
It has elements of unpredictability and everything feels more involved.
The Sims 4 is another story altogether...

CrystalFlame is right. You need to lock the stay-home-from-work want until it's fulfilled - which is not when the car departs, but at the time they get the "you-skipped-work-today" message several hours later. If you don't lock it, there's a good chance it'll roll away before it's fulfilled.

I haven't moved them into the characters folder, all files relating to the Multi PT mod (including the characters) are in the Downloads folder (DO NOT REMOVE specifically).

I haven't gotten that far yet as the pregnancy that I've noticed it happening to is Pascal, who comes pregnant at the start of every game. I don't play with cut-scenes on as I've seen them so many times so I don't think I'll ever know the answer. I'm going to run a few tests on a throwaway hood to see if it could just be because I'm cheating the stage of pregnancy. I'll also turn on the cut-scenes just to test for that specific scenario you mentioned.

Thank you!

PTs never appear in the college cinematic for some reason, but they do often block the human parent from appearing unless you get my mod that fixes that. Of course, if you play without cinematics you don't need it.

Is there any way to zoom or adjust the camera for the 'change appearance' window? It's so difficult telling makeup apart outside of CAS.

Just a guess but I suspect the file path name is too long. There are 256 characters before the ".package". Some programs can't handle more than 255 character path names.

One character over lol? That seems to have been exactly the problem, thanks, because chucking it in the main folder fixed everything. And I didn't get the problem in my modern hood (and therefore presumed that it would work in my period hood) because the hair folder has a couple less characters in the description.

I think that it's time to let bulk renamer loose on my Almighty Hat files instead of just planning to do it.

Thanks!

Glad "stupid" is in the name of this thread because I feel like this is a really stupid one but I remain mystified.

How are "animation friendly" eyes different from... other eyes?

They all look pretty to me! Lol.

Shorter filenames, people! Shorter filenames!

(In all seriousness, it takes a lot to get to 256 characters, but not as much as you think. Unfortunately, newer systems don't give you a single clue. I remember on my XP laptop, I'd sometimes get these squiggly lines ~ suddenly on some files, and had absolutely no clue why. Took me a while to realize it was because the filepath was too long, and the file didn't copy properly. I think it was my first year or so with simming and my first laptop, so I'll give myself a free pass for not knowing there even was a limit )
