Thanks to Jo's Strangetown contest a couple of years ago, it's the Beakers who live in that house in my game now. Nervous has finally got out of his dungeon, and now sleeps in a bedroom high up in the sky!
Considering how many of my Sims wear hardly anything, I find it amusing that they get shocked because someone has removed the last fragment of fabric. I might look at Cyjon's mod.
My own pet peeve at the moment is when my Sims can't go on a group outing because there's a child in the house -- even though the child is included in the proposed group for the outing. I really don't want a no social worker mod -- children shouldn't be left alone in the house for hours. But Nancy Philippine wasn't going to leave her little brother -- she was trying to take him with her:
Nancy's boyfriend Gerard was out at work. I had intended to let Nancy and Scot go to school, but, after a break-in during the night, they were both far too tired, so I left them both in Simlogical Flexi-School for another day. The idea was for Nancy to take Scot out to the Electronics Superstore to buy a new television, and then take him for a meal out afterwards. They were both still in a casual group after she and Gerard had taken him out to buy new clothes the night before, so after breakfast she phoned for a taxi. When it arrived, she actually got dressed and went out to get into it, but then announced that she couldn't go, because she had to stay with Scot. Well, Scot then ended the casual group, and Nancy phoned for a taxi again, saying that it was for multiple Sims. This time, when it came they both got in and went to the Superstore. Unfortunately it turns out that Malcolm Landgraab doesn't stock the mid-priced TV that Nancy was after. So she bought a ยง93 ghetto blaster instead, and she and Scot took the taxi back downtown to Teenmealz, which is a cozy little restaurant for young people very close to where they live in Greaves Avenue. Unfortunately I had forgotten that they weren't in a group, so when Nancy went to the podium to be seated, the host (who is also called Nancy) showed her to a table on her own, leaving Scot to fend for himself. Now it turned out not to be so bad, as Scot wasn't nearly as hungry as Nancy, so he happily spent his time playing chess with little Hermes Hunter on an outdoor chess table in the garden behind the restaurant. And afterwards they did form a group and had a meal together at the poolside restaurant at the Veronaville Swim Centre. And, if Malcolm won't stock it, I suppose they'll just have to buy their new television from the Buy Mode catalogue.
So, all told, we managed to work around the problems, but it would have been simpler if the game had just accepted that the child was in the group, so there never was any question of him being left alone. GRRR!
All Sims are beautiful -- even the ugly ones.

The Veronaville kids are alright.
