It's this, for both surgeon and medical researcher.

I always thought it was dumb the nurses wore ugly green jump suits instead of scrubs. They look like janitors.

Hi @Sunrader - I'm sorry for the late reply to this, but do you think you might please consider sharing this knowledge somewhere when you have the time? I've always wanted to be able to do these things and would love to learn how. Thank you!

Sure, I can do this. I already wrote it up for myself, anyway, so I wouldn't forget. Will give you a heads up. Meanwhile feel free to PM if you have a burning question.

Apparently if your date gets eaten by a cowplant during the date, that's actually enough to make it a bad date and your date will chastise you about this from beyond the grave.

So one of my college students was really harassing the cafeteria cook and he never came back to work! Is that normal behavior (I mean, I can understand it), or is it borked?

It depends what mods you have in place. Like if you have the Visitor Controller and you've banned enemies, and the cafeteria worker became enemies with a dormie, then I don't think he'd come back.

No, I don't use Visitor Controller or any mod that I know of that would ban someone from coming onto a lot.

Hmmm. Did a different cafeteria worker show up, or do you now have no cafeteria worker whatsoever?

Is it only on that lot? It sounds like there's something amiss in your game, whether it's caused by a mod conflict or corruption is unknown to me and you may want to go to the help section if deleting the stove and buying a new one and then exiting and re-entering the lot doesn't fix anything.

Was the cafeteria worker made selectable at some point? From my experience, somtimes the game starts treating them like a visitor, and if they leave due to low motives they don't come back. Replacing the cafeteria stove usually makes them come back.

Using SimWardrobe's Crumplebottom purse to wallop your date will immediately end the date:

No other cafeteria worker showed up. I didn't notice until everyone started complaining of hunger and I realized the fridge was also almost empty.

What I decided to do was kick all the students out of the dorm, so I think that should reset the dorm altogether. If that doesn't work, I'll try deleting and rebuying the stove. I did play another dorm after theirs and the cafeteria worker was there (a different one). We'll see if there's anything funny next time I come around to university.

It did amuse me to think that the cafeteria worker just quit in a fit of pique after Olivia was ripping him a new one for who knows what. Thanks for the helpful suggestions!

That will be so great, thank you! I won't have access to my simming/sc4 computer again until September, so I don't have anything pressing right now, but I will be eager to read this when you have it ready. Thank you again so much!

If you close a business just after you've called to start a party, the guests will go home right away when they enter the lot. And no matter if you bring them back with the Spawner from sim manipulator, the party will still be a Disaster. Same goes for having a party at an open business where the guests buy things and then go home.

BUT! I discovered it actually is possible to save the party if you bring the guests back before the party timer has appeared!

I just found out that ghosts can interact with each other! I guess I don't normally have several on a lot. But I saw my Ghost Cat and Ghost Dog playing with each other. Then, the very next night, Ghost Grandma was playing Ghost Fetch with Ghost Dog.

I had no idea and thought it was adorable.

I loaded a lot in one of my older neighborhoods to discover that the graves of the family dogs were missing. Since I'd been playing for awhile, I exited the game and ran the Hood Checker to clean up any problems before I tried to get the graves back. Hood Checker reported fixing several errors regarding missing graves. I restarted the game and went back into the lot to respawn the dogs' graves, but they were already back! This may not always work, but running Hood Checker is one more thing to try if you have missing graves, especially pet graves which can be a pain to respawn.

I always thought it was stupid that it was open on the outside cause water should get on the floor. After all these years I finally watched the animation carefully.

It irritates me that ghost cause the curtain to close, and you can't make them reset.

I discovered that there is a maximum amount to how many Sims can appear in the loading screen picture.

My Romana family had 2 adults, 4 children, and 2 toddlers, and 2 babies. All appeared on the loading screen.
This past rotation, the babies aged to tots and another baby was born. Now, the loading screen shows everyone in the family except the two who just aged to toddlers. Sorry Pastor and Septus, not only do you have the worst names in the family (they literally named their 7th kid "seventh" in Latin), but you're out of the family photo too.

8 Sims and 2 pets is the household limit (more pets will be shown if there are fewer Sims in the household), as far as I can tell... ...but I never realised there was an 8-entity photo limit still (that dates back to base game, presumably).

Sims can get yelled at for stealing gnomes.

Not only get yelled at, the owner of said gnomes will track them down and steal them back.

Of course the only gnome they won't steal is the electrified one which will definitely discourage it. With a shock to the would-be thief.

I remember once when that happened. One of my sims went off at night and came back with the gnome that had been stolen. In his inventory. At the time when going into a male sim's inventory crashed my game. Sigh.
