Re: Sim is turning into an ape character when going to work?!?

@DMDragonCTOh cool! Now I know this will work, thanks! :D I usually see several different Sims in bear costumes whenever I play in Granite Falls (my Sims spend lots of time there). Does the Bigfoot costume cause a Tense or any other moodlet like the Bear costume?

In my most recent save the Hermit is also an elder female but I would be fine with her dressing up as a Bigfoot. After all, the most famous (alleged) Bigfoot is a female named Patti ;-D

    @RandomBuzziness I don't think that the bigfoot costume causes tense moodlets or enables any type of special interactions. That's definitely the drawback and also why my bear-guy only wears it as a secondary outfit. I was also a bit afraid that he might lose his special NPC-tag when his primary outfit wasn't a bear anymore. I've never tested this.

    On a side note, it's interesting how varied different games are, because in all my years playing, the game has only ever generated a single bear character for me. I know that there's even a mod out there that stops the spawning of more bears, but I obviously never had a need for it. And since I've always played with "age active household only", the hermit, the park ranger, the bear/bigfoot and the forest ghost have been the same characters for me since the very beginning.

    @DMDragonCT I'm guessing all of the NPCs for Granite Falls are generated on the first time you visit that world & there does seem to be some randomness to it. I usually do my best to ignore the Bear sims & in some of my saves there may very well have been just one, but the one save where I specifically checked their names & tag info there was at least two. In several of my saves I have seen more than one Park Ranger as well. There has always been just one Hermit but I have seen them both male and female versions.

    I've never edited any of the Bear sims but I did use the Modify in CAS cheat to change one of the Rangers because I would see her in other worlds and her everyday outfit was ridiculous. Afterwards, she'd still be wearing a regular Ranger uniform when I would see her in Granite Falls. I've also changed the everyday outfit for one of the Raccoon sims from San Myshuno and she would still dress up as a Raccoon at night. Funnily enough, one time I saw The Hermit from that particular save in a karaoke bar in San Myshuno! I guess she was not so much of a Hermit after all? xD She was dressed in her regular Hermit clothes but it would have been hilarious to see her show up there wearing a Bigfoot costume! xDDD
