@Marshal_Banana I love your story. I've heard bad things about the mascot, but sounds like for you maybe not so much. I've had a similar situation with attraction. This applies to all sims in my current house, but there is one in particular who has the charismatic trait and has like 40+ friends. He will be asked on a date and while he is on the date, he will be asked on another date by someone else. I have been noticing this more and more up to the point where I have declined some people. I should point out that some of these people are married. Yikes.
I've had an experience with meteors too. My sims were minding their own business and then all of a sudden all my neighbors ran just outside of the kill zone. I ended up leaving two of my favorite sims in the kill zone because I didn't know what was going on and they were under a roof, so I did not see the shadow. What is scary is I hear that sims that are not in your active house cannot be moved if they are in the kill zone. I don't know if that is true or not. I could use resetsim to get them away. Common sense tells me not to stand in a shadow if there is a meteor coming. Next time I will be prepared! See May 13 for further details on the meteor incident.
