Make your fortune in Tiberium in three weeks or less, I did. :D :mrgreen: My app will show you the best ways to make Tiberium get you a new mansion, a Fresh Prinz luxury car or exotic sports car or even a business jet.

Start living the life you deserve. Start Tiberium farming today. :D

Disclaimer: Results may vary, Three weeks is the personal experience of the poster, depending on how many tiberium spawners you lay down. The poster bears no personal responsibility for your results. :D

For earlier in this thread:

If your sim leaves work when he/she gets a promotion, just click on the building again and you'll have an option to "go to work" (:

--------------------
Did you know if your sim has the childish trait they can fish in a pool?!

I know I have more facts I'll have to back and play to remember them lol

But I definitely learned some new things from this thread!

- You can make different flavoured pancakes or waffles depending on the fruit or veg you have in your inventory.
- If you invite your boss to a party, you can ask them for a raise or a promotion.
- You can put candles on the side of the bath.

Wow I didn't know that!!

In Lunar lakes near the main fishing spot if you pan the camera down you can literally see a whale shaped pond.

@BMSO That's pretty cool. Lunar Lakes is the only store world I've yet to buy, but it's coming, and I'll be sure to look for the whale pond.

So, today I didn't know where my sims' dog was - he was hungry and needed to chew and that's not like him - and I found him sleeping on the bench in the sauna. I don't remember any of my dogs doing that before. Apparently, one of my sims went by on his way to bed, because he had a wet dog moodlet. "There are better combinations than wet dog and steam." I don't doubt that for a minute. :D

For those so inclined, the NRaas WrittenWord mod allows books written by your sims and others in town to appear for sale at the bookstores.

(Hey, look at that -- an NRaas mod that begins with "W" that we can actually talk about!) ;)

I got it just for this I found this mod fantastic ! @igazor I love to have my library full of new books. My sims generally likes to read even though they are not necessarily bookworm.
So sad we can't do the same with Alchemy, you create a potion that isn't listed in the Alchemy station book, with your own effects and you sell it at Aleister. o:)

I have found something cool today. If you got rusty yellowish old newspapers in front of your house, grab it. You will see the hand tool. Pull the newspaper until the green bin outside the house (this next to the mailbox) and drop it inside. It's easy to clean.
This is the same way as to tidy dog toys in front of the floor .

The difference is that your sims don't get the positive moodlet for having recycled if you clear the newspapers for them that way. But at least sims don't have to keep trying to remember whether it's the green bins for paper vs. the blue ones like some of us do (my building staff must hate me by now).

I recently had a bad experience with a maid and those dog toys. My sim dog needed to chew on one right away, but the maid wouldn't let him. She stood right there in his way and immediately "cleaned up" the toys as soon as I set them on the floor -- he's still a puppy, doesn't move about very quickly, and can't get his own toys out of the toy box. Should have dismissed the maid, but my other sims were not home. Was going to reset her after over a sim hour of this but I finally gave up and placed two more pet toy boxes on the lot, thinking that the annoying maid who had other things she should have been doing couldn't reach or stand right in front of all of them at once. That seemed to work. :)

@Igazor Did putting a toy right in front of the puppy not work? Was she too fast for him even then?

I'm sure there must have been a way to make that work maybe if I had tried several toys at the same time, but what was happening was that the maid was getting "Clean Up" on the toy in her action queue immediately, faster than the puppy could even begin waddling over to wherever I would place it even if it was right in front of them. Thus the object was unavailable to the dog because the maid, although she didn't always get there first, had the object locked and in use.

Guess I was more amused than annoyed by this, it's not like the dog was harmed in any way, but the game of Sneak the Toy Past the Maid sure did use up a lot of game clock time before I found a way around it.
