@lanlyn thank you for that awesome info. I think I like the Bottomless Nectar Cellar for Coby. Hadn't thought of that one. I've done it before and know it is doable. They'll need to get some extra money before the trip to France so he can afford a nectar making machine as well as pay for all their travel expenses and buy some books.
Hadn't thought of Descendant of da Vinci either. I do plan to get Wilfred working on sculpting for the next episode. I've discovered how lucrative sculpting is once the initial learning phase is over. They might get the simoleans they need for their trip to France and purchase of the nectar making machine from sculpting.
I've not yet been able to achieve the Super Popular LTW with any sim as far as I recall. Sharonda might have a chance though as she has so many siblings. If they count. I'll have to think about it. There are not many other sims in the world. I'll need to add some as future spouses for them eventually. I already did that but I see they are pairing up with each other and having babies already so another lot will need to be added.
This might add enough for her to make 20 friends. But - another one I've never tried is The Animal Rescuer and that one might suit her too.
Thanks for the ideas on the Genie too. I had memories of my first encounter with a SimBot when I finally got a sim to make one. It took such a long time to do and the household already had 8 or more sims in it. The SimBot jumped down off the inventing bench and ran outside, jumped into a taxi and vanished never to be seen again. With this genie, as soon as he wafted out of the lamp he ran upstairs and I was sure I'd lost him for good - but he just wanted to try to steal coins from the wishing well. He failed. But got very wet after several attempts. I think he'll make a very brief appearance at the end of the video I'm currently working on. He's very colourful.
I'll do some research on the genie before I play the next episode.
I think I got a bit lost in the middle of my very long post above - but I ran out of time and had to just post it as it was. I was having some fun with it. :) I didn't achieve much with sims or videos today - I had too many distractions and was out of the house for several hours early in the day. It's after 11 pm here now and I was trying to work on the video - but I think I'm too tired. I might just call it a night and start fresh in the morning.
Thanks. Happy Simming - or else just continue having fun. :)
EDIT: By the way, I now have a strategy that works for me when making a simbot in an overstuffed household. I watch that simbot making process carefully and as soon as it is made I pause and use NRAAS Master Controller to add it to the household. Haven't lost any since I started doing that.
