Have you ever left your sims run all night while you slept?

I started building the prison today.

I do hope you post screenshots of that, it sounds like a lot of fun!

Here we go. A lot of the rooms i.e. the cell and bathrooms, are too small to take decent pictures but here are some images of the outside of the prison, and of the prisoners and guards in various places.

The Oasis Prison viewed from the front.

The front viewed from above. In the grounds we can see some recreational equipment, the washing line, and the small shed leading down to a super secret place below the prison.

The back view of the prison complex, where we can see the plants grown by the prisoners.

Here's Hana, one of the guards, in her bedroom. It's summer so she's dressed for the season.

The other guard is Alex, here watching over human prisoner Georgia, who is eating breakfast.

Daphne, the vampire, rising from her coffin which is hidden in the basement 2 levels beneath the prison. The basement is accessible via the shed in the back.

Wow, great job---that turned out awesome!

Today I've been taking more of a hand in their lives to try and get them to focus more on the things I want them to do. I also set up 2 more clubs - one for the prisoners to specifically do work like gardening, cleaning and woodwork (because I need them to make money somehow) and another for sleeping to try encouraging them to sleep at the same time as each other.

One of the things that annoys me though is the fact that the prison bar panels aren't actually walls so the cells aren't open fronted at this point in time.

You can use the bars as walls (I've done it) but I could never get the door to work.

I hope you add a solitary confinement room for the really bad girls :smiley:

Looking at the way my cells are done I'm not sure I can add bars to the main cells. Having said that, it would be good to have a solitary cell, probably again in the basement. I could make that with the bars. I did think about not using one when the original idea was to let them do their own thing most of the time, but it would be a fun addition for sure.

Thanks for the laugh! :D I'm sure Marie could have a lot of fun with a solitary confinement room! :p

I made one but not using the bars that came with GTW. I'll see what I can do with it though if someone gets into a fight or the guards witness the vampire forcingly drinking someone's blood.

Here is something I don't understand---cell doors. Are they just props? When I hover my mouse over them (including the handle and lock), there are no actions I can take, I just get a regular arrow

Yeah, I think there was a missed opportunity here. Why do we even have this content if we can't use it normally?

I'm tempted to make a police officer sim in another save just to take a look at how they do the cells because I honestly don't remember.
