Is this normal? (relations/clubs)
I'm not quite sure what I ask, but the following just occurred a bit strange, so I want to ask if others had the same.
My female sim is ready to start her own family, so I set her to the house of a single male who I think might be suitable. I did not think about his fame though, he has two stars, making it a bit hard to interact with him. But they chatted a while, and the relation was about 10% + the pink bar was nearly 10% too. I sent her back home, then tried to call him to chat, but there was no option to chat with this guy. All she could do was inviting one of his groups to hang out at her current lot... I thought it might be because of his fame.
She then invited his "family club", and they all arrived. She knew his sister quite well already, and their eldest brother + their old parents came too. I noticed their father had a red "shopping cart" above his head, as if he was in a retail store, but this was a residential lot. He is that club's leader, so I wondered if my active sim would have to please him in some way to avoid that the club left, but there was no such options, all the visitors had 2 or 3 fame stars. My sim tried to communicate with them all but never went beyond the "ask for autograph" level. The first guy she could talk a bit more with, but very limited.
Well, eventually the group left (about 3 hrs later). My sim is not a member of their club, btw, so she was probably not running a club event.
Then, after they were all gone, I checked her relations. She could still not call the first guy to chat. But she could now call his older brother to chat! The brother she has only a relation bar but no visible color so I less their level is less than 1%. So how come she can call just the one with nearly no relation at all - he is even more famous (lvl 3)...
I know this probably got a bit detailed and complicated - if you get the picture, and have any idea whether it is normal, pls let me know :) I assume the fame system is to blame, but how about the red shopping cart and that she could c all the brother?
