Perplexed about a few small things in game today

What is the "Ask what happened" social? Often one Sim will mid-conversation or go over to another and "Ask what happened"

Why are my Christmas trees broken? :'( No tree skirt and No present pile :'(

Is there a way to make screenshots brighter? And maybe remove sparkles and other intrusive effects?

Are the other High School students wearing uniforms? Is there a way (even a mod or whatever) to give my active students matching outfit?

    I had that ask interaction pop up, couldn't find it in the socials. But the sim had a bed in her thought bubble so I guess she was uncomfortable from a bad nights sleep maybe.
    Just had Winterfest and everything worked well including the tree. There is an option for a pre-decorated tree and a separate present pile which may be a workable alternative.
    If you enter tab mode before taking a screenshot that will remove a lot of effects such as thought bubbles and plumbobs. No idea how to make them brighter though.
    I don't think there are uniforms in game.
  • "Ask what happened" has been available after a fire, as long as I've been playing. I don't know if there are new or other opportunities for it to pop up.
  • If you want your students in uniform, you probably will have to go to manage households and make that the everyday outfit for each one.
  • I don't know if it works on sparkles, but there is this cheat: headlineeffects off.
  • does headline effects off remove those annoying club thingies when sims are in club gathering cause thats like main reason I don't use clubs too often

    Yes it does. It removes the blumbob and club and group gathering things, but it also removes speak and thought bubbles. I'm not sure if it removes more than that.
  • I too would ask what happened if my christmas trees stopped working :disappointed:

    okay just joking i've no idea haven't noticed that interaction without new pack tho

    I think it's quite new, part of neighborhood stories or even the new high school pack (which I have purchased and installed).
