Today I've done a silly thing which I can't take back due to saving. So, last week or so I furnished a super duper cute apartment for my freshly graduated sim. I used the simkea sp (by Illogical Sims). It took me hours to furnish her one bedroom apartment. I was really chuffed with the result. The very next day my sim got pregnant. With twins. So she and her family enjoyed their awesome apartment only for one week because there wasn't enough room and rooms for all of them. I decided to move them to another place. And I accidentaly took the furniture with them.

This one is a personal favorite of mine over the years:Spoiler (Highlight to read)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H7NZ0GNIIEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H7NZ0GNIIEWith all seriousness though, i've had one or two like that before where i took up the entire apartment.---my most recent fail is attempting to mesmerise Caleb Vatore so i could get at his husband and turn him into a vampire. didn't work. Fortunately i saved just before that point but i felt pretty silly suspecting it was a silly idea all the same. :smile:

I decided to play a Sim living off the grid in a tent, with a fire for cooking. First attempt: 'Fire!' Second attempt: 'Fire!' Third attempt: 'Fire!'Cooking skill improved, and he'd caught a fish to roast. 'Fire!' I think that in only one instance was he able to successfully roast and eat his food without catching his chair on fire. I went back to playing my lawyer save.

Hi, I'm a noob so perhaps this is expected but.. I got my daughter alien to wipe her mother's memory because her mother was angry because she'd empathised with an angry neighbour (who was angry because she was an alien...) .. well i didn't know it meant ALL of it, I thought it would just make her forget the conversation or something, help her feel better. After a few hours nap and a few hours swimming, her daughter had to introduce herself to her own mother. NOBODY seems upset though. Aliens are weird.Oh, I've also chosen to try being off-grid. Daughter started off wanting to enjoy beach life as a tourist, but being alien, she can't tan (I changed her to fishing.) None of them (alien mum, daughter, and mersim roomie) can use the phone to get a job, the only one who has a job is the daughter (Doctor) and she keeps wanting to take days off. /)_-)

Aliens are weird.I play with aliens too and was also surprised by this at first. It would be nice if they could just make the other sim forget something that just happened rather than erasing all memory, but I've gotten used to it now.

@CaprianaB I mean i can see the usefulness of it if an alien has ballsed up "first contact" or has been discovered by someone who doesn't really matter all that much except they're now angry.. or if your alien is mischievous or dastardly .. I was just taken aback by the power!Incidentally, whenever I make a new sim and choose the questionnaire option... they're an alien. idk what that says about me. lol.

Well, since I installed DU I discovered that I can’t rotate households unless I

A) Want my presentation board to disappear
B ) Want my Sims to fail their exams despite doing all of their homework
C) The exams to randomly occur while there is still 4-5 days left in my semester
D) The nice surprise of losing all my previous semesters and starting all over again

I learned this the hard way... four times in a row.

@SquirrelTail15 How did your pregnant sim die? :o

Embarrassment. My friend had one die of fire last week, though.

Edited because I can't spell, apparently.

@Peppermix I am currently play testing a life path challenge I wrote that requires rotational play between two households. The rhythm to the to rotation that switches Sunday 8 am is when playing the non uni family, go early Saturday morning and enroll the uni SIMs, go back to the non uni family until Sunday am then switch to the uni SIMs. This way their term is M to F. Marks post Friday evening. I then rotate out Sunday Morning and they sit out school while I am with the other family. Leaving a family at any time during the school term is asking for trouble.

Started with three female Sims. One is an unflirty geek (and a scientist).
Thought she hit it off with a townie named Riya. They are sooo cute together actually.
When I split the original flat/household up (one moving in with Bob Pancakes, her boyfriend and one moving to an apartment), this scientist moved in with Riya.

Fail comes in where Riya has the kleptomaniac (okay, no real biggie) and the unflirty traits. Ever tried to get two unflirty Sims together? Had a lovely summer holiday (kinda based on Fourth of July), but every time I tried some light flirting, instant embarrassment. Luckily they have two seperate bedrooms (made that mistake with a previous couple).

Looking for an excuse to give Riya a retraiting potion to rectify the situation.

Reminds me of the times I've tried to get chummy with Vlad so my sim can get turned to a vampire by him, learn from him, and eventually move into his awesome house with him. But it seemed as if nothing would win him over and could only maintain a bit of green friendliness. Finally I learned he is a Loner, which alone makes things difficult to get to know someone as of course Loner sims get uncomfortable around people they are not friends with. But when you couple that with Uncontrollable Hissing, that makes it nigh impossible to get to be friends with Vlad(as that takes away friendship every time it happens).
Well played, Sims. Well played.

Killed Vlad the vampire after he woohooed my Sim in an observatory outside. Decided to not read and ruined my immediate ugly Legacy plans.

I've literally spent 4 chapters of my Legacy trying to resurrect the guy. UGH. VLAD.

I failed getting into the Secret Society with a sim. It's probably a spoiler
Spoiler
Being under the impression that she needed to befriend the members I did exactly that and then waited night upon night upon night to get abducted just like in Sims 2... Nothing happened. I had seen the option to donate collectables at the statue in the courtyard, but assumed it was for grades only, never made the connection between that and the Society. Now that sim has finished uni and missed her chance.

I thought you could study more than one career
