Emily? Is that EA's version of Alexa? I won't allow one in my house, so therefore my Sims can't have one, either. Yeah, I'm an Autocrat. ;)

There was a story a while back about a family in the US that had a pet cockatoo, and were signed up with Amazon (and so had the Alexa assistant). Cockies are clever birds, and it wasn't long before the cockatoo started adding shopping list orders for strawberries, farts, eggs and hellos.

Just created a new family for a new save.
I turned of Emily in the CAS part, but let her continue when I moved the family in. The family got 5,000 simoleons free just for following her tutorial for a couple seconds.
My just check on her every once in awhile for any new families to get free money for them.

Like Nessie, her prototype, she appears so seldom there is no need to fuss. Besides, one need to follow a specified procedure to have even a chance of having a sighting.

I upgraded the game and played a saved game. She's everywhere. I've been playing for years so I don't need her to pop up at all. But it is a great tool for new simmers. @Oldeseadogge

I think @Oldeseadogge refers to the sea monster of Windenburg, not the new tutorial sim. What was my first thought, too. I wondered why anybody would be annoyed by the sea serpent :D

You are correct. That is the only Emily I know of in the game. The problem one must have arrived via an update I do not have, nor intend to get.
