Ideas
I have been using Cursed Lot trait on regular residential with small business. Events pop up as expected occassionally, most often Blight. No plants showing blight; they are planted in the new pottery pots. I uproot one (doesn't matter which since they aren't actually marked with "blight) and the uprooting satisfies the event.
I just got Cursed book event for the first time in a long time on the same lot I've been playing a few weeks. I cannot find the book anywhere.
I've had the explosive malfunction and cannot find a broken stove either. Fortunately I was using a spellcaster and had her "zipzap" the stove and then manually repaired it and that completed the event.
These events all need to be revisited as they are not working correctly.
EmilyBlueJaye Did you mean to say Maintenance troubles instead of Cursed?
