Sims 3 Things you didn't know!

I have nraas hybrid, but I never have this anomaly before.
Also if you add a magic mirror and jelly bean bushes from Supernatural, the customers will interact with them as well.
With NRaas Hybrid, the multiple occult states however they came to be all become playable.

P.S. 1: if you don't see it in your Sim's inventory or receive it through mail, DON'T PANIC (like I did)! The plaque will be placed in your family inventory. I just don't know whether you will get it soon after completing the 100th experiment or just on the other day, when your Sim gets the mail.
P.S. 2: I'm not trying to brag when I share with you some details and screenshots of the trophies and awards. What I want to do is help both new and veteran players in discovering the secrets of the game and show that some objects in The Sims 3 cannot be obtained even via buydebug.
In the first place, the mirror you get from sending your children to a field trip to the Theatre can be used as a normal mirror, i.e. there are the options "Change appearance", "Practice speech", "Gussy up" and "Check self out" when you click on it. On the other hand, the Dazzling Looking Glass - the Career Reward for the Stylist profession - is merely decorative.
Secondly, there are titles for each visa level your Sim has in each destination from World Adventures. Here they are:
China
0 = Stranger
1 = Accepted
2 = Honored
3 = Revered
Egypt
0 = Outsider
1 = Sanctioned Traveler
2 = Endorsed Explorer
3 = Accredited Adventurer
France
0 = Tourist
1 = Vacationist
2 = Seasoned Sightseer
3 = Honorary Citizen
I find this pretty cool, as it gives each travel destination even more personality, don't you think?
I did know that sims with the proper trait can have the wish "Give [sim's name] what for" instead of just fight, but what I didn't know is that they have a small animation when they perform the action of them bouncing on their feet with their fists up (kinda like a boxer but you know... in a silly way lol).
And lastly, I didn't know that in leisure day sims would autonomously go relax in recliners or swim at the pool 🤔.

If memory serves me right, the same can happen with child witches too. This happened to me every 2 or 3 days; at first, I thought it was due to a table lamp on their desk, but it continued to happen even after I sold it. I'm inclined to think that this is a glitch more than a feature though. If only this could happen in real life... I would accept being singed in exchange for finishing my homework faster in old school days lol
Be mindful, though, that the emergencies that will pop up depend on your firefighter level. And, if you pursue the service awards for this profession, remember that certain emergencies happen at a certain level and ONLY at that level (not from that level on): Space-Time Rift at the Science Facility at level 7 for a Hero Trophy; X-Ray Malfunction at the Hospital at level 9 for an Epic Hero Medal; Evil Plot Backfire at the Abandoned Warehouse at level 10 for an Award Ribbon. I haven't tested it for an Angry Gnome Attack, but I believe it works too.
And I won't deny that the disaster at the Science Facility is beautiful:
Fish Kid - Bridgeport has no lots marked as "pool"
Fishing Union - Bridgeport has no lots marked as "fishing spot"
Loved/ManLoved - needs a couple that's going steady, each gender (Bridgeport has one couple like this, but they didn't last long in my game; I guess I didn't test this one in a fresh Bridgeport)
Missing Flamingo1 - needs a fishing spot (flamingo 2 only needs an art gallery, which Bridgeport has, but I assume the fishing spot requirement applies to both, since they're two versions of the same case)
As for other towns, I'm afraid you'll have to research it further or test them one by one. In any case, Sims Wikia has an extremely helpful list of cases of the Investigator career (though I'm not sure if this list is complete): https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Investigator/cases
At first, I was like "what the hell is happening???", but after repairing the broken plumbing objects and set all the lights color back to white, I had to laugh!
For further information, there's an old post about it on this same forum: https://forums.thesims.com/en_us/discussion/580179/that-ford-focus-remote-is-bananas
Oh, it never happened to the kids, so I assumed it was a teen thing because children can't do much with their magic yet. I don't think it's a glitch tho, I believe they might end up burnt because their magic level is still really low so it fails and they end up like that... but who knows, with all the glitches the game has what's yet another one? lol

The music playing during concerts is interesting too, but disappointingly, the symphony just plays tracks from the classical music radio station, or at least it did for as long as I listened.
They can still drown if they are Snorkeling in a Swimming Pool ...
They can Snorkel in the Ocean a whole day without drowning though.
.
I also like to have a gnome or two or flowers to give as gifts to friends around Snowflake day.
But something you didn't know? Well, if you hit Ctrl F you can place triangular tiles. Makes interesting decorating options!
Well, today something curious happened, I had my sim taking a nap on the sofa, then his daughter came out the bathroom and got closer to said sofa. I wasn't really paying attention so I barely saw it, but she had an interaction of what looked like she was going to play with her shark toy when it suddenly got cancelled, she sit down and started crying! I thought she did it on purpose to wake up her dad or something, because she has the evil trait lol, but out of curiosity I went to map view to see the name of the animation thinking it'll be named idle crying or something, then I saw this...
Turns out toddlers cry because they fall! and then, and then, as soon as she started crying her dad woke up and immediately got a wish to snuggle her as if to soothe her, like, the parents know?!
I don't know but I really liked finding out about this, is like one of those details that are always there but so subtle they go unnoticed... or are considered annoying lol

This explains why one of my Sims has drowned in his swimming pool despite having the "Lungs of Steel" Lifetime Reward. It has been some time that they have been in Isla Paradiso, so I forgot they had the "Lungs of Steel" until you mentioned it. But, if you think about it, there is absolute NO SENSE in the fact that they can drown in a swimming pool, but not in the ocean lol Maybe the game developers maintained this type of death knowing that many players like to drown a Sim or two
Luckly, my Sim had some Death Flowers in his inventory.
All of us have aged up a toddler at least once because of their annoying behavior (even without the Evil trait) hahaha
I agree that they often can be irritating; nevertheless, I quite like them in The Sims 3. On the other hand, the toddlers in The Sims 4 are unbearable! People who play with them with long lifespan and don't age them up already have their place in heaven granted!
I didn't understand, however, how you could see this detailed information through the map view. Would you mind expanding on this point? I remember seeing some similar statistics about a Sim in Nraas MasterController, but not in map view.
This is particularly helpful if you want your Sim to advance quickly in his/her career, or if your seek to obtain some Service Awards or Career Rewards (mainly if you don't plan to play this profession for too long).
I believe the person is using the Nraas Tagger mod to show that information. It shows that stuff if you set the options to Enabled (or whatever the wording is).
On to your question, sorry for not elaborating further, but I have installed nraas tagger and in this save I have sim tags enabled. The mod allows you to see some information about sims when you hover the cursor on their tag. The info displayed can be modified to your liking, one of the default options is called Current Interaction, so when sims are doing something, even if it's just an idle animation it shows there. Something curious I've found with this mod is that the interaction of pregnant sims going into labor is called "This should not be seen"

Bahahahaha! Omg, that's awesome!
That seemed so sad and rather extreme for what I knew was really supposed to happen. And his mood was really low too (I think the kiddies wore him out that evening)...but I made it up to him by getting a family to take him in as a resident the next time I saw him on-screen and he's doing much better now.

@Igazor ^Oh my gosh...that's awful!
Love what you did for him and that he started feeling better.
