I honestly didn't know that after a household moves into a lot, you can still see the lot information from the map, rather than having to go to "Build" mode.
By clicking on: "Lot Detail Panel"
Yup and the smart speaker can even auto order a maid for you if it notices your sim hasn't been cleaning a lot.
Apparently there's a hidden 'thirst' buff. Makes me wonder if it was originally planned to be a need. Same with hand washing when they get this need to wash their hands that probably seems so random.

This is a fantastic way to have a bladder failure quickly.
I have used this method to have it happen faster.
Found this out by accident. A Sim can "Take Photo" while sitting down. Gives a lower angle for the photos.
Granted, the Extreme Sports Enthusiast aspiration does tell you to look for "a kodama or forest spirit", but I always assumed those were two names for the same thing (more precisely, that "kodama" was the Japanese word for "forest spirit"), especially because I kept running into the same one. Today's encounter was sheer coincidence, but very enlightening.
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
You don't even have to leave the lot first. You can select your home (or theirs) as the destination without leaving it.
I've tried that and it wouldn't let me choose it because I was already there. Thats why I tried other ways. But when I went on a date somewhere a sim he was dating would always show up and they would get so mad. This way it's completely private, I finished the aspiration in no time.
Actually, I have done that often. Have the sims on the home lot of the played sim, sometimes both live in the same household, sometimes not. As long as the active played sim is on his/her home lot, just go on a date right there. They don't even change what they were doing prior to the 'dating' event. If there is anyone else on in that lot, they stay there too.
Often useful to get a couple through 'dates' quickly for aspirations.
P.S. Thanks for posting this as something you didn't know. Helpful.
Wait, what?!

P.A.C.E- Positive Attitude Changes Everything
It's written by Guidry in a message in a bottle in Wedding Stories. He said he fell for Temperance's "calcium-rich" sister. Guess that's why they are so flirty when they appear and Temperance is angry.
The pregnancy lasts 3 to 4 days depending on when you do the pregnancy test. If you have your sim do the pregnancy test, the first trimester begins and 24 hours starts ticking from there. If you don't have your sim do a pregnancy test, then they may discover they're pregnant after 24 hours.
So in short, pregnancy test shortens the pregnancy. Without it, it lasts 4 days (96 hours) but with it you can have it last for 3 days (about over 72 hours).
So yes, if your sim tries for baby at 8:00 AM Monday and doesn't do a pregnancy test, they'll give birth on 8:00 AM Friday (if my math is correct).

I didn't know that if you (a household) hires a butler, then that butler is attached to that household. Another household that wants a butler gets a different person as a butler.
Pretty cool actually.
That would be funny! Dumb, but funny!
"Jim O'Connel died of being over-inspired."
You're not kidding. I had a sim hit +24 inspired once. I had a lot of mods and custom traits installed at the time in order to get that high. I think that would be a 'I'm feeling so creative I think I might explode' death. All you'd see is a tiny baby blue mushroom cloud when they died.
