Another question for all of you: if I delete my Plumbot after my Sim got the Pioneer of Plumbotics Legacy Statue, will she lose the title?
.
I don't know the exact answer to your question, but ...
If you just want to remove your Plumbot from your Household, take it to the Bot Emporium and sell it.
That probably won't do anything to your Title.
His friendship meter goes up really fast if you do the Assist with Research opportunities. You could get to best friends without really talking to him more than "checking in" a few times.
I didn't know that, thank you! Unfortunately, I can't do it in the future since I got a nasty "error 12" message every time my Sims return from Oasis Landing. I had to earn The Time Keeper Legacy Statue the hard way then.
Another question for all of you: if I delete my Plumbot after my Sim got the Pioneer of Plumbotics Legacy Statue, will she lose the title?
I don't think she would lose the title, but I've never deleted one, only sold them, and you can sell the plumbot even if you can't go to OL. Plumbot consignment stores work in the present world too.
Thank you both very much! I had forgotten about the Bot Emporium, since I'm pretty straightforward when I decide to remove something or someone from the game: I either use cheats (Shift+left click>Object>Delete it, like I did with Imaginary Friends) or Nraas Master Controller (Force Kill, like I did with a SimBot). Well, I drowned some Sims three years ago (who hasn't? hahahaha), but maybe I'm more patient now lol But I must admit I felt a little sad when my Plumbot waved goodbye to my Sim...
Talking about Imaginary Friends, there's one thing that happened to me and I suppose it's common: they will follow their respective owners even if you move to another town (insufferable, right?). Here's what happened: my Sim couple lived most of their lives in Bridgeport and raised their children there until they became young adults. In order to avoid their children to bring their imaginary friends to life, their father left them at the abandoned warehouse so they would fall into oblivion (or so I thought). After moving to other towns four times, I noticed only recently, while I was removing all the unnecessary things from their inventory, that the imaginary friends were still there!
So here's my tip: if you wish to get rid of these unpleasant toys, make sure to do it for good, or, at least, avoid moving to other towns before the children in your household have become teenagers, otherwise they'll return to the children's inventories.

Another collection (this HAS to be the last one haha): dew from the flowers of Utopian future. As far as I know, there are 11.

Another thing: I would like to share the recolors of the other Service Awards like I did with Award Ribbons and Honor Trophies.
Valor Trophies:
Hero Trophies:
Hero Medals (left) and Epic Hero Medals (right):
Keys to the City
P.S. 1: some awards are missing (there are 8 professions that will receive the Key to the City, for example). I either didn't complete the requirement needed to earn some of them, or my Sim didn't receive the award due to a glitch caused, most of the time, by combined rabbit holes;
P.S. 2: please, don't ask me to which profession corresponds a certain award. After so many adventures, there might have been even an exchange of trophies and medals between my Sims.

And my last contribution to the thread for today: here's the amount of Lifetime Happiness points needed to purchase all the Lifetime Rewards:
Human Sim = 1,415,500
Fairy and Vampire = 1,445,500
Witch and Werewolf = 1,435,500
Horse = 112,000
Cats and Dogs = 113,000

The magical bean bush is bugged. Don't try to eat from it if you have a steel bladder- one of the beans is supposed to make you wet yourself. Steel bladder prevents you from going, and will make you feel like you have to go for th rest of the Sim's life, apparently.

Thank you very much for this information! The Magical Bean Bush is an object about which I've always been curious, but I've always avoided it too as I know Sims can die if they eat a certain bean. Since it's random, you can't be too careful.
A witch can cast a freezing spell on a zombie to switch them back to a normal Sim. The former zombie will run away, claiming they have to return home.
Witches can also kill the zombies by casting a fire spell near them, not on them.
I really appreciate this information too, I didn't know that. I've always made my Sims rush back home after work during a full moon because I fear the consequences of the zombie attack (two of them are witches). I would also like to add that, if you have the Moodlet Manager (yes, I LOVE that object haha), I'm almost sure you can use it to cure a zombie nearby as well.

I took a closer look at some service awards and I've just realized that there is a connection between the color of the ribbons of the Hero Medal and the Epic Hero Medal.
Those are awarded to the Ghost Hunter profession, painted in green just like the Award Ribbon I showed before:
The medals of the Inventor profession (not very much alike, but there is some brownish color in both):
And those for the Medical career, with the same shade of blue:
I was about to end my Sims jouney for some time, but I got so interested in these details that I think I'll try to earn all Service Awards. Hopefully I'll be able to post more comparisons like this soon.

And one last comment, though more like a question: does anyone have any idea of what this is?
It is called "Mon Petit Chateau" and it's located in buydebug as belonging to the Ambitions expansion. It costs 150 simoleons, has a environment bonus of 3 and the description says "It has often been said that really little things are really cute, no matter what it is. This miniature house is no exception."

The set Sim on fire bean, I think is what you're talking about? Just keep a shower nearby.

I think it's a career reward that a level 10 Architectural Designer gets when they complete 15 jobs
Another thing I learned today - you can type "resetsim * " to reset all the sims in your town. I learned this while googling what to do about a save of mine that had slowed down to the point of being almost unplayable. It worked!
Hmm. I read somewhere that specializing in writing romances give you the most simoleons as an author, not the masterpieces.
Well, you're not the only one who has learned something: I've never read anything about the bush, and, were it not for your post, I probably would have never known that there are so many outcomes from eating a jelly bean. I simply thought it was death or nothing at all. We live, we learn
When it comes to writing romances, I beg to differ: one of my Sims has completed all 3 challenges related to the writing skill, and he's a specialist in this genre. Even so, he earns around 7,600 simoleons in royalties per each romance (best seller), whereas each masterpiece yields from 9,000 (hit) to 17,000 (best seller). He has the "Bookworm" trait and the "Acclaimed Author" Lifetime Reward. Anyway, I find it hard that a romance could be more profitable than a masterpiece, since the skill journal itself states that it's the opposite.

I don't remember it giving a moodlet, I think it's just decorative.
I checked and it's just decorative indeed. I put one in my sauna all the same - it seems a fitting place for it

Interesting. I was wondering if it was more because of the time it took for each book, not the actual payout. Like how many masterpieces can be made within the time it takes to make, say, three romances. If only one or two, then romance wins, as you would then make almost double.

I'm sorry, but I fear you are mistaken. The career reward for completing 15 renovations after reaching the top of the Architectural Designer career is the Empirical Building Model, not the Mon Petit Chateau: https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Career_rewards#Empirical_Building_Model
Thanks for your reply anyway!

Doesn't the Nraas mod Overwatch do the same? My knowledge of technical issues is very limited, but I think it resets Sims and pets automatically. All I know is that it finds unroutable Sims, but we might be talking about different issues.

Well, if we address the matter this way, you are certainly right. According to the skill journal, the average number of pages of a romance is 650, while a masterpiece usually has around 2000 pages. I mean to chronometer the time it takes to write each genre, but other things always get in the way. I have to try it one day.

Exactly! It takes so long to write a masterpiece, you can earn more in the same amount of time writing romance books instead.
