    So, if the Simple Living lot challenge is active and the fridge is empty, will sims starve?

    I also added the teen neighbourhood lot trait to every lot in Newcrest hoping much-needed teens would be generated, but so far, I only see the teens I created.

    @calaprfy try visiting a park- for some reason parks attract teens more than the "teen neighborhood" lot trait does.

    Random question: Does interacting with aliens in disguise--in other words, greeting them, having conversations with them, etc.--increase the chances your Sim will be abducted? Or do you only increase the chances of that happening by doing scientist things and using the observatory?

    Yes, as I remember my "gold digger" widow picked up a townie at the bar one night, he turned out to be an alien. She got abducted later that night. He did spend the night BTW.

    What is the weirdest retail/store idea you've had in TS4 (and implemented it)?

    I had a fizzy juice and flower shop. My sim and his wife ran the store together. The two don't really go together but that was their hobbies so I went with it.

    In my game, giving birth at hospital is bugged. There are no doctors.

    Same! I always thought it was a ghost, which struck me as a little weird.

    @sunblond Thanks for letting me know. One of my Sims is probably headed for a wild ride. He finally broke down and talked to a townie with an obsession for jogging past his house, and she turns out to be an alien in disguise.

    While I'm here, how about two more questions?

    I've been on a Sim-making kick lately. I've made single Sims, family Sims, good-looking Sims, homely Sims. Lots of Sims. It's been lots of fun to add all kinds of diversity to my Simworld. I've moved some of these Sims into vacant houses, and when I do, I often go into CAS and cheat some of their skills up. A self-sufficient Young Adult Sim seems more realistic to me when they have the ability to do *something* with more than base level abilities. Most of them have a hobby or two.

    If I save them to my Gallery after I raise their skills, will they have these skills if I import them into another game? (I hope the answer is yes!)

    Question two is somewhat related. Is it possible for me to put a Sim into a game with "Not In World" status? I'd enjoy seeing my creations wandering around, without always having to find a house for them. I'm envisioning a "recurring character" like Lana McKinnon, Mayor Whiskers, etc. They always turn up in my saves. I could probably work through the answer to this one, and I might do it anyway.

    Thanks, in advance.

    Petey Plays It came up with 6 Creative Cafe Ideas. After watching this, I think I'll remodel one of my cafes. Have others done similar creative cafes in their game?

    I'm not completely sure about your first question re: the gallery, because I don't upload much. You can easily place any Sims you want in the "not in world" category. Move them into a household, then evict them from the household and it will put them out into the world. There are some really talented Sim designers on the gallery. I've downloaded a bunch of beautiful, diverse families and added them into my game this way. I love the variety I get by doing this.

    Thanks, @GirafHuntr. I managed to make that work yesterday, so now a half dozen or so of my Sims are "Not In World." I haven't seen any of them around town yet, though.

    I've downloaded a few from the Gallery, but I have fun (trying to) make them, so I usually get my "characters" that way. I'm slowly becoming happier with how they turn out. The first few were awful; most of them have had makeovers, but one or two are so hilarious that I've left them in their original state.

    @calapry I recently discovered him. Yes, his videos are informative and I've been getting some good ideas as well discovering things I didn't even know

    Have they said pack refreshes will be done for expansions? Or is it only for game packs?
    The Sims has currently lost its identity. Bring it back for TS5
