    @egonVM I can check if they do. I have to go see what damage this patch did to my game (that somehow managed to escape the aging bug). I didn't see any when I was looking at them the other day other than the ones I listed.

    https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/941386/tutorial-turning-your-sims-into-service-npc-no-mods-required

    That's the thread where I found many of the traits. Then I hunted around and added the packs that came after they stopped updating that.

    You can gain romance through Social Bunny even if they aren't interested in your sim's gender. It doesn't help in person though. Savannah is ace.

    Did you Know, one of the funniest jokes on social bunny refers to earlier Sims releases?

    Did You Know?

    Maxis moved the Get To Know Interaction under Likes and Dislikes.

    Yes, because I was freaking out looking for it and after going through all the socials 3 times I finally noticed likes and dislikes and clicked on that. I have to say that I do like that they put all of those socials together like that.

    Maxis moved the Get To Know Interaction under Likes and Dislikes.

    They also moved Ask About Career there as well.

    So then, your sim dropped out or got expelled and now is an adult. What careers are available to them?

    This is the list of careers that aren't available to them:
    • Detective
    • Doctor
    • Scientist
    • Astronaut
    • Business
    • Civil Designer
    • Education
    • Engineer
    • Law
    • Salaryperson
    • Tech Guru

    And this is the list of careers that are available to them (with both branches available):
    • Actor/Actress
    • Athlete
    • Conservationist
    • Criminal
    • Critic
    • Culinary
    • Entertainer
    • Freelancer
    • Gardener
    • Interior Decorator
    • Military
    • Painter
    • Politician
    • Secret Agent
    • Social Media
    • Style Influencer
    • Writer
    • Every part-time job in game

    These sims can still apply to universities. However, they won't get into basic degrees. They can get into distinguished degrees, but if they don't get into any, they can't enroll to university. What's dumb is that even when the sim gets into none of the degrees, it will still be an acceptance letter.

    Fun fact: Completing a university degree gives you access to every career, thus you'll no longer need to get that hs degree online!

    Maxis moved the Get To Know Interaction under Likes and Dislikes.

    I don’t know why they moved things round.

    If Likes and Dislikes are now a category does that mean we’re getting more selections in CAS? At the moment there’s still only colour, music and hobbies. 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

    Now alternating between Sims 2,3 and 4! 😊☕️🌞

    I saw “Get to Know” under friendship today. I don’t use mods or CC.

    It's normally under likes/dislikes.

    Found this out by mistake had put a concession stand on the high school lot near the basketball court. Mostly for looks, but apparently the lunch lady will go and open it after school hours autonomously for awhile.

    There's also Décor with DHD and Fashion with HSY.

    If the whiteboard gets pranked, it looks like teens can't go to that class until it's cleaned off.

    Did you know your Sim can use the ThriftTea shop to buy great Winterfest or Birthday presents for their friends? I didn't really have an interest in the feature as intended but at around Winterfest time I had my legacy founder go to the shop and put together outfits for her three closest friends. When Winterfest came she invited them over and gave each of them their outfits. They all got a thumbs up and it felt more like real gift giving to me.

    Thanks. I was hoping for more base game additions. I do have HSY so fashion will be good.

    Locking additional likes/dislikes to packs is a problem. There’s elements of packs I like but I don’t want the whole thing.

    Graduating early allows teens to enroll in and attend university.

    Does this mean that other teens (npc's) will attend Uni too? Or will my teen sim be the only teen in the dorms among young adults..? :/

    If your Sim has acne upon aging up, the pimples will remain upon young adulthood. There is no option to apply facial cleanser or conceal them either. Maybe its a bug though.

    You might get hate messages from your parents on Social Bunny.

    My Sims mother sent her this message on Social Bunny...I think Social Bunny needs to be fine tuned because the mother and daughter are best friends. :#

    @catloverplayer Personally, I wish I had a Chess Table in RL. Sometimes finding a surface to place the board can be problematic. Especially, if you don't finish the game, quite, before being called to dinner.

    It’s why I turn off notifications and deactivate Social Bunny on every Sim I play.

    It really needs sorting. 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️.

    I only activate Social Bunny for Teens. Their friends still send rude messages, but since I can't avoid them, I'm choosing to play them as lame, teasing messages that are taken as fun by all involved...a "sick burn" that isn't meant to be mean. I'm hoping the system is somehow tuned so only Mean Sims or those with whom your Sim has a negative relationship.

    It seems it's possible for a Sim to have more than one date to the same Prom.

    I accidentally had that happen. My daughter was playing our HSY "test" save while I was doing something around the house. She accepted an invitation from another Sim to go to the Prom. I didn't know she'd made that decision...and the next time I was at the controls, our Sim received the same invitation from another Sim. I said "yes," and only then did I discover Z had already made plans.

    "Umm...Dad, he already had a date..." she told me.
    "Now he's got two. I wonder how this will work?"

    It seemed fine. Sims arrive at Prom in a tangled pile of bodies, the way they spawn at school each morning, so there doesn't seem to be a sense of "arriving with your date." One of his dates won Prom Royalty. He had time to share a Sweetheart Dance with the other girl, but the timer ran out before he could relieve Her Highness from her Royal duties. Both of them joined the gang for After Prom, and there was no drama. Both girls now have Prom Date listed on their Sim profile pages.

    Normally this results in the first prom sim that got asked getting jealous. You were lucky.
