I agree with this. And if they did turn it into an MMORPG, it should be an optional feature. Plus you couldn't have kids because nobody would play them unless there was an option to be a baby at the beginning on the start screen. But who would want to be a motionless infant that does nothing?
I haven't tried smelting in a long time so I have no idea if it's glitched in my game. My sim doesn't often get date phone calls, apparently townies think she's ugly. Lol! But I agree with the omni plant and bill part. My sims have too many of those in their inventories! The bills are caused by a sim in the household if…
I'm not sure because nobody in my town plays Sims except for three of my friends. Maybe it's gaining popularity because 2/3 of my friends who play The Sims just started playing it.
This is not a bug. The death is supposed to resemble death by choking. But, I don't think there is a mod out there just yet. The only fix I can think of is saving before doing the contests.
My sims have been having lots of aliens show up. One out of four of them has level 10 logic. Other than that we have not done anything to increase the chances of an alien showing up. Maybe logic gives you a huge boost?
You can get lights by clicking the front door and selecting the options. I'm not sure if they have a hot chocolate maker, but they have a snow cone maker in buy mode.
Unfortunately, those are the only ways to increase your abduction chances. All you can do now is wait......... or get a mod that increases the chances.
It is worth getting. Weather makes the game so much more realistic! And yes the aliens abduct randomly. Some factors increase the chances. You can get mods to lower the chances or if your sim gets abducted you can use the reset sim cheat.
