Things you've only recently discovered about the game

[Paden]

I didn't know that if your sims had an absolutely awesome dream date, that the one invited would leave more than just the dozen roses. I downloaded the original Goth family that MaryH mentioned in another thread and killed off that Bella cause she was made from the Strangetown one and made the real one with her parents, sent her off to college and well, she and Mort hooked up. After inviting him over to her place on a date, she made supper and they also did the wild thang most of the night. The next night, she was awakened by him shouting and when she went downstairs, she found a statue and the dozen roses! Who'da thunk it?!

lol Paden, one time one of my sims had a dream date and my sims date brought by a DJ turntable for one of my popularity sims and another time I got a mirror as a dream date gift for my romantic sim, so I think it may just depend on the aspiration of the sim to determine what your date gives but I have never recieved a gift *and* the dozen of roses..maybe I should have my sim woo-hoo moar

[Paden]

I've also found out what happens when a sim graduates from college. You can throw a party and then they age to adult. I've never gotten one successfully through before, I always got bored with them. This time, I stuck it out and got to see the whole thing. Cool!

I found out that several kids can jump on the bed at the same time. Oh and that pollination tech 9 had children on his own.

if you leave your toddler unattended the go and try to catch butterflys..

I recently found out that YA's can have kids on the uni lots (only with inteen though...). It's funny because they have to write their term papers, go to class and take care of the kids (dont let them go past toddler. The school bus doesn't come)

[DaSpecial1]

I saw a grandma pick up a teddy and talk to her (teenage) grandchild, .  I have so many kids in my game I can't believe I never saw this before.  Also didn't know you could throw food at the home dinner table.  I thought you could only do that when dining out.

I didn't know children could throw food at the dinner table? I thought that animation was only for a couple that was flirting with NL installed? thats a new one on me

Yep .  Happened by accident the other day.   The dad was sitting at the dinner table and I clicked on his daughter and saw the interaction menu.  Then they had a food fight.  Now I'm curious to see if the romance table options are available at home too .

Well that's neat DaSpecial, well heres something I just discovered today and I suppose it may have been because I have NEVER played a very messy sim but I was bored and decided to play the Chomsky household otherwise known as Greg Chomsky from TSLS game in 'Vincents Story' and I noticed that after clicking on the trash can I got the option to "salvage" intrigued I clicked on it and Greg stuck his hand in the trash can and started digging around in it and pulled out a fish net and stuck it in his pocket and gain an additional 5$ I thought that was pretty neat lol

Oh you wouldn't believe the amusement messy and unclean Sims can provide.

...just wait until you see one eat out of a trash can, pee on a bush, veg out on the couch, or even try to pull a snack out of the couch!

[SimGirl20]

lol Jenna I will have to see that I moved Greg's girlfriend Lydia in with him and she has like almost all neatness points and its funny when shes goes into the bathroom after Greg has showered and there be like water all over the floor and the tub will be like black from filth and she'll just throw her hands up in the air and go ERGGGHHH! lol I bet she gets tired of cleaning up after his messy butt

I have yet to try a really messy sim or a completely broke one.   I'll have to one of these days.

Yep romance/play interactions are available at the home dining table too let the fun begin.
