I was just wondering which version of suckurom AL had.  I understand that another version with the 5 install max is coming out with Spore and Sims 3, but does AL have the same one as BV and FT?

The reason I ask is that I had no idea of Securom's existence until after I had BV installed for ages (one of the few who's computer continued normally it seems) and my husband knowing my Sims addiction surprised me with a copy of AL.  If old Securom, I'll risk installing.  If new, I'll probably stick it on a shelf and let it collect dust.  Good thing my hubby won't be able to tell that I'm not playing the expansion or not.

I seem to have somehow lost my hack for stopping fridge fiddling. Or maybe it quit working with FT. Are there any such hacks still available. My silly sims seem to prefer juggling bottles from the fridge or swinging the door around to any game, TV, etc..

When you give them free rein, what do your sims choose to do?

Mine, in a well furnished house with plenty of fun items.. gather in the kitchen (usually in front of the sink) or in the bathroom and hold a 'mutual congradulation' party with the occasional dirty joke thrown in.  Or if a child is present, they'll stand around him/her and shuffle over who gets to 'dance together' next.  All this with the 'desperate need' tantrum between their turns.

I've occasionally let them go to see how far they would take it. I've had 4 of them pass out which left the last sim standing to stagger off to bed, several accidents, and in the case of the child trapped with the 'dance together', leave the mortal existance.

So, is this true of most sims or are mine just freaks in desperate need of micromanagement or some of Squinge's 'no autonomous' mods?

Okay, I should have asked this ages ago, but I've been hoping I could figure it out on my own.

When you've bought pet and collar from the pet store, how do you put the collar on the pet? The collar never appears in my inventory.  I've never spotted a option in the pie menu to put the collar on when I click on the pet.  Is this a bug or is something obvious eluding me?

Been lucky so far. Nothing's run away yet.
