:O you mean we can get gnomes back?! I shall have to test this with my own OWBC, who are currently short of a gnome!
I've never played uni as hands-off as you do - I help them gain the skills and then let them do what they like, but your way looks like fun, too! Might have to give it a go sometime :)
Harley's determined to be included, isn't she? I loved the shot of Betta discovering she was going to be a grandma!
The lot debugger worked for me! I was more surprised than anything. lol
I only just started doing Uni hands off because I get so bored with telling them to do the same stuff over and over again. Term paper, study, skill, get out of the hot tub and eat, etc. :P I've also got a mod in place that makes Uni half as long, so in one semester they only go to class once, then the final exam the next day. So my "wants only" approach is way harder because there just isn't TIME. As it is they are making low C's to low B's grade wise. If there was a couple more days of class they would probably be making low B's to low A's without me actually telling them to do anything outside of their wants! Of course I make sure to lock every generic "earn skill" wants. Hell, even just the want to become friends with a professor (which I previously ignored) is locked because that also raises their grade! It's more challenging, but more fun, and a little more realistic because not every student graduates suma cum laude. :P
Thanks so much for your awesome comments, by the way! :3
Looks like Khufu finally broke down :D surprise, surprise. Or not. Anyone would get scared hearing their wife's unnatural howling at the most random moments. And wow, Perch is really hard to please xd Lot debugger also saved my game a few times. Especially when the family I was playing kept spawning clone babies ._.
I had a gnome come back years later, it can still happen!
At least she is a teen with all the passing out, the SW can't take her. I do hope as she gets older she learns to take care of herself since she will be popping out babies...
Lol Betta's face on hearing she's to be a grandma, Harley up to her usual tricks and Khufu pan handling. Such a crazy house.
Perch is family? She probably wants a first kiss. Ah yes nothing better than peace of mind for a bad apple heir. :)
Oh no, not the map at home. Cool Bigfoot, never seen one with an eye patch before.
I'm a huge fan of the lot debugger lately. :P I've had it in my game forever, but it's taken me this long to really figure out how to use it! So I keep one on every lot now and it helps keep things running smoothly.
I'm not sure where or when I got the eye patch accessory, but when I randomize sims in CAS they sometimes where it. Bigfoot is the first NPC or Townie I've had to show up wearing one! I considered that there might be a backstory there, but I really just want to get this challenge done without any plot or side stories bogging it down. >_<
I'm happy about Perch being the heir, she's definitely interesting. At the same time, I'm a little terrified by the thought of a Bad Apple heir. At least you can give her some commands when she's older.
Wow, that's a lot of passing out. I guess living on a tropical island has its downsides!
Again with Harley and the drama! Because of course Harley would cause drama.
Poor Khufu and Perch with all the howling. Of course the werewolves will howl all the time when you'd need them not to...
Hooray for Peace of Mind! Perch is definitely going to need it! That's a clever plan with the eggplant juice, too.
Oh man about the map! It's really annoying when something like that happens. But I'm glad moving Keith in was successful in the end. Almost there with the Monster Mash!
Wow, so you got all your gnomes back! Yay for the base game bonus! I'll have to keep the FFS Lot Debugger in mind for my own OWBC, just in case it might help in such a situation.
I don't know if the lot debugger will fix every missing gnome situation, but it sure worked for me this time! I'm only just now figuring out what all it can fix. I always had it around, but was always to afraid to use it. lol
OMG A WAY TO GET BACK LOST GNOMES!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!!! That is AWESOME! Yay base game bonus!
Your bigfoot is officially the coolest with that eye patch. And LOL at having to fly home to get the map. Totally faster than hoping to dig up the correct one again though.
Yikes on all the aspiration failure going on though! You certainly have a crazy house.
Eggplant juice is a great idea for the Bad Apple! I hope that works out.

on 2016-10-16 12:11 pm (UTC)Um... At least Khufu had the same panel as Perch, so you could figure out what the problem was? But that looks like a painful evening!
I think Peace of Mind was a very good wish for Perch. And smart thinking making sure you had at least one controllable Sim on the lot.
Well, Keith already has the nautical eyepatch! :)
Congratulations on getting the gnomes back! The Debugger is awesome!
Another fun update! :D
