Strange Game Occurrences ... You are now entering the Twilight Zone.

Yikes! Talk about your claustrophobic experience, Mac!
How did she manage to get trapped between the two brownstones anyway?

It appears justice prevailed in your game.
It wasn't lookin' good for the cop initially, but in the end, the bad guy got hauled off to the slammer.
I love it when the good guys win and the bad guys get their just reward.   

Looks like your Henry was determined to shoot a game of pool regardless of his paralyzed, bent elbow, Cher!
I hope he won!   

  

I don't know if he won, but I was disturbed by how he stuck the pool cue right through that paralyzed arm! Ouch!

Mac, I've never had a situation where the cop got a second chance at the criminal. Very nice. I don't think I've had the criminal unable to leave, but I did once have the cop stick around for several hours playing chess. My simmies' tax dollars at work, right?

No kidding! That had to hurt!
Talk about your die hard pool shark!

I have been so happy to be playing this past week ... FINALLY!   

My newest Sim family is Donovan & Spartacus Tremaine.
I put the couch and most of the other lvg room furniture at an angle.
More often than not, Donovan & Spartacus tend to walk right through the (angled) sofa.

Last night while I was sleeping, Mr. Morris tried to get just this close!   

You didn't sit on him, I hope?   

Actually... He on me! And he's a big kitty!   

 

Cats tend to park themselves wherever they dang well please, as you know, Mac!   

What do you make of this odd occurrence, folks?
I do not have the Seasons EP installed.
Isn't that the one that brought butterflies to the game?   

Oh my, poor Spartacus!

I thought the butterflies came with Seasons, as well. Maybe it was Free Time? Did smelling the flowers come with Free Time?

OK, since my cases are handy, I looked up with the insert for Free Time had to say. Bug collecting is one of the new hobbies listed, so maybe that's why the butterfly is there.

From SimWiki I learned:

Bug Catching was first introduced in The Sims 2: Seasons, allowing Sims to catch butterflies and fireflies.
The Sims 2: FreeTime allows the catching of bugs and adding them to a collection.
There are three types of bugs a Sim can catch: Beetles, Butterflies and Spiders.

Maybe Freetime DID bring butterflies, too? I need to do more research.
I haven't noticed them much, except around some flowers created by Macarossi @ MTS2.
Weird, huh?
When I had one of my Sims "hunt bugs", she got chased by a swarm of bees in the process.
I forgot how funny that is in game (and a nightmare in reality to old Sugah   ).
Didn't the "smell the flowers" interaction come with Mansion & Gardens SP?
I'm wondering if that's the pack that has Sims shading their eyes when going outside in the sun, too?

Thank you for all of your feedback, Cher!

It really is! Another one that I think is really funny is when there's a fire and I have the sim call the fire department. They make the call and the "report" consists of having a small freak-out into the phone.  

Hahaha! I know, right?
Sims can be such idiots when a fire happens!
They usually don't know enough to leave the kitchen, so the fire fighter can do his job!   

Isn't it the Apartment Life EP that brought the option to study Fire Prevention in the bookshelf?
Upon studying Fire Prevention, Sims are calmer when a fire actually starts.
It is supposed to be easier to get the Sim to move away from the fire, too.
I need to put this into practice, now that I think about it!  

They can also extinguish fires themselves, which is nice.

 

Have you experienced this personally with your Sims, Cher?

Yes, I've told a couple of sims to put out fires. They pull an extinguisher out of .... nowhere .... and have at it. It's much better than having them stand at the edge of the fire and scream. I've seen that one too many times!

I'm going to be on a mission to have all three of my current Tres Lagos residents (Maddie McMew, Karyn Tatum & snacky Donovan Tremaine) study Fire Prevention ... Before another fire occurs, Cher!  

Talk about a pillow you can really sink into ...

Hahaha! Love it, Cher!

  

And thank you for using my walls in your game!
Your support means so much.

It was easy -- they're beautiful! I've had a house like this in mind ever since I downloaded the seaside walls.

Awww!   

Hmmm ... where exactly IS Jack putting that (rather transparent) fish?

Bwahahaha! Too funny, Cher!
I must say, great snapshot!
I love the marina in the backdrop & the water is such a pretty color.
I really wish I were better at creating attractive lots and 'hoods.

  

I am not sure how well anybody can see them, But somehow fireflies spawned in the house and were flying around.

I can see them. It looks like they're flitting around the mouse toy.    I have to say I've never seen indoor fireflies in my game.

That's the first I've seen them spawn inside as well. I am assuming it was just one of those times the game had a hiccup.
