Today I’m finally trying to transfer a top-level business owned by a Servo to one of my sims (Katrina Loner) whose lifetime want is to own 5 top-level businesses. As soon as they became best friends I assumed it would be possible to click on the deed hanging on the wall and transfer it to Katrina. But the option wasn’t there. So I invited her to move in and then I  could transfer it. Next time I’ll try making sure the relationship is higher than 100/52. Because now I’ll have to move her husband out and back in again so that Katrina is the owner of their home business.

Tips:

• If you can’t find the deed to your business, use the Real Estate\Order deed option on the phone to order one for 15 simoleans. It will then appear in your inventory, and you can hang it on the wall.

• You can’t order a deed or transfer ownership of a home business. You’ll have to have the owner move out to transfer it to another family member. Then the old owner can move back in.

There are many articles to explain how to become a werewolf. See this eHow article
for a quick guide. One tip I didn’t think about was putting a bunch of trees and bushes on the lot to attract the wolf with green/yellow eyes. I’m trying with David, an elder sim, and he has a 99/99 relationship score and still was not ‘nibbled’. So I was wondering if elder sims are too old to become a werewolf. Then I just saw on this ArticleGuide article that the victim sim’s stats (social, comfort, fun, hygiene, and bladder) should be kept low for maximum results. I always keep my Sims’ stats pretty high, so it may be difficult keeping his stats low at the right timing when the wolf comes. I’ll give it a try; I haven’t heard that elders are not able to turn to werewolves. Have you? Hey, robots can turn into vampires, so I’d say it’s possible!

Today one of my sims, David, got hit by a satellite while stargazing on the ground. Almost as soon as he lay down it seemed like he suddenly became a huge ball of fire and smoke. I think I’ve heard of Sims also spontaneously combusting, but after the smoke cleared there was a piece of satellite in his place. Grim reaper was on his way over, so I quickly got his wife Caryl out of bed and pleaded for his life (click on Grim reaper as he has his clipboard out). She won and he was resurrected! The piece of satellite can be sold for 1999 simoleons or put in their inventory. I think I’ll try selling it in a shop, but I don’t think it will be possible. Just another memento in their home.

I tried out the new ‘Invite as Houseguest (3 days)’ option I kept seeing since I installed Bon Voyage. I invited a child ‘Townie’ and he didn’t show up until 10 am the next day. I did some searching, and found that this option appears for the Sims you’ve met on vacation or maybe who live in a different neighborhood. Since they live far away, theoretically it wouldn’t be possible for those Sims to come over for just a short stay, so the option ‘Invite over’ is replaced with the 3-day House guest option. The child sim did not become controllable when he came over, but stayed for the whole day, even when my Sim went to class (this was on a University lot). At the end of the day though, an adult townie came and got him with the usual ‘way past bedtime’ message.
