I just found a memory for a student called ‘Became Big Man on Campus’. I’m not sure what that means, but I found a couple discussions (one at http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=279527) that claim it’s based on the number of friends you have, and can appear as a want for popularity sims. My sim had 14 friends/best friends. He’s a senior, about to graduate, and has a 4.0. He lives in a dorm and does not belong to a Greek House. The memory and want icons look like a varsity jacket.

I tried creating my first hotel today in Takemizu Village. I first started by creating a residential lot, then used the cheat ‘changelotzoning hotel’ to change it to a hotel. After creating the hotel, saving and re-entering it, I could not change any of the structure (doors, windows, etc) of the hotel, but I could add other items. I sent an elderly couple off to vacation there, and they could not click on either of the room doors to reserve them. So there must be a special hotel door you must use. I did remember to add the check-in desk, but it’s useless without reservable rooms. Also I didn’t add the phone booth outside, but luckily I added a regular phone on the inside, so they could call to change accommodations. If I’m not able to change the doors in build mode, how will I make my hotel usable??? I’ll have to change the lot zoning back to community first to change the doors I think. I guess you set the price of the room when you use the special hotel room doors, because I never set the price yet.

I just found something out today about the Own 5 Top Level Businesses want. The Sim must have owned the business as it became level 10!! Only then will it count towards the 5. You can’t transfer a business that is already level 10 from a different owner and have it count towards the 5. So I spent all that time building 5 top level businesses in my neighborhood and transfered them to Katrina. But only one of them she actually owned at the time it became level 10. I saw a post that said it actually counts the number of ‘Achieved a top-level business’ memory. So if your business goes back down to 9 and the back up to 10 four more times, you achieve the want. I did this in only a few minutes since her husband, Cleve, has the Sales–Manipulate power which always results in a lost star. Gaining the star back was pretty easy too.  I think this is a fair way to achieve the want, because I really think that transferring an existing business should have counted!

On university lots, there’s always some mascot (dressed in a cow costume) who flirts with someone who’s already in love with someone else! This always causes a ‘Caught cheating’ memory, and the one who was cheated on will become angry at both the cow and his/her loved one.  I guess it’s not that hard to mend things, just takes a little time. But why does this happen and what can we do to prevent it?!?
