Also, in BHAVs, what are CT-type behaviors? What does CT mean?

Remember, deleting things in buy/build mode doesn't remove anything from your game, just from the lot.

As for usage, look up Run Tree by Name primitive.

Could be pretty much anything. Error log? |
Hmmm, I've never really looked at those because I don't understand them, but I see that they are mentioning the sleeping bag I had on the lot. So, does this mean it's too many iterations can just be stuck in a loop with an object? Is it the fault of the object?
The other really jumpy one is always the Attraction Score error and only happens with others around. She's kinda on permanent vacation. Honestly, she's been pretty screwy since she "accidentally" hooked up with Peter Ottomas. I'd leave her on vacation, but she has an accidental kid, so.... Any ideas what I can do for that?

Anyone else have problems with times stamps here on MTS? My correct time zone is selected, but the forum clock is an hour behind. |
Daylight savings time is screwy. Sometimes you have to set it as on when it should be off to get the correct time.

I've seen too many iterations for the sleeping bag too. Forcing error sometimes fixes it, or sticking it in their inventory and taking it out.
Attraction score - check that the Sim hasn't lost her aspiration (there will be a blank icon). If they did, InSim/Blender/Manipulator or the big globey aspiration reward can fix it.

OMG, @Bulbizarre! You are frackin brilliant! Thank you so much. I had never noticed, but no wonder she was so depressed and anti-social, poor thing had totally lost the will to live!
Is there a way to disable a sim owned restaurant table without actually removing it? |
Do you want it to be decorative (no one uses it, you could clone an object that looks like a table) or you want only the owner to use it (you could maybe disallow visitors from using it)?

How do you guys line up your uni rotations with your neighborhood rotations? Just start playing the uni hood right off the bat? |

If a teen moves out to go to college, I put their rotation next on the list. I've stopped bothering trying to keep the ages of siblings all aligned (even sets of multiples often end up with different ages because they move out at different times of the week); however, if the YA and their parent/s were the only ones in the house, then I will skip the parents' rotations until their college student returned home. I don't want them to lose out on inheriting their parents' house because Grim came for Ma and Pa while their little student was studying away. :P
If there are multiple playable college students in a dorm, then they go through multiple semesters each rotation. I like getting them done in batches and I'm not going to sit there and mess around with who's aging which rotation.

In Drama Acres, which I still think of as my main hood, I play one-day rotations in Drama Acres, Downtown, and Sim State. Sim State is played in between Drama Acres and Downtown, and it is played for three single-day subrotations, with each college household being played for a total of three days. If any sims are on vacation, they get a special vacation subrotation, for which purpose I generally send more than one family on vacation at a time so I can rotate there, too. I have played college from the beginning in Drama Acres, because each of my six core families sent one teen to college the first day of play; but I didn't bring in the Greeks and Bright household until my CAS students had made friends among them, and I only activated student bin families once I started needed additional households for my rotational playstyle. Drama Acres is so big, and I love playing University so much, that I always have playables in college and always play them.
In Strangetown, however, I didn't play LFT until Johnny, Ophelia, and Tank went to college; at which point I started playing the Greeks and the Shifting Paradymes as well. Strangetown rotations are much looser than Drama Acres ones, and I play Strangetown much less consistently, so I tend to alternate - one session in town, playing however many families is comfortable; one session at LFT ditto; back to Strangetown; back to LFT. As the town gets larger and sends more teens to college, I can adjust that on the fly. If I ever have a point at which no college-aged playables will be available, I may put placeholders in the Greeks and not play LFT again until a new playable is ready to go. Or, I may not.
You won't know how you like to play it till you've played it for awhile, so don't get too hung up on getting it right the first time or forcing everything to make sense chronologically. You can always do that with mods and cheats after the fact when something bugs you.

Not at all, I very much dislike Uni gameplay (it's tooo looooooong) and I have enough households as is, so I just use the college adjuster to have my sims take their final exams like 2 hours after they first arrive on campus.
That being said, only very few Sims in my hoods even get to go to college, mostly knowledge Sims, Sims with rich parents or Sims that roll the "Go to Uni" Want on their last day of teenagerhood. in addition the Parents have to fork over 10.000 simoleons for their kid to go to uni. If they don't have that, then no uni for you.

@Orphalesion there are mods that shorten Uni. For all sims, not something you have to set individually. I have mine set for 8 days + 2 days after graduating. |
Yeah you are of course right, but that's still 8 whole Sim days, for something I don't really enjoy playing and can just cut down to two Sim-hours with the College adjuster. In most cases my teens have already all or nearly all skills they need for their degree, so there's no stress with that either.
In any case thanks for the recommendation
