"Oh non" when the game crashed after Albin and Lys's dream date. He proposed and she said "yes". It was a surprise engagement.

Oh no @Essa- did you lose any game play?

"Oh Gerry, I'm so glad you're back."

When I opened up the McBain's lot about an hour ago, their teenage boy Gerry wasn't there, and I feared the worst.

I shut the game down and checked in SimPE; he had become a townie.

I reopened the game and went back to their lot. I summoned him as a townie using Inge's teleporter painting, and then used it to move him in. He rejoined the family with all his relationships and memories intact. The only changes were his motives -- bladder now half full and all the rest in the green. (When I last saw him his Fun meter was almost red!) And the homework that was lying for him to do disappeared! Gerry certainly wasn't complaining about that! He was now in a very good mood and he happily tidied up the house while the rest of the family slept.

I think I must have turned him into a townie myself, by clicking on the teleporter painting when I was only half awake.

Well, I was worried for a while, but, as they say, "All's well that ends well!" Which, come to think of it, is a play by Wullie Shakespeare. ("William, if you you please, till we're better acquainted," he says.) Who, even though he doesn't live there, is really quite a significant figure in Veronaville!

(NOTE: "Wullie" is a Scots variant of "Willie", familiar short for "WIlliam".)

@simsample
No, just the date at an owned restaurant. I try to save after each worthy event.
After launching the game again, Albin asked her for a date at his place. He didn't have the time for proposal. She left around 2 AM complaining that he didn't care about her enough.
On a side note, she got pregnant after their first date when I was playing her household (I play with silent pregnancy and risky woohoo so I don't know how). She has morning sickness.

Me, just now: "Why are all the hookers hanging out at the gym?"

My husband turns around from whatever MOBA he's playing: "Well, if you think about it, when their profession relies on their looks, it makes sense."

For the record I have 5 escort service sims and two of them showed up at a gym I was taking my active sim to to fulfill a 'get fit' want.

Arnaud Phaneuf invited Coline Bureau-Lagrange on a date at his house.
Me: What?! He was about to cook for you ! when pregnant Coline decided to end the date. She was hungry.
They're engaged and I wanted him to roll the want of getting married. Since he also fears of being left at the altar, I'll deal with it later. Not sure they'll get married before she give birth.

Did I remember to put a sink in that last house I built?

Oh, I'm known within my household for talking to myself while I'm playing games; The Sims is no exception to that rule.

When any of my sims are quite low on hunger and someone else in the household has prepared a meal, some sims will just go to do something else and not eat:

"What are you doing?! You're hungry, go eat!" or "What are you doing?! Are you trying to starve yourself?!"

Or if they 'Stuff Face' instead of eating the full meal:

"What is that going to accomplish? Very little. Eat the spaghetti on the counter."

When a sim complains due to a 'cheap object,' even when that 'cheap object' in question is a dog bowl:

"Why are you complaining? I didn't buy it for you, unless you're wanting to eat from the floor."

When sims complain due to low environment score with there being weeds outside:

"Instead of standing there and complaining, just pick the weeds up!"

Someone kicks over the bin:

"Oh, you suck!"

Other situations:

"John, you idiot!" (Me to John Burb after he set the house on fire)

"Of course they brought Johnny home, it's always Johnny!" (When one of my teenage sims brought Johnny Smith home for the third household in a row)

"You can't do Tank, he has a girlfriend." (Me to Garnet Lothario after I looked at her 'One Sim' for ACR. I set it to none after that)

"Mortimer, calm down, it's just a bed!" (Me to Mortimer's ghost)

"Huh? When did this happen?" (Me loading a different 'hood up after a while)

"Don't smustle by the door!"

"That's not your bed! Get out!"

"I told you to to change the baby's nappy, not dance!"

"Why did you smack him for? He didn't do anything!"

I have more, but I'll leave them for another day. I'm also going to leave out the more 'colourful' things I say, as I doubt that's allowed here.

"Maybe it was a bad idea to put in a hot tub."
During my play session, about five sims got struck by lightning while in there and resulted in one sim's death.

"No, Rachel is not available to talk. She asked you to leave because it's late and she's going to bed. What part of that makes you think she's dying to chat to you as soon as you get home?"

"No, you are NOT going to 'visit campus!' You already have 500 pizzas, we don't need any more stinking up the fraternity, damn it!!!"

"Redundant much?"
When I saw that one townie had the name, John Johnson.

It looks like my apartment housing options just became affordable housing for sims of lower and modest incomes.
Said when I noticed another rental complex got affected by that halved rent Mod I added to my game to fix the way too high rents that were EA defaults and left very poor sims no housing options and made it alomst impossible to move new sims into town.

Akaky Akakievich Bashmachkin would like to know your location

Gerry, please just take it easy and try to relax. Stop worrying about the toddlers. The rest of the family will look after them. You're a good kid Gerry, and your heart's in the right place, but you really are not well just now, and you've got to put yourself first. You've got to look after yourself. Please just relax. If reading helps, then read! Concentrate on your own needs, and try to enjoy yourself. Well, as much as it's possible to enjoy yourself when you've got 'flu! When you start to feel tired, just go back to sleep. The more you take it easy, the sooner you'll start to feel better. Your mum, your dad and your sister will all look after Peni Jo and Peregrine, and see they're all right. And I'll keep an eye on them too. I promise!

OK?

What were you thinking, building a family home, and only putting in a single spiral staircase? That was supposed to be the backstairs off the kitchen option, not the main staircase, you moron.

Why did you think it was a good idea to use a Maxis built house for a legacy family again? It is literally the house of endless routing failures but sure go ahead and stuff the grandparents, new couple, and kids all in there and see how it goes. Idiot.

(All things I said to myself outloud today minus the sweary bits and self inflicted insults.)

Ok this isn't so much as things said while playing but I was walking through the woods with my husband on our semi-daily walks and was musing outloud on what my next project for the game would be and my husband says, "Or you could blow it up" and then cue me giving him the most scathing look and replying, "I've had my sims 2 neighborhood longer than I've known YOU."

Lol, the way I feel about Sims 2 is the way my boyfriend feels about Runescape. We have an understanding that even though I can't understand what's so special about Runescape and he can't understand what's so good about Sims 2 that we can respect the love we have for our nostalgic childhood games.

I can't say that to my husband, we've been married for 28 years! He can't even remember that far back though, so I think he's forgotten that there was a time when The Sims didn't exist...

Wow! Congrats I just came up on 4 years of marriage but have known him for twice that long (2012) however my hood has been in play since 2007.

"I can't believe it took me this long to download SimSplice beer."

The first party I put it in, Sarah Love proposed to Jasmine Rai and Guy Wrightley got in a fistfight with Blossom Moonbeam.

I've never even heard of it.

@sturlington any chance you could link to that? sounds fun!

Sorry, it's SimSlice beer. Typo in my first post. Maybe I've had a beer or two myself this evening.

"Whaddaya mean, Catherine lost a grade by missing school today? Catherine's AT school!"

Not sure what was going on with Catherine Goodie. She couldn't make any calls using the house phone; she'd pick it up, then hang up again. Herbert used the house phone just fine, so I figured maybe it was something to do with Catherine having just bought a cell phone. I had her use that instead and it worked just fine.

The next morning, the bus showed up but Catherine didn't queue up a "go to school" action. I clicked on the bus but got no menu, although the two kids in other apartments were able to use it, so I told Catherine to walk to school. She walked off the corner of the lot and got the "at school" icon on her thumbnail. Then this "missing school" message popped up. I changed her back to Simlogical Flexischool, bought a homework table and had Faith set her some work so she could make up the lost grade - and promptly got a "Catherine's grades are going up" message! Sure enough, she came home on the bus with the teen from upstairs.

I've had the bus not show up on apartment lots many times, but this is the first time it's showed up but the student couldn't board, and the only other time I've had the "lost a grade for missing school" while the Sim was actually at school was when I changed a child from public to private school via Monique's computer after he'd already left for public school. Just to be safe, I think I'll stick to homeschooling Catherine!
