It has to be done manually, but Inge's Institution Sign does that. Say for the bus or carpool to come or not come.

Brilliant @CaliBrat - Inge did so much great stuff! I'll try it out, never used this one before.

Beside regular, there are hidden scholarships, you can check for details on simpedia (sims wiki). They can be UNLOCKED if sims can perform certain stuff.

I don't think I'd like that. Making money is so easy already... And you can earn money from playing pool. It's BG standard. the option is "Hustle".
I don't think "hustling" chess is a thing, but... i guess there's no real rule against it. Maybe someone could add the "hustle" option to chessboards. I just dont think i'd personally be downloading an object that lets sims skill and earn that much more money at the same time. I absolutely HATE the career reward pinball machine, for that very reason. I'd prefer it if it was JUST a pinball machine, and nobody earned money off it. What kind of pinball machine dumps out money? ...a broken one.

Dont know if anyone before suggested, mentioned such mod...its a mod that allowes you to DICTATE/DECIDE on when the game can spawn npc service sims. Please, let me explain. Say you send sim to a bar and in your storytelling that bar shouldnt be open until 7pm, so the game wouldnt spawn npc service serving drinks until 7pm. Or your sim cant get massage treatment from 5pm to 8am, the game wont spawn masseur npc sim near massage table. In other words, the mod let you decide when serving npc sims can treat your playable sims. Plus, its idea for unowned community lots.

What do you think, simmers?

I tested this out @CaliBrat , thanks for the link! It works wonderfully, but there's no way to select which sim stays at home. I was rather hoping for a way to have the carpool show up for one sim but not the other on a specific day. Kind of like the way you can call in sick, but I just want the sim to book leave without having the car pool turn up for an hour! It's very useful to have though!

Edit:
Well I never, it seems that whoward has made one!

Whoward is just sooooo awesome!

And I was the one who inspired him to make it...Pretty awesome mod. (he even put me in the credits..)

Sorry I did not remember this mod to recommend to you, Sim.

You're not the only one ... I forgot as well ... Whoward deff made/ makes some awesome things that better the game

No worries, @FranH - I can't remember what I did earlier today let alone last year!


I didn't even think to check whoward's site- that's how forgetful I am! He has such a lot of great stuff and is really a helpful person too.
