I never realized there was a slot on top of the trash bin.

Maybe so you can stack the trash cans in a warehouse. Lol.

I have finally figured out how to make a playable therapist and have an office for him.

In Thalia and Duma Key, I created a psychiatrist (Dr. Freedman, whom I've described before), placed him into a family, made him buy a 'office" (already set up for him) with his funds and have him go there to set it to open all the time.

It has Inge's meeting controller panels and the electrono ticket machine, and when he returns home, I made him into a townie, cleared him off the lot and thus his office is always open for business but I don't have to worry about his clients because only the playables I send there show up.

It's an elegant solution to a scenario I've been working on for a while. It took a while to figure out how to do it without adding a new family in and it works for any community lot should one want one open but not have to look after the owner.

The "lights" are ON in the lot imposters in Downtown in Open for Business. All floors are dark in FreeTime and Mansion. This is true for both lots that I have built on, and ones that I have not.

I discovered I could fufill my teenage dreams of deleting Sims without fear of corruption, thanks to the wonderful April Black on here and YouTube. As a very indecisive player, I'm glad I can finally humanely get rid of unwanted Sims instead of having to murder them on a far away killing lot.

I spent a great deal of time aligning two bookshelves to not intersect the walls and each other. I think they look nice. To my dismay, people would try to pick up books from behind the club chair and stomp the foot. We study hard in the Academy of LeTourneau, even during parties. Now, I set the inner bookshelf to Disabled, and it can stay there without causing trouble.

It is possible to Disable objects not to be used for any reason. Like when visitors come and do silly things.

Disabled is how items for sale or people in faded rooms are.

I only learnt a couple of years ago that if you buy one of the Solar Panels or the wind Windmill it will generate income. If you have a small lot then the amount will be more than your bills so you never have to go to the post box to pick up or pay bills. If you have a bigger lot then just add more panels or windmills. The postman still comes but you just get a message telling how much you have made once the bills have been deducted.

You should get him to learn couple's counselling! And he could have the business perk to improve customers' mood. I also think he should buy the ReNuYu-Senso-Orb to offer in case someone wants to come out of therapy with a drastically changed perspective. If he uses the social "Ask... What do you want?" then he might be able to increase a sim's aspiration enough to allow them to safely use it. (It's a shame that outings don't allow you to see the other sim's wants panel, like a date).

That is a thought about the couples counseling, but so far he is treating the mentally distressed. (I have the Traits system in my game-one being "unstable' and the other being 'insane')

But also, I could send couples there to talk to one another for therapy-I'd done something similar with a lot before-two chairs and neither one of them could leave until they got their relationship back up where it should be. It always worked.

Couples therapy is just talking to each other with someone else there to make sure that you don't kill each other. XD It also costs more.
