If I use the NRaas Woohooer mod and make sims a Professional and member of Rendevous and then add those sims to another lot to they retain these roles as inactives.

+1 to the team ... who needs Sims 4 when you have Sims 3 + NRaas.

TBH: I am trying to work out if there any advantage to have the weather turned on other than to make the Sims wet and cold.

Ok ... it gets worse ... LOL ... I just discovered I need to use traveler and go to other worlds to get tourists to come from there as well. So instead of getting variety via adding multiple custom sims on my world I can now simply travel to other worlds and bring them to me.

OK ... I'll try that and add retuner to my game.

It is weird, but I can have butlers, but they often leave and never come back.

I never get a maid (or repairmen) to come to my home, when it has no roads. How do I make it so service NPCs come to my home when they can't use their cars.

<t>I tried one of the graphics enhancement mods that would make the game look really detailed. I tried it and, yes it made the game look amazingly detailed. But then the Sims started to look jagged / uncomplete and it looked horrible, despite the scenery looking amazing. I thought I had a good card ...

Yeah ... I dropped the rewards and removed the lifetime happiness and cash and now they have to all work for a living and lifetime rewards. Much better! Also a new world seems to have fixed the tourist issue.

all I can say is that in this world "Mysterious Island" ... they are not coming. Weird?!?!?
