If you want to manage the townies with MC, I'd suggest installing Tagger as well. You can enable map tags for all sims in town to show up in map view and can easily find them on the map.

What I've noticed is that sims usually do something in their houses if they were outside before when they chose the action. Also, most - if not all - fires in my worlds are caused by inventors so I'm blaming SP for that since it does the skill/work pushes. :p

For me Retuner shows the option if I enable it to show up on objects.

The sims were Cornelia Goth and Agnes Crumplebottom and they both got the custom part time job at the police station. The one who became a private investigator was a teen though. The only sims who traveled were my two actives and all happened in the evening of the day they returned back home.

Under MC/intermediate/Careers you should find an option to remove previous careers. I've never done it with already retired sims so I'm not sure if it will stop the payments.

I'm a bit confused. I've set SP for a few sims to not assign them jobs (not the "carreer", the SP sim setting) and now, after my actives came back from France, two of them suddenly got a part time carreer. The notifications came up during the late evening/night when usually SP assigned career notifi...

I remember that turning back an apartment lot is rather wonky and kind of a hassle. Not sure if you have to sacrifice a firstborn in the process but you could start with turning the lot into a community lot first (and probably save) before you turn it into a regular home lot then. Sorry I can't give...

Following that link to Cmar's blog, there are six files to download, three of them labeled as default. The other three are safe to install all at once, they just add more skin tone options in CAS but don't alter the existing ones. From the default ones you can only have one, not all of them. You can...

If the meteor happened to her anyway, your sim was lucky to be not at class. I had a teen at school when a meteor hit and the building refused to let her (and all other children and teens of the world) out in time. In fact, after the meteor hit they all had to finish their classes before they left t...

It's a Traveler issue. I've added Register first, as only mod in this setup, and got again just foreign explorers. Removed Register and added Traveler instead and my test sim found herself surrounded by neighbors.
