Okay, not really. Unless warning tags to save a player from their own clumsiness become the order of things.

My sims are on a nice vacation in Monte Vista when I happened to notice that the locals are going to work but not school. Well, we can't have that. Reset all kinds of things, nope no school going except for the teachers. This makes no real difference to my game at all, I'm not very engaged in this world except for occasional vacations, but somehow it became a (brief) obsession to fix this horrible problem. So I tried DE > Fix Homeworld. Ugh, what a mistake. My vacationing sims were the only ones "fixed" and they were suddenly upset that they were missing work and school. Of course, I backed out of that mess right away.

The real problem was that I imported SP's settings along with the others upon arrival from a world where I forgot that I had school summer vacations set and it was indeed summer in MV. Derp.

But my real question isn't how derpy igazor can be, it's what did I actually end up doing by running Fix Homeworld on a vacation world and if it's really bad should there be a warning against doing so someplace? I didn't play through to find out if my sims really did try to go to work/school the next day as it was a Friday afternoon by then and it would have taken a while to get back round to Monday again, but it was bad enough seeing their work schedules appear and the "Missing Work" moodlets on those with the Workaholic trait.

"Fix homeworld" is not a magical fix command. It literally fixes a Sims homeworld value if it is not set to the current world - which is what makes them want to go to work and school.

Which is as I always understood it. I thought it might fix something I perceived to be broken with the local kids/teens before I realized it was just the summer vacation thing doing what it was supposed to. Was not thinking at all about the effect it was going to have on my own visiting sims until I tried it and saw what happened. The gameplay I lost when I said oops and reverted to a prior save was trivial.

So would the warning I suggested be overkill as I would be the only one dopey enough to try invoking this command while not actually in my own sims' homeworld?

That one is entirely up to you. I was just explaining it's actually just a very simple function where as some can take it mean something that does some magical bibby bobby boo on the world.

No magic? Not even a little bibby boo (whatever that is, sounded good) for a friend?

Okay, okay thanks for the explanation. And if I had a way to lock myself out of my own thread I would probably do so at this point before getting into further trouble here.
