 Yes, I have the rug down. I'm thinking I will switch out the food register for a savvy seller register and put rugs under the items for sale. The residents will also have the rabbithole for buying groceries as well as the produce stand. I'll save the food register for a cafe later on. I might have to disable the wall speaker or get rid of it altogether to keep them from dancing. I'm not sure how I'm going stop them from making out. 😄

Great idea!! You mentioning that made me remember the little grocery store I made with the grocery rug and a chess table and a few others things. 

In the save I had it in I had a grocery store rabbithole downtown, but wanted one right next door to my lot so I could quickly sell my produce. I keep forgetting about the produce cart that comes from the store. lol

Yeah, don't think you can stop the makeout sessions. hehehe

The next installment of Adventureland. This is the "lost episode" because, silly me, I forgot to save my progress and the game crashed. Some fun stuff happened, however, so I wanted to include it. I guess Virginia woke up and it was all a dream.  🙄 (sigh)

You might know this already?  If you have Nraas ErrorTrap, Overwatch, MasterController they will create reports that can be found in: \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3

They looks something similar to this: ScriptError__04-26-2022__02-39-45__2246E7ED.xml  The file also has your computer name in it. Which can be removed if desired, when sharing with Nraas.

You can share them over at Nraas: https://www.nraas.net.  They'll be able to help read the reports and tell you why it's throwing the errors.

If you'd rather just delete them (right-click the file > Delete) that's fine.  Some of them are just correction reports and will say so.

You can also get an idea of how to read the reports yourself from this page:

Here's some information on ErrorTrap:

Thanks for the info. I have looked at the error reports before and tried to make sense of them. I think the problem is I run out of RAM because I play on an old run-of-the-mill laptop - nowhere near a gaming computer. Nraas Master Controller, reset everything seems to have fixed what was causing the problem. The only problem now is there isn't anyone at the food register in the grocery store, which I plan to replace with savvy seller anyway, and no one is at the consignment register. I'm going to wait a couple sim days and see if employees are provided. If not, I will delete the consignment register and try putting it back in.

[MrsFlynn]

I may be wrong on this because I don't play with any story progression on. It's my understanding if you take an NPC away from their register, for example the consignment register and start playing them they get taken away from that role.  I can't remember if they get replaced or not.  The lot or register may need to either be reset or replaced.  Do you have a backup copy of your consignment shop?

[Cheeseweasel]

Yeah, I've done this before in various saves, and a new NPC starts tending the register. It's been awhile, and I can't remember how soon they were replaced. It might take a sim day or two. But if they don't show up, I think replacing the register should do the trick.

The current timeline installment - Virginia relives the day I lost, and a few days beyond.

I love the Sip and Paint party place.  You may not be able to refurbish furniture/decor items, but some electronics can be salvaged.

It works, but not like you might expect. You can for the most part update some of the electronics.  Charred/scratched items are still usable, but will have to pay to replace at full cost. These items can't be repaired and are sometimes worthless. If there's a dumpster on the lot, items from those seem to be in good condition and can be sold.

There's a way to get rid of insults, snubbing and negative actions like that via Nraas Retuner. It's a lot of work, but might be worth looking into if they get too annoying.

Some notes on Nraas Retuner can be found in this post
