Aww.. it is sad that his buddy died. After the first bird in my game die, I let the sims keep it in their inventory. They play with the bird every chance they get.
Do they live longer in the inventory? I wish I had known about that trick. There's a stray African Grey parrot just behind the house, but I've been holding off on bringing it into the house because I didn't want to see another one die. If we can prevent that by keeping the bird in his inventory, the household just may get a new parrot. If you keep the bird in inventory, do you still have to feed it?
Does Simler have the Supernatural Skeptic trait? I'm impressed that you were able to get so many negative reactions. Also, I'm worried about the future of the library.
Yes, it's the Supernatural Skeptic trait that gives him all those negative interactions with the supernaturals. Combined with his mean-spiritedness, lack of humour, evil nature and whatever other trait I gave him, it's easy to catch him looking nasty.
You're right, Marian. Building and stocking a library is a big project. I went into another game (a town that has a library) to see what it would cost to buy it and came up with the figure of $129,374. Cost of purchasing the art gallery - $233,743 + another $66,237 for upgrades. So we're looking at around $430,000 or so altogether. We're not using cheats for the money or any of the get-rich quick schemes that people have come up with, so Nameless and Mary are a long way from their goal at this point.
And then, of course, we're going to have to deal with the reactions of the Evil ones when they see a library going in. I'm not sure how that is going to play out. Mr Payne better come up with some ideas, because I'm really not sure how to deal with it.
