I'm sad to hear that happened to you at Generation 6, Sunshine.
Things like that usually happen to me in my 1st or 2nd Generation. I am being VERY CAREFUL this time so that hopefully that doesn't happen to me. At least not until I hit Generation 3.
Gen 2 is a child and is painting and cooking (on his play stove) up a storm. Would anyone like some Sims 3 muffins?
For future thinking
Is it level 5 that sims in the law enforcement career get their own cruiser?
If they then leave the law enforcement career, is the cruiser taken away from them?
Do self employed jobs count towards Jack of All Trades LTW?
