1001 Things You Wish You'd Known in The Sims

@Brian_Z Agnes is young in TS3, rich, and has useful skills for some challenges. To the point where it's been memed on this forum for nearly a decade now.

Ohhh!  See, I saw "Aggie K" mentioned in very much the same way Deklitch said.  Who?  I only started in TS4, never played the previous games.  So, I googled her, and the results talked about, apparently, her TS2 incarnation, old and bitter and assaulting young people when they flirt where she can see them.  So yeah, rather confusing when people said what a great idea it is to seek her out...

And no wonder she's such an old crank as an elder.  All those sims using her for her wealth and useful skills!

12. That special seeds with a value of $0 (sell from inventory) are either money trees or deathflower seeds. I had planted hundreds of special seeds before I figured that one out. Doh!

Also with the  SwiftGrow Gardening Station from the Stones Throw Greenhouse (Store), you can see which $0 special seeds are which.  Some money tree special seeds are better than simply Normal or Nice. I've had several Excellent and once I got a Perfect seed.

13. If you want to have twins or even better triplets, do not go to the hospital. Have the babies at home and have kids music playing while the mom is in labor. Note: This is a Sims 3 thing. I don't play the others.

 To not rely on a website to save your content, especially if it's not a "first come, first serve" spot. Although, I never learn from these mistakes. 🙄 So many beautiful sims and countless hours of building lots WASTED on poopy algorithms. It's not an in-game issue, I guess, but it's something nice to know.
