Field Trip!

[Leto85]

I've had three field trips so far (the theatre, the police station and the bistro) and so far they've all brought back souvineers. My favourite was this adorable little Bento box from the bistro:



Oh, and I'm so glad I gave the eldest child the Evil trait  . At every trip so far I've been getting these really cute popups from her teacher. "Only adults can use that, Angie." "That's enough Angie, let the nice policeman out of his cell now." "Angie! Put that knife down!"

Hahaha, sounds like a little criminal in spe. I hope you can raise your kids well Ausette. Sim City is counting on you.

Those popups are funny! Sims that aren't evil will also get those popups.

Don't have any children yet for field tripes, but reading this I'm looking forward to it! Reminds me of the time I decided to be the nurse for a school trip and some kid poke me in the eye and we had to call the paramedics to take care of the nurse!

I especially hate it when they are accidentally late for school that day (happens usually in Bridgeport, gah). Then they are the only kid(s) in the whole school!

The 2 kids that went to a filed trip at the graveyard bought me Life Fruit Seeds and a Death Flower Seed. Loved it

Wow! For real? Now I'll be seeking a way to force those field trips, lol.

Not just evil Sims get messages like that. My Good, Friendly and Ambitious younger twin, Regan, got yelled at when she went to the Bistro: "Regan! Put down that knife!"

Know what, my children Sims usually go to the cemetery on field trips. They brought back the creepy poster and two mineral/rocks, one iron and another one got an expensive titanium rock!

Two of my teen Sims went to the Theatre for a field trip-I think they brought back mirrors. I've started to avoid trips now, though, as whenever somebody goes on one, they come back controllable, but invisible and others are unable to interact with them. This isn't just a 'restart the computer' thing either.

Please start a new topic on the Technical Help thread for this.  I haven't heard of this and there may be others who can help.

The items you'll are mentioning are items you only can achieve by field trips?

And with buydebug.

One nice thing about the field trips -- if your teen maxed the xylophone as a toddler and goes on the Theater field trip, he or she gets 3 points in guitar, piano, bass, and drums. I don't know if this is the case for children, too.

Do you mean 3 points on top of the 3 points from maxing the xylophone?

[MarianT]

They come home with 3 points in guitar, 3 in piano, 3 in bass, and 3 in drums -- which is pretty good for an afternoon.

But doesn't the xylophone already give them those 3 skill points?  It's been a while since I uninstalled LN, but I know that completing the xylophone gives them 3 guitar skill points as soon as they're old enough to pick up a guitar and play it.  And I do remember that when I had LN my characters were getting that 3-point head start on the other instruments as well, the first time they picked up the instruments.
