Congratulations on Marrying Me!

The autonomous "Congratulate" interaction seems to do funny or odd things a pretty large fraction of the time. Here's my favorite recent example:


"Way to go marrying me, Darling!"
Georgia Danvers (nee Bendett) autonomously congratulates Jane on her marriage (to Georgia) while my back is turned. Even Jane seems to think this is a little odd; note the outturned palms and vaguely puzzled expression.

(I was distracted because I was so busy getting Joan (eating in the background) ready for her birthday, and getting John and Jean (the other two Danverses in the picture) friendly again after a little Caught Cheating with a Raptor incident, that I neglected John's regular elixir doses, and he unexpectedly age transitioned during dinner. Whoops! But he's a very handsome elder, and even if Jean puts off her own Elderhood long enough to career-transition toward her lifetime want, I don't think they'll have any trouble. But that's all a tangent, and may get its own ton of pictures later. For now this one just tickled my hahabone...)

That's why the links open new pages... once you read the new story, you can close and go right back to the previous one to finish it!

Tx, Ziggles! I don't generally leave my Sims unattended long enough for the autonomous-only interactions to come up (although with the Danvers household now up to seven I might have to trust them more, at least in that lot). Georgia Danvers seems really prone to it, for some reason; during the culmination of the Great Experiment last night she and Jane ran out of interaction queues at one point and Georgia started congratulating Jane on getting a good report card sometime back in her childhood. It was very funny!

Oh yea! When I'm in a good mood, the first thing I think of is "congratulating everyone".

BTW Congratulations to DC for this fine thread and to Ziggles for responding and...

Jean Danvers gets carried away

Two more pictures in the spirit of the one that started this thread (and from the same household, too). Here's Jean Danvers on the day that her daughter Jane's twins grew into children (I don't think I've posted those pictures yet), congratulating her younger daughter Joan (who was visiting from college) on, well, something...


"Um, Mom, maybe you've got me mixed up with your other daughter? I don't have any babies!"
Or I guess Jean could mean "congratulations on having been a baby" rather than "congratulations on having had a baby", but that doesn't really make any sense.

And here's Jean again, during the Headmaster's visit to get the twins into private school (got 43 food points and 50 schmooze points and didn't even need the tour; Jean's having maxed all of her skills has definite advantages), taking a moment to congratulate her daughter's wife Georgia on, well...


"Um, well, wow, thanks Jean, that's um, erh, the salmon was wonderful!"
And it was definitely a "Congratulate", not just a "Chat". Very strange...

Congratulations to all! *8)
