Okay, I have some questions concerning boolprop and one that isn't exactly about boolprop. I could of spammed the forum but I don't want to. 1. Marisa Bendett died at work and she had no tombstone or urn (meaning she's gone forever) Only the pets remembered her death,is that just because my sims are vampires or is it because she died as a result of boolprop? 2.The Red Glow means furious, but what does the blue glow mean? (occurs only with boolprop) 3. In My Last Sims game, my sim died mysteriously. One day he was there the next he was gone. He wasn't dead, no message appeared plus no tombstone or urn, he wasn't abducted and no he wasn't a teen. I wasn't using boolprop and didn't know it existed. The last moment of his life, his face was gone from the icon. He wasn't a paranormal being, he was just... there. He was completely removed from the family tree and in memories he was replaced with Mystery Sim. 75.202.97.184 15:44, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Oh and another question that just now occured to me is why haven't my sims gotten the platinum mood for the rest of their lifetime? They maxed out all the skills without cheating except for unlocking career rewards to build skills from and maxing all the skills is a memory, but it's like it's not their lifetime want when clearly it is. 75.202.97.184 16:00, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
Alright, let's see here... 1. In what way did boolprop kill her? In all the killings I've done with boolprop (and trust me, there are many), I've never remembered sims not remembering the death - but then again, I've never had a Sim die at work.
2. I have no idea what the blue glow is. After searching for it, the only thing I've found is that it's likely a glitch. I couldn't tell you if it's a result of using boolprop or just a bug in the game. If you reset the sim, does the glow go away (To reset, activate boolprop, shift-click on the Sim, and use the 'force error' option, then click 'reset')?
3. This one has me stumped. Sorry I can't be more of a help here, but that seems really unusual.
4. Hover your mouse over the aspiration bar (the one that shows the level of the sim's aspiration) - a pop-up should occur telling you what that sim's lifetime wish is. If you're sure that their lifetime wish is to max out all skills, then I really don't know.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. LostInRiverview (talk)(blog) 19:05, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
User:Sparrowsong also had problems with the max out 7 skills lifetime want. Maybe it's just a normal glitch? I don't know... Maybe something on mod the sims can help with that. My knowledge sim had the same want and he never got platinum either... I don't care. I just went ahead and got the sim modder and added another lifetime want slot and I am working on that. So yeah just move on and look on the bright side... your sim can reach the top of any career now. By the way Lost In Riverview, Random Deaths of Sims is a negative side affect of leaving the cheats on (it says so in the article) so most likely the anon forgot to turn boolprop OFF. So yeah Marisa was the victim. I don't know if she is gone forever or not so have you checked the lots? And as for the "pets are the only ones who remember her death" maybe it's because vampires live eternally? --TetoKasane 19:56, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
I know no one is going to read this, but I got this from the wiki and it may help with the "mysterious death".

"Death for no reason: Some Sims die for no reason, the "mysterious choking death". This is a bug that has been fixed by patches and in later expansions. It is caused by a mistake in the disease coding." - Sims Wiki. I am assuming that you didn't have later expansion packs, no? I am also assuming that the death for no reason is very rare, and that you were just unlucky to get it. I don't know if you'd get a tombstone or urn with that type of death or the grim reaper or even memories of that type of death because it sounds really glitchy... so I guess that's what happened to your sim and that the error causes your sim to die randomly and be permanently deleted from family tree and memories? Sucks that you can't ressurect him since he probably lost all of his character data. So yeah, live in learn. I wonder if you got a message that he was sick...? --TetoKasane 21:48, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
