(Screenshots with a Boss)
Line 40:
 
:::The change is temporary while the sim is visiting, just as with other NPCs. When a person is created, he looks if he's supposed to be "on the job" (set by the caller in the sim's memory) and then fulfils his function, otherwise he acts like a normal person; then he eventually leaves the lot and can be created again. They remain NPCs forever, but the game stops searching for them if they get moved or married into homes. There is no function, except maybe with LUA, to transform a sim from NPC to a person or back, which is why some behavior sticks to married NPCs (Slobs continue to act indecent, for example). -- [[User:J7n|J7n]] ([[User talk:J7n|talk]]) 17:28, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 
:::I tried calling up a Boss in a fresh Pleasantview neighborhood. But I couldn't progress far enough to start the scenario. Here are some screenshots (1 MB files) showing how indignifying the Boss looks in the game.

:::I couldn't get the scenario to start because the boss wouldn't snap into the chopper. He waits until the hour is 17 before arriving to visit. The payphone is my debug object for creating people. When the Boss comes as a walkby, he follows the same rules as a Dining Cheff, Pizza Delivery Person, etc. The chance for one of three bosses to randomly spawn is very low, because the chance for any NPC was somehwnere around 1 in 6 already.
