I think I may have encountered a glitch in [[The Sims]]: Double Deluxe. I've noticed that one Sim I like to play as ([[Michael Bachelor]]) can't get promoted. Michael has a decent set of skills, about 6 friends and excellent job performance, but is still unable to get one measly promotion. I've tried over several Sim days, but nothing happens. Could somebody please tell me if they also has experienced this glitch or has any knowledge about it.I'd really like some help. It's not super-important but I'd really like to know what causes this crap and how I can remedy it. Note: I'd rather not resort to deleting Michael and creating a new one since this Michael has a circle of friends and more money.

== Retirement money ==
"<span style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">The Sim will keep earning their full pay as an elder until they call in and retire. After this, they will still get some money (exactly 28.5714286% of their salary) at the end of each day in the form of a pension..."</span>
<span style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">''Exactly'' </span><span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:normal;">28.5714286%? Where does this number come from? I find it highly unlikely that programmers would use such a percentage in their code (most of the number is insignificant for the end results!) Besides, retiring a Mad Scientist in the Sims 2 gives them a pension of §499 a day, which is about 49,9% of what they earned as a Mad Scientist over a week. Same for Chief of Staff, §425 a day, about 49,9% of what they used to earn in a week. I get exactly 50% for a retired Business Tycoon. The programmers more likely used a simpler percentage (apparently 50% for the Sims 2) to get a pension and then rounded up or down. Maybe in the Sims 3 and 4 the pay is more dynamic or dependent on traits and bonusses but I doubt their pension is </span><span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:normal;">28.5714286% of what they used to earn! Someone who is more familiar which TS3 and/or TS4 needs to clarify and possibly source this.</span>
