GAMER, JACK OF ALL TRADES

Due to the excessive difficulty of Gamer via Jack of All Trades, we're making it easier. The details are on the wiki, but the summary is:
- No longer need to reach level 4 in Politics or Law Enforcement.
- No longer need to reach level 3 as a grocery store clerk.
- No longer need to reach level 5 Cooking.
- If you don't have Computer Whiz, you can alternatively use Handiness 10 instead of hacking.

ZOMBIE DAY AND BASEMENT TRAVEL

If you haven't lifted Politics, and you have some of your house above ground and some below ground, you MAY travel between the above ground and below ground areas of your house during Zombie hours. You must stay within the 8x8 area, and you cannot linger - you can only be outdoors while moving from the basement to the upper floors or vice versa.

If you HAVE lifted Politics, then you may not go outside at all during zombie hours, except in your original 8x8 area as above. (In case you haven't finished building your Politics house yet).

Of course if you've lifted Military and Paranormal there are no more zombies, so you may do as you wish.

STYLIST PROFESSION

We were under the impression that painting increased your work performance the same way the drafting table did and have discovered painting doesn't increase performance at all. Only the sketches made on the drafting table will. Therefore if your sim is in the Stylist Profession in an attempt to clear Entertainment, you may purchase the drafting table. You may still only have one until Business is lifted so if you are doing Architect and Stylist at the same time your sims will have to share.

PRESTIGE HUMANS AND SNEAKY SIMS

It turns out that mermaids (like aliens) cannot be identified as such in the relationship panel. Should your prestige human heir accidentally breed with or marry such a Sim, you're still OK - but any heirs must be pure human (must never have had a Hydration or Brain Power need, for example). Mermaid or alien offspring from such a union can still lift a restriction, but they cannot ever be the heir.
