Seems to me, that some actions are included after many generations have been played.
Recently, for the first time, I have had one of my peeps "Stomping Ants" and Watering the flowers in the pots by the sidewalk.
These two actions have never appeared for me before.
Or is it just me?

they watered the plants by the street?? that's something to look forward to, although i've seen the ant stomping.
i go so bored with the same old same old that i recently started over after a 7 generation family in one of my games.

I haven't had any of my families spontaneously water plants, but the stomping ants was done by one of my first generation family members. That same person seemed to be obsessed with destroying insects. His most frequent random actions seemed to be "Stomping Ants" "Finding Annoying Mosquito" and "Taking Insect Outside" He was also the only person I ever saw "Inspecting the Foundation" so he might have been a bit paranoid.

KNK....I love your signature line....It is soooo true.

I have found that if a person decides on their own to water plants, they usually water either the roses or the potted plants, rather than the flower boxes. In this case, they get the watering can from a random location, usually inside the house or workshop, like under the table or bed, in the laundry room. It is only when I take them to the shed to get the watering can and direct them to water plants that they water the ones in the flower boxes.

"Stomping ants" appeared quite early on in my games, too, but has reappeared only rarely. It's the same with when they decide to water the plants on their own. Obviously, you've got to solve the relevant puzzles before they can do that, though. I think some actions are just chosen infrequently so you need to be lucky to spot them taking place. The most recent "new" action I've seen is "Sorting mail", which I first noticed a couple of days ago. At the end of that action the peep puts a letter in the shredder. Since the shredder only appears in a L3 office, I assume the action only appears once one in bought.

There is also a "shredding documents" action that appears once you have the shredder.

I had one of my mothers spend her entire life shredding. I never praised her for it, and even eventually used the red glove to try to stop her shredding and make her work, but she was determined. She was a lobbyist.

I am roaring with laughter here....Was her nickname "Shredder?"

LOL! No, but they did have a pet turtle! (Not sure if it knew any martial arts though...)
