I'm sorry if this has already been addressed in another post but I couldn't come up with anything in my search.

I'd like to know how common it is to get an email saying that one of your people has been accused of doing something wrong and therefore their career progress is invalid and being reset to the beginning of the current level. I was stunned (and POed) when this just happened but at least the person was only at a lower level (3 I think). I'm worried that it's going to happen at higher career levels and destroy potentially days of work.

As far as I know, all of the events are random.. I'm not sure what the odds are of getting that event, but someone once suggested that if you want to avoid the loss from it you can..



I haven't ever tried this myself, but I'll give it a shot next time I get a bad e-mail message.

It does seem to be random, but as with all random events, luck seems to play into it too. It seems as though the same person gets hit with that email time and time again. I have gotten into the habit of checking my people's progress before opening the email. If they are just barely started (or a Master) I will go ahead and open it. If it takes away progess, it won't take much that way, but if it happens to be the automatic promotion email, they get more benefit from it.

Well, it's now happened to me twice today! Both my adults have lost huge progress.
I'm sorry I don't know how to hide my question in case it's a spoiler but how do I exit the program safely if this happens again? I can't keep losing so much, this is not fun.

I'm sorry about those horrible events OrionsRose If you want to hide spoilers, here's the code you would use:

Now as for avoiding the bad event:

I forgot about that arnie, once again you refreshed my memory! I was staring at my game blankly trying to figure it out myself hehe

Sorry 'bout that, it's been a long time since I frequented these forums! I didn't realize how advanced this place had become in the last year. Thanks for the trick to hiding spoilers.

Thanks for your sympathy and the advice! I can't believe this keeps happening. How immoral my people must be to keep getting accused of improper behavior and theft of information! And here I thought they were such a nice little family.

Yeah, that really is not the best event to keep coming back at your family.. If only we could give our little peeps some salty candy for doing bad things at work

I've only seen it once in my first generation and didn't even think of trying to avoid it >_<

Both of those only work in windowed mode, correct? Lyssaria, have you tried
