lol!! Chatting and laundry? They'd better ALL marry him - he's a catch!

My scientists in every village are obsessed with the boulder. I HATE the boulder!! Every time I switch villages, I pan straight to it and start hauling everyone back to the research table. I'm glad I can't drop the boulder on *them*, because they'd all be dead! ;-)

Am I correct in assuming that activities like laundry, exercise, and rain dancing don't really affect the game? I'd hate to think that the scientist I won't let do laundry was offending her co-workers by stinking...

I've played The Sims 2 too much - I assumed everything the villagers did had a purpose (like learning a skill or filling a need) at first. Oops!
