Just found out a really cool tip -you (the player) can turn off your Sims radio and TV without needin their interacton. My sim fell asleep at her party (I know, some party animal huh?) and I noticed both the radio was left on, and someone had turned the TV on.

Not only does this rack up bills, but the sound was distracting hehe. So I clicked on the radio and selected turn off expecting it to wake my sim up. Nope, radio just turned off. I did the same with the TV and again, my sim stayed asleep while the TV was turned off.

This is a MASSIVE improvement over The Sims 2 and very awesome!
