Yes, I found this quest line to be the meanest and more disturbing of all quests I've ever been on in any game!
Especially knowing that many of us don't like our sims being mean to each other (which likely reflects a greater group uncounted for), and then having to be especially hateful in the game, and torturing our sims, that is just cruel to us players.

I didn't like having to complain to Old Arabella, so anybody that complained and got the dislike thing, I made them be nice over and over again until the dislike went away. I was afraid if I DID decide to age up Arabella she would be cranky because of the people who complained all the time. I am about to blow 12 LP to finish the Bingo Hall and the fish-a-thon will finish in 40 minutes. So before Old Arabella leaves, I'm going to have everybody go be nice to her lots of times, since I have a few extra hours and then I'll do the last parts of the quest. Hopefully, if I do decide to age her up, she won't be mean or cranky! I would like her to make quilts though and I want to get her some more cats while she's still working, before she retires and really gets to be Arabella Figg Wish the wardrobe additions came with a coat, a hat and maybe an apron...
I think, therefore, I Sim! (Or I did before they told me to "harvest" them)

I wish I had thought of that! I only had the young Reverend be nice to his Old self. But I did have everyone in town who had been part of the meanness that occurred (both age groups/quests) be nice to each and restore their relationships.

It won't let me quote too many quotes but just wanted to say that I did the same thing. Brought as many as I could,to the park to be nice to old me. Well, that sounds kind of weird but anyway, they were all nice to her. I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this quests story line a bit disturbing.

My Game Center is evilemily207@aol.com or ErMerGerd2213. And as soon as my current teen idol gets his 3lps I'm going to grow him and let you know if I messed up a good thing or if I can make another one lol wish me luck
How many deer did they have to get those kind of results? I have about 20 deer in my park but I may add more if that works better. I haven't updated yet. Don't want to yet till I finish building my second teen idol mansion and make some more LPs. Thanks.

Regarding the mean actions during the questlines, I'm glad I keep one seperate sim for that kind of actions.
He is the most hated sim in town (and in Antoher Sim Town). That way the rest of my sims can all be nice to each other and be friends.

Well I tested 20 deer, a dog and a cat for 10 minutes and got $2222 and 1 LP. It's probably pretty variable.

I know that Microdot has about 70 deer in hers, so in 5 minutes i *could* get about 3LP. thats only if i managed to luck out.
I do know that drops tend to be better in the morning. within 3 hours i easily got about 50K in Simoleans and about 40ish LPs
Rain Deerman had a herd of about twenty on the island. He went to the shelter and picked up a couple stray mutts to help with the herding. They mostly just lay around and play with their lobster. He was doing okay but there were some breeding shenanigans going on and before you know, his herd had doubled to about forty. He's doing much better now. They're starting to be more profitable. If he had about ten dogs and ten cats in the mix, he'd probably be able to afford their feed without his side farming business, but, alas, he's allergic to cats and can barely afford the two lazy mutts and the reindeer, much less several more "designer dogs". He's content with his little eclectic, eccentric little world for now and the occasional visitor who drops by and helps him with his herd.
Wish the wardrobe additions came with a coat, a hat and maybe an apron...
