Responding as a semi-nerd, and a mod (but not a MPSIMS mod), I’m not aware of a way to keep them directly linked. Of course, as a poster, you can always do a link to the inspirational thread, thusly:

> Ms. Napier’s 12 year old Toyota RAV4 broke down yesterday. One moment cruising down the highway at speed, then a loud noise, then major clattering noise and immediate total loss of engine power. Pulled over to shoulder, tried to start it and it turned over fine but never caught. Nothing visibly out of place in quick looks under hood and below car. Electrical accessories fine. No smoke or smells. Over the next 20 minutes a small puddle of coolant slowly gathered, but it wasn’t visible immediately…

Which is probably enough since we’re so close to the top anyway!

Anyway, the cat looked pretty well behaved through all that, and is probably piiiiiiised that they didn’t get the glorious rewards they rightfully earned for doing their “trick” for some heartless owners/operators.

Justice for the cat!
