    I know Kristal, he also demonstrates a lamentable deficiency of appreciation of the delicate nature of those parts of the nasal cavity which are sensible beyond the reach of inquisitive fingers.

    (Am I alone in admiring how cute it is when a sim toddler picks his nose? :rolleyes:)

    While I think that JP has totally missed the boat with his understanding of how the aromatic oils work (it's not poured *into* anything, JP. It's just put nearby so that the aromatic oil's vapors are inhaled), I've had to deal with too many Vicks Vaporub, camphor, eucalyptis, etc decongestant remedy reactions (most particularly asthma but also allergically worsened rhinitis/swollen nose) to feel completely comfortable with them.

    Just one pediatrician's opinion.

    Really? Didn't know there was much of a risk for that. I didn't do it again last night because he seemed to be less stopped up and more (sorry, y'all) free-flowing, and he was still up 1/2 the night. (Fought sleep until a little before midnight, then up again at 3:00, then up again and hungry at 5:30.)


    Thanks for your 2 cents, Kat. I definately value your opinion. ;)

    I suggest napalm, then. There's nothing quite like the lovely aroma of burning napalm.

    None of this, however, is a substitute for the fact that a jammed nose, like a jammed gun, occurs because of failure to clear the build-up of crud. Some people have noses built like an AK-47: No sane amount of crud can clog the works. Others are more like the M-16, finicky when not kept squeaky clean. In all cases, scrubbing with a pipecleaner followed by suction to remove the bits that have been pried loose will clear things up nicely.

    Sorry, JP, but your understanding of anatomy and physiology of the nose is lacking. The major reason noses get congested is *not* the stuff in there, but the swollen membranes. Of course, when the membranes unswell they allow the stuff that is there to be more "free flowing" which might give you the idea that that it's the crud that's blocking it.

    Aren't we all glad that our Sim's noses aren't quite so complicated. ;)

    Meh, a little finger with some nail is a more than adequate alternative.

    And I just noticed that there will only be non-alcoholic drinks? A college party without beer is like... well, a college party without beer. Same thing with Woohoo. What a PG world our sims live in :rolleyes:

    Not if it's your sinuses as well as your nose. Clear noses which can't be breathed through because your sinuses are full of cemented snot = :(.

    That's why you need wire probes, pipecleaners, string, and suction. To remove the crud you pry loose. If you have problems with the passages COLLAPSING, then you need to prop them open using metal rings. Insert them into your nasal passages with the wire probes, then expand the ring to force them to remain open, much like installing supports in a tunnel. I've never had this problem with mine, but if you do, this is what I recommend. If it works for my excavation projects, it will work for your nose!
