I faced issue 121 (A Uniform Plan for @@NAME@@'s Students?), which presents options either for enforce school uniforms, or to let the students dress (or stay undressed) however they like.
I selected the latter option (option 2 or 2, for me), and simultaneously had my Nudity go up by 18.2% and the "Prudism" policy instated.
I feel like perhaps that was supposed to be a Prudism removal flag that go set backwards?

While weather is a secondary stat related to several broad factors (both with the issues and your own nation), I can't tell you if this particular change is within the normal range without knowing the issue and option that gave you this result (the date, if not today, is also helpful).

Yes, the effect that you've seen is normal and is related to the stats in the issue causing a secondary effect.
As an aside, weather is a pretty unpredictable stat that we can't influence directly (which has been suggested to be a comment about the unpredictability of weather), so I wouldn't worry too much about your weather changes.

Ok thanks very much.. Was just caught off guard when i saw it listed as going up, but the stat went down. I knew that it was kind of random but didn't know it was random even that way. So i just wanted to make sure. lol
Thanks again.

Often, the described effect has taken place, but other changes to your economy could have affected employment elsewhere.
For example, if you create a load of artificial jobs to employ the homeless, you might also weaken your private sector economy through the public sector taking its market share in certain industries. Your economy might shrink, and your net employment could fall, even though you created the jobs you said you would.

Known bug, I'm afraid. There are a lot of stats that can impact employment, which means it sometimes doesn't behave as you'd expect.
Employment is programmed for a fall, but other economic changes (such as the investors alluded to) in the issue can mean employment may rise.
The OP explains the mechanism:- Why didn't employment rise/fall when it said we were creating / destroying jobs?

New Question (this time, I just want to know the mentality behind this process:)
Issue #1093 That Smarts: "The clever boffins down in Human Resources have been experimenting with the cloning vats, and have realised that by tweaking DNA they can alter cognitive neurotransmitter levels, and create babies that are significantly more or less intelligent than the average."
I chose fallout no.1: "“Oh brave new nation, that has such wonders, innit?” asks Professor Oswald van Gogh, dancing maniacally around a laboratory filled with bubbling multicoloured liquids in complicated glassware. “Let’s use this technologiwotsit to make Frievolk the most cleverest place in the world. Sure, messing around like this might cause neurological cancers to get more commoner, and has had the side effect of making people less gooder at working together, but people need to get more brainsier, don’t they? Braaaaaaaains!”"
And as a result, My Civil Rights fell (not very much, roughly 0.66%), My Crimes rose (4.7%) but my Social Conservatism rose (3.1%).
I have to ask, why?

I chose option 1 to enable adoption, but CR didn't go up.
Is the loss of religious freedom offsetting adoption rights resulting in no CR gain?
Roman-Britannic Empire wrote:OK, sorry to beat a dead rug,
Issue 1095 (I think?), option 3 lowered Civil Rights even though I didn't even think this was a CR issue.
I don't remember all the details, but I think it was something to do with lawns? The local council wanted to force someone to mow the lawn in front of his house, but the house was his and the lawn was not. Option 1 was the man's opinion. Opion 2 forced the guy to mow anything in front of his house.
Option 3 was to make the land lot owned by the homeowner. Then suddenly, I got "grumpy old house owners demand that pedestrians get off their footpaths" Wait what? Did I cede the sidewalk to the homeowners? I can see that lowering CR, but since the option didn't say I was restricting pedestrians, that's an unfair CR trap.
If this is working as intended, let me know and I'd also like to know what all the options do to CR so I can do it right next time.

The option makes it legal to alter people's private property -- their hard-drives -- to prevent file-sharing ("What we need to do is hack their computers and format their hard drives"). This interference with privately owned property limits people's property rights (which is economic). Also, by reinforcing and actually strengthening the ban on file-sharing, the nation is preventing people from enjoying music the way they want.
As you know, when you prevent people from doing what they want to do in NS, freedoms usually go down somewhere.
