Bork List: Freetime Ed.
morriganrant:
Half bork, half annoyance, all EA being stupid and not thinking linking things properly.
Buy a car want is not fulfilled by someone finishing a hobby car. So I'm stuck with "buy a car" when there is already one in the driveway.

The pop-ups instead of phone calls for decaying friendships started with BV - was actually glad of them
Maybe my sims just had no friends then, this is the first I've noticed them. Although, this is a maxis family who aparently had a butt load of family friends\acquaintances before I even played them. This is only the second time I've actually played with a pre-made family, I now remember why I don't do this.

OH DUH!
That's the other bork!
I knew there was one I was forgetting to mention
At least 3 times during gameplay session last night I had sims fill 'major' wants which had been locked - 3,500 to 5,000 pointers. like falling in love with a certain sim, etc. The Wants Fulfill, they get the points for them, but the want doesn't roll over to something else! It just stays there and stays locked! Unlocking it doesn't make it rollover either.
Only way I could get it to roll was either sending them to bed or to another lot.

I finally bulldozed the park that comes with new neighborhood. The two times I sent a sim there, it came up with an error about lot population (?) token. Any way it was some sort of token. The second time, I accidentally clicked delete instead of reset. There was only one sim at the park--the one I was playing. At 11 a.m. he aged just like a pet. I decided that park wasn't necessary.
So what causes the "animation name is empty string" error? Anyone know or have a guess?

Skillbuilding with the Thinking Cap on is becoming exceedingly dangerous. One of my sim-teens with a LTW of maxing out 7 skills just lost one point, EACH time when she wore it. Even with totally maxed out Aspiration :(
This happened to me, too-- twice on the same teen sim. The first time he was in gold aspiration; the second time he was platinum. I'm afraid to let any of my other sims use a Thinking Cap now! Does anyone know if Noodlesoothers are safe?
Also, has anyone else had trouble with the Fingerprint Scanner career reward? I directed one of my sims to use it, and he just stood there holding it (not gaining any skill) until I forced an error and reset him.

I've been following this thread with interest and am wondering if there is any redeeming quality in EP7. Aside from the bugs, EAxis appears to have tripled the irritation factor. It sure doesn't sound very appealing.
Any load time and lag issues?
The loading for FT is much better than BV was. Though, I was just going from one hobby club lot to another one (I think it was the third or forth one I'd been to) and it kept loading and loading and loading so I finally gave up and closed it via task manager.

Not so much borked as an extreme annoyance to be stomped on. The endless cacophony of telephony due to hobby-lot NPCs phoning to say: o hai you wanna join mai club?
Oh god, my phone's been ringing off the hook! It's very irritating, I can't wait to see a hack that squishes that annoyance. And they keep showing up saying "here's your award for being all into our hobbies!" I mean really, how often does that happen in real life? I've never gotten an award for being into film and literature, or gaming and computer or reading or any of that stuff. Though I won a music award, but that was because I played in front of people, not alone in my room. And I know the sims are "vaguely based on real life", but how do hobbies=phone/visitor spam?
