Bork List: Freetime Ed.
vikitty:
someone at a non-awesome Sims forum had a theory that the faster motive decay is because the new aspiration points are like "slower hunger decay, slower energy decay," etc etc. I hope that's not true and someone can come up with a fix. I've lost a bunch of sims to starvation running the game in windowed mode.
cyperangel:
A theory over at the boolprop forum, is that motive decay is adjusted depending on how high your sims mood meter is, at the time of the age transition, and then adjusted every wek thereafter.
A really depressed sim would get an added motive decay, whereas for a sim in platinum mood, the motive decay rate would be diminished. Weekly adjustments are then added on top of this, so you get a snowball effect. Thus, unhappy sims are tired, gotta pee, hungry and generally more cranky than usual.
vikitty:
I wouldn't mind the motive decay if my Sims would actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT so they don't starve to death when I'm not paying attention. THAT is what is borked and pissing me off. >:(
Deviancy:
I installed free time tonight..
I didn't take out all of my hacks though because I'm mental.
I took out inteeniator because I know that one stops working each time a new expansion comes out.
I left in...
Antiredundancy
no-jealousy2
Perfect Gardens
Thomas Riordan's Naked Massage
Crammyboys naked thingee.. I got the one that was updated for BV..
XXXsims2 woohoo
sofa-hack1h
Do I need antiredundancy still? I left it in after I installed the BV patch, the patch supposedly fixed that issue didn't it?
I tested the game for about an hour, so I have awhile to go before I can say I totally tested it.
So far one bug I found is kind of odd..
Adults can birdwatch, they get out their ol binoculars and they go do their thing. The teens on the other hand, they go off to birdwatch but then they never bust out their binoculars, they just stand there like idiots. I maxed out their motives.. still no go.. boosted their aspiration.. still no go. The hacks I did leave aren't teen specific, so one would think if it was one of the hacks it would affect the adults as well. So I can't figure this one out, they are on a vacation lot though. I'll see if the bug sticks with them when they return home.
The other bug, which may not be a bug, the sewing machine. One of the teens has like 3 or 4 dots filled out on her arts and crafts thing from sewing, but she can still only sew pot holders. Is that the only thing they can sew? Or is something screwed up there as well? Well she can rebuild a car fine.. so thats cool.

...It's also pissing me off as I keep having to rebuild the work/money/school and politics interests to make sure the kids get into private school.
Wait, you're telling me you have to have the right interests to get your kid into private school now? Sure, it's gotten really easy for me now - show him 3 rooms, then whip some sparkly leftovers on 'im, and you're in - but that's just ridiculous.
No it's for the schmooze points which can net you about 60 points in a headmaster scenario meaning if you do a quick tour that's it
Ah, okay, that would make sense. See, I don't even bother chatting him up anymore. And my sims don't actually sit down to eat with him most of the time. One sim just grabs a "serving platter" of something sparkly from the fridge and leaves it on the counter. Then it's Two Bathrooms & a Bedroom, Call for Dinner, and let him go get himself a plate of leftovers to be impressed by. A max-Charisma sim can get 12 Schmooze points just for taking him on the bloody tour and not even bothering to do any actual schmoozing.
