Here's something else I've noticed - sims keep autonomously congratulating each other. Most of the time, the speech bubble only has the other sim's picture in it, so it makes it look like they're saying 'HEY, GOOD JOB FOR BEING YOU!'
I had this problem when I first installed BV.
Has anyone tried to put items in the sims inventory? I was going to move a family and was sticking some things in their inventory. I picked up the computer, it will not go in and neither will the sewing machine. I tried on a different sim in the family, who I hadn't put anything into his inventory yet, and still could not. I then grabbed a random bookshelf and that went in fine.

Is the computer still turned on? Then turning it off should solve that problem, at least it did before FT. Perhaps it's similar with the sewing machine - is there any "unfinished project" on it?

I'm pretty sure the computer was off. I know the screen was black. I will poke around with that some more. As for the Sewing machine, I did have a sim clean in up, but I only watched her walk in that direction, so it is a possibility that she maybe did not get to it before something else caught her attention.

You could have easily found out yourself by doing what Kyna suggested, but as I can't find my pointy stick right now:
And you could have easily just mentioned which two hacks in your first response. ;)
My point, which obviously went over your head, was that it may well be that more than those 2 hacks were broken.
Yes, I could have pointed out what I knew about those two, but you may still have problems with some of your other hacks - some of which I haven't heard of so I can't tell you if they need updating for FT or not.
I suppose I could take the time to Google where those hacks are from, then come back and tell you if they need updating. But if you can't be bothered to help yourself, why should I give up my game-playing time to help you?
Precisely. Fracking Entitlement Generation. If you're going to have hacks from several different sources, you'd better have a damned good memory, or sub-folder them. I do a bit of both. Take them out before installing a patch or new EP, and don't put them back in until the creator clears them. Otherwise, your bug reports are completely unreliable.
I can confirm, however, that I'm having difficulty getting a teen to birdwatch. Only tried after 6:00 pm, though, so it may be a timing thing. No errors, just standard queue-dropping.
For your sewing machine issue, the hobby crafting machines work on the same setup as the OFB crafting machines. Enthusiasm is superfluous. Badge gaining seems incredibly slow on the new machines. You cannot sew anything over a pot holder because your sim hasn't yet earned a bronze badge.
KatEnigma:
The higher the enthusiasm, the faster it drops. L&P Guide says Levels 1-4 lose at a rate of 1 (point, magnitude, something?) an hour levels 5-9 lose 2/hour, and level 10 loses 5/hour. :P I actually thought it would be harder to maintain level 10 than it is, though.
Yes, autonomous congratulations for nothing was new with BV. Harmless, but slightly annoying.
My theory behind the need decay was that they've upped the rate to balance out the things that are supposed to slow it down. Like how stores will raise prices and then put things "on sale" BUT, having the bonuses borked entirely would explain how my Fortune Sims (different lots, even), who are supposed to have MOAR LUCK at the chance cards, are answering them wrong every single freaking time. I'm about to break out the chance card tester and set it to always positive. The first one got the same one 3 days in a row, losing each time, before I started to hit ignore, and now it's happening on the new Sim too.
I think some of these annoyances are Eaxis' idiotic way of handling our complaints. Complain that Sims get obsessed with some things (like the hot tub and poker table) and won't move from the spot until they are in needs failure (if then for visitors)? So now we have Sims with ADHD that drop their actions left and right the second any of their needs get the slightest tinge of yellow. Complain that they make food too much? Now they won't make it autonomously. Heck, and I had a toddler badly in need of a bath, and didn't realize because I'm so used to cancelling out the bath option 100 times a session, but no one tried to bathe him autonomously. I think we're getting worse than incompetence with this EP- it's incompetence trying to help us. ::) "Dear EA, Please keep on making the game as crappy as you have before, and we'll let Pes take care of the annoyances. Don't try to help!!!!111 Kthnxbai"
