couple of problems on business lots: household visiting & manager skilling

6. Influence to garden isn't always on the influence pie menu when I think it should be. A sim with lots of influence points gets the option to influence her friend to garden. She doesn't take it, but tries again soon after. The option isn't there. Some time later, it's come back.
Influence to Garden option only appears when there IS something unattended in the garden. Seasons harvestables don't count.

7. Why am I getting a party option for New Year in summer? Alana already had a roof raising New Year party (in winter).
Well, if you live in Australia... :D Holiday Pack was released before Seasons, in any case.

8. Is there anything buggy about gardening badges now? Alana took ages to earn her bronze badge and soon after she's getting a "talk to plants" option. Lo and behold she has acquired a gold gardening badge and no messages. OK I had the speed turned up, but it looked too fast and the lack of messages was suspicious.
Never experienced something like this. "Talk To" should only appear for Sims with Gold badge in Gardening.
cwykes:
You're welcome to hijack - I had the two party options as well and I've checked out the fix too! I hadn't thought about Australia & NZ, but that's a good reason for new year in summer. Surely you should only be able to have 1 a year though!
Something clearly glitchy went on with the garden badge. When I looked at her memories, I find I misread the message I got in game - she got a gold badge straight off, without ever having a bronze or silver. ??? Lets assume it was a 'cwykes type problem' rather than something more. She was a sim from base game I hadn't played in a long time.
New problem/question
8. Borked Food - I have a whole raft of borked food in inventories and fridges and sales display units including some that I'm pretty sure was freshly made on home and cooking hobby lots. I have dontshoot food and it's the latest version....... from March. Has anything come up about borked food since FT? Is there anything special about food made for cooking contests? I assumed it was just 'normal' serving plates in the inventory, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't serve some of those plates.
All three families I've been playing have visited the cooking hobby lot if that's relevant. They are also old base game/OFB problems including the Jaquets and their bakery. They had rafts of borked food in displays and inventories after cooking at home before FT and at home and on the cooking hobby lot. They had so much borked food that I quit without saving!
PS Lord Darcy - thanks for all your item fixes. I've DlL'd the job lot - fyi downloading ikea fixes before you install the ikea stuff pack causes a crash. I had two before I twigged. :-[

I'm beginning to think that FT broke the comfort stuff at some point -- I've noticed that no matter the comfort rating of a chair, a sim's comfort level doesn't rise if they're sitting in the chair sewing. Same chair by a desk or table and their comfort goes up. At the sewing machine, it stays static. Weird.
The craftbenches drain comfort heavily, so the chair is probably only slowing it down.

It seems that dontshootfood doesn't protect food stored in food displays. It only protects food stored in Sim's inventory, and not all of them. After I install a new EP/patch, I find that some of them were shot to hell anyway.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll warn people not to download the fix before they install IKEA pack.

As long as the chair is actually doing something! Maybe we just expected it to do more. I have also felt that there's a bigger motve drain on the FT craft benches than I remember there used to be with OFB craft benches. I played OFB pretty intensively, but of course my memory & observation skills are going/gone. Perhaps it's just that I usually had snapdragons around OFB craft benches.

In that case I have to change my playing style. Continuing to keep food in the inventory is obviously just stupid and running food shops is asking for trouble. GRRRR. I suppose after the last EP/SP when the game is finally stable, I could go back to doing both. ::)
Two more questions and another annoyance....
9. I've had 2 fortune sims on different lots roll wants to get promoted without rolling wants for the missing skills. That never used to happen. Has something changed or is it just me? I wonder if FT assumes that they'll have the Lifetime awards to get promoted without them.
10. My sims aren't rolling badge wants when I'd expect them to. Used to be, you fished and got a want for a bronze. Then when you had the bronze, the silver want would roll. I'm hardly seeing any badge wants and silver is not rolling when bronze has been obtained. Anyone else noticing this or is it 'a cwykes type problem'? I confess that I've updated Pes's hacks, but not the others, though nothing looks relevant. I wondered if it was this WFSanity at work - haven't caught up on all the hack threads.
11. I send an elderly sim to the dresser to put on his outerwear so he doesn't go out in the garden in the snow in his underwear. He gets to the door and changes back into underwear! He looks like a candidate for a care home pratting about in the snow in his underwear. I guess nounneeded coats is deciding it's not cold enough for a coat and changing him back to what he was wearing before. Wrong answer in this case. Maybe I should go find the hack thread later and see if that's been discussed - would be nice if it ignored sims already in their outerwear.
