Borked exercise stuff?
ElviraGoth:
I've searched high and low and can't find anyone reporting this, so I hope I just missed something somewhere.
With FT, the new exercise bike and barre were fun for pretty much every sim, and they would be used autonomously (sometimes a good thing, sometimes not).
Now, with AL, suddenly they're LOSING fun when sims use them. Even sims with high active. I took out my entire downloads folder and they still lose fun. I just tried it with a sim who has 9 active points and her fun level was dropping on the exercise bike. No hacks at all in, so I know it's not a conflict. And I don't download lots or anything that might have some hacked thing straggling along.
Is this a "feature" of AL and how do I cure it?
Gastfyr:
Wow, I hadn't noticed that. I've had visitors use the ballet bar since installing AL and they didn't leave in fun frustration...thought they were using it because it was fun. I never use the excercise bike anyway, and I havn't used the barre with a playable sim since installing AL. I'll have to try it and pay attention. It's odd, because both of those itmes have a listed fun rating, and, as you said, I've seen sims gain fun from them before AL.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the personality besides active. I know most sims have fun with TV, but I've seen serious sims actually loose fun from watching TV (maybe channel matters; I geneally force them to watch Yummy). I think I'll make a few sims in my testing hood test out those objects and see what happens to thier fun meters.
And just so you know, I'm not a hacker or a modder or even an expert on the Sims2 by any means, I'm just someone who likes to play and help other ppl. I hope some of the real experts will come by and take a look at your thread. I also hope my own testing might also help in solving this mystery for everyone. 8)

I wonder if this is broken much like the Piano was broken back at launch. It's fun for a day and then goes to hell?

Speaking of the piano, anyone else getting the problem where a sim will play for a bit, jump off, jump back on to play some more, jump off?
Even when skillinating they'll go through this endless cycle of playing for a few minutes, slam on the keys, stand up, sit down, play some more, slam the keys...
Back to the regularly scheduled bork, I haven't seen the problem with new exercise equipment, but then I haven't had anyone use them for a while (at least not for long).

There's a fix for that in Pescado's unofficial AL patch here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,12892.0.html
