Apartment Hack: Now For Non-Fat Gwilly People!

<< < (8/22) > >>

toad:
I had something similar happen when I first put in apthack.  Once I pulled all non-MATY hacks it stopped occurring, however I didn't bother to find out which hack was the conflict as I found the motive failure too hilarious. 

I'll go do more testing now that someone else has had the same problem (and also that I might want apthack to do its job...)

Hook:
I just remembered something else from the same lot.  I had another tenant apparently returning from work (he was in his work clothes) who peed the moment he appeared on the lot.  I almost never have unselectable Sims peeing.  It's happened maybe 5 times total since I got the game.  Someone wasn't taking a potty break at work.

My Sim knocked on the door and the femaler Sim peed the moment he walked in.  My Sim influenced her to bathe, and while she was in the shower, fixed some food from her fridge.  After returning from placing his plate on a table somewhere outside (gotta love Sim intelligence) she immediately passed out on the floor.
That should never actually happen, since it's programmed not to drop core motives below a certain minimum. I have not observed this phenomenon in my game at all.

Apparently the only motive she had in the green when he arrived was social.  I thought the apartment hack was supposed to raise the motives based on what was in the apartment.  I don't see any evidence of this happening.

Is this intended behavior?
I notice the sim is selectable. If you have tampered with the sim in any way, you may stop it from being refreshed. I am not able to reproduce your results and your apartment LOOKS intact: Note, however, that motive restoration can only happen when the apartment is grayed out. If you trap a sim in its apartment by invading its space, the crappy EAxis AI will eventually do that.

Hook:
This was the first time I'd ever made this Sim selectable, and the first time I'd ever visited inside her apartment.  I did invite her out once several days before, and had the option to "cheer up".  I did not make her selectable at that time.  When I visited this time, she peed herself and passed out before I ever made her selectable, so two motives were crashed before I ever looked at her stats.

My playable Sim had 4 days left as an adult, so I guess I played him for 25 days, all on the same version of the apartment hack.  I took the hack out, checked to see if it made any difference and there was a reset of some kind.  I got a message about visitors from the apartment come to greet me, and the other tenants' motives were all maxed.  I quit without saving, put the hack back in, and got the same message and tenant motive reset.

I had a roommate for a couple of weeks when the hack was in and had no problems with her motives at all.  That part of the hack seems to be working quite well.  I'd never tried a roommate before that, so I don't know what they're like unhacked.

I think I know what the problem was.

A week or two prior to this visit, I had errors from the apartment resident controller.  I reset the controller something like 40 times and it kept erroring again instantly.  I eventually clicked on delete.  I'm going to guess that without the resident controller, none of the residents were able to green their motives.
