Is there a problem with the Epic 10th Anniversary Chess Set?

(1/3) > >>

SimDebster:
I am using a house that I downloaded and there is a chess set in it (Epic 10th Anniversary Chess Set).  There are two chairs, but only one of them can be used, which sucks because 2 Sims cannot play together.  I just wanted to know if it is just the chess set in this particular house (meaning the house has a problem) or have any of you come across this, making it an EAxis bug?  I guess that would make it an Epic Fail Chess Set.

There is a problem with chess sets period where one chair will freak out like that. I have no info re: why it happens.  Replacing the chair won't fix it.  Replacing the chess table will.  Until it happens again.

One side of the chess set seems to become irreperably "detached" from any chair next to it - if you try to move table plus chairs as a set, you'll see that only one chair goes with it. Replace the table and you'll be fine... until it happens again.

Zazazu:
I found it's easier to place the chairs so that they truly snap to by setting it up out in the boondocks...in a large open space. Then, move the set by grabbing the chess table and place it. Make sure there is a half-square buffer at the back of each chair, or otherwise they will not seem available to sims.

Gus Smedstad:
That's my experience as well.  With any chess set, not just the specific set you mention, the game is more finicky about how close you put the chairs to the wall.  I found moving the group (chess set and two attached chairs) a half square away from the wall solved the problem.

That's likely true re: space.  But this one dead chair thing is something else - or a further pooching.  Because once it's borked, it's borked.

Mine was in the middle of a room with lots of space, and the Sims had been using it. Then it died. And no chair would become one with that side of the board again for love or money. Replace the board, all is well for a good long time, then borked again.  I've never watched to see what happened pre-borking.
