Children. The plural for child is children.

I guess it was autonomous.
You guess it was autonomous? Surely you would know whether it was autonomous or not.
Either you told the sim to play a ranked match (non-autonomous behaviour), or you didn't tell them to play a ranked match and they chose to do so under free will (autonomous behaviour).
I'm getting frustrated here as your answers keep skirting around the issue. I've asked you the same direct question several times now. Could you please give a direct answer, not something vague and uninformative that starts with "I guess ..."
brownlustgirl:
I wrote earlier that I didn't make them play a ranked match, it happened as they were playing. That's why I think it was autonomous. I don't know how to make it more clear.

For what it is worth, I have had a child beat a number of ranked chess opponents without problems. As mentioned by cyperangel you have to invite the person inside (if that is where the chess set is) and then click on the chess board for it to work. If that still fails, try buying another chess set as maybe that one or the chairs with it got borked.

Yes, I typed it to distriguish "The Sims 3 Child (TM)" from "The offsping of parents". I am not talking about the toddler, teen, young adult, adult, or elder with parents. I am talking the child as defined by EAxis, not as defined by English.

Christ. Ok, "what it is worth" is nothing. Your contribution to my problem has been TRY HARDER and U R DOIN IT RONG. We should be more correct and helpful with our posts, or at least entertaining. I am most assuredly pissed off, not entertained. Which is why I have waited a calming day before replying, since it's hard to proofread when I keep putting my head through my monitor. We are at an impasse where I say it doesn't work, you say it does. Let us attempt higher methods of conflict resolutions.
To which, my response is that I am not doing it wrong, and I will continuously try harder until we reach a consensus. You cannot convice me that you are not the one doing it wrong when you state falsehoods and you cannot read (as clarified later). Since you cannot read or state facts very well, I can only assume you may have yourself been doing it wrong, perhaps confusing a child for a teen, since such nuggest have already been mentioned.
To convince the audience I am not doing it wrong, I have considered videos. My first video is not too great a success: the viewer could hopefully see that I do not click "invite" or "greet" or anything before I click "challenge". (So very easy to do, when the sim is not a child.) I will not post the video and hope my word is good enough. However, if I do need to produce it to give evidence that the following (STUPIDPOINT 1) is true, let me know. Further more, I just corrupted my codecs so the lame-ass proof will not appear this hour, and hopefully isn't necessary. I am simply "trying harder."
STUPIDPOINT 1: You do not have to invite or greet the opponent to commence the rated match. If, and only if, the opponent is on the lot, the [third] option to "Challenge Harry Donkey to a game of Chess" will appear on the chess table menu, and the rated match will commence unless the action queue is stomped by path-finding failure or what have you.
Along with that being wrong in the previous post, you also failed to read -- in the very first post -- that I had tried buying new chess sets, which yes, did include chairs. All in all now, please keep in mind I've done this a couple dozen times under various circumstances, and I have never been able to have a child play a rated match.
please consider:
Child is younger than Teen.Rated matches result in a message box that you have won [or loss] a rated match; Match results under the chess skill are not necessarily rated.I speculated that wishes, traits, and other factors are probably irrelevant.
TEST 1: I've had consistent (100% of at least 6) results with:
remove modsstart a new Sunset Valley gameselect the child Mortimer Goth"Visit Central Park""Call Sim / Invite Over Next Ranked Chess Opponent"Jared Frio? "Yes"Jared Frio and Connor Frio will arrive via light blue pickup.click chess table: "Challenge" does not exist == FAILURE
If anyone can slightly adjust those step to produce SUCCESS, please convince me.
Trivial followup steps suggesting it is only an age problem:
Greet or Introduce so he might not leave while aging. (irrelevant, however)Buy cakeBlow candlesWait to be teenClick table "Challenge Jared Frio to a game of Chess" == SUCCESSBest effect when when opponent doesn't leave. No Challenge Possible -- Blow Candles -- Challenge Suddenly Possible. But of course that's just me. And the first guy that replied. Everybody else got the bug free version, I reckon.
