No chess match
Kyna:
McCrea, I feel your frustration. I have the same issue.
In my game (legit version installed over the RELOADED version): If the sim is a child, the option is not available on the chessboard. Period. It doesn't matter whether the chessboard is inside, outside or on a comm lot, and it doesn't matter whether the opponent has been greeted or not, has been invited in or not, or is a household member.
This is why I got so frustrated with Brownlustgirl with her ambiguous remarks along the lines of "I guess it was autonomous ..." and "I think it was autonomous ..." instead of stating clearly "this was autonomous behaviour". It turns out that the behaviour in her game was autonomous, so she can't tell us whether the option was there when she clicked on the chessboard with the child selected (since she didn't click on the chessboard). Also, we really didn't need the red herrings she dragged through this thread about wishes maybe being satisfied or maybe they rolled away, when wishes have almost nothing to do with the central issue of this thread.
Czezechael:
I wouldn't imagine that they would allow children to play ranked chess matches, considering the Activity Ghetto that is younger sim age.
I'd actually like to corroborate with the statements that you must invite the ranked opponent in prior to challenging them, cos it's been like that with all my my adult chess players, but you've done that already.
I've never tested it with children, I've just always assumed it was unavailable. I'll have to check, I'm in the retail from RLD boat, too.
McCrea:
At least my frustration was productive. I did get some new codecs reinstalled, and started learning our SIMS camera (still have to learn youtube tho).

Yep, great, I feel much better with your veteran support. That's 3 confirmations, I guess it's PROVEN, lol. :) You understand I couldn't just leave the thread with an questionable "works for me!" post, because it's broken.

If anyone else wants to join the "it works for me in my game, so you must be doing it wrong" group, please supply proof in the form of a pic. Your pic would need to show the simology tab, so that we can see it's definitely a child that is currently selected, as well as (obviously) the option on the chessboard to play the ranked opponent.

In the XML file S3_03B33DDF_00000000_506A9A7E2BB5930C_PlayChessWith_ChessTable%%+UNKN it says:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<base>
<Interaction name="Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.HobbiesSkills.ChessTable+PlayChessWith+Definition" />
<Object name="Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.HobbiesSkills.ChessTable" />

<Disallow DisallowAutonomous="True" DisallowUserDirected="False" DisallowPlayerSim="False" />
<BaseAvailability>
<Age Children="True" Adults="True" Toddlers="False" Teens="True" Elders="True" />
So Children can Play Chess... but!
In S3_03B33DDF_00000000_CC9223D663E67120_ChallengeSimToGameOfChess_ChessTable%%+UNKN it says:

Which means that Children cannot Challenge <Sim> To A Game of Chess.
I've attached a package file. If anyone is interested, could they test it out to see if it indeed enables Children to Challenge a Sim? Possible side effects include the game not recognizing it as a sanctioned ranked chess match, or animation distortions.
