THIS SPACE FOR RENT

Just started a brand-new TS2 Aging game in SV using AMSM (took all other mods out but do have some CC hair and store stuff) and had some weird money problems.  In the past I have had households get random amounts of money for no reason but this time it looks like it took some away.  I started the game with the Goths and played one sim week.  When I left them they had between 20-30k.  The second house I played was the Altos who are friends of the Goths and I caught Vita gossiping that the Goths were dead broke or some such so I went into edit town after the Alto week was up and the Goth house displayed $77.  I was afraid they'd get kicked out so I switched households to give them some money and when I went in the house they had $0.  Even if none of them worked (which was not the case) one week of bills couldn't have been more than what they had so I started checking the rest of the hood.  Nothing seemed off but then I hadn't played any other house and so am not sure exactly how much any of them had.  The only really large amounts were what I would have expected from a marriage move (Gobias to the Langeraks) and the Landgraabs.  The Landgraabs did have 80-90k but I don't know what they started with or how their jobs are going. 

Maybe the Goths decided to pay everyone's bills or something.  I don't remember money ever coming out of the Altos for bills while I was playing them but then the flag was always up from Holly donating to the good and her parents to the evil so maybe I just missed mail day.

I wonder if the lose of funds is related to making donations to the politicians?  In the political career, sims need to secure campaign donations.  I had one of my sims send the Goth's and Alto's flat broke by getting campaign donations from them all the time.  They would usually donate $10,000 at a time, and getting $10,000 off each family member per promotion would eat into their fund pretty quickly.

Non active sims in the political career probably still seek campaign donations to enable them to promote, and with the Goth's and Alto's among the rich list, they probably get hit up more than the others for donations, thus sending them broke.

What is probably needed is something which prevents sims from donating to politicians, and other charities, when their funds drop below a certain level, rather than continuing to give contributions until they go broke.

Just a thought.

[coconnor]

This most likely has nothing to do with AwesomeMod, but could it be perhaps related to RHOG?  In the home I am currently playing there are two refrigerators (both the reward model gained when a Sim has reached the status of "Five Star Chef").  I thought that food did not go bad in this fridge, since it never happened before (and they had these fridges in their old house).  There are no green fumes emitting and no option to "clean out bad food".  But when Sims are directed to "Eat Leftovers" all choices say "spoiled (fill in dish name)".  Also interesting is the fact that there are not the usual thumbnails of the platters.  And I am unable to drag the platters out of the fridge so they can be discarded.  I have tried nuking the refrigerators, just deleting them, etc.  It does not matter since the spoiled food just gets placed into the replacement fridge.  And then the same scenarios ensue.  Any ideas?

Edited to add:  I placed these refrigerators (with the already prepared food platters) into the family inventory before saving the family to the Library in order to move them to a new game.  Maybe this has something to do with it.  But, still, I cannot remove the spoiled food.

Ah ha!  That would explain it.  I know the Altos hit the Goths up every promotion for donation and held a lot of fundraisers.  I guess I just didn't think it actually came out of their "real" funds.  Problem solved.  I better keep an eye on my next politicians. 

I have a fridge problem too but not sure if it is related to coconnors or even AM.  Sometimes when I load up a save leftovers will not show as spoiled until my sim takes them out of the fridge and then it immediately goes bad.  If I manually take the platter out of the fridge the food is fine though.  I don't pay much attention so I am not sure if the food should be bad or not but either way it shouldn't be bad as leftovers and good as a platter on the counter. 

Also, the leftovers going to the fridge is making it so that I can't have guests over for dinner.  I usually just direct my sims to get leftovers but guests can't seem to get a plate before it disappears and won't get leftovers.  Personally I like the food going to the fridge immediately but I can't think of a way to feed guests except the banquet table.  Ideally I guess they should just get leftovers too but they are either too stupid to know how hungry they are or not good enough friends to be that comfortable.

Since the latest AM update my sims no longer get the purple pregnancy icon. I have several pregnant sims, including a couple who got pregnant during gameplay after installing this latest version of AM. None of them got the pregnancy icon. I believe I have seen posts from other folks with this issue.

I have had one derelict vehicle that does not get cleaned up.  It's been there for weeks now despite always updating my awesomemod to the latest.

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

Just reporting to say that I have the latest version (obviously), and I'm still getting the purple pregnant icon.  Inconsistent bug?

Yes, I've always have a couple of derelict vehicles (one belonging to the Wan woman) that refuse to be burninated for some reason.

Issue with Awesomemod 9/26 version:

Stuck at loading screen (right after the movie)

Tried:
- Deleting caches
- Removing all mods but awesome (happens)
- Removing only awesome (fixes issue)

Details:
- Windows 7 x64
- Sims patch 1.4

I'm having a problem with my plates and food disappearing. Sometimes my sims will serve food, sit it down, get a plate, then the rest of it disappears. But every time, they eat the food then when they stand up the plate disappears completely. I deleted my fridge, tried another house, a new town, deleted cache's. Nothing.
I removed all of my mods except for awesome, and the plates didn't disappear.  :-(

Noticed a while ago that 'neat' sims don't do very well on Supreme Commander mode, since they refuse to use a toilet or shower unless it's 'pristine' they end up getting stuck in a loop of trying to use it and cancelling the action.  Kept meaning to mention it...

I've had two pregnancies (same parents). In the first, no pregnancy icon at all. In the second, the icon displayed a very large number, like over 500,000 days, for a couple of sim hours, then settled to 2 days. So it seems to be working normally now. I haven't played very far into the pregnancy, though, so I can't say if it will count down correctly or not. I hope so because if it does it's going to be very useful!

[Tangie]

I have a problem similar to coconnor's. The food in my refrigerators (not the reward frig, though) go bad but there is no green "stink" cloud and no option to clean out frig. I can still drag the putrid/spoiled/whatever plates of food to the simolians square and "sell" them, though. Also, I do not have RHOG enabled and never have.

@amydp: Do you have RHOG enabled? Because I believe it now clears food off the counter and puts it into the refrigerator right away, so you have to direct your sims to eat leftovers. It's a FEATURE, not a bug. Judging from responses, it's not a very popular feature, but AFAIK an intentional one nonetheless.

Oh, and the expecting buff has disappeared in my game, also.

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

The only other bug I'm having besides the non-towing derelict vehicles issue is that I'm having to re-hover over things/icons to read them because the information pop-ups keep vanishing, but I just had to reinstall recently, so I'm unsure if this is due to the latest version of AM or the latest damn patch from EAxis.

Framework install fail.

Noted. Will be fixed in next version.

I think it takes a bit for the icon to initially appear if you have an old legacy icon. I will watch for more failure-to-appear in the moodlet, but so far it has appeared and worked for me.

I noticed today that I don't get the green cloud from spoiled food nor did I have the clean out spoiled food action to choose. I have the 9/26/09 8:34 p.m. update.

Okay, so far that makes three of us.  Hopefully, Pescado can take a look at this as time permits.

What has been happening to my game today is I can no longer direct a sim to "go here".  They won't even teleport anymore.  If I tell them to sit they can do that, but that's about it.
*************

I just checked, they can't do anything they are directed to with the cursor, they can't fish, pick up seed, they can't do anything.  All I can do with them is let them do whatever they want, I can not give them any direction at all.

It SHOULDN'T, but you can run a test and see if it does.

I downloaded the File and it was fine in my game everything worked, try resetworld.

Yup, that was from last night, the new version has fixed the problem.  Thanks for the suggestion though but I won't need it, my sims can fish to their hearts content.

So that's what's happening...I knew it was kind of weird to have all the leftovers completely eaten before expiration.

Just an update: the second pregnancy had the count down, although she gave birth with 4 hours left on the clock. I wonder whether there is anything to be done about this, as I had noticed birth timing is rather random even before the countdown. Third pregnancy did not have a moodlet at all, however.

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

"Real" pregnancies are rather random on the "countdown to the birth," so I would imagine this is meant to be realistic.

I am having an issue with Lifetime Wishes being fulfilled without the Sim actually doing anything to fulfill it. This has happened 3 times now, once with a 6 and twice now with 12. First I thought it was because the mother was a gardener and had all perfect plants and that was the LW of her daughter, who was a 12, as soon as I accepted that LW to have so many perfect plants it fulfilled it for her. The son, who was a 6 at the time, wished for the Perfect Aquarium LW, same as his dad and his dad had just got it. I accept it for him and it fulfills right away. So I was thinking maybe they don't actually have to plant and/or catch the actual items like I thought, but then a 12, the son of the daughter, gets the wish to become a Celebrated Five Star Chef for his LW, or whatever it's called. A few seconds after I accept it for him it fulfills. So either that fambly/hood is screwy or is it a bug?
