Effortlessly Maxed Body Skill
croiduire:
I am having a very odd and annoying issue that my game doesn't see as a problem--no lag, no errors, nothing. AFAIK the only hack I have that might be related is syberspunk's gardenfitnessbodyandfunforsome (and djsnochanceofplantsim, but I looked at that in SimPE, and it's just a simple, effective 1KB off switch). Is anyone supporting syberspunk's hacks? My teen was blithely gardening when he suddenly maxed out the body skill, going in an instant from 2 to max. Extremely annoying, since I have skilling set at a very slow rate and like it like that. I kept dragging the bar down, and it continued to shoot right back up. Has anyone else experienced this oddity?

It's the price you pay for using a mod made by a dead guy.

OK, upon further investigation, I realise this has nothing to do with syberspunk, and it's only coincidence that it occurred while my sims were gardening. It's Physiology causing the problem--and yes, to me it is a HUGE bug, not a feature. If I wanted something that shamelessly cheaty I'd just drag the bars up and be done with it. I have re-downloaded Community Lot Skilling and Enthusiasm, just in case it wasn't working properly in my game, but would appreciate some clarification, since the posts I've found have provided different, sometimes conflicting, information. Is studying Physiology supposed to max body skill instantly with no more effort that standing still looking at a soccer ball or bending over to pull a single weed? Is there a way to adjust this to be (1) a boost no larger than the autumn boost and (2) temporary, like the bonuses sims receive when they return from a vacation? If not I suppose I will have to forbid any of them from studying it ever again. *sigh*
J. M. Pescado:
The Physiology bug was fixed ages ago. Patch your game, get latest Shinies.
croiduire:
My game is fully patched (to verify, just in case, I downloaded the most current patch from the EA website and tried). I have most of the AL director's cut. Which Shinies, in particular, are you referring to? Perhaps the basic question is whether Physiology is supposed to work like that? I despise the effect, but that doesn't mean it's not precisely what EA intended--I loathe a lot of what they do.
Also, speaking of shiny and loathing it, where is the code that disables platinum mood? In a separate issue I have a child that randomly, and for no reason, went permaplat. She has achieved only three LTAs and, last I looked, was a comfortable green and playing peek-a-boo with a younger sibling--not the stuff of epic achievement, I would think. Suddenly I get that annoying and fatuous popup that says she has reached all her goals and can die happy...
In SimPE I altered the values under Freetime to a more appropriate level, and removed the token from her memory. Back in Freetime that would have been enough to fix the problem, but not in AL. I repeatedly knocked her aspiration mood down via Merola's mirror to test. Within 5 sim minutes it was right back up. Obviously there is now another value to change, but I have no idea where to look.
