Help: Sim's cell phone not working. WA: latest patch +Awesomemod

(1/2) > >>

mouser:
I have a family of two sims. The first sims cellphone functions normally. The second sim's cellphone button responds (ie: lights up and makes clicking sound) but no menu appears.

I've made other families to test if has something to do with multiple sims but everything I create works fine. The game doesn't throw any errors, and other than that, everything seems to be working.

I was under the impression that the cellphone was one of those "sacrosanct" objects, like the mailbox, that you really had to go out of your way to screw up. I haven't used any console or cheat codes.

Is there an easy flag to find or boolprop to set to get this sims cell service turned back on?

And please forgive me if this has been answered: i've tried searching here with no luck and google turns up so many irrelevant entries (due to cell phone being such a common phrase - along with SIM having a meaning in that context) it's useless for this.

I need to know if you are asking about Sims 3 phones? Boolprop is not used in the Sims 3.

I have never had a problem with the cell phones in Sims 3, from what I read, your sim is borked.

Zazazu:
Definitely talking about Sims 3 since she has WA and Awesomemod. She's probably fallen into the trap of saying "boolprop" for "debug".

On the subject, I've never experienced or heard of any similar issue to this.

mouser:
Talking about Sims 3.  Just using "boolprop" as shorthand for boolean variable.

I haven't been able to find any other cases of it in any forums I've checked...

Maybe my Sim went over her minutes  :o


It's annoying, but as long as it's just a freakish occurrence, it's no big deal. You can pretty much do everything the cell phone is for from a computer I think...   I guess she'll just have to remember to take that laptop around with her.

I suspect you have already answered your own question within your original post.

This tells me that the answer is probably a corrupted sim or household.

Have you tried fixall, or even maybe restsim?

Why even bother using "boolprop" in association with TS3 as there is no requirement to type that in any of the cheat commands, as was the case with TS2, which is what may lead to people getting confused about whether your actually referring to TS2 or 3.
