Late Night bugs & annoyances
amarynth:
I've been playing new custom-made sims in Bridgeport, with no mods or cc. Here are a few things I've noticed:
Some of the opportunities list building names from Sunset Valley, which cannot be fulfilled. For example, there is no city hall in Bridgeport, just a municipal building, and my sim has gotten several opportunities that require going to city hall. There are no opportunity-related options in the city hall menu, and clicking the button to send the sim to fulfill the opportunity adds the request to his queue, but it immediately drops out.
One of my sims could not go to work (level 6 of the acting career). The car pool would show up, but the action would immediately drop out of his queue. I tried clicking on the car pool and work building with the same results. This lasted for a few days, and he was able to do the side-jobs (such as researching for a role). The only difference that I noticed when he was finally able to go to work was that he had showered before the car pool showed up and changed into his work outfit automatically after his shower, and I don't think that he was changing into his work clothes when he wasn't able to go to work.
One of my sims has been in a band for several sim weeks without getting a single gig. When he first started out, he could play for tips in the park, but since then, he's become a vampire and though he plays for tips for hours in parks and bar/clubs and is at skill level 10, he never gets any tips.
Sims crowd the area between the elevator and doorway at the Plasma club every damn night, and when the club closes, everyone gets stuck and no one can leave.
There was an amusing traffic jam on the street outside of the Plasma club, with nearly every sim in the neighborhood standing outside alternately trying to get celebrities' autographs and pictures or puking because unfriendly vampires were in the crowd. It got so crowded no one could move, they just stood there puking repeatedly. It was kind of awesome.
jezzer:
You can place a City Hall if you want it, or just don't take those opportunities. It's not really an annoyance if you can fix it yourself.
AlexanderMorgan:
Yeah most of your reported glitches i've already read in a review. It seems they are common for the game. They'll either get patched or maybe some can be fixed by Pes - like that problem with going into the school rabbit hole, where everyone got stuck before the entrance. Perhaps the same system can be applied for the elevators. I'm buying the game tomorrow and hope to experience that puking crowd, sounds hilarious!
Roobs:
I can't seem to find the Food Truck parking space anywhere. Using the eyedropper tool won't work either, unless buydebug is on. And even then, it takes me to the "All" sort of "Community Objects" with nothing selected. They also can't seem to be deleted.
Claeric:
I got a crash when I used my Sims 3 Documents folder without changing it. Forcing the game to generate a new one (by deleting or renaming the existing one) fixed it, and I don't quite know why.
The crowds at the elevator are a big buggy, but the elevator DOES hold a lot of sims at once, which is good. I suspect adding a second elevator, or maybe 3, would completely solve the problem, plus speed up traffic. Very satisfied with the elevators and how they can hold a bunch of sims.
Annoyance: Coloring ceiling tiles is a base game thing now, isn't it? What excuse do they have for not coloring the ceilings of ANY buildings? It looks absolutely ridiculous to be inside a club with a style all its own and see these ugly cream white ceilings.
Annoyance 2: My thought bubbles are ENORMOUS, and hte images inside them sometimes clip behind the bubbles depending on the view angle. This one is just horrible! But I suspect it is mod-related.
