Mitch is bugged and buggy
BlueSoup:
I moved in a playable Uni Sim in with my Sim, and his college meter won't go any higher than the first level, even though he's got all required skills.
I couldn't see why it was like this, so I used the twojeffs college adjuster and maxed out his meter. I figured it didn't matter anyway, since I wasn't going to send him to his final exam until Bianca was ready and maxed, and I always use the College Rampage to max them out.
This pic was taken after I maxed his meter with the adjuster, and I did check and it was maxed, but next time I looked, it was back like this. Any ideas how to fix this?
ZephyrZodiac:
This is exactly what happened to me on several occasions with the Brights, particularly Jane Stacks. In the end, even with the adjuster bumping them up to 4.0 every semester, I still had to cheat on their final grade to make them graduate Summa cum Laude! (And they worked ten times as hard as Stella Sterling, a pleasure sim, who got her cum Laude with absolutely no problem at all!
I tend now to think that Maxis has deliberately tampered with some of these sims to make this happen, as I moved the Brights to a new house, but nothing worked. As soon as they moved back to Pleasantview, they seemed to get jobs and promotions without any trouble, though.
I got really mad about the whole thing, I don't like cheating per se, but when Maxis cheats, I feel no compunction at cheating too!
jrd:
Are you using a fixed executable ("no cd") perhaps? This seems to be caused by at least one of those files. However some have reported it with the original exe as well (I had it with both a nocd and the original exe + OFB CD in the drive).
Now that I'm using a mini-image to play FFS the bug has gone.
BlueSoup:
I am playing it a Daemon tools thingie (dunno anything about fixed executable though - it's an image of my disk).
Anyway, I am getting so frustrated with it - the application has crashed numerous times now, always when I try to use the College Adjuster on him. I'm going to re-download it, but I wonder if that's the problem - I'm not getting an error report.
Anyway, I've played them through semesters upon semesters now, I figure they would have been Seniors on the verge of graduation now, so I'm just going to cheat them to finish and let them go home.
ZephyrZodiac:
Don't blame you, Blue! And I got the problem and I don't play without the CD! But at least the college Adjuster never crashed the game! funnily enough, though, when I played Mitch (in at least two games) he never had that problem, so it must be an error that affects different Maxis Uni sims for different people!
