The Mysterious Choking Death
ZephyrZodiac:
I certainly didn't intend to imply that Maxis items are ok and downloaded custom stuff isn't! What I actually meant was that, if something in the game is causing the choking death, it seems to me it probably is a Maxis object - and from the original game as well!
ElviraGoth:
lol!
She really DID do extensive research! I don't know if I would have had the patience to go to the extent she did to try and figure out what was causing the pg sims to die. Great job! And that pg death rate! Whoo!
And it didn't seem to matter if it was a Maxis sim or a CAS sim, either. Or what kind of lot. That's the only reason I think that maybe it's some object in the house. Maybe the infamous diagonal wall... I don't use those at all. And the fact that some people reported that their sims died just from saving the lot when a sim was in the first day says to me that it's not the community lot that's causing the problem.
schmoopee, did you save or send the pg sim to a community lot on the first day? And had never done that before? Would like to know it this is something that develops over time in a hood, or if it always happens in a hood from day one.
It seems that most of the bugs I've had didn't start until after I had played a hood for awhile. The only ones that happened right away were the maid/nanny getting stuck on a lot like they lived there and bills not being registered as paid when they were - of course, right after I'd installed Uni. And I didn't even know about any websites except the official one at that time. So my help was pretty much nil.
I'll definitely have to watch for this one. I hate watching my good sims die! Even of old age.
Might have to see if I can make it happen on my comp, just out of curiosity.
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, I do think there's something in the programming that starts to break down after you've been playing for a while! However, for what it's worth, I don't remember either Devine or Beau going to a community lot on the first day, nor do I remember saving while she was in her first day - but it's a long time ago now! - I do think there was a diagonal wall in the house as I think it was one of the Maxis lofts which I'd improved, but I've had sims have babies in houses full of the darn things with no problems! Now, I think she was in her second or last stage when this happened, so I'd probably got them the crib and stuff, since Devine was a fortune sim and had probably demanded them! so whether it's something deliberate and based on the old superstition about buying the pram before the baby's born, I wouldn't like to say, but, well, go figure!
ElviraGoth:
I'm debating about which kind of list to make - Maxis objects with NO bugs, or those WITH bugs. Wonder which one would be shorter?
Just read the thread on the instant meal bug again - will have to get the new and improved lot debugger to see if it will fix another weird bug I've been having! (Not fridge related, but who knows?)
My latest pg bug was a sim who didn't "show" at all. Checked her stats with the InSiminator and she was 48 hours along. Finally had to move her out, move her in to another lot, where she was fully pg and had the baby, then move her back home. Did this when she was the only one home, so (hopefully) no one else has a bad memory of her leaving. Haven't checked that yet.
I'd had that happen with Dina Caliente (I had her marry Beau) and, not thinking, I had her drink Elixer of Life on her first day of being pg. I forgot she had gotten pg. That night, I was going to have them try for a baby, but the option didn't come up. She was pg for about a week before I read somewhere about moving her out, so I did that and she did the same thing - had the baby, had her move back home, Beau and the other kids ran out and hugged her and wouldn't let her OR the baby out of sight! I almost cried!
Last time I played PV that baby was grown up to a YA and away at Uni, and I haven't gone back to them since I started my own hood. Should check on those guys and see how they're doing. I also had an alien baby by abduction that was Alexander Goth's son, and he look like a green-skinned Michael Jackson - down to the teeny weeny nose! Need to get a screenshot of him.
ZephyrZodiac:
Dina has a baby in my game, but she married a CAS sim with a little daughter. Her pregnancy was totally normal, can't even remember her getting morning sickness very badly! They did have a problem with night time visits from about six nannies, though! Next time I play them I may have to move them to a clean new house!
