So what's been fixed in NL

<< < (36/101) > >>

LK:
Quinn: I have encountered both problems five and six.  It would be nice if these things can be/are fixed.  

Also, the last one should be fixable by JM's No Telepathy hack.  Unless Maxis has already done something about it.

miramis:
Any chance we will have the option to change born-in-game Toddler hairstyles?  The options are there in CAS but I use only 1 founding sim for a neighbourhood, the rest are all born in the game, meaning every single toddler is stuck with the default hair.

Here are some issues I have with my game that haven't been mentioned yet (I hope), though most of them are pretty minor glitches:

- The music is messed up, so you'll get CAS music in the Build mode, Buy mode music on neighborhood view, and so on.
- Whenever a sim leaves to a community lot and the stereo is on in his/her house, when they come back the stereo is still on, but there's not any music playing.


These are problems for me too.  It seems that the music is always messed up.  I thought it was something I had done by accident.  I do have custom songs on the radio stations and usually just selecting the silent radio (with the music icons wafting out of it) and telling it to play the next song works to get the music back on track.  Just recently (two days ago) the neighborhood loading screen was silent.  I have no custom music for the games buy/build/load modes.

We're looking into this as a separate issue (from the patches).  We didn't have any good animations for it at the time (i.e. TAE bringing the toddler to the mirror/vanity) and didn't want to just shove something in that looked incomplete (but we'll see...).  I've brought it up several times and there are many people that agree with me, so hopefully something will come of it.

You know HatedMaxoid, (and I don't like that name either), I have a wishlist. Of things I wish sims2 could do, was hoping uni might introduce, but no.

Identical children. This may be touted as a feature, not a bug, but I find it bloody annoying. If a couple has more than one child, each child is identical. Same star sign, same facial features. Apparently the randomise for babies merely cycles through a sequence and always starts at 1. If you go into CAS and roll a random number of sims, then load the lot and let the birth take place, then the baby is different to it's siblings. Pescado has of course provided a workaround. The Lot Debugger has an option to create a random number of sims, without saving them, then the baby will also be random.

Which leads me into the wishlist part. Genetics was something I had big hopes for. I wanted to crossbreed sims and get melded skin sometimes. Like a blue sim and a yellow sim might make green babies. It is also disappointing that all custom genetics override Maxis defaults, I wanted some random variety. With my new n'hood, all sims have custom genetics so I'm really keen to see some patterns emerge.

Building: I build lots, lots of lots. I NEED curves. And spiral staircases. And a rainbow of colours, not those choices of muddy, fluoro or busy. I need more window styles, fences and many more plants.  8)

Which reminds me of a bug that I don't think has been mentioned yet. The ground cover or terrain paints used to decorate landscapes - there's something very dodgy there. If you even select the groundcover tool, without applying any to the lot landscape, the lot will package all terrains in the downloads folder. These have often doubled up for me. That's how I first discovered the buggieness. I tried deleting the doubles. The lot was not able to load after that, crashed to desktop when I tried. If I install a lot with custom terrains, I untick them in the clean pack installer, this usually corrupts the lot. These ground paints can not be removed even with the correct command to remove all groundcovers, the lot still saves with them. I don't use them at all now.

Just recently I also encountered a corrupt aging controller in a lot. My sims wouldn't age, even with aging on, people here advised moving to a new lot, which I did and that fixed it. Apparently there are some pre-made Maxis houses and at least one dorm that have some corruption.
