Mass Amnesia Bug
Ancient Sim:
Last night one of my Sims had a Dream Date with one of the Uni professors. I was a little puzzled when he sprang-up the want to have his first woo-hoo with her, as I knew for a fact he'd been woo-hooing all over campus for years.
To cut a long story short, as soon as an NPC or townie comes into play in the game, their memories are wiped totally clean. All they have is the stupid Mystery Sim stuff and "Went to College". They have no recollection whatsoever of meeting all their friends or anything. I am LIVID. I am going to put the amnesia hack back in NOW and if it messes up the game, so be it. I refuse to let this happen to anymore Sims. It's no wonder they are all wandering around looking lost, they've got nothing to talk about!
Has anyone else noticed this? I've only just been able to get SimPE to work for the memories in Pleasantview so didn't realise the extent of it until now. Luckily I have a back-up from before I installed, but it's going to take AGES to sort it all out. If this is intentional, it's the most stupid thing I've come across. It's bad enough doing it with NPC's, but townies? They are part of the neighbourhood and share the lives of the Sims living there. For them to lose all their memories is ludicrous, especially as in many cases they've had personal relationships with these Sims.
Edit: Unfortunately, I DON'T have a back-up. Since installing the latest SimPE, my back-up folder seems to have disappeared. So now I am going to have to play the guessing game. No wonder Prof. Stephan keeps ringing my Sim up wanting more dates, he can't remember any of the other women he is supposed to be in love with. If I find out this was deliberate, I am going to ... grrrrrrrrrrr ... turn somebody into a vampire???
MistMeUK:
i dont think its just the memories, i think its the wants and fears bit in general.
one of my sims bought a phone in the uni pack, now when nightlife is installed she gets the "buy Mobile" want. when she already has one.
J. M. Pescado:
This falls into "it's not a bug, it's a feature". NPC Amnesia is actually a preprogrammed part of the game made to intentionally mindwipe NPCs and townies on move-in. This dubious feature was disabled by one of our hacks, but created an issue where dormies that got moved into a house not part of Uni would simply effectively drop out instead of getting an autograduate.
It is not presently known whether this hack will function under NL.

There is only one you have to turn into Vampire, but he already declared that he already is, and playing "Space Conquere"...:) - how Awesome of him...:).
*Sigh*
J. M. Pescado:
Silly Gali. The game isn't due to arrive for another 6-8 weeks. Be patient.
