The Fight Club: Now With More Shinyness

So how does fighting work in the actual game?
Well, in the game, the winner is determined basically at random. Body skill has only a weak influence on whether or not you win or lose. The animations you see of the fighting had no effect on the outcome of the fighting, making it similarly uninteresting to watch, since a single roll determined whether or not you won the fight, which was completely independent of the roll which determined who appeared to be winning a given round, so you could thus see your sim apparently handing another one's ass to him, yet lose anyway.

I take it it's broken.... Was it always broken or did NL screw it up?
It technically always "worked" that way. If you consider this working. Let's just say that without it, the ongoing BlueSoup, Warrior Princess thing gets very uninteresting.

I'm asking because I'd like to explain to a couple of simmers why increasing the body skill of their policemen isn't actually going to stop them getting beaten up by burglars.
The burglar fight has not yet been addressed. It works entirely differently and completely independently of Body...for now.

Is your mod adding things to the fight routines or just fixing what was wrong? for example did EA actually intend grouchy sims to find fighting fun?
Adding. See "Green" rating. If something were genuinely broken, it would have a higher Terror Alert than Green.
cwykes:
Baaaa - I'll pass on the info. Fighting is one of the bits of the game I don't like and fighting being fun really doesn't appeal so I haven't DL'd this one so far. On the other hand I don't like the lame way fighting "works" now either and I hate playing with things I know are broken. I'll look out for a nice shiny fix for the policeman/burglar fight.
J. M. Pescado:
I didn't used to like fighting in the game either, because it was pointless, random, and unsatisfying. Now it's fun!

It's certainly made having sims live in dorms more fun. I like to watch what dormies the game throws into a dorm, because some of them have a long history of hating each other and I know that fights will break out all over the place. :)

I just started a new 'hood last night, and there have been at least 5 fights in my new dorm! Mostly involving visitors, especially mascots, but still...
