STOP with the dormie assignments!
ThyGuy:
I dread sending sims to college because of the dormies. The dormies are actually quite hilarious to watch most of the time, but they have one single habit that drives me up the wall and causes me to take away every table in the dorm and make them hold their plate while sitting down and eating.
The damn dormie assignments.
The assignments themselves aren't what piss me off. the fact that they almost ALWAYS make the chair they're sitting at unusable and then come later and whine for hours that they can't sit down and do a assignment is the part that makes me want to scream. They will do this to every single chair in the dorm that has a accessible table next to it, then no one can sit down to eat.
I don't want a mod that prevents them from doing it as much; I want a mod that prevents them from doing assignments COMPLETELY if there is no way to stop them from breaking all my damn chairs in the dorm every single sim day.
But there is something odd the dormies are doing that may be causing these chairs to become unaccessible. I've noticed that since OFB, dormies appear to have a weird jump bug while sitting down for assignments. They go to sit down, then they abruptly jump beside the chair, the homework is gone, and the chair is now unusable. This happens almost every time they try to sit down and do a assignment. This never happens to controllable sims that are asked to do a assignment. Only dormies.
Here is a error log from when I forced a error on the homework while they were doing the homework. If this doesn't help, tell me when I should force a error and on what object.
dragoness:
Ohmygod. Agree.
I don't have the jump bug you describe, but my dormies are eager to stick assignments all over the dorm, do about 3%, then wander off, only to complain about the lack of tables for their new assignment.
My current solution is to lock my playable sims' doors to protect their desks, and delete the dang things the instant I see the hated blue notebook laying around anywhere. If they actually wanted credit for that 3% of an assignment, they shouldn't have left it on the kitchen table. Or the floor. Or that end table in the study room. (Though that only happened once, that table is usually occupied by one of the forty gazillion books abandoned by the group-research-obsessed nitwits.)
Preventing all dormies from doing assignments ever would be nice. It's not like they ever graduate. Or if not that, make it so they can't do assignments anywhere but a desk, and then one could put all desks not occupied by a computer in the dorm room behind a Myne door. But that wouldn't help people who design dorms differently than I do, I suppose...
purplehaze:
Why on earth do you two not have noassignment littler installed? I run a tidy little dorm.
ETA: there's no homework in bathrooms also. I noticed the chair thing too. It was happening with such frequency since Seasons ( yep...I'm going to blame the EP) that I installed the hack to try and stop this.
witch:
The chair thing's happened since forever. That's one of the annoyances that finally turned me off Uni altogether. I used to just shift click reset every 24 sim hours or so.
purplehaze:
I'll probably be accused of smokin' crack, but it seems like this is happening more often. I play Uni a lot and have recently noticed this happening with greater frequency and not just in old dorm lots. It is happening the first day on a new dorm. *shrugs* Probably anecdotal.
