STOP with the dormie assignments!

Update: played another Maxis dorm with all Maxis content. I had the same problem with a table and chairs. The chairs were fine, but the table was 'in use'. I replaced it and so far, so good. I only played the lot for about an hour, but it seems to be working. I'm sure with more play those damned chairs (and table) will get stuffed again.
I have played Uni more or less regularly since I got it (I just use College Adjuster to speed it up), and, yeah, I have noassignmentlitter installed too. I've noticed exactly this same thing and only since Seasons. It has happened with the cheap desk, the Oriental-style desk, and the desk that looks like a leather-type tabletop (don't know the name of it), and various tables in the cafeteria. It's driving me up the wall to the point that I am not even going to have dormies in my playable dorms from now on, just my own Sims. GRRRR.
(But thank you - I thought I was going crazy. Now I know that we're both crazy.)
Sleepycat:
interesting, the only person to not have this 'dormie/chair in use/assignment' problem (in this thread) wasn't using noassignmentlitter (from what I could tell re-reading the posts quick)
so... could this be a bug in noassignmentlitter?
purplehaze:
I dunno. But it has been happening a lot very recently. I can't place the blame on the hack neccessarily, I'm not sure why this is cropping up so frequently. I have 'most' of the directors cut installed and a lot of Twojeffs mods. The only other mods are Jordi's hiders, JFades juicer tweaks, Inge's Elders Sleep through the Night, and Ctfg's faster gardening hacks. Last night I played a dorm that I hadn't played for months. And gee..guess what happened? Two borked tables and 2 chairs. Those tables and chairs were original to the Maxis lot. I never had a problem before, that I can recall, on that lot. I only noticed it because my sim was sitting and eating while holding his plate. Again, they were 'in use'. I had to replace them twice. Each time a dormie put the assignment down they would wave their hands about the chair not being accessable. The homework would disappear and another sim would lay down the paper...wash, rinse, repeat.This was with a brand new table and chair. No Sim had used it.
I mean, c'mon, this used to happen once in great while. It was very rare. Now it's infecting all the dorms that I have checked in on. This has been occuring since installing Seasons. I have no idea why Seasons could possibly affect this. I still have at least 6 more dorms to check up on. In fact, I just remembered, I went to remodel an uninhabited dorm that had previously held students, and I also had the 'in use' problem on a table and chair. How can it be 'in use' when there are no Sims on the lot? Bizarre.
I have used the table candles with great success to force the homework onto another table, but in one instance, the second table I placed for homework got borked also. I replaced it, and so far there's no problems. But, I didn't play the lot for a long time after the replacement.
ETA: when MY Sim uses the newly placed tables for homework, they don't become corrupt. It's only when a dormie uses/attempts to use it.
Sleepycat:
well I removed noassignmentlitter before playing last night since I knew I was going to be playing Uni.
I played both of the dorms that I had had the 'dormie/chair in use/assignment' problem (I removed the condiments from the tables upon entering) plus another dorm and not once did I end up with a unusable chair.
so IMO it does seem to be a bug in noassignmentlitter
J. M. Pescado:
I made an update aimed at reducing the potential for a possible stuck chair situation, even though I highly doubt they're related, since the assignment wouldn't combust if someone were actually using it.
