Anti-Redundancy *CRITICAL FOR BVp0*
brownlustgirl:
:D I know, the bow is how you greet him. The whole family did it, and talked, drank tea, fished, played kicky bag, all 3 of the family members were friends with him by the end of the night. They spent a whole day with him, no dragon tale.??? Just about to test another family and see if this continues.
Hook:
I sent a Sim to the Wise Old Man, knowing that I'd have to bow and serve tea. He was just sitting there, and when I queued my Sim to bow, nothing happened and bowing eventually dropped out of the queue. I had her serve tea, and the WOM joined. Then she performed tai chi (I think I invited the WOM to join) and after a very short time the WOM said my Sim was gracious enough to learn and told the story.
My Sim had done tai chi enough to be fairly good at it, and I'm wondering if this made a difference. I like sloppyhousewife's story about learning to bow from the WOM.
The only problem I've had, even without the hack, is that I only sent one Sim of the two on vacation at the time to see the WOM, and he was no longer there when I sent my other Sim.

I think you can only get the tale once per vacation? I sent a sim back twice during the same vacation and the WOM was not there. Maybe it's just normal game play? It's funny he didn't react to the bow. You did use the Greet interaction, which is a bow?
Back on topic- I had a terrible problem with disappearing tour guides at the hotels (no guides on any hotel lots no matter how long the sims stayed). Since installing the mod they are starting to reappear. I also have been using the lot debugger to nuke>sim schedulers on hotel lots. I have no idea which mod/fix is correcting the problem. Mind you, this has been occurring in my new vacation hoods with downloaded hotels. I need to revisit PV and check the original hotels I played before installing the mod. Hopefully the problem is resolving itself.

Serving tea is how you greet the wise old man - you humble yourself to the role of his servant by serving him tea. I think the bow just gives a relationship boost. But I've never gotten the legend - I thought he was there to teach me tai chi, and havn't been back to the far east location since I found out there was more to it

Okay, I just got Nervous Subject back from Takemizu Village. While there, he greeted the WOM with a bow, at which point the old fart teleported away to some other point on the lot. Nervous served some tea but the WOM didn't join him; rather, he went over to the pond and started fishing. So after a couple drags of tea, Nervous joined the WOM fishing and they comingled their souls over the trout for a while, at which point the WOM told Nervous he was worthy or some crap and indicated he was going to tell him the Legend. But approaching Nervous, he started stamping his foot like there was something blocking him, then he went back to fishing. Nervous started to stink and I sent him back to his hotel for ablutions and a hot meal, then I had him return to the secret pagoda and the WOM was levitating by the tea set just like the first time Nervous visited the lot. In fairly short order, Nervous got the tale told. No tai chi involved and still no tea serving involving the old man. But he did bow.
Since we're so far off topic anyway, what the hell is the point of the stupid legend? I've had Nervous tell the damn story to five or six other Sims, and the only result I can see is that they got a few more points up the friendly scale. Whoop-dee-doo. Am I missing something?
P.S. The hack's working great for me, too. Just to steer it back to the topic at hand. ;D
