Bug: Problem placing some objects out of inventory
AllenABQ:
I used my sims' inventory for the first time last night to move their household furniture and such from one lot to another. (Elder couple whose kids had all moved out and now were in too big of a house.)
I must first say that this is a GREAT addition to game play. The couple's stuff all fit nicely within the new home, and very little was needed in the way of redecorating. I hate have to buy all new stuff every time someone moves.
I did encounter a problem though. Two items -- a double bed and a dresser, both Maxis objects -- would not sit properly against a wall when I removed them out of inventory. Tried to place them but would get the red "deny placement" grid for positioning. A pop-up message would say "Can't intersect with wall". The only place positioning would be accepted was if I placed either object at least one square grid away from any wall (in other words in the middle of a room).
At first I thought something might be wrong with the building. But then I found that if I bought a new bed and dresser out of Buy Mode, I could place them against the walls in question with no problems.
Anyone else run into this?
This was happening with the NL patch installed. Can't claim to know if the problem existed before I patched my game because I hadn't tried it before.
Motoki:
I haven't tried myself, but I definitely heard others talk about it before the patch.
One thing I suggested doing that always works for me when I have problems with objects (such as beds where you can no longer sleep on one side or chairs that are stuck halfway pushed in) is to do boolprop testingcheatsenabled true in the console, then hold shift and click on the object, do force error, then reset. It should reset the object to its normal state and has never caused me any problems and I've done this many times.
It seems like this is something they didn't fix with the patch. :(
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, they never fixed it for Sims 1 either, so they've know about this problem for a loooooong time!

Lots of people, lots of times, just look into the threads about NL bugs, or do a serach on this forum.....

Yes. I think someone traced it to the object losing its shadow after it goes into inventory, which then breaks the object. Kinda defeats the purpose of taking your objects with you to save money. ::)
