Bon Voyage- Pass the calamine
mistymage:
So I finally decided to try a vacation out. Massive amount of lag which I kind of expected since my pc is getting up there in age. The wait for loading was bearable.. but what happened after a tour was not.
I had 2 sims at the Far East spot.. the Dragon Hotel I think. Anyhoo I decided to try a tour by asking the tour guide. That turned out to be a long wait and was very lame. It took forever for the bus to arrive, my sims went "offworld" and then I got a chance card. I guessed wrongly and they ended up in a poison ivy patch. Then the bus returned. It was a "walking tour"... I thought they would actually go somewhere that I could "follow" and see. I guessed wrongly again!
That's when the annoyance occurred: they itched and scratched. This action "scratch" stomps most any action you want the sim to do. Allowing them to scratch doesn't stop the itch. Canceling "scratch" just had it show up again. The only thing that worked was sending them offworld again. Which took 4ever.
So is there something else I should have had them do? Take a shower? Buy calamine lotion?
I didn't have a chance to any further testing cos a storm popped up and I had to shut down... we get a lot of lightning here and even had the power blink once today.

Just wait till the bees arrive the next time you play the wrong chance card. :D
As in real life, the symptoms subside and all is well till the next time.

I had one of my sims get poison ivy from that lucky shrine in Takemizu Village. I got so mad when he stopped eating his $25 bowl of noodles just to scratch, and the NPC waiter cleared his dish away before he was finished scratching! This particular sim didn't exactly have money to burn.

I found the shower/bath/soak in hotub helps. It is a pain in the patuti to get them there though. In this game though, patience is the virtue! ;D

Thanks everyone! So unless Someone comes up with a fantastic way to stomp this I guess my unlucky sims will be bathing/hot tubing to relieve this annoying annoyance ;-)
