News Paper Thief in BV win everytime ?
MaximilianPS:
i've a pretty bastard sim that steal the newspaper to everyone :D
but, a morning my sim wake up early, and keep his newspapaper just when the paperboy drop it..
then he goes in his home to read it..
while he is reading the papaer, the bastard-one come and take the journal directly from the road :o
and the weired things is that the paper disappear >:(
i've never seen this kind of bug, so i think that's 'cause BV.
so, anyone have the same problem ?
floopyboo:
yeah. if the interaction is already queued up for the newspaper thief, then the paper, no matter where it is, will disappear.
What I do if I actually want the paper is I pause the game as soon as the paper is dropped by the delivery person & go into buy mode & pop it inside.
I miss what happened in seasons where if you did it while the interaction was in queue, the thief would take an old paper, effectively cleaning up for you.
I'm not so sure I mind the thefts - keeps the yard tidy.

That doesn't always work for me. I've put the paper inside manually and still have had it stolen, even when the door is locked. I think the only way that works all the time is 'bring in paper' before a thieving interaction begins. I'm still running Seasons and sometimes they just steal the old paper instead of the new one, but I had a paper stolen out of a Sim's hands the other day when an old paper still sat by the mailbox, because my Sim and the thief started for the paper at the same time and my Sim got to it first.
Zazazu:
I hide papers under the foundation, then put the last one (after the paper girl whines) into inventory. No more stupid stealing. I also hide the garbage can away from the kickers and strays. I've never seen someone just randomly kick over trashcans in real life. Bash mailboxes in with a bat, sure.

I've never see a paper stolen. :o I'd be grateful for the yard cleanup. LOL
