Room Service Fix - Not Fixed
Magicmoon:
I downloaded the updated fix, put it in a clean game, and took a family on vacation. I took them to every hotel in the 3 Lakes hood, and room service worked every time. I then took them home and chose a different family to go on vacation.
When the 2nd family went on vacation. Room service didn't work again. I took them to every hotel in the Oriental hood and it didn't work for any of them. Remember, this is still the clean game and still the same game load, I didn't restart my game after testing the first family.
So frustrated, I left the fix in and put all of my other hacks back in the game. It's working almost every time now.
So EA has done something weird, because this fix should work every time, not just most of the time. I'm wondering if Maxis broke the code in 2 different places or something. Perhaps something doesn't load in correctly when the vacation hood loads, because that one family couldn't get the room service to work for their entire vacation, where the family before them had it working the entire time, and since I didn't reload the game in between vacations, it should have worked exactly the same.
*When I say 'didn't work' I mean that the bellhop served the food on the check-in desk instead of taking it to the room. In a clean game, without the fix, I can't get room service to work at all. The food tray just disappears as soon as it is taken from under the desk. I have all the EPs, but none of the stuff packs.
I'm trying to understand why clean games would behave differently for different people and why anything would work 2 different ways during the same game load. It doesn't make sense.
I have posted a similar reply in the author's thread.
