Scanner Gun hack screwy since patch?
Hook:
I was having the same problem with the scanner gun before the patch. I haven't used the scanner since the patch.
If your Sim intends to scan something and another Sim starts using it, the scanning will reset, putting the scanner gun and thinking cap on the ground next to the Sim. This is most obvious when they want to scan the maid's van about the time she decides to leave, but can happen with other items as well.
I also had a Sim scan the ReNuYu aspiration reward, one that had been moved to a new lot in a Sim's inventory. I couldn't place the object against a wall. When the object was scanned, the Sim got the corrupted thought bubble. I've since deleted the Senso Orb, and I hope there are no other problems.
I had an odder problem where a Sim would scan one item, then quit, putting the scanner gun back where he got it. I doubt this is the hack doing this however.
I'll try it without the hack, and if I don't like the results, I'll put the hack back in. I'd rather have a Sim reset once in a while than put up with the other crap that happens with the scanner gun.

Before I had the hack my sims were constantly losing it, and at that time I didn't have the replacement rewards so it was extremely frustrating - you have your sim at neatness 7 or so, on his way to being Captain hero, and he loses the gun! I know he can study from a boom but there's no fun that way!
What I have noticed, though, is that if a sim's fun level is full, they will stop scanning and put the gun back where they got it. So how about telling them to scan when fun is low?

That's when the Skillinator sends them out to kick stuff.
(Er, how do you study from a boom? Or was that book? :D)

Sorry, when only one hand works properly it's easy to make typos!
Have you tried the scanner gun without the skillinator?

Not lately. I do know that children won't use it by themselves. They pick it up and then put it back down. They need an adult with them to help them focus, LOL.
What is wrong with your hand?
