Scanner Gun hack screwy since patch?
ElviraGoth:
This last sim that dropped it was just scanning the wall. If the patch doesn't have anything in it that interferes with anything else, I'm putting it back in. Tired of hunting everywhere for that stupid gun.
The only sims that I have use it alone are adults, YAs and teens. I always use adult or elders to train children on the career rewards.
And the chocolate factory needs a teacher for any age if the learner's cooking skill level is too low. But I usually put a teen or older on it alone anyway, because while they're trying to get the thing started, they're still learning. The little skill level thingy comes up above their head, anyway. I have had problems with teaching on that occasionally. The teacher and the student will sometimes drop out of that, too. I just chalked it up to some Maxis bug.
Hook:
If your Sim has absolutely no cooking skills and you want them to learn on the candy machine, there's a little trick that might help. Have 'em run to the far corner of the lot, put on the thinking cap, then click on the candy machine and "Make Candy". They get the skill indicator as soon as they start walking toward the machine, and with any luck they'll gain enough skill just trudging across the lot to the machine that they won't make a mess. Repeat as necessary.
Pescado says they need 6 cooking points to be successful, but in practice I've found that my Sims quit making messes after gaining 4 points. And they are often successful with fewer than 4 points, often enough to make it worthwhile to keep trying.

Useful if your sim can't afford a TV or a bookcase!
Hook:
Actually, I don't even care if there's a failure. They're still learning while they're standing there fretting about the chocolate puddle they're creating. :) And studying with a trainer is still faster than using the TV or bookcase.

And the TV's a damn nuisance anyway, they're forever either switching channels or "having a little rest" on the sofa and they stop watching!
