Title: Sims unable to join in watching tv
Post by: claudiasharon on 2008 July 24, 20:09:35
For some reason, sometimes I don't get the option to have my sim join another sim in watching tv. It doesn't matter the tv, it's happened with all of them. At first it just started in the college lots, then it progressed to the neighborhood. Anybody know how to fix this? I never had this problem before freetime. It's not the fault of any custom tvs, I tried without them and still had the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edited to add: The other functions (work out, watch movie, etc) also fail to show up for the sim not watching tv when another sim is watching tv. When he or she stops watching tv for another sim to watch it, then the other functions show up, allowing that sim to watch the tv (or do whatever). But the next sim still can't join to watch tv or anything else.

To this non-awesome person, it sounds like either you're using CC TVs that haven't been updated for later EPs, or you have a conflict somewhere in your Downloads folder.

Run Paladin's HCDU (http://208.109.175.73/Sims_2_HCDU.htm) to see if any TV-related conflicts can be identified. You can also run in debug mode to see if an error log is generated when you try to use the TVs. If not, then it's binary search (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,7437.msg208008.html#msg208008) time.
