Is anyone else getting some random Paranormal Activity style moments? Usually when the sim needs to change clothes, every now and then they'll just stand there for a sim hour until they're late for work or whatever and then they'll change clothes and go on their way.

It's also frustrating that all the new bunkbeds are Kewian based.

That's caching lag. To prevent it, pause your game and let it load, otherwise it will try to load while the game clock is running, wasting game-time.

Yup. Totally worthless garbage there. Accept no Kewian-based substitutes! Aren't you happy that AwesomeMod tells you the REAL ratings?

The free holiday thing for the adults seems pretty buggy. My sims lost their wants, and the opportunities they had no longer worked. One said "return to the base hood", and the other had the title go blank. In both, the longer text looked like it was the message you get on completion.

In terms of the ratings that AwesomeMod tells you what does Kewian-based mean? I'm not sure how it relates to the whale.

Eh, I don't know. Couldn't my version just be different because I don't have Generations or any of the stuff packs? I noticed it did a tiny patch update again right after I installed Late Nite today.

There's a thread on the main Sims 3 forums that has a bunch of patches for each EP/SP that's supposedly updated, and 6.5.1.011031 is one of them. So now my game says this as well. :\ And I have Generations and all the other stuff packs/EPs.

Oh so I see there's a new post about it. So you're not alone.

A Kewian-based item is basically an item that is so utterly trash that you should never use it, either because it is actually harmful, or because it is simply so bad when better options exist that you should never waste your money on it, as it will actually delay progress.

Just realized that the game highers an entertainer matching the gender of the bachelor or bachelorette's fiance/fiancee, meaning a gay sim will get a male entertaining, lesbians get females, etc. Glad they got that right.

Slip of the mind, my bad.

Also noticing some clever use of existing moodlets. This one was on a field trip to the police station.

Probably.  If you'll recall, the Vole wanted you to enable father-son incest for his sims, so a little bladder control problem is probably the least of that kid's psychological problems.

He could avoided all the grief he gets for this if he had just downloaded Twallan's mod. Though, maybe it didn't have the incest option yet.

That's just one small fraction of the grief he brings upon himself, albeit an extremely icky, disturbing fraction.

I have this glitch where my teen sims parents will get stuck in an endless scolding loop, usually when the teen hasn't even done anything wrong in the first place.  It happens every day when the teen comes home from school, and the only way I've found to fix it so far is by using resetsim on one of them.

Also, I had two of my sims inventories explode.  They lost everything they were carrying, including their fancy new high school diplomas.  I THINK this may have happened right after the husband accepted one of the new "vacation" opportunities, because the teen's inventory was fine.  They also never WENT on their 'vacation', despite me accepting the opportunity.  Just curious if anyone else has had these bugs, and if anyone knows a workaround for the scolding loop.

And the sims weren't Chinese, Indian, or Nigerian? Because that'd be a win for Maxis.

I'm pretty sure Maxis was just eaten by EA. The name still exists, but it's not the same Maxis from TS1 days.

I believe Maxis became a subsidiary of EA and as such EA will still release games under the Maxis banner.  Probably games they do not think will do well bear the Maxis logo so people think they are a different company.

Maxis still exists. The company no longer works on The Sims franchise, but their latest game, Darkspore, has their logo right on the front.

If you check the Electronic Arts website, you will see the links to Darkspore, which is released under the Maxis banner by EA.  Maxis these days is just a branch of EA.

I've just come across the old age-resetting bug after one of my sims got a tattoo. Was this actually fixed by EA and is now back, or is it one of the many glitches that they never bothered with but which was fixed by AM (I've not tried out the test version yet, so am playing a vanilla game)?

I can confirm that the daycare profession is borked. My daycare provider had her grandson as one of her charges and as soon as he arrived, things started getting strange (maybe a coincidence) - sometimes he wouldn't show the status window, sometimes he couldn't be interacted with, and at the end of the day, nobody came to pick him up, so I resetsim him home. He came back the next day but still had no status, although the icons showing hunger, etc. would flash over his head. At the end of that day, no parents came to pick up their kids. I sent them all home with resetworld, which worked, but the next day, no kids arrived at daycare.  The kids in that daycare seem to age at 2-3 times the normal rate, as well.

I've also had problems with the Grim Reaper - twice he showed up to take someone away, but the victim just stayed curled up as a ghost in the fetal position while multiple urns appeared and the message of death appeared over and over again. 

Both of these situations have occurred with the June 7 build of AM, but I'm not sure where the bug originates.
