"Give Handheld to..." interaction

[nikita]

Whatever happened to this?  I just noticed but I don't have it as an option in my game anymore?  I don't have the no autonmous handheld hack, which I figured might be causing the problem, so I can't think of what it is.

Anyone have any clues? 

I know it's a relatively useless interaction but it's a nice boost in relationship points between kids and whoever gives them the handheld and the kids just look so darn cute and excited when they get it.  I liked it.

The interaction was removed in NL because the inventory system allows you to transfer the handhelds between inventories.

maxis didn't update the code relative to this interaction after nightlife and the new inventory feature. Plus the play handheld wants wasn't updated also and i notice some problems with portable wants. I made for my personal use (without any intention to share) a fix to it and is working fine so far. I'm using it since a month, when i first notice some weird behaviours of handheld wants. Still has something that i didn't catched yet since sometimes is duplicating the handheld in the inventory after sims were socializing playing it. Anyway, it isn't hapening all the time. If you are interested, i can send to you.

That would be great, pinhead.  Thanks. 

I know you can transfer from inventory to inventory but it doesn't have the benefit of the relationship boost.  Or the cute interaction.

I'd like to have that, too. Perhaps you could post it here?
