Anyone else have this?

Since the trend here today seems to be posting a vague thread title like this, I figured I'd be a smartass and do it too. 

Anyhow, getting the so&so gets sprayed by a skunk wants, basically to have their enemy get sprayed. Well had one sim get it for another sim that has long since been dead, in fact the enemy sim in question who she wants to get sprayed died when this sim (who is an adult) was still a child. Weird. I guess they forgot to check if a sim was dead first with that want.

Actually, I don't really care if anyone else has it. Those threads were just annoying me.

Totally agree with the vague titles.

[Inge]

Authentic vague titles are supposed to end with "...", being the sign of the cliffhanger

[Larxene]

I'll remember the "..." next time

I suppose I'm somewhat guilty of using a vague title.

At least the vague titles get people thinking "Oh WTF is this one about", then they go have a look and either decide that it was 30 seconds of time wasted or better yet, they say "Hmm, I think I can help with this one"

I remember back in my BBS days nobody actually answered if you stated the problem clearly upfront. Only after going into more coherent forums did I learn that vague title posts were a bad thing.

Haha, only on the BBS would coherency, clarity and conciseness be a bad thing.

Haha I missed your funny comebacks here Motoki.

Incidentally... I took a look at the code for this, at least I think I looked in the right place and it appears as if it is already supposed to test if the sim in question is dead or alive:

Code:

     0000 : 0538 : 0903000A00000A000A0000010000 : 01 : 0002 : 0001
[global 0x0538] Pet - is Pet? (nID) (Param 0x0003)

     0001 : 1017 : 0903000A00000A000A0000010000 : 01 : FFFD : FFFE
[private 0x1017] Alive & Eligible? (Param 0x0003)

     0002 : 1274 : 0900000901000900090300010000 : 01 : FFFD : FFFE
[private 0x1274] CT - Generic Test - Pet Is Eligible? (Param 0x0000, Param 0x0001, Param 0x0002, Param 0x0003, zeros)

It first checks if the target (Param 3 I believe) is a pet itself or not. If it is NOT a pet, then I'm guessing it's supposed to be a sim. It then checks if the sim is Alive & Eligible. If not, then it should return false and the want theoretically should not roll up.

I haven't played the game myself yet, so I can't say for sure whether or not this is actually broken. Has anyone else experienced this want rolling up for dead people?

Well I just checked SimPE to make sure I'm not nuts and that she's still dead.

She's got the ghost flag checked, is in the default household, 65535 days left in life stage. I'd say she's definitely dead. She died ages ago and I never tried to resurrect her. I'm not sure if her grave is still around or not honestly, I'd have to look, but she's most certainly dead.
