Title: Borked Toddler Skill Notification Post by: Menaceman on 2009 February 13, 14:46:57 It was pointed out to me about a week ago that when a toddler sings a nursery rhyme and gains a charisma skill point the game incorrectly notifies the player that they have gained a body point from working out.
When they are being taught the nursery rhyme the notification correctly states they have earned charisma from learning a nursery rhyme. After looking through the files in SimPE I found that the correct text (Sim has gained a point of Charisma from singing a nursery rhyme) does exist and is entered correctly for Enlgish (UK) which is the installation I play with. I found the BHAV and had a look only to find that although it does point to the correct text it also points to the body skill text first. I tried to alter this but knowing nothing about BHAVs it did nothing and I was still told the toddler had gained a body point when it was the charisma that went up. Attached is the BHAV that I believe to be causing the problem. Title: Re: Borked Toddler Skill Notification Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2009 February 14, 02:57:06 I have never seen this happen. It must be something non-Awesome you did.

Title: Re: Borked Toddler Skill Notification Post by: Lord Darcy on 2009 February 14, 16:32:59 The culprit is not BHAV, but a mistranslated PersonGlobal stringset. This bug happens in all languages except for US English. UK English is affected as well.
I fixed this bug in my Pie Menu Text Strings Fix (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,13399.0.html). Be aware that my fix will conflict with other hacks which also modify PersonGlobal strings, notably Kitten Killer. US English players are blissfully unaware of numerous broken pie menus plagued with redundant functions and inconsistent translations. Title: Re: Borked Toddler Skill Notification Post by: Menaceman on 2009 February 14, 20:21:30 Thanks Darcy. I've just downloaded. I was aware of your pie menu corrections but the last time I saw the thread they didn't seem to apply to me. I can also go and alert the person who contacted me that there is in fact a fix.
Title: Re: Borked Toddler Skill Notification Post by: Budcot on 2009 February 15, 12:48:22 Ta, it didn't occur to me to check the fixes because I just assumed (stupidly) that the UK version would be the same as the US version since the words have the US 'or' rather than the UK 'our' in words like neighbourhood.
