Title: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: Gus Smedstad on 2009 June 14, 20:32:20 So far, I've noticed that "paint portrait" doesn't get marked as completed, though I may be Doing It Wrong. Learn New Composition doesn't seem to trigger when you read sheet music, either.
- Gus Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: BlueSoup on 2009 June 15, 00:28:52 Don't read the compositions - that completely fucks it up. Keep them in your Sim's inventory, and when they're at the proper level to learn it, click it and choose Learn Song. And now that you've read it, I don't believe there's any way to go back and learn the song properly. I learned the hard way, obviously.

Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: Gus Smedstad on 2009 June 15, 05:06:33 That is very strange. Thanks for pointing that out - and yeah, that's definitely Phail on the part of EAxis.

I have several Sims which are mutually at 100% relationship and the wish still cannot be fulfilled. BFF is a "best friend forever". I don't know how to get it though, the wish description says "find something in common" or something like that. I've had two teens, one of them (the one that had the wish of being a BFF with the other) discovered the other is also a snob, just like him. No BFF. Haven't tested this fully yet. The Prima Guide (I know, I know, lies and propaganda...) says "Use the BFF social and stay above 60 in the relationship. This is a teen-only LTR." I have no idea what's a BFF social, never seen it.

If the person accepts then the wish is fulfilled.

I have several Sims which are mutually at 100% relationship and the wish still cannot be fulfilled. There appears to be some magical relationship level called BFF in an xml in gameplaydata.package. It appears alongside things like Old Friend, Ex-husband/Ex-wife, Enemy, Husband/Wife, etc. Code: <LTR> I have no idea how to achieve it though. Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: Fikcija on 2009 June 15, 12:06:41 When your relationship is at its maximum with whoever you get an option in the friendly tree to ask to be bff. If the person accepts then the wish is fulfilled. What if they happened to become romantic interests before the relationship hit the maximum? Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: Nikki on 2009 June 15, 12:12:31 When your relationship is at its maximum with whoever you get an option in the friendly tree to ask to be bff. If the person accepts then the wish is fulfilled. What if they happened to become romantic interests before the relationship hit the maximum? I'm not sure if it will work that way. I think you'd have to ask to be just friends which takes away the romantic interest status. Usually when I see that I just reject that wish as I think its ridiculous to be going backward in relationship status and wonder why the game doesn't recognize that. I usually only see it in teens and if you ask someone else after to be bff then you get some pop-up about betrayal or something which I guess means you can only have one. Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: Marhis on 2009 June 15, 12:52:30 Yes, apparently a teen will be jealous if its BFF becomes BFF with another sim. Oh god.
Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: Nikki on 2009 June 15, 13:20:06 When your relationship is at its maximum with whoever you get an option in the friendly tree to ask to be bff. If the person accepts then the wish is fulfilled. Thanks! Does this exist for siblings and half-siblings? I have yet to see the option, but all my Sims were related. I believe it works for siblings because I had two brothers become bff before and for sure I have two cousins who currently are. Its annoying though they keep rolling wishes for it after they already have one like bff hogs.

Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: Gus Smedstad on 2009 June 16, 16:43:03 Unlike most of the similar Wishes, it appears that "Paint X masterpieces" counts from the point where you roll the wish, not the current total. I've fulfilled it successfully, but I had to paint 5 more masterpieces, not 5 total.
- Gus Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: EdenNintyNine on 2009 June 16, 16:52:19 In my experience, the 'get more muscular' wish never fulfills. Though I think my sims only ever get it when they reach the max their bodies can handle so...
Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: ForkInToaster on 2009 June 16, 16:55:24 I don't know if this is a problem in Riverview, but when my sims get a wish to go to a park, there is only ONE park that will fulfull the wish. It's the one in the center. If you go to any park, they will not be happy.
Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: Fikcija on 2009 June 16, 17:21:51 In my experience, the 'get more muscular' wish never fulfills. Though I think my sims only ever get it when they reach the max their bodies can handle so... One of my sims fulfilled that when I was first playing the game. But I don't remember how... But I remember it was fulfilled for sure. Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: chaos on 2009 June 29, 21:09:58 The wish to read 30 books total is broken. I've tested it on four sims that had the Bookwork trait. Reading 20 books fulfills that wish, and reading 50 books fulfills that wish, but reading 30 books never fulfills the wish to do so. My sims will have read 30 books, and this shows in the Skills Journal, but the wish never gets fulfilled.
Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: gamb on 2009 June 29, 21:22:55 I can't get Gold Digger LTW to fulfill. My sim married a rich man. I killed him. She sees his ghost every night. No wish fulfillment has ever occurred. So far as the game tells me, I've met every requirement of the LTW. It is...aggravating.
I didn't know there were so many apparently broken wishes though. Way to beta-test, EAxis. Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: bottles on 2009 June 29, 21:27:01 The wish to Paint 5 Masterpieces is broken (http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l129/polllyg/Sunset%20Valley/Mlies.jpg). My elder sim had a wish to paint 15 masterpieces, so I chained her to the easel for the sake of selling paintings after her death. A billion paintings later, I wondered why the wish hadn't been fulfilled. I checked, and she'd painted 31. The wish to paint any number of masterpieces or brilliant paintings is broken, as far as I can tell. Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: chaos on 2009 June 29, 21:34:48 The wish to paint a brilliant painting has been fulfilled in my game, but not the wish to paint X number of masterpieces.
Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: Chocolate Milk on 2009 June 29, 22:02:10 In my experience, the 'get more muscular' wish never fulfills. Though I think my sims only ever get it when they reach the max their bodies can handle so... I've only managed to fulfill this wish through using the body sculptor. Which seems far too easy. As for the painting masterpieces/read 30 books, I've had the same issue, and I'm glad it's not just me. Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: edejan on 2009 June 30, 00:03:24 Whoa, same problem with both the daily wishes and lifetime wishes. Another screw up by EA...:( Glad it's not just me being a dumbass...wel it's not ONLY me being a dumbass.
Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: Slymenstra on 2009 June 30, 00:27:08 I think BFF is when you know all the person's traits? I believe I recall getting this fulfilled when my sim learned all the other sim's traits. I find it hard sometimes to learn them all. That is one wish I just do not fulfill.
Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: Zazazu on 2009 June 30, 02:11:05 You have to actually ask the other sim to be BFF, too. I've only done it once. Stupid 12ness.
Title: Re: Wishes that don't fulfill Post by: bottles on 2009 June 30, 22:31:46 Unlike most of the similar Wishes, it appears that "Paint X masterpieces" counts from the point where you roll the wish, not the current total. I've fulfilled it successfully, but I had to paint 5 more masterpieces, not 5 total. - Gus In this instance, my sims started with less than 15 paintings, and ended up with 31, so she definitely painted 15 more. Seems to be an inconsistent bork. Something else may be affecting it. |
