Title: Bug: videogame causes unlimited skilling.
Post by: Doc Doofus on 2009 July 10, 04:44:07
I found only one mention of this on gamespot in a comment.  If you have one sim watching a TV channel that increases a skill, like the Cookin' Cable, and another sim comes along and interrupts this by playing a videogame on the TV, the sim that was watching TV continues to have the little skilling bubble over his/her head and continues increasing in skill for the rest of eternity -- or until maximum skill is reached.  Saving and restarting game doesn't stop it.  Having the sim watch TV again and then turning it off does stop it.  I haven't tried resetsim.

It's not a very obnoxious bug, or more people would complain about it.  But I have been snagged by this thing twice now in the same family.

This is a known EAxian bug. I have not pursued fixing it at this time.

You should not even lose time fixing it. The only solution is not to buy those craps. I placed a virtual googles in a household and the problem I got is so to say hilarious - the game waste your time by describing WHAT is going on in this piece of shit. I get messages that Sim Salabin is defeating the king of Salad Bowl or any alike stupid message that I short sighted as I am, have to stop the game to read what the hell is this. Man - gimme a break!

Yeah, this isn't really a BUG, but apparently the new Sims designers don't really understand the concept of SHOW, DON'T TELL.
