Title: Report about a queer death - suggestions and explanations welcome!
Post by: Nadira on 2006 January 22, 11:49:41
I have reported about my teleporting/beaming problem elsewhere (phonehack thread). Lately I must have got a young adult sim teleported on my neighbourhood residency lot without noticing it for some time (therefore I do not know how he arrived, but he definitely was not invited). I only saw him when he was peeing himself in my livingroom. Immediately afterwards he fell asleep on the floor. He could not be interacted with and he could not be waked by stereo or TV. I moved him in front of the house since he was blocking a passage. He slept until the next morning, woke up and immediately died from starvation. The "no uni invulnerability hack" is OFF (!!), since I have not been playing on the Campus lately. The young adult sim was an old campus-friend of the house-owner, who was an elder on the last but one days of his life (and has died in the meanwhile a natural platinum death). The last time the young adult had been officially invited to the house was shortly before installing NL and the patch, there had been no problems then.
What the hell is going on??? (Sorry, no error log, I was too surprised. And in fact, I donīt know if that was an error or some of Maxis weirdnesses?)

Tight pants. I place the blame squarely on tight pants.

Youīre never sleeping, arenīt you? Well, tight pants probably would be my first thought at that time in the morning!

I've had sims that aren't meant to be there suddenly appear without warning pee themselves, and pass out. I delete them.

Deleting would seem to be the answer.  I'd guess this was a sim with full outgoing points who just decided to walk into the house uninvited.

Hoped in vain it would be a bug, but seems to be one of Maxis queer jokes.
I delete them.
Why? Well, if that is so - if itīs not a bug but strange humor (JM most probably loves it) - Iīll use this sim and further ones to populate my community graveyard. No more dirty hands from killing CAS sims designated to be ghosts - keeps my character files clean.

I had something similiar happen at a party (actually I even exited without saving and it happened again) An uninvited guest appeared right in the living room and pee'd himself.  Right after collapsed on the floor.  Although in this case it didn't take long for the grim reaper to come.  I exited the lot without saving a third time and as soon as he appeared fixed his motives with a cheat (there wasn't any other way to get around it).

Still don't know what caused this and it never happened again.  Or maybe it was the tight pants!

I suppose it served him right for gatecrashing!

If it was a YA then it might have been related to move out from College bugginess. Did he happen to be a roomie of any sims in the house when they were at college?

I delete them with moveobjects on. Because that doesn't do anything except get that sim off that lot.
