Title: jumping and gliding Post by: LynnMar on 2007 February 12, 06:18:37 every once in a while some of my sims jump up in the air while they are talking to someone and sometimes they glide accross the floor. Is anybody else having a problem like that? I just reinstalled last weekend and I had to download all my pets hacks again. Could it be a hack or is it an EA problem?
thanks , Lynn Title: Re: jumping and gliding Post by: miros on 2007 February 12, 07:25:45 If the Sims doing the "jumping" are kids, yes, that's a known bug, and over 50% of the people who bothered to respond to the thread last time the question was asked admitted to having it.
Not sure if I've seen the "gliding." Can you describe the circumstances? Title: Re: jumping and gliding Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2007 February 12, 07:30:30 Attempts to fix this have been largely unsuccessful. If this happens, the usual solution is to try Force Error, Reset.

The lady was gliding across the floor for a few seconds after she did the jumping. lol I forgot how to force the error, I know you turn on the boolprop cheat thing and then you right click your mouse and push a button on the keypad but I can't remember which one. :-[ You need an icon with a person who has on a dunce cap for me. rofl Title: Re: jumping and gliding Post by: ElviraGoth on 2007 February 12, 15:11:02 I've had sims glide across the floor in a seated position after playing chess. Their heads were turned around and they'd glide for about a tile, stop, glide about another tile, stop, etc. until they got to where I sent them. Then they'd stand up and do whatever I sent them to do. And were fine after that.
The first time it happened was with Nervous Subject in Strangetown. Since it had never happened before, I thought maybe there was something about him - that he was supposed to do it! And that was base game only - before any patches or EPs. It's only happened once or twice since then, to different sims in different neighborhoods. And yes, I have the floating kids. Had a toddler break a toy robot the other day, and sent Mom to fix it. She had to lecture him first, and he floated at child's height while she lectured him. It has only been children otherwise. And that is only since Pets.
