Title: Phone scenarios. Post by: Sivany on 2007 March 15, 20:01:52 Ok I'm probably extremely late picking up on this, but I've only really just started using SimPE to look at the game files. I loaded the objects.package from the original sims game and noticed there were files in there associated with the phone which seemed to refer to things that have never happened in my game (and I've had it since the day the original base game was released).
There was the Grandchild scenario (where a grandparent rings to tell you to have grandchildren), the Engagement scenario (which seems to be where someone rings you to gossip about someone else's relationship) and the Boss Invite (where your boss invites himself for dinner). I don't know enough about it to look at the code to answer my questions so I thought I'd ask here. Do these scenarios happen in the game or did they get removed? If they do happen, what sort of circumstances are needed for them to occur? I have tried searching for the answers but I couldn't find anything referring specifically to these things.

Title: Re: Phone scenarios. Post by: Sivany on 2007 March 15, 22:47:07 Thanks! I thought that might be what had happened. I'd quite like phonecalls like that to be in the game, but they'd probably get annoying after a while.
Title: Re: Phone scenarios. Post by: Dea on 2007 March 15, 23:50:55 I'd like to see those scenarios in the game.
Title: Re: Phone scenarios. Post by: notveryawesome on 2007 March 16, 00:07:24 I'd like to see them too, especially the one where the boss comes to dinner. I wonder if it's similar to the headmaster scenario, and your sim doesn't get a promotion unless the boss is impressed. :D

Title: Re: Phone scenarios. Post by: slurpeefiend on 2007 March 16, 06:57:36 Actually, it'd be a random useless NPC instead. Isn't that the definition of a boss, or just where I work?Title: Re: Phone scenarios. Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2007 March 16, 10:39:13 Yes, but the point is it's not actually associated with the sim in any way, it'd be the same set of NPCs for every job.
Title: Re: Phone scenarios. Post by: trudy on 2007 March 16, 11:11:22 but it would be doable to restore the scenarios?
Title: Re: Phone scenarios. Post by: Sivany on 2007 March 16, 16:05:03 Yes, but the point is it's not actually associated with the sim in any way, it'd be the same set of NPCs for every job. I guess that's why they took it out. They could have made a seperate NPC boss for each career, but then would we really want all those NPCs clogging up our game? It would have been a nice scenario apart from that. Title: Re: Phone scenarios.
