Title: Anyone here care to try and fix these glitches?
Post by: KnowitallSim on 2007 September 15, 00:25:48
1. World music speakers play Salsa music
2. When it's time for work, if I cancel the icon (to lets say, get in a shower before I click on the icon and go to work) the carpool car drives off.
3. I can no longer 'Accept Delivery' with Grocery, Chinese Food and Pizza people, I have to wait till they give up and set the stuff on the ground
4. The windows are glitched. On the inside, they're dark as if they're outside. Also, the snow is on the inside of the windows, not outside.
5. My neighborhoods play buy and build mode music, I've had this glitch since University

Thanks, all of them except for 5 came with BV. I have no hacks except for the Anti-Tour Guide hack.

Your windows are installed backwards. Turn them around.

Feature, not a bug.

I'm pretty sure the snow is something that you can't do anything about. I know that the windows that came with seasons, the ones with the shutters, always have some snow powder on the insides.

You are lucky with the car pool driving off. Since BV, if I click to cancel the taxi, it won't freaking leave! I haven't noticed if the car pool drives off or not.

The music that plays on community lots, seems to be techno, for me. Or else, I some how fucked up my mp3 placement when I was placing my own music in the game.

3. I've not seen this problem since the base game.  Is the delivery person actually ringing the doorbell.  Are they also going to the front door?
You can actually grab the food basket from the delivery sim with Moveobjects on, stick it on a counter and tell your sim to put it away.

Sorry to hijack but didn't want to start another glitch thread, but the disappearing windows have returned. As in, I put windows on my second level but they disappear and just leave holes in the walls. I know this happened with OFB, any one else have it?

They're not backwards. I have them both ways right next to each other and they each have snow on the inside.

Also, 5 is irritating. It might have been a good feature back with the first few expansions, but now that there are 10 or so neighborhood songs I want them to play instead.

 It's YOUR GAMES that is glitched, not THE GAME itself. I've never had such problems with mine.

LizzyJ --> My windows are dissapering as well. I've noticed the patern in that but I don't remember what it was.

Windows turning into holes is not a new bug, it's an old bug. It's caused by using walls-down mode. If you use walls down mode, windows can visibly disappear and be replaced by wall-cutout holes. To avoid this, switch to wall-cutaway or wall-up mode, and your windows should return after you mess with it a bit.

Or you can switch to wall-cutaway or wall-up mode then save and exit the lot and re-enter. I get this bug a lot when building stuff.

Switching from build to buy mode and back again usually works too.

Not for me :D Tried that lots of times before, but no dice. Sometimes I have to switch n'hoods back and forth to clear it. Depends which version of Sims I am building in.

1. World music speakers play Salsa music
This appears to afflict ALL BV speakers. A fix for this is available now. Do not comment on this issue unless it doesn't work.

I believe Pes was commenting on the darkness on your windows, not the snow. The snow is always there, I believe it has something to do with how they meshed the sills. The game seems to see the lower sill as outside.
Your darkness and light problem may also be a light modification. Do you have one? Or maybe the scriptorium? It will automatically install one I believe, if you do not unclick the boxes.

As for #2-#3 That is a problem with your game as far as I can tell. I can't double check for you because I'm having some custom issues, BV seems to not tolerate the amount of custom I have.

I admit, I'm getting 2 as well. If you cancel the carpool thing, the car drives right on off. Quite annoying.

Shouldn't be a problem if you use BUY and make sure they get up in time and you have enough toilets/showers in the house.

I knew for sure that some windows are broken and do not let the light pass through, so it is possible that other new windows are as well. One of the OpenMe windows is; there's a couple of fix on MTS2, one by MaryLou (global) and one by Windkeeper.

The did fix the Open Me window in the Seasons patch, I think it was, or maybe before - does this mean they've broken it again....
