Title: Animation name is empty string : child and juice (BV)
Post by: pioupiou on 2007 September 18, 09:50:09
I had an error with a sim child attempting to dring tomato juice to warm up. Previous to BV I had sim children drank juices without problem.

I see no difference between the BV and pre-BV codes here. Does this happen with all juices, and or just that one? Are you certain this did not happen pre-BV?

I did not test it for the moment (just reported the problem I had in game). I don't remember serving tomato juice to children pre-BV, but I do remember them drinking apple juice and strawberries juice without any problem.
Just before the child who errors, 2 elders were able to drink from the tomato juice serving without problem.
I will try other juices with children and report back. Thanks for looking into the problem.

ETA : using the same kid, I had the same error with him trying to drink vegetable cocktail and strawberries juice. The adult in the house could drink the juices without problem. The error pops when the child turn after taking the glass from the tray, just before he actually begins to drink.
I will test this some more, with other children in other households.

I had the same thing happen to a child I directed to drink eggplant juice. The cup disappeared from her hand before she was able to drink it, and the remaining drinks on the tray appeared to look empty afterward.

Also, I had an adult female attempt to drink the juice and she was able to, but she got the memory of maxing out Charisma even though she only had five or six points. o.O I never had a problem with juice before BV.

I removed a mod that prevents juice trays from spoiling, but I haven't tested to see if it fixes the problem yet.

ETA: I tested the juice without the mod and there was no change.

I have definitely not seen the hot chocolate version before, since I'm pretty sure I've had kids macrocaffeinate with the hot chocolate machine. I will see if I can reproduce the issue, but I'm suspecting that something non-Awesome is at work here.

Yes, I have already mentionned that annoying new BV bug in another thread, I don't know how Maxis manage to broke the juice, but they did...

There is some evidence of broken juice there, too. I have made a fix for the child chocolate/juice error. Go get it (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9722.0.html).
