101  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: I'm new and need guidance! on: 2005 December 05, 16:12:38
Another strange thing happened to Orlando Centawski when he was swimming, he stood on the water and played his handheld - very biblical!

I have two Neighborhood lots next to each other where that happens frequently. The only peculiar thing about them is that the pool is one tile away from the edge of the lot on both. Not only do Sims walk and talk on water on both lots, but I can see the pool next door through the wall of the lot I'm playing on. Having pools that close together was never a problem before Nightlife, so I chalked it up to neighboring lots being somewhat more "active" now ~ clickable, visible, etc. Oh...I also cannot remove or alter either pool.  Undecided

I also have one Community lot where Sims occasionally stand on the pool water and talk; the pool there is also one tile away from the edge of the lot, but the lot next to it is unoccupied. So I think that's the common factor, at least in my game: Pool walls too close to the edge, so the game gets confused whether it's a pool wall, or a regular wall, or something.

Any of that sound familiar to your situation?




I'll check it out - so far he's the only one on the lot who has done this but I hadn't thought to think it could be where the pool was positioned - good advice, thanks!

Afternoon!

Thanks ZephyrZodiac I am going to unload the Party Pack tonight and see what happens - fingers crossed it will work, such a shame but if I'm honest I'm not overly impressed with it so it's no great loss.

Hi ZephyrZodiac, I have indeed been wading through pages of similar posts but no-one seems to have been experiencing this problem as recently as I have.  Things were going well until I downloaded the latest patch and then installed Xmas Party Pack?

I don't download anything other than Maxis stuff so I'm thinking that the gardener problem stemmed from me marrying him off to Brandi Broke.  I had him quit his job but he still turns up at the neighbours houses when I load them and he just sits there watching TV or playing on the swing.

Another strange thing happened to Orlando Centawski when he was swimming, he stood on the water and played his handheld - very biblical!

This whole thing is driving me nuts - I'm unfortunately pretty much PC illiterate so feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall!  Is this the right forum for this sort of post by the way?

Hi, this is my first time to this site, I decided to drop in and register after having so many problems with the official Sims2 site. I'm still finding the navigation of this site a bit bewildering and the terms used to describe the topics/threads are a bit arcane to me so I'm not sure if I have posted in the correct place?

Anyway - I have both EP's and since installing Uni I have had the blank icons bug which after some investigation I found was due in part to the evil remote control car.  I removed the car from all lots but still got fed up with all the glitches so stopped playing until Nightlife was released.  I uninstalled Sims2 and Uni and then reloaded (what a nightmare trying to reload Sims2 - but that's another story) again this time with Nightlife.  The bug was gone!  I had also downloaded the latest patch from Maxis (pre Xmas Party Pack) and thought my troubles were over, are they hell!

I have the missing wants icons again!  Orlando Centawski who recently graduated from Uni now has his avatar icons blanked out - he looks like he's been dipped in flour. I have quite a lot of other quirky goings-on too like the gardeners sitting on the swing all day that started after I married Leo Depiesse off to one of my sims, sometimes two or three gardeners show up, it's driving me crazy!

I can get no useful information from the Sims2 site - can anyone direct me to some relevant topics so I can hopefully cure my game?  Many thanks!
