Well, well.... they seem to have stopped running everywhere?!

I'm now gonna grab the latest AM, and keep my fingers crossed it doesn't get broked again.

Happy bunny at the minute though, oh yes I am.

Yes really, although I did find it myself about 5 minutes later. Thanks anyway.

If only I could say the same thing!

Thanks anyway, in advance

I've been searching and searching for this

Now then, what do I have to do/type exactly, because I can't find the information anywhere?

Exactly

And yes, I'm using the latest version. I'm always using the latest version.

It is a bad thing because it looks fucking stupid, Pescado! Would you run round a bed?

But anyway, I have tried that - it doesn't appear to be having any effect. One sim stopped running using that command... then she went off to build her charisma skill! Argh! I have also tried resetsim, no luck there either.

I'm now going to try banging my head on the bloody desk.

I have posted about this before, but as I have still got the problem, and it's totally ruining the game, I thought I would post it again.

I'm running the base game only (as there is no way on God's green Earth I'm giving EA another penny for this rubbish), patched up and with the latest AM (I re-download before each play). I have some store CC, but no other mods at all.

With AM story progression enabled, there is a 'thing' (?) called one-shot commander that sends my Sims off to build skills while I'm playing another household. As soon as this appears in their action queue, they are hit with this running everywhere syndrome.

Example: I'm playing A.Nother household. Across the street, Harry is sleeping in his bed. A story action notification appears telling me Harry is going to skill logic. So I switch to Harry's house, and Harry's asleep. The one-shot commander is queued up. I cancel it, wait for Harry to wake up... When he does, he makes his side of the bed, runs round to make the other side, runs two tiles to reach the dresser, and etc etc. Harry will never walk again, unless I evict him and move him back in, which isn't really a fix as the same thing will just happen again as soon as this fucking commander launches.

It isn't just Harry though - it's every single sim that is left to it's own devices for a bit. As soon as it triggers, they become victims.

I've tried so many different things; new neighbourhoods, clean installs, no CC, poisonous gasses, default config. The same thing happens over and over, be it with the premades, or my own sims.

Just for the record, this didn't used to happen. It started after the 1.8 patch. And yes, I have tried running it without AM installed... I have no running sims then. Just alot of other crap, instead. 

So what is going on here? I seem to be the only person who has reported this, which I wouldn't mind, if only I could find a way to fix it/ get rid of this evil commander.

Help?

Oh that's excellent, cheers Pescado

I feel much calmer now.

Last week, I completely uninstalled every remnant of TS3 from my computer - having first backed up the folder that goes in My Docs.

I have since started a new game (with story progression off, until I can sort/bodge this running bug of mine), using the backed up folder.

One of my sims has written a book! And I was 'surprised' to find it for sale in the bookstore, as this didn't happen with previous games. But then I remembered that I'm not using a config file atm, so the surprise was short-lived, heh.

Anyway. In a previous game I had a writer sim who wrote alot of books... they all showed up in the library (actually, they ruined my library, as they completely took the place of every book that was there originally - would also like to know if that was supposed to happen?). I also had a Sim who only wrote one book - can't remember if this turned up in the library or not...

This one book has somehow found its way into my bookstore in my brand new game, and I'm not sure how? Or why? Or how to get rid of it? None of the books by my old writer si have reappeared, and it worries me (probably more than it should) that this one has. I'm 'guessing' it's somewhere in the My Docs folder, but where? I want to exterminate the bugger before it somehow manages to bork my game (if it hasn't already).

Can anyone help? Or at least tell me not to stress about it? Thanks.
