Wierd occurance during fulfillment of LTW
« on: 2006 November 19, 02:29:16 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

   I've noticed the result of this occurance for some time, but just now saw what was happening.
   First off, i don't have Pets EP.
   A sim fulfills his LTW and he immediately loses all of his influence points.  It's not a big deal or anything, it's just wierd.
I took a series of 3 pics at my Yahoo photo album -  (Yahoo only accepts .jpg, i don't have a .gif service)

                      http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/gayjohn104/album?.dir=/a5fcre2

   There's an odd neg amount above the sim after his LTW is fulfilled.  He does get the asperation points.  I've just never noticed this until a few weeks ago, which could be about the time i installed OFB. 
   Is this a known bug/normal?  I'm not that worried about it, it's just 'strange'.

Normal. It's a rollover bug from the 5x influence perk. When you fill an LTW, you get 10K Influence for it, but the 5x perk bloats that to 50K, which is far too much for a 16-bit signed int, so it overflows and becomes negative.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.

   I had a funny feeling afterwards that the 5X was the culprit.  As i was posting the pics, i noticed the 5X.  Later on i went and checked my most recently LTW'd sims and the evidence started adding up.  I do appreciate knowing for sure tho.   Smiley
