I've had a couple of weird things happen on my email lot (Yes, I started one of those...wanted to see what the fuss was all about..lol) and wanted to see if these were oddities or normal gameplay experiences.
First, meditation. I haven't done much with this before, but from what I remember, a Sim who meditates used to have a decline in their aspiration level, even though their needs froze. However on this most recent lot, my meditating Sim's aspiration meter freezes as well as her needs. Needless to say, pregnancy was literally a breeze. Glitch or normal?
Secondly, relationships. My Simmies aren't losing friendships as fast as they were before. Did the rate of decay change with NL? Or is this some kind of weird bug with the lot?
I don't have any conflicting haks for either of these two situations that I am aware of.
This is only the 3rd lot that I've placed since getting NL. The first lot had the weird money issue which I replaced with the 2nd lot and it seems to be okay, so I'm really starting to doubt my sanity when it comes to "new" NL lots being placed...and wondering if they're all glitchy in some way. The last two were in Downtown, and this 3rd one is now in a Custom Neighborhood attached to that downtown.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Ivy
P.S. In regards to the email lot...once my guy turned elder, he can no longer pee on the bushes. So I bought him a money tree. Still will not pee on the money tree either. Good thing he's permaplat...his bladder bottoms out though before any of his other needs have dropped at all...it's ridiculous. All that time spent in the energizer just to keep him out of bladder failure!
