ESFP- I'm a speshul snowflake
|
As soon as my sim hit elder, he suddenly got a wish to see his daughter married. The only problem- she's already married. The guy has a good relationship with the parents, so I don't know where this is coming from. But then it got weirder. Grampa suddenly got a wish for his adult son to get on the honor roll. I just deleted the wishes. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it just a little programming hiccup?

I had two elders get wishes to see their already married daughters get married. What I found interesting was that both elders rolled these invalid wishes at the exact same time.

The worst I'd had was Adele Windsor, who kept rolling the want to break up with her husband Raphael after she'd witnessed her daughter dumping her boyfriend. Adele was insane, though. She also decided to come on to Death when he took Raphael. Raphael, as it were, only ever rolled the wants to see his first two abandoned daughters get married. He never rolled the want for his other five daughters.

Now that I think about it my elder sims keep wishing to have a baby… One of them actually wishes to have a baby and become a grandparent… and he hates children. I love sim-senility. |

I had this happen with some elder sims, and I figured it was just a harmless glitch. It's funny if they put in a hidden trait to make elder sims forgetful. Useless, though, because there's no way I'm breaking up a marriage and getting sims married again just to get a few more lifetime achievement points for a sim who doesn't need any more.

I had an insane Sim keep wanting to break up with his wife, but he wasn't an ellder. I finally got mad and did it; worthless so-and-so didn't deserve such a fine wife.

I get little things in my game that make me wonder...
I have one sim that always gets a wish to learn how to make a particular food only immediately after they cook it for the first time. After his wife has her baby and is no longer pregnant, he rolls a wish to talk to her belly. Toddler aged up to be a kid and he suddenly wanted to potty train him. It's like he's living 15 seconds in the past.

I love sim-senility. Yep, I had an elder wish to have a baby, too. She was 89. She died the next day. |

My elder Sim-self kept wanted to have babies (she had 6 as a YA/A). When I examined the wish more closely, adoption counted. I did not, however, let her adopt. She might not have been tired, but I was.

Yeah, that's what happened. They both wanted to see Francesca get married, but only the guy wanted his son James to get on the honor roll. Weirdest thing. |

I get some of these nonsensical wishes, too. I chalk it up to laziness on EA's part. Stupid EA.

I can see a family sim wanting to have babies even into elder hood. Do you know if adoptions count to fulfilling that wish?

When sims have the 'insane' trait, clearly you can see when you hover over the trait it says 'don't expect your sims' wishes to make sense'. Something along those lines. I don't think it's a programming hiccup at all.

My non-insane elders have rolled up some of these nonsensical wishes, like getting their already-married children married. And they had an unmarried young adult son at the time, too. Why didn't they focus on him instead?

My elders who got the wishes to see their already married daughters get married are also not insane.

It seems like sim parents pick favorites. Whenever I've had twins, immediately each parent starts rolling a bunch of wants to do stuff with one twin. Sometimes they pick the same twin, sometimes different, but they always focus on one. When sims have the 'insane' trait, clearly you can see when you hover over the trait it says 'don't expect your sims' wishes to make sense'. Something along those lines. I don't think it's a programming hiccup at all.
Except that neither elder is insane. I never said that, and I would have mentioned it. |

None of my sims have had the Insane trait (yet), but the elder sims do seem to get some bizarre wishes. It wouldn't surprise me if this "senility" was just EA's idea of humor.

I've had this happen with adult Sims (close to being elders) regarding their already-married YA children. And yeah, always happens to both parents at the same time. And neither are insane. Pretty sure it's a glitch.

I've played a household (Sekemoto's) with an Elder who hears music in her head all the time and gets a pretty decent positive moodlet from it all that time. It's the only house w/ an Elder I've played so far and it has me wondering if there isn't some kinda dimentia in the game (which, if true, would be pretty sweet). |

I don't think it has anything to do with dementia, I had a young adult female who also constantly had the Good Music moodlet as well.

I've had the same show up with a pair of adults, and it happened at the same time their stereos started bugging out. I'd attribute the perma-moodlet to a bug rather than an intended effect. One of them eventually stopped having it permanently, I haven't been able to figure out how. |
