Late Night bugs & annoyances

[Inge]

Didn't you soup?

Yes I did, but I had to come back to see what people were saying about me souping.

[Skadi]

I really do have to wonder why the posts I'm making that give information on things are being removed. I guess nobody wants to know that peak hours revolve around happy hour, or that the cheat you use to edit apartment buildings doesn't work for everyone and there's an alternative. Somehow those aren't worth mentioning?

Perhaps if you weren't so unreliavole you wouldn't be having this problem. SEARCH MOAR.

Damn Borken Stupid UI, Gaais! No more custom Skins as they cause the stupid create a sim to act stupid, you wont be able to change skin colors, sex and you wont have new sliders. :/

[Zazazu]

Perhaps your custom title and enforced avatar might be a clue as to why your posts are largely assumed to be dross unless extensively proven otherwise.

I had the bug where all of a sudden my sim couple wouldn't go to work at the Studio. I deleted and replaced it since nobody else seemed to be going in either, and now she can go to work, but he just gets jump buggy and cancels. I've tried to fix and reset him but, eh, no luck. I assume he's completely borked.

I also get the same two places marked as hot spots every single night in map mode, but then when I go there, there's not a single soul. Not that there are ever more than one or two sims, three at the most, at any one time. -_-

Apart from that (and some opportunities being unfulfillable but that's really minor to me) it's not been the most bugged experience I've ever had. Yet.

I'm still using custom skins without any problem. I just removed Rez Delnava's UI mod and everything was fine. I created a new sim using one of LFB's non-default skintones. I just used the scroll wheel on my mouse to scroll through all my non-default skintones.

No, apparently someone is arbitrarily deciding which posts should stay and which shouldn't, and moving them elsewhere. There's a good four or five posts of helpful, unmentioned before my post information, that apparently isn't helpful enough (despite, again, being unmentioned elsewhere), which were moved. These include important information for functional apartments, made in a topic about building functional apartments.

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? What determines if information nobody else has posted is helpful or not?

You really should pay attention to your surroundings moar often. Perhaps the name of the thread in which your posts are ending up in is a clue as to what is happon. Id-10-t errors.

[brownlustgirl]

That guy just posted the same information in the Late Night Arr thread. Oh well, answered him there the same way, ShortyBoo.

[Roobs]

I've come across a really annoying problem. I'm guessing it's related to the new apartment system.

Basically, when going into Edit Town to edit community lots, it forbids me to edit anything outside of the building without disabling restrictions. I just get a "Homeowners association does not allow this" or "You cannot move, edit or delete anything outside of your unit" message, depending on what I try to do.

Anyone else had the issue of there being no books for sale in the bookstore of the new neighbourhood? 

[jezzer]

Anyone else had the issue of there being no books for sale in the bookstore of the new neighbourhood? 

Yep.  It's a hack conflict.  The hack from MTS to add the missing skill books causes it.  I took that hack out, and the bookstore was stocked again.

[Clair]

I don't have that hack, the only CC I use in my game is the stuff from the store.

[jezzer]

Don't know what to tell you.  It was that one specific file that did it to me, and taking it out fixed it.

[Zazazu]

Yeah, I obviously figured that out. What I'm not understanding is how useful, factual information isn't something people want to see.

I repeat:

Perhaps your custom title and enforced avatar might be a clue as to why your posts are largely assumed to be dross unless extensively proven otherwise.

Latest annoyance for me is the Home Owners crap. Went to Edit Town to build my own custom home, and the bloody Home Owners Association wont let me build! Had to use RestrictBuildBuyInBuildings False just so I could actually build anything on my own custom lot.

Do you have yourself on Ignore?   I'm seeing your posts ok.

No, apparently someone is arbitrarily deciding which posts should stay and which shouldn't, and moving them elsewhere. There's a good four or five posts of helpful, unmentioned before my post information, that apparently isn't helpful enough (despite, again, being unmentioned elsewhere), which were moved.

Didn't you read the rules of the Taderdome when you took up residency?  You did stop posting when you first made it your new home, and as far as I know the Witch hasn't changed the rules about what does or does not get moved.

[claudiasharon]

I can't get my sims to play any of the new instruments. They go up to it like they're going to play it, and then the jump bug attacks.

I took out all my hacks that could conflict and am stilling having this problem. What am I doing wrong? Did I miss something, because I usually do.

Edit: Nevermind, I missed one. It works now.

[Beldara]

My drummer never receives a tip when using "play for tips"

I've tried it in a few locations, some where other people are playing, others where she's the only sim with an instrument, and she gets flat out ignored universally.

Taking her bf sim the guitarist netted him several hundred in a short time, and her drum skill is higher than his guitar skills.

[poi_boi]

I noticed that Sims don't earn skill points whilst at the gym in Bridgeport.

I also had this issue but my sims were in a group at the time. When it was just one lone sim ungrouped it worked and he gained skills.

[bloodredtoe]

All people who complain about lack of sims in clubs - how good is your computer? With slower computers the game will allow less non-player sims on a lot, which I know from experience since I played the game on a crappy computer and I see a huge difference on the new computer.
I didn't observe the clubs being deserted. There's usually 3-8 sims there, it looks like usual npcs per lot in the sims 3. If there were more it would probably result in even bigger route failing horror.

Anyway, I too observed a sim being unable to fulfill opportunity at the bookstore, while that same opportunity worked for another sim in the same household. I'm also disappointed that my sim's band never gets any gig invitations and I have no idea how I'm supposed to solve this issue.

[kemowery]

I don't see this problem mentioned anywhere else, so here goes: After installing LN, when I load up a fresh neighborhood, it contains no residents.  There's no option to play a pre-existing family, and they're all missing.  I removed all my mods, and the problem persists.

I'm having the same problem.  The other sims are doing the animations as if they are giving tips, but my sim isn't receiving any money. 

The only mods I have are a custom skin, the new no-mosaic mod and the no-intro mod and AwesomeMod.

List of things that aren't available in the catalog with or without BuyDebug:

-Most skyscrapers (Two are available, the rest are completely missing)
-Apartment Mailbox
-Trash Chute
-Wall Speakers (I may be mistaken. I did spend forever trying to find them and came up completely short. Pretty big deal that these aren't buyable.)

Anything else?

[rum nate]

The wall speaker is under Buy Debug. It just doesn't have the Late Night icon, it's considered a base game item.

[Roobs]

Actually, the wall speaker should be under "Community Objects" as well. As it actually came with the patch, it has no speshul icon.

You can add the Food Truck Parking Space to that list...
