L&P: Bug Deadpool

[J. M. Pescado]

So everyone loves to babble about Lies and Propaganda, but here at MATY, we focus on the reality.

So here's the challenge: Predict the BUGS and FEATURES THAT FAIL TO MATERIALIZE as seen in the LIES AND PROPAGANDA. Winner is the player with the highest number of correct unique bug and omission predictions. A feature omission must be backed by evidence that said feature was either promised explicitly or strongly implied by official propaganda images and/or text. So go for it: PREDICT THE LIES AND PROPAGANDA.

[Gamblor]

WOW! This will be a challenge. hard to choose from when there will be probably so many of these buggies popping up everywhere in this new ep . Just betting to see which old ones from seasons like say the happy go lucky lighting strikes bug will de fixed or not.

[J. M. Pescado]

You have to predict NEW bugs, not old ones! Everyone knows they don't fix the old ones.

[witch]

Food serving issues in hotels and restaurants.

[Emma]

Random buggy crap caused by deaths on vacation lots.

[Gamblor]

To much Woo Hoo advertisment in camping tent bug.

[Gamblor]

Hmmmmm That could be a good bug

Aging on or aging off?

A romantic getaway could lead to pregnancy.  If aging is on, do they spend the rest of their vacation with a screaming baby (since there's no guarantee this Seasons glitch will be fixed ... and if is, they'll probably break it again the L&P) who never ages into toddler, or even worse the sim doesn't even give birth, but stays pregnant for the duration of the holiday with rapidly-dropping needs ...  Or if aging is on, can the babies age to late teens without ever attending school?

I'm betting we won't get an ocean to go with our tropical island. Notice how the screenshot of sims tanning on beach towels conveniently shows no water at all, just sand. They'll withhold real islands to force us to buy Life Stories: Castaways.

I'm also betting we won't get anything that takes advantage of the weather we got in Seasons. Forget skiing. Forget snowboarding. Forget a mountain location where you can do anything aside from the camping already shown in the pictures.

Lastly, I'm betting the way you turn into Bigfoot is by getting mauled by a bear, which will be the stupidest thing ever, though not a bug per se.

that bug did get fixed in the (first) Seasons patch (they are still working on the second patch apparently)

Uni: YAs will not be sent back to Uni after vacation, but to the main hood -> game crashes, because there is no home to return to.

General: Sims will get a malus for not attending work, though there is *no* way to go to work from the vacation lots.

General: Items sims purchase / win / whatever will disappear from inventory as soon as they are back home.

OfB: Profit from owned vacation lots will be deducted from the family funds.

[phyllis_p]

I don't know if this counts, but assuming the L&P second seasons patch fixes the piano, I bet BV breaks it again. 

[Skarlath]

What about if you have pets? I'm sure there will be a lot of bugs dealing with pets. For example: You take Fifi the poodle along for the trip. You come back home and Fifi is gone.

I'm pretty sure pets will get stuck on vacation lots. Poor Fifi.

This could actually be a useful feature

1. Babies and toddlers are not allowed to go on vacation, by design. However, when a sim calls to invite another household on vacation with them, the ankle-biters show up and are not interactable. Since no social worker can come to vacation lots, the buggers die. Could be good, could be bad. Could be a new way for the Oversoul to enforce population control.

2. Increased chance of food poisoning on vacation lots = more dead simmies.

3. The firepit has a small chance of igniting sims by design. However, they bork the probability and pretty much every sim that comes within five squares of it ignites.

Using new pagoda-style roof causes random lots sharing the same 'hood to somehow spawn pagoda-style roofs as well, like a plague.

 

[MistyBlue]

Or, pagoda roof reverts to normal roof every time you exit and re-enter the lot.

Ninjas will be running around non-Asian hoods.
Boats and Van tours will disappear off screen and never return, but only under rare and certain circumstances.

[Li'l Brudder]

How about this major probability:

Problems occur when send a sim to and bringing a sim back from vacation and the lots enter in build mode, like the OFB bug.

[vilia]

Your kid sims will be unable to escape hugs from the MASCOTS OF DOOM - they will get stuck and end up dying a sad and miserable death while their parents look on in horror.

[Venusy]

If you don't have OFB, the ninja outfit will show up incorrectly (or not at all) due to a missing mesh.

[SaraMK]

And if you do  have OFB, you'll get them twice. Because we all love mascot outfits sooooo much.

Just thinking aloud here... 3 destinations = 3 new sub-hoods = triple the NPC/townie spam.

New NPC type(s) will be introduced with borked DNA. Your game will collapse in a BFBVFS if one of your simmies romances one of said NPCs and brings them back to their home hood.

You are forced to play your vacation in its entirety as the save outside your home hood facility will be broken resulting in loss of precious sims.

You leave the rugrats at home in the care of a nanny who promptly disappears as you're not at work. Return home to find nasty note from social worker and no rugrats. Social worker returns an hour later to claim any children that were on vacation with you.

Most vacation activities take place outside, which is likely to prove fatal in combination with Seasons weather. Tents will attract lightning like moths to a flame and will not provide any protection from the elements so expect lots of frozen/overheated sims.

*gags*

And I'm betting they'll be extra creative in the method by which these NPC's will get dumped into your neighborhoods, meaning it will take me that much longer to figure it out and squash it.

Let's see, we have sub-hoods, stealth sub-hoods, occupied houses getting dumped in the bin... what next, EAxis, what next, I ask you?

(actually, I don't really want the answer to that  )

[Solowren]

How about:

Game crashes immediately upon loading.

All Sims die.

That sound EAxis-y enough.

[Zazazu]

Bet ya the new pedophile NPC's are just like the drivers in that they don't really "exist" persay. But the kiddies will use the tombstone to add them to the family and come crying to the BBS.
