L&P: Bug Deadpool

Food serving issues in hotels and restaurants.

Haven't spotted these issues myself, but seen them reported on 4 different TS2 boards so far: food being served in a hotel room tends to vanish when it's placed on a plate already on the table. The sims are charged for the food, though.

I've also seen reports that food served in hotels only has 1/2 the food value, so sims have to eat twice as much to fill their hunger.

or even worse the sim doesn't even give birth, but stays pregnant for the duration of the holiday with rapidly-dropping needs ... 

that's been spotted, hasn't it?

[dizzy]

I sent my sims to the Flaming Dragon and the dining there was beyond bad. Every time my sim would order food, either some kid or my guest (in the pet selector) would always steal the plate. Nobody could actually *eat* anything in the restaurant. You either have to eat out at a bar somewhere or order food to be brought to your room.

Not sure if this is an EP bug or hack related (I doubt it, though: most of my hacks were taken out of the game at this point), but after I exited the game after taking a very pregnant Sim on vacation, when I returned to that lot later, the painting she was nearly finished had disappeared entirely and she suddenly appeared to have her first baby pop when she was already in her third trimester.

When one of my sims ordered some flapjacks, he was served noodles.

So much for hotel restaurants. My sims had been out for the day and came home rather hungry. I sent sim witch to the podium and had her 'be seated'. She sat down. The other six sims were left milling around. Say what? Each sim had to individually ask to be seated. Of course there weren't enough tables and all my sims were at a table on their own. Trepie nearly died of hunger until witch kindly gave up her lobster thermidor. My last 3 sims couldn't even get a table because some stupid vacation sims were taking them up. I ended up manually lifting all their bars so I didn't have a mass starvation death on vacation.

I presume it would work if I made a group, but that just seems ridiculous for a meal together.

I've now gone round and put a grill on every accommodation lot.

I think it's probably bad form to toot my own horn, so to speak, but B just confirmed they use the pool ladder animations to get to swimable depth in the ocean.

So I score a point as well.  YEAH!!!

What was the prize again?

[Aggie]

You know how Sims tend to halt all current actions and reset to having all motives except bladder at full (bladder being at half full) when you install a new EP or patch? Yeah. That's happening every time I close the game and re-enter a lot later on. >=(

Also: for some reason, whenever I have a Sim drink eggplant juice, they'll occasionally get the maxed skill icon above their head even though they haven't maxed a blasted thing.

Really? I've only had one Sim enter the ocean, but he waded in on his own without 'climbing down' anything. How odd.

I believe the word you were searching for is "reset". 
The thing is that this isn't happening to anyone but you, and you are testing a number of hacks. This is not a Maxoid bug. In fact, I doubt that it is a bug at all. I bet after you close the game (or before you open it again the next time) you're updating your hacks. Some hacks will cause a reset when installed. If this is not the case then you probably have some sort of hack conflict. If it does turn out to be a conflict then I am sure that you already know how to find the cause, but if you need any help I'd be happy to offer it.

Ahhh, I never knew that hacks themselves could cause Sims to be reset. Thanks for the info.

I've had that happening frequently in my uni/NL/OFB game.

[eevilcat]

I thought that happened if there was some sort of decorative object on the table. The outside seating at the Crypto whatever nightclub that came with NL has that problem.
