So does anyone else have Bonehilda constantly interacting with their pets instead of working?

I wish Bonehilda would interact with my pets! I find their social needs annoying sometimes...she DOES interact constantly with the nooboos, waking them up from a dead sleep; I had to dismiss her because the toddlers were always too tired to learn their toddler skills. I heard someone else mention this on the forum as well.
I think Bonehilda is like other service Sims in that she has a few traits that spawn randomly when you buy her. For example, the first time I had her she was constantly doing this boxing mannerism that I think is associated with athletic. Due to certain things, I had to 'rebuy' her - and she doesn't do it anymore, like she's a different Sim. Maybe your Bonehilda has animal lover or something. I'd try to rebuy her and see if she behaves any differently...
I heard someone say that their Bonehilda went to a nightclub and didn't come back for three days. My Bonehilda did autonomously go to the park at one point. It's important to note that she can glitch and just stay still, but when this happened to me I was able to dismiss and reawaken her to fix it. So if she's not being useful, she might have glitched out on you.

She wouldn't leave the dog alone until she taught him all the tricks. After he learned all the tricks she's always trying to pet him but every time she tries he bites her. But he probably looks at her thinks. Yummy, bones. :)

Unlike others here, she doesn't endlessly prepare food for my family, but bar drinks. I had a hilarious realization the other day that my favorite Sim has developed a drinking problem over the past few (human) months. He never went near the bar in the beginning, then one day he tried it. For the next week he'd prepare drinks once in a while. Then it became all the time... Now I can barely keep him away from the darn bar when I leave him on his own! Enter Bonehilda, who obviously realizes that the master of the house has no use for autumn salads. ;D

I only played with Bonehilda once... she was too inefficient (I like cleaning to be quick), but that could be because the lot I was in somehow had roaches that wouldn't die.

But anyway, yes, Bonehilda - sadly I haven't been able to fully play yet as I forgot to lower my graphics after reinstalling all EPs through Generations, and then installing Supernatural & Pets so my game crashed to desktop right after making a witch in CAS (luckily I had saved her shortly before it happened). Assuming I don't have to upgrade my RAM too (crossing fingers), one of the first purchases I plan to make is Bonehilda so that my werewolf won't need the neat trait and can focus on cooking and gardening for his evil witch mistress, hehe.

Roaches in Sims 3?
I shouldve explained that better. I moved into a lot in twinbrook that got the insect challenge. The guy who comes to take the bugs didn't get the roaches for some reason. When I used bonehilda, she spent all of her time trying to kill them and failing, hence her ineffeciency.

As sdhoey said, there are indeed roaches as a collectible insect (although why anyone would want to collect roaches is beyond me). But I've never seen those swarms of roaches that used to appear in the earlier Sims games. And I don't think I've ever seen them on a residential lot either.
I have noticed in Moonlight Falls that there is more roaches than any other insect and also that every lot that I live in, both empty or pre-exsisting house has insects and gem spawners which in buydebug come under alchemy spawners.

Bonehilda comes running out and drinks everything in sight. I made a bunch of skill boosting drinks for the 4 household members and Bonehilda chugged them all down before anyone, including the mixologist could get to it. I have to make sure they are all right in the room as they are made or that Bonehilda is dismissed.
I have noticed that if she is out for an extended period of time, she eventually disappears. I try to dismiss, but it doesn't do anything and she doesn't reappear. I had to buy another one.

And doesn't do anything else? I half recognise this problem. Bonehilda in my game does nothing but checking out her beautiful face in the mirror. Don't know what else to do than to dismiss her.

I tell you, hopscotch (in real life) is null for adults. My grandkids kept wanting to do it and exhausted me. I never liked the game as a child. So, your sims aren't missiing out on anything. Have them do something else (pool is cool, or arcade games). My brother taught me pool from the age of 5 and at 18, I was earning my car gas money at the bars.

I just saw Bonehilda stealing someone's clothes! I had a Sim skinny dipping in the hot tub and she did the tip-toe sneak, snuck through the garden area behind the hot but and swiped the clothes and went up to her coffin house. I wonder how many she has in there?
She's cleaning up and thinks clothes on the floor are "messy". Happens to my sims all the time, since one is a party animal and always skinny dips.
Post by: Susinok on October 07, 2012, 08:36:53 PM
Inside the house she does not pick up clothes, she ignores laundry. At least mine does.
You can see the clothes swiping screenshot interactions here, about 3/4ths down the page under Prankster.

I think I'm going to have to delete my Bone, at least until the kids grow up. Both of them are terrified of her and run away screaming. The cowardly one ran all the way down the street before stopping (poor thing had a really bad first day at the foster home, prank ends up backfiring, her caretakers are ghosts, the computer broke when she tried to learn logic, zombie attack, etc).
Anywho, I think I'll try it with another family, just to see their reactions.
Had someone run from a party because of her.However, the cat HATES her; but, she keeps the cat's social level high while my sim is away. Love/Hate relationship? She hasn't touched the bee hive; but, drinks all my sims drinks for the party. Found out (with mods) she is quite similar in personality to my active female sim.

My sim had her first baby and Bony wouldn't let the baby alone! And I had a heck of a time dismissing her. The baby was tired and mom and dad were tired; but as soon as they put the baby in the crib, she was there picking him up. I had one of the parents go over and she would put the baby on the floor and walk off. But as soon as the parent put the baby in the crib she would come over and the parent would step out of the way and she was picking the kid up.
It took forever to get her to dismiss, she would start to go and then turn back to pick up the baby. Took all night, but finally got her back in the coffin. Put it outside and built a wall around it.
She is great in cleaning and fixing objects, and she must have been chilled under that short outfit because she went to the fireplace and bent over, wiggled her butt and went "aahhhh", turned around, warmed her hands and went back to cleaning. The baby likes her, the parents will chat with her, so she is good except she wouldn't let the baby alone. At least she did give him his bottle.
The second one has been born and is ready to age up to toddler and the toddler is going to age up to child, both on the same day. I am going to let her out and see what happens.
She is so good at cleaning and repairs that I hate to lose her. But as soon as she is finished I send her to her coffin; so that could be why she isn't being a royal pain the butt in other areas.
Post by: Janna on October 18, 2012, 12:54:24 PM
I took “literary license” with the story in some areas, and the ending at the diner was mine added on; I had fun with that as I have always secretly wanted to write.
Tsalgai is NA (Native American) for Cherokee and the names are NA names, Aponi is butterfly and Chayton is falcon.
*************************************************************************************************
The Maid, the Thief, the Zombie, and the Sim
Chayton Tsalagi sat by the fire reading a book glancing up us as his wife, Aponi, arrived home from gathering mushrooms and beeswax for her elixirs. As they went to eat their supper of canned soup, they heard the mournful howl of a wolf and realized there was a full moon that night. After their supper they sat by the fire relaxing in the glow of the firelight for a chat. Time passed and they decided to retire for the night. They were not concerned or worried that they were in any danger from the creatures of the night; they felt safe in their home. Doors were locked and the maid was downstairs cleaning up.
As they slept a strange music begins to play and the maid stops cleaning. She leaves the house to go outside and see what is going on. There, on the corner of the lot is a man, dressed in strange clothes; black pants and a shirt with black and white stripes. And it looks as if he is trying to mimic a raccoon with that silly mask covering his eyes. The man is looking at her in defiance as she approaches him, not the least bit scared; he should be.
The thief looks at the woman approaching him in defiance, but his defiance changes first to shock and then to horror as he gazes upon the approaching being. He had thought it was a woman; he was sure as he saw she was wearing a maid’s dress. Although it seemed to be a strange outfit; red dress with a black apron and that funny hat; wasn’t the outfit supposed to be black with white apron, not red and black? But, although it seemed female, he realized it was a skeleton, bones and a skull looking grotesque with the maid’s outfit coving up the bones that was approaching him. What kind of being is this; that is coming toward him? He stands there, unsure what to do when she attacks him. He fights back but she is too strong for him, so he flees around the house, hoping to escape, maybe he can find safety in the house. Then, there is a blaring sounds and flashing lights -- he has triggered the alarms!
He looks over as another figure approaches him. What is this creature with its deformed body, twisted face and hands that are claw like? It approaches him and it raises it hands as if to attack; then screams at him. Enough already! He raises his arms and yells back at this creature. The creature pulls back and in the moonlight he sees a young girl, blond hair tied in pigtails. He yells again and turns to leave but approaching him is a police officer. But not to worry, this is the fairy one, one that all the burglars are laughing about. He runs past the police as the zombie, which is what the robber realizes the creature is, is left standing there with a confused look on her face. The police officer goes inside to talk to Mr. Tsalagi about the escaped robber while she goes onto the porch.
The police leaves and Chayton is standing on the porch when the zombie comes toward him, threatening him. He cowers in fear, terrified of the zombie approaching him. Then the porch lights come on and he stands up seeing that she is a young girl and are those pigtails she is wearing -- on a zombie? He shakes his finger at her, scolds her for being out so late and then goes inside hoping to get some more sleep. She walks over to the rocking chair to sit and think about what a horrible, confusing night it has been. Another zombie climbs the stairs and heads toward the door, but when he finds it locked he stomps his feet, yells and claws at the air, with his bald head shinning in the porch light. He then goes to join the young girl, sitting in the other rocker to wait for the dawn.
The sun rises, a golden disc in the sky, and the young girl dashes off; probably late for school. The man rises unsure of what to do but then decides to sit and rock some more; he is tired from the long, rough night and wants to take a nap. Meanwhile, the Tsalagi family is waking up, sleeping in due to the busy night. They plan their day; first a shower and breakfast and make sure the maid goes to her coffin. She deserves a good rest from the night’s events and they have some reading to do for their future careers. Then, who knows, Aponi hopes that maybe some afternoon delight will be in store for them.
The sun shines down on the peaceful town, looking as if it is a quiet place to live, no strange events that will disrupt a night’s sleep. A normal town where normal people live who have normal jobs, families and careers. The young salesman traveling through the town would never know that the person he is sitting beside at the diner is a werewolf. Nor that the woman who served him his meal is a witch and that a ghost and vampire were outside, under the shade of a tree, having a discussion.
They were talking about the rumors they had heard. One was of a skeleton that beats up a robber; such an event would be impossible. Who would believe that there were skeletons running around their town, ludicrous. The robber didn’t want to admit he had been scared off by a harmless maid. And then the other rumor, that the same robber had scared a zombie? That makes as much sense as law enforcement letting a fairy become a police officer. Shaking his head the vampire leaves to go home, frustrated that his skin has started to sparkle in the light. Who ever heard of sparkling vampires; it must be some skin fungus.

I'll never get another Boney. My cats hate her, and my kid almost starved to death, because she was always picking her up. PLUS, and all my parties, she drank all the drinks! I hate that you can't control her like you can a simbot.
My Bonehilda actually made friends with the cat after a while. She started out hating her but Boney kept feeding her treats. Mine does some of what you say above, but she also takes care of things. I do keep the bar in household inventory to keep Bonehilda and the teenagers out of it when there is no party.
Post by: Janna on October 26, 2012, 07:05:11 PM
What I have done, for the kids, is I send her to her coffin, then put it outside and hired a maid for the days it took for the baby to go from toddler to child (I have it set for 10 days). Then I let her out and watch the maid freak out and run out the door stating about how they aren't going to become one of the walking dead ;D .
I love that I don't have to have my sims waste time on repairs, or spend the money for repairs when it was too late or my sims were too tired to fix the shower or sink. And save the money for maid service. I hate doing housework at home, I don't want to have to do it in a game.
I think that I am going to create an area for the bar and for the sims family to sit and enjoy a drink and put up a fence and have it locked except to family. Or build a small room, like a walk-in-closet, put her coffin there and lock the door when I don't want her getting in the way.
Post by: Susinok on October 26, 2012, 10:13:12 PM
Pets, like a cat or a dog aren't that much of a hassle. Some how my witch converted an apple into an alligator in a bowl. So now we have a cat and an alligator and two kids. The family autonomously takes care of both without cutting into the essentials. I've never tried a horse. Someday...

Bonehilda appears in the friend list panel? Because that is what I haven't succeeded in.The only option I got was to chat with germ and that didn't even made her a acquaintance.
For the people who didn't know: Bonehilda is a actual sim. She doesn't change her clothes, that's why you don't see it. The only change is when you mod her into an actual sim and change her clothes, or when you see prevailing repairing an object.

Cougar? That's an animal right? Or is it a synonym for walking skelletons as well?

Oh, cool! You've accepted the date? That would be awesome. Most likely if it will become a relationship and you can marry her she will move in and you have her selectable. :)

After playing with her some more, I really like Bonehilda a lot. The only very annoying thing is that mine happened to have an unhealthy obsession with the hopscotch game, to the point where when I removed her from the court using MOO and went back to live mode to lock the doors for other reasons, she immediately ran back to play before I could get to the doors. I think I ended up just selling the hopscotch court. :P
That happened to me too. I guess Bonehilda likes to play hopscotch.

If you want to play hopscotch with your family, put it in a park and then Boney will do her job, because there isn't one nearby. All the annoying things sims are obsessed with, I put in the parks and not on my home lot. Then I send the family to the park to have fun; but, at home they study and do other things.

I use a mod that has map tags on everyone in town. I searched the tags and she was happily mixing and drinking. Couldn't get her to return home.

I had a Boney that I couldn't find and so I returned her coffin and bought another one. Then I moved the house across the street to a bigger lot. A couple of days later, I looked across the street and there is Boney, reading a book by the trash can. I clicked on dismissing her, but the one who went to it was the other one.
So, here she will be, standing out in the weather, hail, snow, cold and hot temps.
What surprised me was that I could return her coffin.
Anyone know of a way I can help her?
Post by: Susinok on December 01, 2012, 03:11:13 PM
When my Boney goes missing, I dismiss her, and then re-activate. She magically comes out of her coffin that way. The other night the front door was bugged somehow and she couldn't come in. It was not locked. I dismissed her, and activated her and she was fine again, with the front door and everything.

So I got rid of her and got another one, but she did the same thing, then started hitting on the husband! Yikes!
Post by: Janna on December 18, 2012, 08:58:24 AM
I got rid of her and three times the charm she has been a good boney maid.
Sometimes you have to just go through several maids until you find one that works out for your family. I have one that is great in everything, except the baby/toddlers. She won't leave them alone, she will give a bottle, change a diaper and play wih them, but won't let them sleep at all.
I dismissed her, she went into her coffin stayed there for a few mintues and then came right back out heading straight to the baby. I ended up waiting until she shut the door, paused it and then built a small room just big enough for her coffin as far away from the house as I could. Stuck her in it, she couldn't get out so just stayed in it. Returned her to the house after the last toddler aged up to child.
They all seem to have different quirks about them.
Just keep trying until you find one you like is my suggestion.

I am thinking of using edit town to place decidious trees outside of my lot, so she won't go and rake the leaves but I still get to see the nice fall colors. Have evergreens in the yard for trees. Maybe one or two very small trees in the front, but that would be all.
Lot less leaves to rake up. I want some for the opportunities that the kids get; raking leaves and then playing in them.

A MALE butler is betetr. Had it with female butlers who lazy as anything. But, had a male butler in previous games who did everything (even child care). He was a peach! Recently, my female sim only gets the female butler in town. She is lazy!Butlers cook anytime someone's hungry, even if they're vampires. I always have to lock the kitchen doors, with Bonehilda I don't. Plus she'll take care of the babies and clean. Now if only she could answer the door for the Sims.

Yeah, but Boney doesn't do laundry or cook.
I found a trick to make her do laundry, but she'll do it as the last part of her chores: drag a piece of laundry into the washing machine. She'll then go around the whole house and collect any remaining pieces. This trick is not 100% failproof, but better than nothing.
By the way, if you want to prevent Bonehilda from spending too much time with your babies, just lock the door to the room with "All but my household" as she doesn't count as your household.
Post by: thesimslover828 on January 18, 2013, 02:00:05 PM
Yeah, but Boney doesn't do laundry or cook.That's fine with me, I rather my level 10 cooking Sim cook, and I don't really use the laundry system. I thought it was cool until I found out every time they make nectar they put clothes in the hamper. If you go to the laundry mat and wash clothes there, you get the same moodlets without having to wash clothes all the time. Anytime a Sim changes their clothes the moodlet renews, even if it's gone.

Well, in mine, she is even worse than butler. Butler just cook when someone hungry. But, boney always took out and put on counter all the food when someone hungry. and she could do it TIMES.
At first, I didn't realize what she did until next morning I go to kitchen and there are still a lot of rotten food around. And where is the boney you ask? She keeps on trying to enter the room where I keep the baby and neglecting all her works.
She is as useful as a bag of bone.
Post by: Janna on January 24, 2013, 09:12:03 AM
Did have one where she took food out, but she put it right back in. I thought she was going to eat a meal, but she just set it on the counter, looked at it and then put it back into the fridge. She did this randomly, but she always puts it back in, so I ignored it.
With the babies and toddlers, I just dismiss her, move her coffin to another area; I sometimes put walls around her, just enough to close her in. If there is enough money I hire a maid, if not, then the family has the chores.
It is random on getting a good one or a pain in the rear one. I've have a couple that I just had to "returned" :D and got another one.
Did have one that finished cooking a meal twice, but I am sure it was a fluke, they were normal, and simple meals, waffles and mac and cheese I think was what was being fixed. Had to send the sim somewhere and she just went over and finished the meal.
I had been hoping that she would do it more often, had the sim walk away hoping to get her to do it, but just that couple of times.
Post by: cathyknits on January 24, 2013, 10:38:29 AM
As far as the infant - the best luck I had getting an infant away from Bonehilda without sending her to her coffin was to make a mess somewhere else, so she'll put the baby in the crib to clean up. Mostly I don't mind if she spends her free time snuggling the baby - it keeps the baby's needs high, since she'll feed and change diapers as necessary and she'll eventually put a sleepy baby in the crib. It's just that sometimes Mom and Dad want cuddle time, too... :)
I've seen Bonehilda spend a lot of time in this cycle where she'd get a book, put it down, and then put it away. Maybe she gets bored if she doesn't have anything to clean up, so she makes the least messy mess possible? :)

But, boney always took out and put on counter all the food when someone hungry. and she could do it TIMES.Butlers cooking never annoyed me, the queuing to eat annoyed me. To me taking care of the babies first before cleaning is good. Butlers will do the same thing. I've never seen Bonehilda take food out of the fridge. A simple solution would be put all the food in a WA chest, or make single servings. Bonehilda would even take care of dirty counters faster then my Sim would. The ice cream machine and the fryer make the counters dirty really fast. I like that she'll clean it almost the second it gets dirty. It's a shame the fridge can't be locked. Another reason I like Bonehilda not cooking, is if you place a patio/grill area and have the mini fridge with it she won't mess with it. Butlers will trying to cook food. I tried that one time, also if Bonehilda is doing something you don't like you can send her back to her closet, until you need her again. With butlers you can't do anything with them.

I just remembered something, wish I had a pic of it - I was giving the Big Brother challenge another shot, and I usually installed a hot tub during the contestants' non-skilling days. I knew some would skinny-dip and others would take the clothes of the skinny-dippers. All the thievery gave Bonehilda some ideas because she started in on the clothes-stealing shenanigans too. ::) It was amusing at first to see her giggle mischievously while picking up the pile(s) of clothes, but I ended up sending her to the coffin whenever the roommates started skinny-dipping after awhile.

Using Twallan's mods, I found out the traits and skills of my boney. Traits were OK (Brave, adventurous, friendly); but, she had ZERO skills. So using a mod, I gave her skills (cooking, handiness, gardening). BUT, she still did nothing but drink and lounge in the pool!
I'm waiting for either EA, or a modder to make her useful!

So Bonehilda has 3 traits, or are those just the ones you remember?
I find the Bonehildas and their various personalities fascinating. None of mine ever seem to anything except clean and return to their coffin. I wonder what would happen if you had more than one Bonehilda - would they fight over who got to pick up the dishes or use the mirror?

I don't know what you know about cheats, but you could try this one Control+Shift+C and hit enter. Type at top in blue section testingcheatsenabled_true just that. Hit enter. Redo the Control step and type in moveobjects_on and then enter key. See then if you can pick her up and move her. I did that accidently to one of my sims. Was picking up a chair by her and picked her up instead, so you should be able to do that if the resetSim doesn't work.
*Note* when finished with the cheats, always remember to do the moveobjects_off cheat, that is an important step.
As for Bonies, I have a bad habit of deleting games that I just don't feel good about, no connection to the family, I guess. I give almost every family a Boney, so I have had a lot of them.
Some good, some bad, some seem to have a set "glitch" in them, such as the take food out and replace it several times before going back to cleaning. I have no problem in just getting rid of an annoying Boney and trying another one. Generally I cheat with the motherlode to get my family started, so that and fast earning from collecting, writing and painting, I get more than enough money to buy and return a couple of Bonies.
Anywho, try the reset and see if that works, if not you can try the moveobjects_on cheats and see if that works (if memory is correct you have done something that got rid of Boney and the pool). But for next time you have a problem, you can try that.
And don't give up on Boney, they can be a big help, especially if you have a large family.

I've never had one age up, but I have only been playing sims for almost a year now (it doesn't seem like a year though) so I am sure that others can give better feedback on that.
*****************************
Glad to know about the baby and dismissing her. I have had to dismiss mine and lock up the coffin to keep her away from the babies until they age up to child. Mine's can't seem to leave the kids alone, even when they are crying because they are tired, she is getting them out and snuggling them.
Post by: Shirin on February 28, 2013, 04:08:39 PM
The only downside is if she's in one of the rooms where the son is, he'll flee. Even when he's sleeping. And he has the Heavy Sleeper trait (won't wake up for burglar alarms, but will at Bonehilda straightening up his room).

She is not counted as member of your household so if you want to "ban" her access to some rooms, just lock them with "all but my household" or such.

Her biggest facepalm moment came at the toddler birthday party, though. I did the "call guests to meal" interaction on the first birthday cake after the candles had been blown out, and Boney decided to grab a slice as well, though I've never seen her eat before. The dishwasher broke when she put her plate in it, and she promptly decided to repair it. ZZZAP! Cue fire and the guests uselessly going into panic mode around the dishwasher while she stood in front of it, motionless and even more useless. But no fear, the kids' mother is a Fire Chief, she has handled far worse! Right? No ... she refused to put down her toddler to put out the fire or do anything else. The dishwasher and the counter it was under went up in flames, but thankfully her mate autonomously jumped in to extinguish the flames just as the NPC firefighter arrived on the scene and admonished the family to be more careful in the future.
... yeah. That wasn't poor Joia's proudest moment. I expect her colleagues will tease her about it for a while. And I'll make sure to never let Bonehilda anywhere near a broken electronical device again. ::)

@Korva,
I apologize, but I fond that funny. I've had mine get electrocuted a couple of times, she looks weird, as if she is running around in her undies, or a swim suit. Boney, at a birthday party got a slice of cake but she put it in the fridge. The maid was leaving so she stopped by and did the same; got a slice, stood there and then put it in the fridge and left. Boney came back and took the leftover cake and put it in the fridge and went back to cleaning.
I enjoy my Boneys, except when there are babies and toddlers around. She gets put away then.

As for her little quirks, so far I've seen my Boney dear do an arm flexing pose (she's Athletic?), frequently check herself out in the bathroom mirror, clear dishes, clean the toliet, and make beds (definitely Neat). My sims have yet to chat her up since they're both working on getting skilled up to reach their LTWs, but I'll be trying that out as soon as I can. I'm hoping she'll be good with kids since I'm planning to marry off my man-witch to a townie who's got a child and another on the way...
In short, I really recommend getting a Bonehilda just because she's a nifty addition to any household.

I was gong to lock it up in another room, but it seems she is a household member, she can open up the doors locked to all except household members.
I'm guessing she can chat with the family members if she wants to, I fainlty remember her chatting with one of the sims (male) and also a child. Can't remember if they were from the same family though, so it could have just been one of those quirks that pop up from time to time.

Bonehilda was a bit annoying when I first got her, but then I discovered something cool, that made her much less of a pest. She likes to Jam!
So I have 3 Bonehilda's that each play a different instrument to go along with my guitar. We jam in the front yard and when I throw a party. At the party all my guests will stand around listening to them, enjoying the music.
See that's the trick. if you know she's going to be trouble, just start jamming somewhere out of the way, and ask her to join. She'll stop whatever she's doing and come jam with you. Then you can stop and do whatever(cook a group serving meal for instance) and you don't have to worry about her coming along and interrupting things. Just before you put the kids to bed, start jamming with Bonehilda out in the yard or garage, then leave her to it. Most of the time I have to tell her to 'take a break from playing' to get her back to her normal duties.
This also works to reset her if you need to, say, get her out of the pool. Jam with her, then take a break from playing and she'll usually go about her normal business.
It would have been very cool if I could form a band with them, but alas it is not an option. :( Still it does look cool seeing a vampire with 3 skeletons jamming in the yard. hehe

I just wanted to add a couple things;
First, Bonehilda will stop playing if there are no chores for her to do(make bed, mop, repair, clean, etc.) Easy work around is just give her something to do, grab a quick meal from fridge and leave it on the counter. With food on the counter, she'll now have a 'job', so you can set her up to jam, pretty much indefinitely.
Second: Bonehilda does get better at the instrument they play just as a Sim would, eventually maxing the skill and giving the +40 moodlet for their particular instrument.
Third: As a Vampire, at night you can Read Mind on Bonehilda and learn her traits that way. If you find traits you don't want, you can just dismiss her, sell her and replace her. You won't hurt her feelings. :D
I do not have any pictures at the moment, but I am thinking of taking a couple to share with you guys.
Post by: MoMoll on June 09, 2013, 03:07:07 PM
I love my Bonehilda's! yeah that's plural. I have 3, one in each colour set(Black and White, Blue and Yellow, Red and Black)

But does she do anything helpful for the house? yes, she loves to party (drink, play hopscotch, etc.). But other than that does she cook, do laundry, clean, etc. That's the reason I doon't use her anymore. She would clean up dirty plates, but never do laundry or cook. She spent most of her time boozing at the bar.
Have a butler now who does everything, even raking the leaves.

She rakes leaves in the fall also, which can be a problem as she then ignores the household chores. I just dismiss her, she comes inside to get into her coffin and then I awaken her and she will then clean the house and fix anything that is broken.
With babies and toddlers I do have to put her in her coffin and put it in an area she can't get out, box her in by taking the door off the room I usually build for her. She just won't leave them alone. She is always waking them up to hold and snuggled, coo and sometimes will give them a bottle, but not that often. She interfers in all areas with them; they can't get the sleep needed so they cry because they are tired. Which wakes up the parents so they can't get their sleep, so everyone is cranky.
I always get a Boney, and if she does thinks I don't like, or doesn't do her chores, which can happen, I just get rid of her and get another.
As for the bar, I quit having one of them, I can't seem to get my Bonies to leave it alone, they fix a drink, make a puddle which they then mop up, fix another drink and make another puddle which they then mop up, and the cycle continues. So, no bars.
I don't have party sims, no parties at my home, so it isn't a big loss for me, but for those who do, it can be a pain in the rear.
For me, the pluses outweight the negatives, so I like to have them around, never thought of having more than one though, good idea with you have a big family.
Strange how no one in the family freaks out when she walks in on them. Let one member walk in the bathroom on another member and they freak out and have negative moodlets. But Boney, they just ignore her and finish using the toilet and do the twirl to take the shower, with her in there.

Now her meals are very nice to excellent quality. As always, Boney has to take it up to extremes. She sometimes spends all day cooking meals and putting them in the fridge. But my Sims always have food to eat, so it works out well.
Also the same Bonehilda is walking like she is aged. She's stooped over and shuffles a bit. She still is first on the set when there's a bed to be made or a mess to be cleaned up. I have not seen this behavior before.

I have had only a couple of them cook a meal or two, and that was just finishing up a meal that a sim started and then I had them leave it for some reason. For me, it would be a pain, as I generally have one sim working on cooking skills, sometimes even being a chef so that would get in the way.
Next time I have a big family and a big yard with lots of trees, I am going in the fall to get at least two if not three Boney's to help with the leaves.

Also, I've found that when my sim is in the hot tub, she can ask bonehilda to join and then proceed to ask bonehilda to cuddle. The game also gives you the option to "make smooth move", "kiss", and "makeout" with bonehilda, however, the only one that's worked for me is the cuddle option and the "make smooth move" option. When I tried kissing her she rejected me (lol)
Here's a pic: http://tinypic.com/r/157gjsy/5
also, using the "testingcheatsenabled true" cheat, i shift clicked her and clicked "trigger age transition" and for some odd reason this is what she looks like now.

I read somewhere, don't remember where, that they can die, which I think is sad, you kinda get attached to them.
My cooking, aging Bonehilda DID die just a few days later! I was so upset. I had to take her tomb to the graveyard before another coffin would work on the lot. If I ever get the opportunity to revive a corpse, I think I may take her ashes to the science facility.

The biggest bugs concern children. If you have a playpen and she picks up the kid, they both get stuck and the only way to fix that is by resetting the sims. Mind you, if you do this there is a chance that your child will vanish from the game. I use overwatch to get the child back. The second bug seems to happen with all the cribs and can be quite annoying. Bonehilda will try to interact with the child and just stands there doing nothing, stopping any other sim from getting to the crib until she moves out of the way. Maybe the best fixes would be to *allow* Bonehilda to interact with the children, it would solve pretty much all issues I've encountered with her. For some reason she just isn't eligible to do so at all, beside picking them up from the playpen - which is a pretty nasty bug.

She gets one out, I had a parent walk over and she would put the baby back into the crib, move out of the way and then before I could get them to pick the kid up, she was back over there getting the kid out. Would take forever to get her away from the kids enough to send her to her coffin, if she had to pass the nursery and a kid was there, it overload the order to go to the coffin and she would head toward the crib.
Had to once use the move object cheat to move the crib out of the house, send her to her coffin and then I locked it up in a room minus the door. Now, before the baby is born I make sure she get her put up.
Frustrating, but the good of her outweighs the bad, I just hire a maid during that period of time.

I made some changes in your post to remove the scrolling. It just makes it hard to read and we prefer to leave any text at the default setting.

The most frustrating thing I had with it was the baby would cry because Boney had woke it up. Mom or Dad would go to the baby but she would get there ahead of them. Most of the time they would stand there and wait until she put the baby down and finally left. If they arrived at the same time, the parent would step aside and let Boney get the baby. She would put the baby down, leave the parent would follow the order to pick up the baby, put it back into the crib leave and Boney would go back in.
By then it is close to morning and I have exhausted parents with one who needs to go to work and the other is so tired they can't take care of the baby as they are always wanting to go to bed.
Lock her up and when the baby ages to toddler let her out; hire a maid or just have my sim do the cleaning.

Try getting rid of her and buying another one and see if happens again.

Bonehilda doesn't come as a lifestate other than "skele-maid" and so can't be a fairy (or any other occult) in normal play.

Have a game glitch. ;D

I had to delete the fairy Bonehilda because she kept casting "chattering teeth" on my sim. It was crazy ;D

I have another Bonehilda game glitch. She looks like a normal human sim, but just stands in Varg's Tavern drinking and wetting herself! :o
Bahahaha! Picture?

I'll try but my MAC doesn't seem to save the pics in the proper format to attach to the posting. It won't accept tiffs or pdfs and I don't know how to change to mp3 or 4.

A simple picture editing program (GIMP, maybe?) should let you save as/export as a jpg, gif, or png.

I'm using photobucket.com for photos. I upload them to photobucket and resize the 800 x 600 and it's worked out. You can crop them there too! I just figured all this out a few days ago so I'm not an expert. But, I hope that helped!

When I played yesterday Bonehilda (looking like a normal sim) left the tavern, got in a car and drove away! Somehow the game created a human-looking Bonehilda and I saw the normal skeleton one in the tavern as well! I'm busy with work today, but I'll still try to upload a pic at some point :)

I may be severely outdated, but I thought mp3 & mp4 were audio files, not pictures.

They are, but when I tried to upload a jpg, I got an alert saying that it wasn't the right format and to upload mp3, mp4, zip and rar which I thought was very strange.

I caught her sitting in a rocking chair reading the other day! And somehow she keeps getting outside even though all of the doors are locked to everyone but family.
I thought that was impossible. There must be a door somewhere that you forgot to locked.
Or perhaps it's just a bug.

I kept noticing that these weird water puddles kept appearing in the kitchen near the bar and Bonehilda's closet. Bonehilda always mopped them up, but I couldn't help but wonder where they were coming from. So, I decided to watch the kitchen for a sim day and see if I could spot the culprit.
As it turns out, my Bonehilda has developed a drinking problem. She makes herself a drink (or two or three...) at the bar and drinks it. But being a skeleton with no stomach, the drink just ends up as a puddle in the floor. Then Bonehilda laughs and claps her hands like it's the funniest dang thing she's ever seen, then mops up the mess.
