Re-using a sim with new traits bug?
« on: December 03, 2014, 05:15:20 AM »
Hi! I have had this happen to me a couple of times:

I have a sim with the active trait and when I start a new game, I load that sim from my personal gallery, change the traits to whatever else I want for the game (which would not include active) and I get the tense emotion at some point in the game, when I check why they are tense, it usually says "Not enough exercise (from active trait)" - which this sim no longer has.

It doesn't just happen with the one already created sim, but a few I have tested.  Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section.

Thanks guys!  ;D

I'm not sure about this, but:  If you load a sim to the gallery from a game, instead of right when you create it, the sim in the gallery has all the skill xp of the sim in the game.  Maybe whims/emotions carry over too?  I'm not sure how the active "tense" moodlet works.  maybe it starts a timer on that sim that gives the moodlet if it isnt fulfilled within a certain time limit?  Outside of that, no idea ;P

I thought that too, but when I checked on sims with other previous traits - it seemed ok for them.  I had one sim, Jaxon Cloudbringer, who was a child in my legacy game and he had only the one trait - active. I opened another file and grew him up to young adult, changed his traits to geek, genius, and cheeful. Saved him seperate from the old file and even changed his name - went into the brand new game and he was already at 16 days until aging up to adult and got the tense moodlet for not doing exercise.. so confusing! I tried so many different things.. I am guessing it must be a bug of some sort.. might have to go over to the official forum.. darn. Thanks for replying though dethdukk!  ;D

One other question, do they ever get the moodlet more than once?  or does it happen once then never again?
