Trying to pick up something?
« on: July 10, 2011, 08:09:25 AM »
Sorry if the title is rather confusing..

My sim had a handiness skill opportunity to fix a stereo and then return it to it's owner. The stereo is now fixed, and I am trying to click and drag it into my sim's inventory so he can take it to his owner but I just can't seem to click it. When I click and drag, the game thinks I have clicked on part of the floor so the option to 'go here' comes up, or it thinks I am clicking on the stereo so 'turn on, work out, dance, etc' are my options. I just can't get the stereo into his inventory!
I checked with other items (dragging them into the inventory) and they all work as normal, it's just this stereo that refuses to move.

Do I have to invite the owner round or something? This is so annoying, and the opportunity has been there, uncompleted, for weeks. :(

Did you try to put the stereo into the inventory in Live mode?

You need to go to the Buy/Build mode, and put it in the family inventory. Then, the option to return the item should pop up where the opportumity objectives are. That confused me too first time I tried to complete that one... :)

I saw that swift change from Noddles to Noodles!  :D

I'm glad you solved this, I remember getting stuck on this.
