Martial Arts Problems
« on: October 28, 2011, 02:30:45 PM »
My sims have been having martial art skills problems.

In China, someone interrupted him right as he gained a skill level, so he never got a new belt. Even though he is a level 5 martial artist, he is practicing with the level 4 belt. Also, for some reason, I cannot ask my other Sim to spar with him. I thought it might fix itself when they went up another skill level, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Today, my second Sim who wasn't having problems got interrupted right after gaining a skill level and he didn't get a new belt. He just went up again and once more, no new belt.

Is there something I should do to correct this? Should I put them back down to the skill level that matches their belt and raise them up again?

You don't always get a new belt when you level up in Martial Arts.  There isn't a belt color for each level if I remember correctly.  I don't know how you would put them back down to a different skill level as I've never seen any cheat or game mechanic that allows that.   I would keep going for a while unless you continue to see other problems.

I'm moving this to the Miscellaneous Help board because it relates to actual game play.

There is one level that doesn't get a new belt.  I believe it is 6, but I'm not 100% sure about that (I'm pretty sure it's the one after the green belt though).

Just a question, though:  how are you getting interrupted?  Typically, when you cue up an action yourself your Sim won't cancel that action to do anything else unless you cancel it yourself or their needs drop to the point to where they are no longer willing to do it.

Maybe I was just wrong about the belts. I was checking into it. There are two levels you don't get new belts, 5 and 7.

I think maybe I just assumed there would be a new belt and it happened to coincide with some NPC interrupting me. Someone in China asked for an autograph, and the policeman who arrested a burglar wanted to chat with me.

I have the Spar action on both of my sims now, so I guess this problem has resolved itself.

Thanks.
