Buydebug Works in Ambitions, Too
« on: June 06, 2010, 05:21:06 PM »
Anyone already noticed this? Buydebug works in Ambitions to and provide the player with a lot more objects now. Most of them are inventions, scuptures and even rewards your sim will get after working him- or herself up to the top of their new careers. I don't use that option when I play in live mode, but I used a few of those buydebug objects to make my Exhumation lot, which you could download now here if you like: http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/LETO19857/mystudio.

Look for 'Opgraafplaats het fossiel', which is Dutch for Exhumation, the fossil. I've painted a little archeopteryx skelleton on the ground. :P

I was basically wanting to let people know that I found out, quite by accident that buydebug can cause some unwanted problems.  I had used this in the past to get spawners and with each time I played this game something always happened and finally had to move my sim family out and into another neighborhood.  Anyway, I wanted to get something and did not want to go on vacation, so I went into buydebug just to purchase a gnome and the snake charmers basket.  I turned it back off and went on to play the game.  I went to central park and what shows up, but all of the spawner boxes for the fish, seeds and butterflies.  I thought, well, that is no good, so I experimented and just went out of the game, no save and went back into the game and to central park and they were gone.   Also, before I went out, I had switched from central park, back to my sims house and it flickered black and white.  I have not had any problems with my game, except the glitches and bugs that everyone else has, but nothing else.  I am quite convinced that the buydebug has some problems.  My sister had the same problem with spawner boxes showing up all over the place too.  Needless to say, there is nothing that I want that badly to use buydebug again.  If it works fine for other people, then that is great, but if you use it and things start happening, that has not happened before, then buydebug might be the reason.  Just wanted to give a heads up. :)

Yes, this has happened to me as well.  It doesn't bother me and it doesn't happen every time.  It didn't correct itself when I turned buydebug off, nor when I disabled testingcheats, but I do believe it was fixed when I restarted my game.

Most of them are inventions, sculptures and even rewards your sim will get after working him- or herself up to the top of their new careers.

I think that Carl used this when he was writing the sculpting guide, how else would he have known about the dragon topiary when his sim hadn't made it yet...  But yeah, it's pretty awesome.  ;D  I do use buydebug every once in a while so I don't have to bother travelling, which is sometimes more trouble than it's worth.

All those white boxes you mention are the common spawners already included in the game, and they show once you have turned buydebug on. They only go off when you restart the game, but you can save just normally and they won't be there when you come back.

I suggest you never use/buy any of the items on the last tab of the buydebug menu, which has key items such as profession trophies and pangu's axe, because they may bug your game. Otherwise, putting a spawner on your lot to avoid having to go on a huge trip is ok (that is, if you are ok with cheating).

When I first found out about buydebug, I went crazy with spawners on one of my big lots.  After that, that particular game went downhill the more I played it.  About the only cheat I use now is testingcheats and moveobject cheat.  I figure there is enough going on with the game as it is, if I can prevent a problem, that is even better.

I think I'm just gonna build a huge lot and throw in a bunch of spawners.
