Vanished LTW after completion
« on: October 17, 2012, 02:50:41 PM »
This is odd.  My second generation character completed her LTW and instead of turning into a metallic "completed" icon in the LTW box, it is now entirely blank, as though she never had a LTW to begin with.  Anyone encounter this before?

I've seen it too, but it makes no difference aside from how it looks in the sim's panel, so I can safely ignore the icon going away.

Very widespread occurrence and nothing to worry about.  It happens to me in almost every game I've ever played.  And it will randomly show back up, too.  You got the points for completing the wish and you can't choose another one so it's just a graphical error with the game.

This happens all the time in my games. I have a feeling that at least traveling brings the LTW 'plaque' back, but I have not tested this.

The usual reason for this happening is that your sim stopped doing the required task. Say your Sim had the Swimming in Cash LTW. They complete it and get the points. You spend the money, BAM blank. Get the 50,000§ required and the regular greyed out LTW comes back.

It makes a weird kind of sense, but for me it usually happens with the renaissanse sim LTW, and then it doesn't explain it.

Happens regularly to me, but it always comes back greyed out.  You get the credit when it vanishes the first time, so I have never given it much thought.  Occassionally it vanishes again and eventually returns for no obvious reason.   It does not seem to me to be linked with any specific LTW.  Actually, I would be happy to see it gone completely and permanently once the wish is completed, the greyed out wish looks untidy!
“In this world, there is nothing softer or thinner than water. But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal. That the weak overcomes the strong, that the hard gives way to the gentle -- this everyone knows. Yet no one asks accordingly.”

I don't really think that's what happens.  Once the LTW is achieved, the points are awarded, and the game isn't going to take it back regardless of what your Sim does.  May I ask where you got this information?

Sorry for the late reply, Pam. I got this from one of my Simmies. But, this was on the LN patch, so it's probably been fixed since then.
