Patch 1.42

[Ricalynn]

I found some code involving the attraction system

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<base>
  <Current_Tuning>
    <kAttractionPhoneCallChance value="10">
      <!--Range: 0 - 100  Description: Chance per day of an attraction call from an NPC to a selectable sim asking for a date-->
    </kAttractionPhoneCallChance>
    <kAttractionLTRThresholds value="-10, 50">
      <!--Range: -100.0 - 100.0  Description: LTR range for an attraction gift/love letter to be sent from an NPC to a selectable sim, [0] is the minimum value needed to consider it, [1] is the LTR where it hits the max value specified by kAttractionGiftLetterMaxChancePerDay-->
    </kAttractionLTRThresholds>
    <kAttractionGiftLetterMaxChancePerDay value="10">
      <!--Range: 0 - 100  Description: Max chance per day for an NPC to send an attraction gift/love letter.-->
    </kAttractionGiftLetterMaxChancePerDay>
    <kDateHoursToCallAfterWork value="1, 3">
      <!--Range: 0 - 100  Description: For date calls during work days, the time after the selectable sim leaves work in hours for the call to occur. Both in hours after finish time.-->
    </kDateHoursToCallAfterWork>
    <kAttractionDateRejectThreshold value="3">
      <!--Range: 0 - inf  Description: How many times the player has to reject attraction date calls from the same NPC sim before that NPC sim will give up calling.-->
    </kAttractionDateRejectThreshold>
  </Current_Tuning>
</base>
Makes me wonder how this will effect the Attractive LTR and if that will further the chances.

My sim did bring back fish from China. Yay!

However, he wasn't able to capture any assassin bugs there, failing 3 or 4 times. He is able to catch bugs at home. Also, there was an attractive sim at the base camp (my sim had the moodlet), but no autonomous flirting.

Finally, it's possible that the lunar cycle bug has been fixed, although I won't know for certain until I start up my game a few more times.

It's looking like the attractive LTR got a new icon to go with the new system.  Also - it seems like my witch with magic hands is failing a conversion spell every so often.

[Wiry]

I hadn't noticed the failing, but I did see a new Icon.

When I tried using the postcard feature, my computer blacked out and went to desktop.  I tried it one more time and the same thing happened.

[SimFreeek]

Could it be a DEP problem?

Well, playing the game in general, it has been crashing and I keep getting the microsoft error, more so after installing the patch and some after installing supernatural.  I think it is a computer problem, not sure.

My cook got an Opportunity to share food, a tomato, and as soon as she accepted it, it disappeared. No opportunity. Darn!

[Odie]

BTW, the Wolff household is still the same. The kids are still kids and its week 3 day 6. So it looks like the aging isn't fixed yet.

Maybe we have to start a new game to see that it is fixed?
Just like starting a new game solves the gardening issues.
Since I am going to start at least one new game I am gonna give it a try

That's been happening to me too. Since I got Supernatural my game has been crashing a lot more than it did before.

There is a crash log analyzer over at Mod The Sims by FordGT90Concept that will let you know the reason for your crashing.  I've been using it for a while now and I think it's finally got me to understand the reason behind my constant crashing.  It may help you guys as well to know.  It's at least a step towards understanding the crashes. 

They just recently updated and now I know it's the fact that my game doesn't recognize my graphics card!

I have that same analyzer Rica, I love it. Sadly when my game crashes, it tells me I STILL need more physical memory. *Sighs* I can't wait till I get my new rig after the first of  the year.

I kept getting the 'install more memory' reason too, but it turned out that my laptop was using the not so good integrated graphics card instead of the very good dedicated graphics card. after switching the default card, it runs much better, no crashes. the crash log analyzer, while helpful, doesnt always give the real reason.

Hello All! I just discovered another terrible bug related to the new patch, but one that can be avoided. When my sim changed into his graduation clothes to go to his graduation, I noticed that all of his lifetime rewards disappeared! You'll probably be OK if you just save up your points and don't buy any lifetime rewards before graduating.

Hopefully some of these bugs will be fixed before the release of Seasons.

Wow, that is extremely good to know! Potential disaster averted! Frustrating not to be able to use the points, though.

That sounds good. I'd like to have that. It would be nice to have an answer when I scream "Whyyyy?" at the computer.
