[Anna33]

The broken marriage problem can be fixed by having the spouse move in after marriage.(or before.)afer the spouse has been talked to then eventualy a message will say sim thinks sim is being socialable then they have the option to move in. Then they can change their last name at the city hall.

I can't seem to force career opportunities anymore. When I shift+click the building the only option I get is to delete it. It's been ages since I tried to do this, but does anyone know if this is a bug that's been around for a while or if it came with this patch? Or if it's a bug at all, and not just me being thick? :-)

Is the rabbit hole a combined rabbit hole or not? If it is, that's not really a bug since you can't choose which area of the rabbit hole (eg School or Stadium) to select. It's always been that way, since LN.

The founder of my dynasty just called in "Fake Sick"  I usually have him take 5 days unpaid time off every chance he gets just because but this time the new option appeared and I had to take it.  This had to have come with the patch.   Anyone else notice it?

Fake sick?? Lol that's great! I have to look for that one.

I think you could do it before with dramatic sims... but now I'm unsure.

I didn't read the entire thread, but I noticed after patching up, I can pick up space rocks, but I can't analyze them. My witch was able to convert them to something else, but I like trying to find all the rocks.

I noticed this too. What the heck, EA?

the problem with telescopes, space rocks etc is coming from the addition of Aliens in the Seasons expansion pack.  The developers created the code without checking if it will work without the expansion pack and then released it as Patch 1.42.  Messing it up for people who a)don't have seasons and b) aren't getting it.  No doubt at some point they will fix it and release another patch with fixes.

Oh great.  At least I know it's not just me.

I saw it too on the phone options. But it was on a new Dynasty save and I was too scared to try it. Good to now that it didn't explode your save though, I might satisfy my curiosity and try it now. Is it like the unpaid time off, or are sims paid when then call in sick?

[Ricalynn]

I think he got paid.   I don't remember now.  I think Artie is going to have to be fake sick again sometime soon.

Weird thing. I was mining last night and found 3 rocks, and he was able to analyze them. So I'm guessing if you just find them you can't, but if you mine them you can?

On the issue of sunken sims, twallan had said it is the clothes that they are wearing.  I found this to be true,  when one of my own sims came home from work and was sunken,  I sent him to the dresser and had him change clothes, problem solved.  Only thing is, when you see sims in town like that, you can't very well make them change clothes.  From what I gather, it is something to do with the coding of certain clothes, not sure if it is only work related clothes, but it seemed to fix mine when he changed them.  Maybe after Seasons, it will be resolved.  This patch has so many different codes that is related to Seasons, so hopefully, some things will be fixed.

[sdhoey]

I have found that just sending them to the dresser and coming right out solves the problem. Not once have I had them change clothes.
