Patch 1.55

[quinti.sims]

Wow this game is going to be my favoured one of them all . Can't wait 

[Ricalynn]

I see from Crinrict's list the bed is in buy debug.

Thanks Turoskel - Crin responded to me saying that and I'll go looking.  What's the purpose of it being there? I mean really

<i>Ut oh.   I just took a toddler to the library and it took them all day to learn the xylophone.   And it took 9 tries on the potty chair at home.  The child is a vampire.</i>

Oh, boo. Normal pottying is usually 4 tries, yes? If it also affects adults learning skills, that might have been the one thing EA could have done to the Fast Skill bug that would have actually made the overall situation worse... except that there are a lot of ways to increase a sim's rate of skill learning, and not so many to slow it down.

Yeah it's previously effected Sims it looks like.   This is not cool.   4 or 5 tries normally depending on the mood of the child.  I haven't tried with adults because that was my Life States Dynasty and I'm having trouble figuring out who was effected and who wasn't.    But 9 hours in the library?  That's outrageous as a vampire toddler in a library.   Xylophone is usually the fastest one next to the books.

[Turoskel]

I think I just found it, well put it this way I never saw this one there before so I guess it is the bed, but not what I expected.



A castaway bed maybe 

[Ricalynn]

That's the bed.   and yeah.. junkyard sleeping?

[DeKilte]

I predict that bed being used in a lot of rags to riches stories. It's perfect for the "I found this in the trash but hey, it's something to sleep on!" part of the story.

[Shirin]

Others will want to test this, but in Crinrict's bug list, someone had reported that using the ladder left a permanent 1x1 hole in the floor that could not be filled at all.

I tested it, I did not have that problem.

I think it is quite funny looking
I will think ill definitely use it in the sims 3 island paradise.
Have a nice day

I tried building a small house at the beach in Starlight Shores with the new stilted foundation. My first try I had the lot too far into the ocean; I could build the foundation, but couldn't place any stairs because they wouldn't go into the water.

My second try, I could place the stairs, but when I added an upstairs with a deck, I couldn't place a door going into the bedroom because the ceiling was too low. Also, I had to roof the upstairs manually because the second floor didn't register as a level.

Guys, I think I just got a career op from a combined rabbithole. (Specifically the combined hospital/science lab in Starlight Shores.)

I'll see if it properly completes, but if it does, that loud sound you'll hear is just me.

EDIT: Also got the Plumber and a Fisherman op from the combined public services building and it completed just fine.

[dontmindme]

I've been testing things on the vamp front and my vamp from a pre-patch game is not looking good. She's literally gaining no skills with skill books and very, very little with skill items even during the day time. It took five meals to get from a full lvl 4 bar to an empty lvl 5 bar. Just a heads up.

Am currently looking into whether not using a +skill item/location makes a difference.

I've been able to complete opps at combined rabbit holes since before the patch but it wasn't 100% consistent.   This is good news though and I may just have to raise a child in Moonlight Falls real quick.

Were these vamps experiencing the skill gain bug from before the patch? 

[Trip]

Completing non-career ops at combined rabbitholes has been hit-or-miss for me too. I was still pretty excited.

Oh, and the career op from a combined rabbithole completed successfully. I hope this isn't a fluke.

[Ricalynn]

Never had a problem completing career ops at combo, it was getting them.   I'm trying to not jump up and down in my chair.   


Edit:  Well - Joe MacDuff needs to go to a presidential debate and it's not an option.  Felicity MacDuff needs to do a ballet recital and can't.  Jules MacDuff was trying to work on some bridge and it's not there.

Still bugged.

[Tahilanor]

Does anyone know if the building bug has been fixed? That is, that makes it impossible to build a second story (with and without a foundation).

[Shirin]

I am unaware of any such bug. Pre-patch, I successfully built a 3 story crazyhouse on a foundation. (Unfortunately, I have problems post-patch completely razing it, as I have this bizarre patch of foundation that can't be deleted due to "floor tile required by object" and...there's no object. No wall, no ceiling, no nada. But that's another story.)

Post-patch, I successfully built a 2 story on the single step foundation, because I was testing out the ladder bug that I don't have.
