103% of Unique Rocks analyzed?

[Leto85]

I'm in the collecting part now with Max Skills and he has analyzed 103% of space rocks. 103% of what... 1000%? When is this completed? I'm missing the point here I'm afraid.

[Leto85]

Now it had dropped to 27% of rocks analyzed. What is this game doing?

[Naga]

Beats me. My sim had analyzed 100%, then suddenly it dropped to something really low, like 10%. I would also like to know what is going on.

[Jowkoul]

I know what that feels like! In one of my deleted save files my sim had found and analyzed 96% of the rocks and I was very happy, but then, after getting Ambitions and World Adventures, it fell to 7%! So these 2 expansion packs made a difference of 90%?! I don't think it's ever going to be fixed, but I'll suggest writing down which rocks you have collected and collecting the ones you haven't. Here's a full list of space rocks in Sims wiki - http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Rock_collecting

I feel a bit stupid to ask this, but where can you find this percentage? I'm collecting rocks all over the place but never found this progress.

It's in the Skill Journal.  If you're  not sure how to open that, go to the page where your sim's skills are listed and click on the circle at the far right.  This will open the skill journal.  To find information on space rocks and other collecting, go to the icon with the butterfly.  It will be listed there.

Found it. Thanks.

You can also press the J key to open it.

@Snooty: On this forum there is nothing like a stupid question. Just ask the thing and someone would reply. You simply can't know everything. I wouldn't be surprised if there are still things in this game I am not aware off.

Could it be possible that this weird percentage shows how many rocks that sim has picked up vs. how many of them were analyzed?  That way it is possible to have analyzed more than you pick up (over 100%) because you analyzed a rock that someone else picked up?  If the count is dynamic then it would make sense that the percentage would rise and fall, because every time you pick one up, you have one more that you have not analyzed yet.  I'm just theorizing here.

[Naga]

No, that is not it. Although I appreciate your "theorizing" (I prefer the term outtermind-philosophizing, which is one of my unconcious hobbies).

The percentage means how many of the rocks you have analyzed, out of the total there is, not the total you collected. The many percentage miscounts - mostly in Collecting, but in some other skills too - happen after installing an expansion that adds to that total number of collectibles. Note that there are skill challenges (such as Collect 100% Butterflies) that do not count the expansion collectables, hence allowing you to get 100% from the base game, and then go further by getting the ones from expansion packs. I believe there was a patch that made it so that the numbers couldn't go any higher than 100, which is somewhat a rushed fix.

[Leto85]

I got the feeling that it has something to do with the many rocks my sim had in his inventory. I had sell a few and the weird things became to appear.
Hmmm, it is just my instinct though. If it's that, it could be a bug.
Can anyone from the other sexe confirm this? Woman instinct are mostely true.

Every time when fleeing from another bug I move my sim in a new city it resets two tasks of skill collecting associated with meteorites, which are extremely difficult to dial back (I've checked the list, I have all kinds in inventory, but it does not count). And this mysterious percents live their lives

Yeah, it's something that still haven't been solved since my last commend here. It was something I liked to give Max Skills before he went to be uploaded to here, but oh well, it may be solved in the future. Somewhere, somehow.

[Blanchflower]

OK, this is confirmed a bug.

Whenever I save my Sim to the library and move him to a new town or when I go to foreign lands in world adventures, the percentage of rocks which I have analyzed so far drops significantly. For example when I have analyzed 97% or 100% unique rocks and travel, the percentage drops to maybe 30% or 20%. The same thing happens when I move my Sim to the library and start a new life again.

This bug is ruining my gaming experience and I kindly hope that EA will fix this
