Moon Base Charlie /Moon Base Delta w/Sims

Hi, SS :mrgreen:

Hope the dinner of Ramen was good. ;)
Thanks, that's a lot of trouble to go through to test the world. I don't have any mods installed yet so it's no trouble for me. :lol:

I did reinstall my Store stuff just so I could use it to test. :)

~I did add the addresses to the lots. I can't believe I missed them.
~I haven't painted yet but it's on the list... where'd the list go? :shock: :D

Rflong, I played her hard and heavy and she just sat back and smiled prettily at me. hehehehe

But she did finally in extreme aspiration finally give me a teeny, tiny hiccup after laboring smooth as silk from 3 pm this afternoon until a little after midnight. (I did let it just run all by itself for 45 minutes while I made us a light dinner at 8 pm, then ate my dinner at my desk). So I will first tell you the hiccup spot and keep in mind this world had been worked for 3 Sims full weeks - I started with 1 Sims right from CAS. By the time I was done playing the game had generated all the needed service sims and 6 good size families. Also midway into the Sims 2nd week I added 10 more households of YA Sims, mostly singles with a few pairs of sibblings of actual skilled Sims - so that way I covered all the different kinds of housing and jobs - I think I got them all including the highrise and not a single one of the additions that played for another Sims week and a half had any housing , routing, or job problems. They used all buildings, gathered at all the shopping areas and or parks, went to work, went to the clubs and the eating areas, as well as ate at the clubs too.

The one who found my hiccup was the first Sims I put in and basically played through all this testing today.

So keep in mind this might have been an issue of me just being in the constantly growing world a bit too long with out a reboot as I saw no problem for 9 full hours of hard checking, but my Sims was in a sour state of mind and just begging for something fun to do - poor guy I ran him ragged for 3 sims weeks so he'd barely had time to grab a bite of food at any of the clubs, and it was closing time - so finally he had a day off from work and decided to send him to a concert at the stadium he had been begging for (by the way he occupies the domed house - the small one over next to the criminal building) so he did his thing and ran down to the subway to go to the stadium - now listen up -

he came out of the subway staying on the same side of the sidewalk where the subway is located and along the way you have three of those solar panels on the ground well as he passed the second solar panel the game did do a slight hesitation - just and eye blink, and again when he got to the third one which is also where he turns and crossed the street to go to the stadium, it did the same thing, just ever so slightly.

I found it odd it did it right in front of the solar panels. I also determined it is okay on the sidewalk on the stadium side of the road where there are none of the solar panels, as after the concert I had him run back to the subway to go home, staying on this side of the street and it was again smooth as silk.



Next is a wee bit of an oddity that I have never seen in a world, but here goes: after the concert was over and before I sent the sim home, he came out I saw one of my added celebrity Sims so I sent my sim to go meet her. I click on her and get this I get a choice of greet the celebrity or learn a song. I say "You say what" So I click it again, it says the same thing, so for the heck of it I choose sing a song and get the choice of my sim learning one of the two songs from Egypt from the celebrity. It is odd, as that sim is also one of my sims - the one that wears the WA adventure gear but she has never been to egypt. I had planned to take her to egypt which is why she has that outfit on for everyday use, but the fact she hasn't been there and should not have known the songs to start with baffled me, as much as the fact by all right my sim should have gotten the "Impress the Celeb" offer, but he got the song or the greet the celebrity offer. All I can figure is the game was tired and needed a reboot because I first got those two little freezes on the way to the stadium, and then this weird reaction after the concert. By the way I did have the celeb teach him both songs, and then my sim got the right response for him to impress the celeb - which he did easily. Finally he was quite tired and I wanted to make sure the lags were not on this side of the road, so I had him say good bye and followed him home with no further incidents.

I will go back and do further testing tomorrow afternoon and will check out that area with a fresh boot, but if anyone else wants to check out that area it would be good too.

Oh and Rflong the game moved in a Vamp in one of the six families it moved in - would you believe the house you actually have listed as the Vamp house. I have not gone in that house yet, but I have gone into the Red Family House where I moved a couple of YA sims. I just thought that was funny the game put a Vamp in a house named Vamp house.

On, and the name issue you have - that is not your fault and you most likely did name everything. I have noticed every since LN a lot of buildings are not retaining their names, not in the worlds and not in the library. I have lots and houses I keep in a folder on my desktop fully named and then I put them in a world and they sometimes show just a blank when I click or hoover over them in the game. Sure enough when I check my library the descriptions and names will also be missing suddenly in the library also. Just like the lots I added to Mesa Valley for SOCL, they all had names and descriptions and I have since found at least 4 that have lost their names and descriptions as well as a couple of the buildings that were already in MV - I know the gym was one of them, and I don't remember which other one it was. So ingame I just went into edit town and readded the infor on the description. But for some odd reason what ever EA did to fix LN broke some of the names. They did this once before but instead of the lots going blank they went to that World - houses-- yada yada yada business and that was like after the 4th base game patch before we even had an EP. I think WA fixed the issue or the patch for WA did, but this time they broke it worse than the first time. So you are not going c r a c k e r s , you most likely wrote the descripts and names and the game just randomly choose to eat those for lunch or something. It is annoying after the second or third time at having to rewrite names.


By the way don't go sweating wood/no wood look. If somebody doesn't like it, they can change it to anything they want - RIGHT PEOPLE!!!!! Rflong should not have to be worried about meeting everyones likes and dislikes for something as trivial as paint on walls, furn, etc. It is not like EA gave her much appropiately space age paints and furniture to use, so give the girl a break and when we have helped her make this world perfect, then paint it the way you like it. Some people are always going to find something they don't like as far as designs and colors go, I assure you I almost immediately redo two thirds of EA's paint jobs on lots and houses with every new ep, but I surely don't go complaining to EA that my taste does not agree with theirs. As a well known tester of worlds, I can tell you the creators want you to report oddities and problems, maybe even add a suggestion for a new style of house or even a sim, but color and furnishings are really something we only need to be concerned about once the project is considered finished, the testing is all done, and the world is ready to go. Remember anything you don't like is changeable, but there is a difference between not liking something, and the world having a problem. It's the problems we really need to look for and concentrate on so we can help Rflong.

I am not trying to be mean or a b u t t - i n - ski, but I have tested worlds since world testing started and know what it is the creators want and need to know. Rflong is a sweety and will never complain, and she tries hard to please everyone, but she shouldn't have to. Look at all the work she does just to share with us. So please people, even though Rflong won't say it, I will - concentrate on helping us all have a great playing world by finding anything wrong that cannot be painted or decored away. Much appreciated.

Yep, the Ramen was good. Sometimes when I'm under the weather a simple meal like that is the best.

Sigh...such a beautiful world. I really love what you've done with it. This is the best iteration yet! I'm sorry you've had to work so hard to redo it but man, it's a feast for the eyes and just blows me away with the imagination that went into it.

I've had my sim running for just one of her sim days so far. No hiccups or stutters yet. She befriended a neighbor (she's in Steampunk and her neighbor is in a little dome near Steampunk).

I had the world set up initially and I decided my test sim the first time around annoyed me. Why, I have no idea, she just got on my nerves somehow--I think it's because she kept running to the tv, so that's why I'm only on Day One with this sim. But the other sim, the annoying one--I'd tried about 3 different households and when I got to her, for some reason she instantly shot up in the Stylist Career. I'd never had her employed nor did I select her for a career so I guess the game had made her a stylist and put her at a very high level and in the blink of an eye the game put up several promotion messages for her in rapid succession. I'd never had this happen to me before so it was interesting. I mention it in case it's a game oddity and not normal after all. Anyway I exited without saving and redid the town with a different set of sims all that I made myself. Just to be sure I didn't have any oddities as a result of something someone did for SOCL. (I had SOCL sims in the first test run).

She's having rotten luck with her date, lol, but other than that it's okay. I'll see if I can recreate the path WR took and check out the solar panels. I am not sure yet what I'll be doing next.

I have families with kids in the game but haven't tried testing those yet. I'm just getting started.

Oh I just caught WR's post about lot names. Yeah, ditto that. Same thing happened to me when I was fussing over my version of SOCL Mesa Valley. It's a game thing, not you. Sorry you had to run into that.

SS86 - What you just described happened exactly the same way with DD's GW and Tangy in MV SOCL. So yeah it is more of EA dilly dallying with the games programming, as it started happening since that last patch EA did for LN.

I wrote about it in my post about the game the day with all the pictures. I also had it happen in Barnacle Bay to a pirate no less, and quickly had him quitting that job. I want pirates to either pirate or fish, not be a stylists. In fact it also did a simular thing with a guy the game put in architecture as well, even though the guy did not have a single job listed in his portfolio - also in BB, so it is obviously happening with Ambitions careers in all worlds, user and EA. At least that doesn't seem harmful like some of their other tweaks have been. They need to do a little untweaking and put stuff back like it was.

Rflong, I PM'd you with the final link to A1 :-)

JUst wanted to add, I have not checked the school as all my playing/testing sims are single YA's, but I did see kids - toddler, child, and teen age among the families the game created for the hood - so I will go into those game generated families and check out the school, but I highly suspect there will not be a problem as none of the other underground buildings have given me any problem, and I do not have an over abundance of kids though - there are 3 kid age and two teen, so I don't see any pile ups possible in my game of them getting in the school. So if any of you have more kids in your hood you might want to check out the school also to make sure they will actually going in the school without your guidance or do they hesitate or just gather outside the school doors - things like that.

I lost this when LN hosed my game. Where exactly is the newest link. I liked it. lol ^^ Hi BTW :) ^^

LOL about the use of wood in this world--I just saw the bathroom stalls in the Dojo--I was knocked down flat! I loved them. The prettiest bathroom stalls I've ever seen. I don't think I ever recolored the stalls like that. I'll have to remember that for my own builds.

I would think colonists would probably like a bit of home especially some wood texture on the moon. A lot of this world has a steampunk theme and the wood goes well.

Did anyone else have trouble getting into the club The Abandoned Car? My poor sim's date ended abruptly when they couldn't get past the velvet ropes because there was no bouncer. He might not have generated yet. I had to take a break from testing so I'm only on day 2 of my sim's time in this world.
