so hmmm i wonder if one of two things is going on either repalce the rabbithole as one rabbithole... or there was some save game corruption which i'm not familear with what causes that but crin has a thread on that here
Thanks for sticking with me, Rum! I appreciate the extra brain power. 😃
I did wonder about that possibility but it's happening on fresh games with new families, and it's not just on my pc/instalation either. My husband has had it happen in 2 successive games now with a clean install (he doesn't use cc). I even redownloaded DV in case the general files were damaged during installation. What's perplexing me is that it's happening on two machines with separate accounts/installs and we both get the same problem that we can reproduce at will, with any gardening opportunity.
My next step will be uninstalling WA and Ambitions on the off chance that there's a conflict somewhere. I can't imagine install order would make a difference but you never know. I found Crin's blog and their responses to others which is why I tried some of the steps that I did, like replacing the rabbit holes.
with the smis 3 install order does not matter and since you both have the same issue....back up your stiff befor ehand saves etc i wonder if trying the factory reset would work rather than th euninstalling einsattly and namually checking for the left overs
had to search LOL http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/06/tutorial-resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling.html
Nope, a reset didn't help either ( I followed all instructions with the exception of the one mod to force the opportunities.) I started a new game with a premade family, Aislin Walsh (a cook), got her reading a gardening book until level 2, forced a gardening opportunity and the same thing happened.
Out of curiosity I figured I'd read more cooking books and send her to work and try using debug cheats to force an opportunity there but she was unable to go to work. There is definitely something odd going on with the rabbit holes! Earlier today my hubby noticed that he could complete some gardening opps at random so I gave it a go. Out of a selection that required turn ins at the supermarket, diner and restaurant, a few would work but there was no pattern. I would force the opportunities (like the one delivering potatoes) and sometimes I would let me, other times it wouldnt. This is all very frustrating!
edit: I stripped out that one last mod and tried again.. Still unable to even get to work at the restaurant. 😕mileyfrustrated:
i so understand the frustration some of them make me grrrr and spend hours trying to figure it out if the sim is having issues going to work that can be caused by a work outfit so usually for that to test is have them change into the work outfit before the carpool comes for them and or go to the dresser plan outfit if they have one work outfit then plan anew one if they have more than one delete the extras i do recall that sometime ago a player was an issue with the science center for an opportunity too but couldn't complete it the sim couldn't enter the building what worked for the player was to go to edit town and grab the building and move it back a tile or two the opportunity wss naturally enough cancelled because of this but it rerolled and the player was able to complete it then
off the top of my head if you have delphys dashboard run that to see if there is a mod conflict
