I tried playing the console with nerd influence. If I clicked on the game system, the sim didn't follow through when I chose who to play with, it just didn't happen. The playing online was the only option presented and it didn't work. However, I clicked on the TV instead, and she was able to play (online) just fine with the console.
I tried installing Aurora Skies in a completely vanilla game, no store content, nothing. The toddler was able to play it just fine. I went into my original game however, after uninstalling and reinstalling Aurora Skies, and the message popped up that my toddler had achieved her maximum level of charisma, so evidently the toddlers can't play with the mirror or abacus if they are at maximum level? Is this new with the update or did it preexist?
On the p.i. career, the cases will just go away in the middle sometimes, no warning, or I will do what is necessary, and it never progresses. It is only certain cases, for instance, one involving the library.
