I haven't been around for awhile, so these may be repeats from previous bug threads. I did read page 1 and didn't see my issues. Also, much love for doing these bug threads for all of us.
Everyone
1. Are you using mods (Please answer with: Yes, Never, Removed)
I've only ever used a mod that was an updated/stable version of store content that didn't work. It was removed and all of the caches and everything deleted before testing out the game.
2. Are you using custom content (as in clothing and objects) ?
Nope, removed.
3. Do you have Into the Future or just the Patch ?
Both
4. Which Patch Level are you at ?
Latest
5. Did you start a new game or are you playing an existing ones ?
I started a new game after the patch and used an existing character from an EP world (Showtime) to randomly check things out.
6. Did you transfer an existing Sim over or are they new/Pre-Made ?
EA made - Shipped with Showtime
7. What town are you currently playing ? EA or Custom ?
EA - Starlight Shores? I think that's the name.
8. What is your Operating System (Mac, XP, Vista, Win 7) ?
It's tinkered with by hubby but essentially 7. My issues are all game play and not crashing/graphics so I don't think this matters.
9. Do you have the download or DVD Version of the game ?
DVD version of TS3 and all EPs
10. Are you reporting for the Future-World, Uni-World, Home-World or WA-World ?
Currently the home world but I have traveled to Uni and to the future (normal version) with this Sim.
Okay, just a few oddities.
The imaginary friend issue: I created a child in the future world and my Sim happened to be pregnant with twins (oopsie) so the dolls came in the mail in the future. I could not get them from the mailbox. When the family traveled home the dolls were stuck in Dad's inventory along with omni plant boxes.
**Fix** I had the Dad take out the doll (play with? speak through? whatever the option is) and then do another task. When the doll went back into his inventory I was able to move it into the inventory of the child. Another family member took the child from the crib and then put them back, TADA they have the doll. I repeated for all 3 kids and it worked. Dolls all function as normal AND the home mail box unlocked and could be checked again.
Toddler items - child was stuck in the playpen. I had to do some creative stuff to get the child out. Suggest not using this one at all. If your toddler is stuck, try MOO, then delete the playpen, then age up the toddler, then enter CAS, then resetsim. Seriously, it was a desperate thing but finally it worked. Sorta. I had to change species (Genie) and he's still doing fairy stuff.
Bot Shop - The only "bot shop" I have is the consignment store and there is NOTHING listed to buy. Unlike the store from SN there is an empty list. I have deleted and replaced but nothing. If anyone knows where the individual register is, I'll try that too. Sim should get a discount due to collection/skill challenge but there's nothing to buy.
Lazy Plumbots - Chips say that they will clean or garden or whatever without being prompted but this is not the case. They just watch TV.
Still investigating. I'm going to move the family to another EA town (maybe the first one) to see what happens.
ETA - grammar, need coffee
