@n00biityo: I'll check my wording. Might be off. I did understand that the first time but I'll add the idle part :)

Dear Crin,

I'm sorry to bother you again I should have posted that I was going to do some further testing. I'm learning more and more as I'm playing ITF, I simply figured that it would be good to describe the problem as in much detail as possible. I didn't mean to criticise or anything, you're doing a wonderful job and your bug threads have always helped me greatly in the past and saved me a lot of time, headaches and heartaches.

I discovered the following. When a sim travels, the rhythm-a-con gets a total reset. Both play and idle colors revert back to their orange and green state. When a sim stays in the homeworld or OL etc. and the player save and quit and then reload the game, then only idle color resets to green.

UPDATED: so far no tips either with guitar in new game...i produced this same bug twice in my games..and am now asking others on my page if they experienced it..


As kusurusu reported, the object only attracts sims from the future or sims that are at a Big Park so this is indeed intentional. If a Big Park has been turned into a festival ground, the rhythm-a-con won't work there but any big park that is set up for simfests and such do function as usual and sims there will acknowledge the instrument.

That's everything and last update on the rhythm-a-con. Thank you for your patience.

Hey n00biityo ...are you having issues with not receiving tips with your rythm-a-con? I have not gotten any tips in one of my game for some reason..im still testing with another new game..but in that one...i also have not received any tips yet..

UPDATED: that's twice i produced the same bug in 2 different unrelated games. The second family was a pre-made family (The Luns). I am using them in Dragon Valley. I notice that nobody doesn't even pay attention to them anymore when they play..there like standoffish...im pretty positive this might be a bug introduced with the rhythm-a-con instrument in Into the Future...

What's worse is it seems to affecting the "play for tips" on other instruments, so it is just not affecting the new instrument..as i am testing in second game with a regular solofex guitar..and everyone is ignoring me..

I am going to see if this effects opportunities where you need to get XXX amount of tips, but i have yet to receive one...so not sure if this bug will effect opportunities about making certain amount of tips also..

I strongly believe this may be somewhat related to what n00biityo is experiencing with the color glitch (in fact they maybe causing each other issues with the same glitch). Since i believe that the new instrument is causing both these bugs..

Also, with this new game, i can confirm 3 bugs i saw mentioned on here:

#1. Seems like i am visited by alot of aliens. I am not in the future, but in Dragon Valley. At least one alien visited me nightly for a whole week..

#2. I am not aging up properly. I had to force one of my people to age up using a cake..otherwise it would continuously state that "XXX is about to age." when he never does, and repeats it ad naseum the next day in the game..

#3 Yes, quantum chamber does not recharge witches magic...in fact it drains it. This is clearly a bug that EA should of addressed considering this is a "LIMITED EDITION" item in the boxed retail versions..

WHAT IS REALLY WEIRD is none of the above glitches happened in my legacy game..they only happened when i started a new game with a pre made family...so im guessing these are newer created bugs?
