[COLLECTION THREAD] Routing failure/exploits queuing up one-time interactions

This thread is for all issues involving queuing one time interactions that fail/exploit because the first queue item makes the second one invalid.

These issues can be easily prevented by not queuing up multiple of these.

  • Dig for treasure: If you have a map, you can queue them up on multiple rocks but it fails after the first one, dropping the queue
  • Instant Upgrade: Since there's a cool down period after doing one, it will fail if you queue up more than one Instant Upgrade
  • Fertilizing Plants: You can use one item to fertilize multiple plants if you queue the same one.
  • Searching pile of scratch and cleaning up makes the clean up fail
  • Detective career Interrogation: Sims can continue to interrogate suspect if multiple actions are queued after the suspect has had enough.

    If you let your Sim fertilize one plant at a time or you choose different fertilizers, then each item will be consumed on use as intended. However, you can pause the game and keep queueing the same item (not the same type, literally the same item) and it will fertilize all queued plants. One fish can fertilize 8 plants this way.

    In this example I have 4 mushrooms, 6 queued plants, and am left with 3 mushrooms after fertilizing.

  • so you found a treasure map... then you click on a rock and get the option to dig for trasure.

    but if you click on a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc rock before your sim gets to the first rock and completes to dig for treasure... then you will still be given the option to dig for treasure on all of those rocks (this shouldn't happen please)...

    but you will only be able to dig the first one. and then once you get the treasure from the first rock, your commands to go dig all those other rocks will be deleted from the queue, because you no longer have a map.

    the option to dig for treasure should not be there for all the other rocks if you've already queued up the map for the first rock.

    this should be similar to how upgrading (handiman) appliances works. the upgrades require parts. you can't queue up a bunch of upgrade if you don't have enough parts for all of them. the game calculates them as you queue them up.

    This issue is still current but it's true for several other interactions too.

    If you queue them up although they should be only available once, you'll get a routing failure for the second one (Instant Upgrade is another example). Sometimes you can also exploit the game like with the fertilizing.

    Decided to make a collection thread because of it.

    Greetings,

    Upon getting the Vampire Pack I found an issue using the 'Large Vaulted Victorian Chandelier'... I was trying to figure why my sims kept telling me they couldn't get to my counters/dishwasher/fridge/oven.

    I kept moving things around trying to figure why they were glitching but eventually I moved the chandelier and everything was fine. It must be glitching routing for anything underneath it/within it's lighting range.

    Hi @MrMinty007

    Where do you have it placed ? Over the counter ? How high are your walls ?

    Could you maybe upload the house your having issues with ?
