@simvasionexactly, that's why I'm looking for any hidden obstacles explaining why it didn't work
NPC Sim with max friendship level, I've provided him with at least 12 services, and I don't have credit yet (I wasn't counting at first but I have been tonight). So something's either broken or really not clear.
There's two possibilities that immediately come to mind:
- Some services count and other's don't; the description implies they should all work but only specifically lists 2 of them.
- The NPC has to initiate the transaction; invites from your played Sim don't count.
My bet is on #2 since the Sim in question has requested maybe half of the services rendered, and for the rest he was invited by my played Sim. But I have no way to know that for sure.
Update: After some more testing tonight, I've ruled out #2, at least as the only factor. I did 10 more transactions with the same Sim, and he initiated all of them:
Hand Massage: 4
Foot Massage: 1
Manicure: 3
Pedicure: 2
Two other factors I can think to mention are that I had an existing relationship with this Sim prior to the SD update, and the Sim in question is one of the Spellcaster Sages. It's possible either of those is preventing this from working somehow.
For anyone interested in my testing methodology:
- Took Massage chair to Magic Realm and set it up in HQ
- Called over the Sage
- Waited for him to be the closest Sim and then start tending
- Since he's the closest and we have a high relationship, he always requested something immediately
- Perform service
- Stop tending
- Lather, rinse, repeat until 10 transactions complete
I guess I'm going to table this Aspiration for now until either someone figures out the secret sauce or whatever bug is happening gets fixed.
