@stjmk I downloaded a mod from Bienchen to make them stop making messes.
Across my saves, I have a lot of Sims in creative fields who get reward items that produce an inspired aura, and I've noticed that children autonomously make messes when inspired. I had one that I made the mistake of giving the creative trait and I was at my wit's end with him. As I joked to a friend:
Parenting -> Discipline Recent Behavior -> Over It -> Put Up For Adoption
At the same time, I worried that perhaps his relationship with his parents would be damaged because he was SO PERSISTENT in making messes that basically the only times an adult interacted with him it was either "help with homework or school project" or progressively stricter discipline for all those messes. Seriously:
Kid: makes mess
Parent: Parenting -> Discipline recent behavior -> calm -> ask not to make a mess
Kid: immediately makes more mess
Parent: Parenting -> Discipline recent behavior -> firm -> express disappointment for making a mess
Kid: immediately makes more mess
Parent: Parenting -> Discipline recent behavior -> strict -> give time out for making a mess
Kid: goes into timeout with a snit, then immediately makes more mess
Me: You little (#)@*#@&#& WILL YOU STOP!
Parent: Parenting -> Discipline recent behavior -> punish -> ground for making a mess
Kid: little orange tense sliver at the end of a mass of inspired moodlets, so immediately makes more mess
Me: Is there a "put child up for adoption" option on the computer?
Parent: Parenting -> Discipline recent behavior -> punish -> double ground for making a mess
Kid: immediately makes more mess
Me: I will not delete a child. I will not delete a child. I will not delete a child. I will not....
Parent: Parenting -> Discipline recent behavior -> punish -> triple ground for making a mess
Ad nauseum. Eventually I got the bug where all options were "stealthily," like "steathily use toilet, stealthily get leftovers, stealthily do homework, and then stealthily go to bed." LOL, except that he hemorrhaged responsibility, argh!
Really, guys, I don't know what's up with the tuning on "make a mess," but the parents do make a living with their creative objects and I can't just delete them all.
LOL! I made the mistake of giving one the Creative trait and that wouldn't have helped. They were in a Tiny House, too, with the double positive moodlet duration, so those random inspired buffs lasted a VERY LONG time. 😉
Community ManagerHey all,
Just checking in to see if anyone is still seeing this on a modless game as we've been unable to reproduce it on our end.
If so please share your save file with us (instructions: http://x.ea.com/74420) so we can take a look.
Thanks!
