I see three possible ways this could've been implemented:
- That the Player trait is temporarily inactive while a sim has the Villainous Valentine aspiration
- That Sims with the Player trait get the "Get caught cheating" counting up if they're cheating, but the witnessing Sim doesn't get sad or angry (maybe they could get tense instead?)
- That the "Get caught cheating" milestone is auto-filled for Sims with the Player trait
- psusenas4 years agoNew Vanguard@SqueamishNerd I agree with you. I'd choose the second way as better option. If only programmers saw your idea...
- kusurusu4 years agoSeasoned Ace@SqueamishNerd Player is a passive trait (i.e., it blocks progress by merely existing), so making it inactive wouldn't work here, and auto-filling the milestone seems a bit cheap.
All they need to do to fix this bug is to remove one single trait test from up to three broadcaster files (and it wouldn't even affect anything else).- SimGuruRitzy4 years ago

- That the "Get caught cheating" milestone is auto-filled for Sims with the Player traitPersonally I would make it so that instead of only counting when your sim is caught cheating, I would add to it and make it so that it also counts if another sim is caught cheating because they were seen flirting with your sim. I feel it would still fit the overall theme of the aspiration, plus would work well with the goal of breaking up couples. Players wouldn't have to worry about having the Player trait or not, plus if for some reason the original way just wasn't working it would add a second way to achieve the goal.
Another idea I have is to completely change that goal for sims with the Player trait. Set some sort of flag where if the game sees the sim has the trait, change the goal of getting your sim caught to a goal of getting other sims caught.

Also make sure you don't have the "Free Love" NAP in effect (it's part of Eco Living DLC).
To check, you can hit CTRL + Shift + C to open the cheat console. Then type "testingcheats on" without the quotation marks, hit enter.
Now you can shift + click on the mailbox and use the Remove NAP's option.
