Re: [FIXED] [JTB] [GT] Several games go on forever (chess, llama, sabacc ..)

I'm having this problem too and I was concerned it may impact me when I have children doing the whiz kid aspiration. It does, except the work around seems to be to have one sim (ie not the one working on the aspiration) to stop playing, then the child will have it register as playing a chess game. The third time I did it, they were only playing for about a sim hour.

Best regards,
Jennifer

    I tried your work around (let the Sim that is not working on the aspiration quit the game) and fortunately this made the goal check. Thanks for figuring this out!

    Looks like the void critters have the same issue.

    Added that to title.

    I wonder if this bug is related to the upcoming Sabacc tables and may be influenced by installing the Star Wars pack.

    @crinrict Oh no ... A player on the forum has also reported the darts game. I'm currently on vacation and can't test. Hope that at least bowling still works (though it never worked well).

    @alanmichael1 urgh

    EDIT: I Tested darts and it doesn't work properly but it does end. Only my Sim plays though. the game is over without the opponent playing. Might be a different issue and needs it's own thread.

    Could you give me the link to the forum post ?

    @crinrict I watched a Lets Play of the new Star Wars pack by Simfans.de and the first Sabacc game ended in an endless loop of fake animations and had to be cancelled. Either all games are broken by the same wrong coding that is easy to fix or we will have endless fun with this.

    I advise you to download the bug fix from LittleMsSam for this bug, while EA doesn't fix it. I'm using it and now I can normally play chess, darts, cards and dont wake the llama game. I don't know if it's allowed to post the link here so I'll just say to you all to search "littlemssam random bug fixes". The one for these glitched games is called "Playing together fix".

  • Thank you for the work around, I was playing with the goth family and needed this

    I was having this same issue. Haven't played in a while and I couldn't figure out why the games were never completing and my child wasn't getting credit for games since they wouldn't finish. Quite frustrating since this isn't the only bug I've been running into while playing today. 

  • The suggested workaround to cleanup the game doesnt really worjk. Not only that, when two sims play it is actually one playing for both.
