Re: [GF] Carefree + No Touching means acting scenes always fail

@JonaO703 Thank you for replay. Lack of my poor English, I don't know how to say politely. In that my article, I wrote "angry(anger) animation" not "angry emotion". The problem of no-touching quirk mechanism is it's related to "certain tension emotion". As long as the sim has that tension emotion, "Anger animation(No touching quirk reaction)" never happens. Thus, the sim has no carefree or laid-back traits with no touching quirk, actuallly can performe act scenes. Considering sims can get no touching quirk extreme easily, some circumstances it is almost unplayable without cheats, in my opinion.

@humbelha137 Totally I agree with the dev that this is not a bug. Simply it's a really really bad game design. I believe if the dev play as much as their players, they will know this needs a fix. Honestly, that moment I was told "it's by design", I lost all my hope for the sims 4 and maxis.

    @JonaO703 @zirize I have just managed to do some extra tests, and it appears that:

    • Without "No Touching!" (whether carefree or not) - the acting scenes described work properly, and the sim is able to complete their acting gig requirements if in the acting career.
    • Without Carefree, but with No Touching! - same as above (i.e. completes the acting scene), but gets the tense "Crawling in My Skin" moodlet and the "No Touching!" animation before the scene starts, but otherwise is able to complete the scene as long as the "Crawling in my skin" moodlet does not expire during that time that the scene is being performed.
    • With both Carefree and No Touching! - the sim gets the "No Touching!" animation during the acting scene, which stops the scene and hence the sim fails to properly complete it. This has happened every time that I have tested it.

    I am aware of the previous issue that you have pointed out, and whilst I am aware that the previous issue is in some sense by design, this issue is a consequence of such behaviour that leads to broken functionality here - unless of course the act is done with a romantic partner.

    In short, I have good reason to believe that sims should be able to complete acting scenes with the "No Touching!" quirk, but when "Carefree" is added to this, it causes an oversight which prevents acting scenes from taking place, and as such perhaps this is a bug, since without the "Carefree" trait the acting scenes usually work.

    @humbelha137 My apologies!  I tested some more and was able to replicate the issue as you described it.  Initially, I misunderstood what was happening.  In my current test save, I removed the Carefree reward trait and my celebrity sim, with the no-touching quirk, completed the perform scene task.  So I do think that the Carefree trait is inhibiting this task but it should not.  I have added my "me too" to your post and have updated my replies.  I hope you accept my apology and I also hope that the dev's will address the issue!

    @zirize Your English is great so please don't ever apologize for that!  I misunderstood but that's not a reflection of your ability to express yourself.  I know many "native" English speakers who don't have the command of the language that you have.

    @humbelha137

    First I want to say that I am totally agree with you.

    In truth, I did mention about failing acting in my original post.
    Yet, the dev claimed it's by design.
    That time, I dared to argue with devs because of my poor English.

    Now, you are here.

    Please persuade the dev for us.
    You are the only hope.

    ps) I was intentionally waiting to post this until monday.
    I'm really curious about how the moderators will handle this report.

    I agree that Sims get the No Touching quirk very easily. 

    My Sim:  *tries to romance an interesting, compatible, and attractive woman*

    [popup about NEW QUIRK! No touching!]

    Romance -> First Kiss:  Now LOCKED OUT.

    Me:  HEY!  Stop that!  We were trying to hit on that girl! 

    Quirk-b-gone got rid of it and my sim was able to kiss the girl and ask her to be girlfriend, so... it all worked out.  But still.

    Er.  I digress.  I haven't tried to do acting scenes with No Touching, but since a lot of acting gigs involve touching co-stars...
