help is it just me or are your ocean ladders bugging out all the time? IL

@siirysiir  I tested:

Made a new folder and save, moved in a sim in Lagoon Look, Sulani. Placed a water ladder and a dock ladder, got an Aqua Zip and an Outrigger Canoe. Did the things you described: jumped down, directed them to Go Here on the pier, from the two ladders and it was fluid, they chose the closest ladder for the end point etc. 

Rode the Aqua Zip, both on the lot, the water on it; and around in the little bay, far from the lot. If Dock Here was chosen while on the lot, the sim immediately jumped down from the vehicle, and swam to the dock ladder and climbed up. 
If the sim was far away from the lot, they first rode to the home lot, close to the docking ladder, then jumped off and climbed the stairs. Screen shots of the proximity:

Home lot, on lot


Home lot away from lot


Travelled to the community lot Sand Simolean Beach, dragged out the pier on the lot to deep water, placed the two Beach Items: Community Water Scooter Docking Point & Ladder, and the Community Canoe Docking Point & Ladder. They generate canoe and Aqua Zip. Rode around in my own as well as the community provided vehicles, on the lot and around the ocean. 
Same thing here, when using the community vehicles, if on the lot the sim directly jumped ship and swam to shore; if away they docked the boat.

Beach, away from lot


If I used my own vehicle, the sims put it in their inventory as soon as they got to the lot from riding around away from it/recieved the order to Dock Here.

Every time the action Dock Here in queue was done, is was crossed over by a white thin cross, instead of as usually just disappearing; as if it was actually cancelled out. The only time it just went away from the queue was when my sim docked the canoe, climbed the ordinary ladder at home lot, then walked over to the docking laddder.



The pier at the beach created some strange behaviour, sims dropping through the floor, resetting in actions, not recognizing the borders. 

I missed taking a screen shot of my sim dropping through the floor. I have had the same issues with this EA premade lot before, at that time I changed the foundation and did some other things, and that fixed it. I changed the foundation here too, but it happened still.

I also remember that I have seen the issues that you describe, about the messed up routing with the ladders, particularly on Lagoon Look, hence why I tested it. If I see it again, I will find this thread. I have learnt to bulldoze the premade lots, and rebuild from scratch, because they often cause issues, the build layout itself.

I clicked Me Too on the bug report, but I think it might be by design that the boats don't actually dock, just are left close by if the game gets enough time, the sim being away from lot when the order is given.

Yes, I wish for EA to clarify a lot of things, both in the game and outside of it. 

I have read that the first iterations had a manual, in text form! That would be lovely.
