My Absolutely Useless Sim
So I'm playing with my Sim, Eartha: a young adult who is cheerful, active, and self-assured. For this round the only thing I changed was her aspiration. I've played with Eartha before and never had this issue. I was having her try the career of freelance artist but I was having trouble getting her work assignments done (or anything done for that matter) for constantly having to tend to her needs. Suddenly Eartha's bladder was the size of a thimble and I couldn't risk having her far from a toilet or bush. She's not a glutton but she was always hungry. Nothing appealed to Eartha and she was bored and tense all the time. She was afraid of everything - deep water, volcanoes, the ghost of Nancy Landgraab. Eartha could be doing nothing and she would become filthy and exhausted. I tried having her travel to see if that would knock her out of her slump, but Eartha fell apart no matter where she went. In the end I was just as miserable as Eartha as I couldn't seem to keep her going without having to resort to cheats.
What happened? Is this a secret side-effect of being a freelance artist? I had her living in Windenburg, does that have anything to do with it? Is this a glitch? Is anyone else experiencing something like this?
