Spar with Others

I have this issue as well, could be mod related for me not sure.

However, when you get to level 4 of the military career you unlock the ability to spar and that works just fine for me.


With that one you click on the other SIM and spar.

Ah, perhaps this is the whole problem. It isn't asking about the bots at all, but sparring with another sim? Can't spar until I get promoted to a higher level, but how to get promoted with completing the daily tasks.? Quite the conundrum. Thank you for your response Zeldaboy180!

Well, I think the fitness machine is bugged either way.

I think you can do it both ways, either through the fitness machine, or military.

You can also find Spar in the Friendly social menu.

I got to spar with another sim using the fitness bot, and they both finally took a turn. Still reads 'Not Started' though. I have max fitness. Everybody in my game does, except for the new Strangerville. Especially created by me. Iol

I cannot find Spar under the friendly social. I have looked for every sim I have come across. I believe Zelda is correct, and that it doesn't show up until certain requirements for military level are met. I was hoping anyone would be able to spar, Military or not. Or, do they need to be in Strangerville to spar with another sim? No, that wouldn't make sense. Military is available for all.

Edited: I eventually chose the 'Work From Home' option, and it changed to "Practice Sparring'. Which is nice. Maybe now I'll get that promotion. ;)

I was able to spar with another sim, but that sim was also in the military. I did notice that the option disappeared when my sim became uncomfortable (she was really tired). It could be that the ability to spar with others is conditional. Then again, it may just be buggy.

Thanks Vulori. I'll try to find another Military sim, and see if the option to spar is available with them. I have only been able to 'Spar with Others' once with the Fitness bot. Haven't been able to do it again. So, that infernal machine is definitely buggy. :s

I really hope that you can spar with more than just military sims. It's not like I want to give a ton of sims this career. It would be very fun activity if you could spar with everyone. I could make a "fighting" studio with the sims.

I took my sim to a community lot and the option to spar showed up on everyone, even non-military sims. One of those sims is one I couldn't find the option to spar with before either, but this time it showed up. So it seems like it may be buggy. Also, it takes several times for the spar with others daily task to complete, so it's still kind of a pain.

I'm not sure sims that aren't in the military career get the option to spar with others. I switched to a household that had two sims maxed out in fitness and neither one got the option to pop up. The spar option also has the military career symbol next to it too, so I'm not sure.

The requirement is to spar with a Sim and not the bot thing. I invited co-workers over and sparred with them.
