When A Mistake Makes You Feel Totally Silly

I have set up a holiday for each Sunday of the month. Got the idea from another player and it generally works out very well. Except for this gaming session. For some odd reason, my Sim didn't have the attend holiday services anywhere in his phone. I checked all seven of the family members on this lot. Then it dawned on me, perhaps the latest mod was interfering. So, I save the game and then exit. I removed the latest mod, deleted the localthumbcache.package and then got back into the game. It still wasn't working.

Hm, I'm thinking. What if I delete the holiday and set it up again?

Well, you can't do that in the midst of the holiday, but you can edit. Boy, are my cheeks red. LOL In edit mode, I quickly realized the problem. Under the section of 'goals' (of which for this one I have only attend services) I'd forgotten to place that. I took a moment to look at the next three Sundays. Yep, forgot to add the goal to those, too.

I just get going too fast, sometimes. So fast, that this time I totally messed up!

Please share your silly oversights that make you want to laugh out loud!
  • Wow, I had no clue this was added. Thanks @joRN1414 and @Kathykins.

    One time my sim invited her boyfriend over to her house. They were making out on the lawn when she asked him if he wanted to woohoo, to which he responded with a happy dance, so she went inside. He stayed on the lawn and the action canceled. I was like what the heck?! So she went back outside and asked him again, got another happy dance and once again she went inside he stayed out and the action canceled. This went on for like a sim hour and 5 attempts later after exiting and restarting the game, still a no go. I finally gave up, asked him to spend the night, and tried to get them to watch tv together. He wouldn't go inside. This is when I remembered my sim had the door locked for everyone but herself *facepalm*


    LOL !!!!

    Seasons is still a pretty new pack for me, and I didn't realize that the whole world shared a calendar so I spent a lot of time adding in Jewish holidays for one of my families and then realized that ALL my families would be celebrating Jewish holidays now haha


    I did just the opposite. I created a holiday Church, so that my Sims would attend services, weekly. That and Pascha (Easter), which the entire Sims world celebrates. Face/palm. I guess we're lucky that we can choose the guests to our other Events, lest the entire Sims' Planet turn out. :open_mouth:
