im aware the welcome wagon buff only appears when i first move in,
ive been using that and the first visitors to find out if my game feels like having a dicky fit or not, as i found it pointless continuing a game that isn't going to work correctly.
im aware of the single dude living in the flat with the bubbleblower on that floor,
the first people that tend to knock on are the black family that wears yellow
(with the male that looks like a slimmer version of eli from evil genius,,, im horrible with remembering names,
<edit>
Baako Jang, got the name, it seemed to happen as Baako was about to come closer to the door, (where a sim would in normal cases knock on the door, he seems to stop just to the right of it, and that would in turn case the single fella next door to stand a little off to the left (depending on camera angle)
<edit> lol yeh salim benali my bad
now that ive had a day or so off the sims and my headaches gone,ill boot up the game after i re-update the mods im using, and see if i have any more problems..
honestly tho... i dont know whats causing it, or why it happens, but im not lying when i said come times the invite neighbour command shows up and some times it doesn't
(regardless of if i had a working save or not :< )
<edit>
as posted before, i've attempted with and without mods, with and without mccc
as for San Mys~,,, same here 🙂
of all the starting points it feels the best "im poor and need to build up my empire" of most of the plots XD...
not 100% sure if 390 is the best plot to start with XS but i like it lol
<Update!>
alright it appears that it ...might be ?... baako causing the bug out,,, or maybe anyone who stands between the door and the message board????
so heres what i did, right after starting the new save (saved right after moving my sims in) and commanding them to do stuff inside the house,
i speed up time for 30 ingame mins then returning to normal speed in fractions till about the time when people would start knocking on,,,
i witnessed Salim come out of his apartment and come streight to my door, knock on then take a step back, i in turn managed to get the invite neighbour in option.
going to reload the same, save and wait for Baako , or his wife? to attempt to knock on after coming out of the lift.... to see if it triggers
<2nd Update>
ok after speeding up and slowing down countless times i finally found it!
ill attach a screengrab of the moment in question...
Salim Benali comes ot my door = he knocks on, steps back, i can invite in and game continues like a joyful child in a candy storey.
Baako Jang comes to my door = he'll "start" to walk to my door but seem to ........get stuck? / change his mind between wanting to knock on my door, go to the message board?.. i have no idea... but he'll just stop every single time, just short of my door
<now here seems to be the point it triggers no invite showing up
if salim and baako will just stand there with no option to invite, and if my sims talk to them automatically... thats when the heads start
now...
if anaya knocks on the door, it'll ?un-bug? the issue and i can get the invite in option regardless of who i click onto (i presume)
if she doesn't appear / doesn't knock on it gets locked into a state of "oh lets just stand outside your door, make you come chat to us, but not come in" untill they * off
<side note but important>
i seriously aplogizes for the.... complete mess my comments come to you in... XD
looks like it doesn't metter who it is that comes to visit from the lift
be it anaya or baako
(it appears to depend on whos first to get there)
i quickly went to give a friendly introduction, and then select sit and chat here - to which this caused her to just stand there and wave path blocked
<will update>
once baako appears ill be able to find out finally who/what/when/how the bug? is being triggered
<Final? update>
ALRIGHTY!
ok...
i finally find out the trigger/cause of what blocks out/prevents the invite neighbour option from showing up...
If salim benali knocks first - works perfectly fine, options appear, they come in.
if anaya/baako appears first - they wont knock on, will just stand outside the door, waiting on baako/anaya to appear and knock on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
as far as im aware now, nothing causes an issue, as long as
a single visitor knocks first
or
the last? member of a group knocks last
---------
will have to do some more testing to figure out if :-
1.the option gets blocked if i wait for all 3 to appear before answering the door
2. double check to see if invite neighbour bugs out after talking to anaya/baako first before baako/anaya appear
-------------
and again,,, thanks for dealing with my rambleing on,
and sorry for my rabbiting on lol
<got a bad habit of if i do something i go hard or go home lol.....>
<final report>
waiting on all 3 people to appear - works fine
couldn't find out if talking to first jang member causes it to get blocked, (as it appear that as long as someone knocks on the door, doesn't metter who) the invite option appears.
it appears that as long as the the knock knock animation plays it doesn't matter whom you click onto the invite in opinion will appear.
so i would hazard a guess and say the option gets prevented if you talk to them before they ring knock on the door (presuming at that point they would switch from a
"oh i'd like to say hi and come in"
to a
"oh i've talked to you in the hallway so i dont need to come in or be invited in what so ever, ill knock on next time, till then you can talk to me in the hallway"
path of events.
sorry for the spam xD, and once again thanks for the assistance. 🙂
---------- i'd just like to say sorry to anyone who is curious about this issue and came here to find out about to and be filled with despair when seeing my wall of text..... xD
when i attempt to do a bug test,,, i do it hard,,, my bug reports... however...... as ya'll can see.... need a lot of work :P 😛
Yes, as I wrote in my previous reply doing any kind of introduction also count as a Invite in so that option will disappear.
