One Doctor Sim (Multiple versions of) with Needs All Over.
I have one particular Sim, named Nathaniel, whoes needs seem to jump all over in a nearly random fashion.
This is especially true at night, when he will go to bed and then the game goes into Ultra Speed. One moment the Energy need bar will be near full green, next it is back down to only half way.
Sometimes his time/animations don’t seem to be keeping up with him. For example, I’ll que up going to the bathroom and while he’s still sitting at the table eating breakfast his que only will advance to the “Use” for the toilet. His bladder need will fill (but not necessarily STAY full, refer the jumping all over).
Similarly, I sent him to bed at about 9pm game time on a holiday I created. According to the clock it is now about 5am the following day. Nathaniel has got up, done laundry and is eating. For whatever reason; the holiday is still showing in the top right corner. I HAVEN’T received the notification on how successful (or otherwise) his holiday was.
I have noticed that this is all a real problem when he goes to work at the hospital lot. When he leaves, he’s had a full nights sleep, eaten and used the bathroom. His needs SHOULD be green. Because of the needs changing rapidly/randomly, he’ll end up at the hospital hungry, tense (low fun) and just about dropping from exhaustion. Very hard to handle his workday. And it doesn’t make sense. It’s fustrating.
Nathaniel is the ONLY Sim with which I have witnessed this. All my other Sims act ‘normally’.
This has occurred with more than one version of the Nathaniel Sim. The one I am playing now is a download from the/my Gallery.
The problem is not lot specific, it’s happened now in at least two different apartments. It MIGHT be career specific, as Nathaniel is my only doctor so far. Come to think of it, the issue possibly didn’t start before Nathaniel’s first day of doctor work.
I’ve tried Repair Game, without resolving this issue. As mentioned, this is happening with multiple versions of the same Sim in different saves.
Any advice appreciated.
