Sims 1 Bugs
I think these are bugs, though it's possible several of these were originally coded this way (all occur after updating on 5th Feb 2025).
- Game crashes every hour or so, ESPECIALLY when trying to save with non-family human sims on lot. It does this thing where the whole screen goes black except the mouse, and then the whole thing crashes.
- Tappable Mushrooms in magic town sometime stop existing after they've been tapped by both competitors (not sure if by design?).
- My dragons don't appear to drop tears or scales (I have had both red and purple dragons, each for several weeks of in-game time, and have pet, groomed, tickled them both, at least daily, they have access to food and dolls and a bed, the purple one doesn't set fires and neither complain).
- Sims can't pass each other on the same square - meaning that I need 2 staircases and 2 entrances to the lot in order to avoid being trapped in my house by a stray dog that just wandered in and decides to sit in the wrong place...
- Sims don't seem to understand that if I request them to walk beyond an object that blocks their path, then they can actually walk around it.
- Relationships feel like they rise unnaturally slowly and fall unnaturally quickly - I do remember it being hard to make and maintain friendships in the Sims 1, just not quite that hard? My memory is of skills being significantly harder to build than what I'm experiencing, and friendships being slightly easier, but to be fair it has been about 20 years since I last played.
(Re-posted and expanded upon here for visibility, after posting in the sims 2 - because I think this is actually the right place for it?? Kinda mad that there's no sims 1 board tbh.)
