How can Sims attend a lecture if no one is holding one? I would like a Sim I don't control to hold lectures like they can in Business and Hobbies.
Edit By Crinrict: Added missing pack tag to title, added missing thread tags from another answer.
Yes and in the same vein we need “lead meditation, take yoga class, give massages/tend massage table etc. if the sims can do the activity that also needs another sim to do the sims the option should be there for the staff to do the thing. It’s not a yoga retreat with no one leading the yoga class!
Yes, this. We need to be able to differentiate between the Sim providing the service and the Sim receiving the service.
Just one other example: the "eat" activity also makes Sims cook... There is no eating option that doesn't make Sims cook (at least in my game). Which makes a "chef" role almost pointless. We have to have a way to make guests act like guests, and staff act like staff.
I have come across the same issue. I want to create a magical boarding school and want the teachers to be able to hold lectures with the business and hobbies white board. Preferably there would be an option to tell them which lecture to hold, but perhaps that can be somewhat directed by required skills for the teachers or objects available in the white board zone.
Anyone who wishes can add to this thread I started back when we got BH. Thanks.
[GTW][BH] [AA] Assigned/Scheduled activities/roles not taking place as expected
At one time I thought of compiling a list of activities from Club and SB - now AA - that were not being trigger or simply did not work. But got overwhelmed.
No one tending bars or tea/coffee stands
When assigning roles on Custom Venues, there is an option to have sims "Attend Lectures," but no option to have anyone "Run Lectures/Classes." I created a role for sims to Attend Lectures on a Custom Lot and another role to mentor other sims, but the hobbies board was unclickable when I loaded into the lot, making the "Attend Lectures" role useless.
Here me out... I love the idea of the getaway. It adds a whole new way to engage with the game and I love all the option it creates. I have been playing this game for a long time, and I love the creativity it unlocks - I was running out of things to do... honestly.
With that said, the getaway has some bugs that impact game play and I hope they get fixed in the next batch of patches. When planning a getaway, there is an option to attend lectures, but there is no option to run lectures and classes. The option to run lectures and classes exists elsewhere in the game - such as when operating a small business. But there is nothing available for the getaway. It feels odd to me to have one option without the other.
I am trying to create a boarding schools for HS students who graduate early, and I have small classrooms set up where they can learn different skills. I can assign attend lectures to the students, but there is no way to assign anyone run lectures and classes. The closest you get is mentoring, however mentoring does not produce a lecture or class under the current set up. The only way to have anyone there to teach the lectures is if someone from my active household does it - which defeats the whole point of the getaway. I genuinely hope this was an oversight.
See screenshots below....
When planning a getaway, you can select attend lectures as an activity, but there is no run lectures and classes
Mentoring is an option.... but it does nothing to create a lecture or a class for people to attend.
The option to run lectures and classes appears on the employee task panel for the small business. This option does not exist in the activity options for a getaway.
If you're still here.... samesies on the Scrap Crafts option. its available as an employee task for a small business. I would LOVE to be able to assign that task in a getaway. The sims make crafts and then they sit until I make one of my sims scrap them (or I do it in build mode). Again.... no fun.
I merged your post with the existing thread on this (the one from feedback)
