Issue Description:
The social interaction "Convince to Support NAP" is missing from the pie menu when clicking on other Sims. This interaction is intended to allow players to spend Influence Points (5 points per attempt) to persuade NPC Sims to vote for a specific Neighborhood Action Plan . The option is completely absent, preventing players from influencing community voting outcomes beyond casting their own votes.
Expected Behavior:
When clicking on another Sim, the "Convince to Support NAP" interaction should appear in the pie menu (typically under Friendly or More Choices). Selecting it should open a sub-menu listing available NAPs, allowing the player to spend 5 Influence Points to attempt to persuade the Sim to vote for that plan . While success is not guaranteed—friendship level increases the chance of persuasion —the interaction itself should always be available.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Ensure the active Sim has Influence Points (earned through social interactions, following NAP guidelines, etc.) .
- Click on another Sim (NPC or household member).
- Browse through all interaction categories (Friendly, More Choices, etc.).
- Search for the "Convince to Support NAP" or "Convince to Vote for NAP" interaction.
Actual Result:
The interaction is not present in the pie menu under any category. The option is completely missing, even when the Sim has sufficient Influence Points and voting is active.
Additional Notes:
- This interaction is documented as a core feature of the Influence system in Eco Lifestyle, described in multiple guides as being accessible via clicking on a Sim and selecting "Convince to Support NAP" .
- The Eco Innovator aspiration specifically requires Sims to "Convince a Sim to Vote on specific NAP" to complete the Civil Citizen milestone .
- The Research & Debate skill from Discover University includes "Convince to..." interactions, but those are separate from the NAP-specific Influence system .
- Players have reported similar UI issues with NAP-related interactions, including phone calls prompting voting even when NPC voting is disabled .
- Players with the Influential Individual trait (earned by completing the Eco Innovator aspiration) should be able to "instantly convince other Sims to support any NAP" , suggesting the interaction is intended to exist and function.
Impact:
High. This bug blocks progression for the Eco Innovator aspiration, as the Civil Citizen milestone requires convincing a Sim to vote for a NAP . Without this interaction, players cannot complete the aspiration through normal gameplay. Additionally, the bug removes a key strategic element of the Eco Lifestyle pack—the ability to influence community voting outcomes through social interaction—reducing the depth of the NAP system and forcing players to rely solely on their own votes or cheats to enact desired plans.
