Clipping and Other Such Oddities … «12...Next Go

GalacticGal

First up, my latest game save of Erik Cantrell, as he was placing his Tile. Clipping much.

When Fame Hurts:


Next, a true oddity, that troubling moment when you realize you have cc that's gone awry:
He just proposed and she was still several Sim feet away from him. She shot across the distance (she was supposed to be jumping into his arms) I've heard it said, love hurts, but my oh my, that looks painful!



Please share your oddball photos

I think both of those sims need immediate medical attention. I just took this one like an hour ago. As you can see, Darrel Charm has no regard for anyone else's well-being....

I look forward to sharing my own oddities when they happen.

Can't share photos but the oddities are so frequent in my game they are normal. Walking through doors is routine, as is mutual impalement by body parts. Current fave is a sim, in as EA issued outfit, standing on back stairs of house and reaching for the frog log a bit beyond. Had just clicked on log to 'check for frogs'. Once frog gotten, sim then ran out to the now empty log.

May I admit that I kinda love clipping errors? Many a sims couple I wouldn't have considered otherwise were match-made by clipping.

Hugo and Emma are a couple and currently in the detective career.

On patrol Hugo got attacked by the sim in the vest, who had a problem with the Villareal family. (Well, ingame it was random, of course, but the sim the game chose to attack Hugo was very fitting.)

Thorne Bailey was so kind to hold the attacker for me while Hugo was writing the station call:



Meanwhile Emma was putting away trash a litterer had left, when in her back one of my sims started brawling with a townie. Look how nonchalantly she reached behind her back without looking! "No, you're not going anywhere. BRB with your receipt."



Emma hadn't fully finished writing, when another litterer kicked over a trash can. She turned around, showing him the half finished document, yelling:

"See that citation I'm writing for Isimud here? Just you wait, you'll get one just like it!!!"



Emma is a scarily efficient officer, by the way. She has a bachelor in Criminal Sciences (ingame I used the Villain major) and I plan to send her to law school, to become an attorney, but maybe I should keep her in the streets for a couple of sim years first.

Natural looking pools tend to have some oddities.

Ladders can also be fun.

Second photo looks like the one Sim is being carried on the shoulders of the alien Sim. LOL Great catch!

Do curtains not clip anymore? These are CC blinds and they should display in all windows except the bathroom windows on the upper floor and the door on the deck:


They display properly when playing as this household:

@Daephene That reminds me of one of my builds for granite falls. I think when I was play testing the build, I had to do something to keep the sims from sitting on the pool’s edge… I haven’t revisited the build, so I don’t remember how successful I was?

At least, I made the build on the console and it was functional for what I used it for.

I may need to test those build on the computer one of these days.

My infants keep having long, stretchy legs. Like if you pull a stretch Armstrong doll.

Mine only did that once. It's still creepy. Check your mods folder if you use mods.

I can post pics now, so here's Kaylie and her daughter Janette getting home from work and school at the same time and loading in the same spot

Those are great shots! Ever since Discover University came out, our Sims manage to stack up together upon their return.

I don’t use mods or CC any more x

I attempted to go back and replay Jamison's aging up to Toddler. Big mistake. Spent all day on it, and that save (I always do a Save As, per gaming session) apparently is glitched. I even did a game repair, which didn't help at all. I gave up and just picked things up again with the latest save. Oi! Jamison kept doing the stretchy legs in that one, too. Weird.

GalacticGal

This has to be a glitch. It most certainly is an oddity, if nothing more. First Infant Jamsion gets stuck to his auntie's feet. Then, he gets stuck to his daddy's feet. I sent Erik off of the lot, hoping this would 'fix' the problem. It did not and it was really distressing to see the babe bonk along down the stairs and then be dragged over the concrete front walkway If this isn't child abuse. I don't know what is.



As you can see, Jamison has finally fallen asleep. This whole odyssey began with the older Sims attempting to put the little guy in his crib for a well-needed nap. He was in the crib for a nano-second, but then slipped through the rails and landed between the caregiver's feet. Oi!

Is this happening with infants in general or just this one specific baby? Maybe you could just turn him into a toddler in CAS?

WildIrishBanshee

Yikes, that would be disturbing. Fortunately, none of my infants have had that glitch, or the stretch one - though I did see the stretch once.

GalacticGal

@KestrelDC This is contained (I hope) to only one of the saves (within the main save). I do Save As with each gaming session. For some reason, this one is borked. I first noticed it when the birthday party to age Jamison didn't work, inasmuch as his Daddy wouldn't help blow out candles. I tried repeatedly to get the main task of the birthday party completed to no avail. Finally, the party was over. I ended up having to age him up manually.

I got a wild hair and decided to roll back and recover a save prior to the day Jamison was to age up, to try again. That's when the infant got stuck between the feet of two separate caregivers, hence the pictures. I wasted Saturday on this ill-begotten venture and went back to the more recent save where he's already a Toddler. OOFFDDAA.

ETA: @KestrelDC Jamison's baby sisters (twins) just aged up to Infants. The problem is alive and well. If the game repair fails second time to resolve this hot mess, I'll have to see if a new game save will fix it. I may also see if the portable crib will alleviate it.
