Things I've Noticed Since The Pool Patch

Hi,
Some of these have been mentioned on other threads, but I've noticed these 4 things since the patch:
1. Set as front door is no longer working.
2. Cannot knock on any doors
3. Can't minimize on pressing the windows key. The fix mentioned only works on the current game. Once you exit it resets.
4. The male sims flush before finishing peeing.
Anyone else noticed this?
Cheers

for #3. I saw in another post that the patches (all of them) reset the graphics options for some people. Have you looked into this? Another poster, whom I will not mention, was having the same issue until she noticed another post about the resetting issue. I play in windowed mode. Everything works as it did from the beginning. I'm also on a desktop. My other half is on a laptop. More issues seem to arise on that end.
I'm on a PC, but have it set to laptop mode (don't ask - graphics issue). I'll try windowed mode and see if that helps. I just am getting tired of work- arounds.
P.s. Clicking on the walls worked for the "knock on door" interaction.
Cheers,
Glad it worked. Was hoping I wasn't the only one with no problems.
Hey. Your rig is your business. All I know is laptop Mode and having the check in Uncrompressed Sim Texures appear to be the evil of this world.
You don't need to explain your business, but have you tried the lowest settings without using laptop mode? Can you still play well? I agree with the distaste of the workarounds. On the bright side, though, you don't need a mod to fix it.
You can also add that when you group up sims in your group just walk off the lot for no reason and leave. This was a big problem with TS3 and now since this patch it's happening frequently on community lots.
Just spent the last while futzing around (technical term - sorry
Cheers
I'm sad for you. If you're on a tower, there's still hope. Graphics cards are fairly cheap these days if it's within your grasp. It may not help much in the future for expansions, but for now, it may be a workaround.
So sorry. I know that spending money is not always the solution we want to hear. I come from a heavily taxed region.... This, I know.
Actually, you read my mind. I was just browsing online for graphics cards at future shop. Is your heavily taxed region in Europe?
I'm fortunate that where I live I only have to pay the federal sales tax, we don't have a provincial sales tax too.
Europe and Australia have it worse than us. I'm in BC. Jeebus, are you in AB?
Howdy, neighbour!
Not any more. We just moved to AB in late August to get away from the freaking taxes!
Well, I'm in Alberta, too. Sorry, stuck with me as a neighbour.
Nah. I'm a recluse (except for online). I'd never know if you were my neighbour. Actually, been all over CAN. Always wanted to wind up where I am now though. Started in the darkest Northwest corner of CAN. Any idea where that is?
Ivvavik national park in the Yukon?
NWT. Hay River. Was born there. BC is written in Inuvik. Lived in Ft. Nelson as a child, From there, lived in the Great TO (Also heavily taxed.) Went back to BC in the 90's and regretted it ever since.
My dad was in the oil patch and we moved 10 times in 12 years between Calgary and Ottawa.
I feel your pain. We've gone on 3 major long distance moves since last year. Getting a bit tired of it, which is why I want to stay in the bipolar town I'm in now. I always loved Calgary. Edmonton too. But Never loved Jasper--Other than driving through it....
I love to drive, been across CAN so many times that I can't say enough how beautiful it is in each and every area.
We Canadians are truly blessed. I was watching a video review of V for Vendetta and the reviewer made a comment about how all countries were screwed up and then he said "Except Canada. Canada's got it plum together!"
I really hope that's true, but if you came from BC, you might not agree.
Beautiful to drive through, but not so much to live in if you don't mind paying for everything from the 'Welcome tax' to the 'Medical.' I give them kudos for nice ways to say it though...
Anyways, off to bed. You know what time it is and my falling alseep in the chair last night didn't go well with my other half...
Have a good one.
I immediately noticed that I could no longer minimize with the Windows key...and it was making me crazy. My play style is to play one of my families for about 3 sim days, then minimize, go to my story log book and write out the story of what transpired.
What I'm now forced to do is to use control-alt-delete to bring up the task manager, which, fortunately, also takes me back to the desktop. I then exit out of the task manager and go to my story log file. It's a nuisance.
Thanks, EA, for plumming up the works again.
Lets make this a reality!
