That's precisely what's supposed to happen! One of our requirements to push this feature from internal joke to playable feature was to solve the clipping issues that happened when we placed the camera on the Sim's face. (there's a larger story there, but we'll gloss over that for now). Greg's solution was to not draw the…
It's crazy in chat and people keep screaming at me "Turn on slow mode!" Yeah, having a minute timeout per a chatter's message doesn't help when there's literally thousands of you guys. But really that's the whole problem. There's millions of you all and there's dozens of us. I have access to the forum's stats pages, and…
Besides Nick and Arvin, @SimQARobo is another resource that's exclusively on the forums. Tagged him, and if they don't see it themselves, I'll try to remember to checkin with them monday. The first boiler plate questions they'll ask: Roughly what other packs? Does this happen on a fresh save? Are you updated to the most…
D'awwww, no problem. I'm in a position where I have enough power to help out if I can... And enough to shoot myself in the foot - so let's hope I don't completely screw too much up, haha. :-D
Oh thank goodness, I flipped the switch that I thought might auto promote New Members to Members correctly like an hour ago, but I came back to this thread and it looked like it wasn't retro active. I was hoping it would just apply on people's next post, but couldn't really tell since no one happened to be posting. I was…
Yeah, unfortunately the people I wanted to talk to about fixing this new member issue were out the majority of last week. I expect them to be back in office Monday and will see if I'm authorized to make changes that I think will fix things. Which is dangerous because then I might be the one expected to fix things ;-).…
Hey, I was searching for some other stuff on the forums and stumbled into this thread and the New Member issues. SimGurus have a few elevated permissions including to the forum management dashboard and I THINK in some convoluted way I found the right setting that MIGHT need to be changed. However I don't think we (the dev…
Sure, there's legitimate reasons to pause the game. I'm just saying that's not a valid way to play, but it's not your average game session. As for how some of that helps the game, I'm not a game engineer but I can tell you that in general loading a save (or traveling) refreshes memory(data)/interactions and using speed 1…
Depends on what you saw. @TheGoodOldGamer is absolutely right, this is NOT really a real usecase that normal players would run into. How many times do players really sit in the same lot unpaused for hours? Pausing helps the game, loading another lot helps the game, entering/exiting build mode helps the game, traveling…
