    I got an opportunity to give psychic help to the police, and after my Sim went down to the police station and came out, the "completed Opportunity" music repeatedly played for almost an Sim hour until I right clicked on the Opportunity to get rid of it. The Opportunity tracker still said that she needed to go to the police station even though she had just come out of the police station.

    Edit to add info. My Sim was in the Ghost Hunter Profession when she got the opportunity (I wanted to see if the Ghost Hunter glitch was fixed.)

    I have tested a whole sim year using the new patch and here are the bugs that i have noticed in my game. All of my games have only been installed since Dec 25 also.


    I am running no mods atm but usually run all of twailens mods and some CC mods from MTS. I also have another CC ridden Sims 3 folder with the player made world New York which i love to play, but the current folder I am testing this patch with is clean with no mods or CC and very little store content.

    Bugs

    My sims read too much and have a lot of books in their inventory perhaps is normal and i am use to onceread taking care of this for me. But honestly if it is normal EA should know its highly annoying.

    My two adult sims each have a book stuck in their inventory which is none clickable.

    My toddler read an invisible book on the floor beside the bookshelf.

    Horses spawn in a world when they are disabled.

    leaves that fall on the ground in the fall do not vanish, they are still there in the spring and all the neighbourhood lots and npc lots are messy because of this, I find this highly annoying.

    I always have one deer in the town that becomes invisible and this is not because my graphics card is terrible, my card is great quality.

    There is no opition for my teen sims to find a part time job. They simply can not find one.


    The school bus still picks kids up on a snow day.


    If you order a singer for a party she get interupted during her peformance and can not sing.


    Finally, yes, i was invited to a party a the end of winter and i was in swim wear, This could be bacause my winter was adjusted to 10 days instead of the default 7 days.

    I hope these help you and hope i did not repeat bugs that have been already posted. I just wanted to inform you about this since my game is newly installed and totally clean, plus my machine is so far above the base requirements it can not be my hard ware it has to be the game itself. Hope this helps.

    @sue6point7b: The gifting system seems wonky at. Do you have issues with any of them ?

    I have tested with 2 of my friends and the issues are with the new gifts that were released with 1.50, not the "normal" old ones.

    My friend S can send all gifts to friend L (both 1.50 release ones and the old ones) - and vice versa
    I can send all gifts to both friends (both 1.50 release ones and the old ones)
    The problem occurs when my friends try to send the new 1.50 release gifts to me, the options are greyed out, but they have no problem sending the standard old gifts.

    It just seems weird that I can send the new gifts to them, but they can´t send them to me.

    @rosahege: Is it the same house you used before with new Sims and are you still getting new onmiplants ?

    @Ricalynn: I'll add

    @Snakefire30: There was one other report on that. Was the police station a multi or single rabbithole ?

    @Drguyks: I'm going ahead and assume your issue is solved

    @svlyn

    - Sims always seem overly-obessed with certain activities and they always get new books. That's how it's always been but seeing your other issue, there might be more to that. I'll add
    - The option only stops adoption, not strays.
    - Yes, Graham said it was due to mods but I know it's not. I'll put on the not fixed list with a note
    - I'll add
    - Not on the rabbitholes or the newspaper ?
    - Yeah, that has been the case from the beginning. Should be in the Seasons bug thread
    - I'll add
    - I'll add

    @sue6point7b
    - I'll add that extra info

    ----

    I won't have too much time this weekend, frankly none at all tomorrow until the evening. Today is the last day we can go skiing, weather seams to clear up again, tomorrow we'll be leaving here but have to make a few stops on the way home (yeah, I can go pick up my new power supply so I should be on my regular laptop soon).

    I'll check back in tonight and do the adding before I go to bed. Not much time right now.

    Wasn't the bug where sims dance with the door supposed to be fixed? Like they go through the door then turn around and glitch going back through the door again then finally going through the door as intended.

    Specifically this part "Sims will no longer occasionally flip or stutter when trying to walk through doorways."

    It's gotten better, yes, but my sims still do it. Just not as bad as before. This is with the walls down. Is there something I am missing? I do have some of Twallan's mods but I removed the old ones, redownloaded the new patch ones so they are all updated.

    Also since installing the patch my game lags something fierce. Anyone else having this issue?

    In my game, when the message come out, It says There is a sale at !, enjoy the 50% off, something like that. I remember that was in Late Night, but I don't have that anymore.I think the bug is back. Can you check that out if your game says that too? I live in the new world that just came out. It didnt happen before until I install the patch. Also my sims work, but i dont see the arrows like its going up.. It just go up..

    @snakefire & Crin -- Since Supernatural came out, Sims have been getting that opportunity because of their supernaturalness or skill but it only completes for those in the fortune teller career. Since your Sim was a ghost hunter, you should have never received it.

    Hey back again..

    My teen can get a job on the computer and from the newpaper just not the rabbit holes directly.

    I retested my singer this morning and he came and did not reset. Even tried hiring a in my previousely played MV world that and the hire singer works perfectly so i would remove that as a glitch.



    Thanks again.

    My Sim was a normal human, but had been increasing her logic skill for the Ghost Hunter Career logic requirement.

    Hi

    I've notice that when my Sims kids are taking Scouting for after school activity, and then the message comes up saying - it's time to go to school/gym to get their badging award for scouting - when I click on the school/stadium - there's no option for them to go to school/stadium to attend the badging ceremony. The message doesn't give a "specific" time to attend" - but after awhile, I get a (not the exact wording here) "your sim miss the ceremony", but the badge later appears in their inventory.

    My sims won't change into their outerwear even though it is snowing and they are not getting the cold moodlet.

    The only mods I have are the skip intro and sparkle build. I actually took them out and it is still happening.

    They change in their outerwear as long as time is regular. If I use ultra speed through current action (4) they will not change after that. As a matter of fact (4) is acting like ultra speed (3). It won't stop after the current action is done.

    My game was fine after the update. I did a build and used moveobjects on to move a sleeping sim out of my way. I've done that before and not had a problem...I won't do that again.

    I've also evicted the family but then moved them right back in the house. I didn't know I needed to put them in the save bin first. I'm going to try that next to see if that will help.

    @Banksy33: I'll add

    @ScaperClaudia: Yes, it's supposed to be fixed. I'll add

    For lags: Use the cheat Resetsim *

    @SimGirl21: Not sure what you are talking about. Please also answer the questions in the second post and remove any mods you might have

    @Rubysim: Is the other Sim in a band or plays an instrument ? There is a bug in LN that kinda sticks the music to the Sim even though they're not playing anymore. Let them play the instrument again and it should go away.

    Could also please answer the questions in the second post.

    @Snakefire30: I'll add it with Ricalynn extra info

    @svlyn: Ok, thanks. I do remember having issues with the part time jobs on the rabbit holes for a while now. Not sure if it has something to do with the afterclass activities (like when they overlap). Does your teen have an afterclass activity ?

    @azul662: Is it a Multi Rabbithole ? Please also answer the questions in the second post.

    @Nirar22: I'll add that. I don't check the CAW forum so please post back if you know more about this.

    @bngbedard: Do they have the never cold LTR ? I'll add though

    1.50 patch


    I'm playing in BP and three times in a row now my game has gone frozen, despite BP and my game running better than ever. I know my sim had her lifetime happiness rewards last night when I played because I did her first singing gig and she was awesome thanks to in part her engaging reward amongst 4 others. Now I have none, but my total reward number says 77,500 like it should, but my rewards are gone.

    I have used "CAS" cheats on her.

    I just used resetSim. I dont know when exactly this happened.

    Offering it here because I've never seen this happen in Sims 3 before.

    Only one sim can be assigned a bed. It isnt possible for two sims to be assigned the same bed especially with unplayable roomates even when its one double bed and there best friends. I think this is a bug.
