Another Sims 3 rant:
It's just.. ugh when the game works, it's so fun, but when it doesn't work, it's annoying as hell. I mean I'm honestly starting to think there was no bug testing on this game at all. If you sim is an Architect, they go to other Sims houses and redesign rooms and buy them new items and stuff... the stupid part is, your Sim will get a bad review for things that he/she had nothing to do with.
I spent a while resigning a room for this dude, and he gave me a bad review because he "Couldn't get to his new items." which is something they say if they... well can't get to a new item. Like it's facing a wall or something. I tried redesigning it several times, and I finally figured out whatever he couldn't get to wasn't part of my design. Also the stairs only worked sometimes, so that might have been another problem.
I finally just accepted the bad review... then had Cloud come over and blow up a bunch of items which ended up killing the guy eventually... which was funny at first... but then his wife cried and I felt bad D:
So because I had saved right before turning in the redesign, I re loaded, and this time tore down the house in edit town mode. Then I did the same design for Zack in his house and ZACK liked it
Thank you Zack
But anyway, it's just annoying that things like that happen. Granted it's not like I spend all day designing these things, it sucks to spend time on it at all, only to get a bad review for something that's not your fault. Your sim will also get yelled at if there isn't enough beds in the house, regardless of if there was enough when you got there or not. I mean this is stuff that really should have been found out by testing. It's really like they didn't test it at all. And this isn't mentioning that sometimes when you're designing a home items will somehow disappear and end up in a void or something...
yes Tifa i KNOW you can't get to the new toilet I put in... how do you ever know it's there? O_o
