'Die' bubble option for Sims with Assassination Skill?

Post by LisaDKG » June 18th, 2019, 1:53 pm

I always play with one or more sims in my town that have the assassination skill. It is generally working great (much much better than the early days of this mod) and adds some nice drama to my game.
My question is this:
I'm not sure when this appeared but I see now that when I play another sim as active (same household, or otherwise and not necessarily with or without the assassination skill) and click on my assassin, the first interaction bubble option that appears along with 'Friendly', 'Romantic', etc. is 'Die'. Clicking 'Die' then gives you the options for the active sim to cause the assassin to 'Die By Poison' or the corresponding death for the assassin level of the assassin. Selecting a 'Die By' option causes the active sim (even with no assassination skill) to kill the assassin immediately.
I've checked the mod FAQ regarding "User-Directed Progression Kill" but I'm assuming that all of the settings you are choosing to limit the types of sims your assassin can kill, are pertaining to the assassin's actions. Providing the "Die" option for any active sim to kill an assassin with an actual assassination skill accomplishment does not really seem very sporting!!! Not to mention it is an odd option to see when it constantly comes up in the interactions when you are playing with an assassin's household member - and they have the very best of relationships!
Is this a mistake within the mod or am I just missing the advantage?
Thank You!

Are you using the testing version of careers? Do you have debugging enabled in Careers?

No I was using Version 87 with no debugging. But after reading this I did try and experiment with Version 88a with and without debugging. I'm not 100% but I think using debugging with either version resulted in anyone in the household having the 'Die' bubble option available when interacting with any sim (not just with the assassin) - but the options for killing might be greyed out due to not having the skill. Debugging turned to false with either Careers version gave the results I described in my original post.

Very odd, not sure why this isn't occurring for others. I'll make a note to look into it.
