Challenge to Ranked Sparring Match

Post by SillySimmerGirl » June 19th, 2018, 9:24 pm

Does anyone know if there's a mod that allows the Challenge to Ranked Sparring Match to be done in a home world rather than having to go to China?

If not, does anyone know whether there is an XML in the GameplayData package that controls this? I've looked and can't find anything.

Thanks.

That might be an ITUN, which are XMLs that deal with interactions in particular. I'll look. Do you already have other Sims in your homeworld that might be viable contenders for your Sim?

Thanks :) Yes, there are other Sims who are viable contenders, however, the option to challenge to a ranked match is greyed out and states that it can only be done in China.

I found an ITUN called CallInviteOverSparTournamentChallenger_Phone. World Restriction Type is set to none, but Allow on All Lots is set to False. You might try changing that to true and see what happens.

Careers unlocks this for the home world. It is core blocked otherwise.

@Chain, if I install Careers will it be unlocked automatically or do I have to change the settings? I've never had the Careers mod before because I haven't had the need for it, but having ranked sparring matches sounds fun!

@Chain - Thanks so much! I'm assuming that my Sim would have to be in the Martial Arts career to unlock this as I already have Careers installed. Please let me know if this is incorrect. @theapoo - thanks for looking through the file and for your suggestion :)

It should be automatic pending and no they shouldn't have to be in the career. Enable debugging in Careers, click a Sims phone and hover on the interaction. What does the tooltip say?

@Chain - Thanks so much for pointing out that I needed to click on my Sims phone. The problem all along was me, lol! I had no idea that you had to use the phone to get a sparring partner. I had just been clicking on other Sims and asking them to spar. Even though I've owned WA for years, I've never really paid that much attention to the martial arts skill until now. There's no telling what else I'm doing wrong in this game :) Thanks again!

There's a lot of people in my real life neighborhood who make this mistake. I just ignore them, especially when having to run out to the store for something very late at night. My neighborhood is weird. :)
