Something's off with MC's numbers

Post by babele44 » August 26th, 2013, 5:57 pm

I just noticed that MC seems to have some difficulties with counting Sims :)
Example: when I ask for the personal status of all children in my neighbourhood (10: 8 resident, 2 service) by going via Sim/Status/Personal/Age the number under Count is 18.
For the elders (15 resident) the number given is 20.
I don't know whether other filters are affected, too. When I ask for Personal Status and add Type of Sim (And)/Resident the numbers are correct as far as I can see.

It counts all residents in that pool including resident pets, so that may be your issue. Try filtering by Species>Human first :D

Unfortunately, I don't have any resident pets, so I don't think that it is that. I also do not have any hidden elders or children in the homeless or service pools or among the dead, neighbourhood pet adoption is disabled and I haven't traveled to other places either. When I add any additional filter to Age the numbers do appear to be correct so I haven't got a clue where MC might find these numbers when I only apply Age.

When you use the "Age" filter and view the list of elder sims, are there actually 20 sims listed ? Are are only 15 displayed for selection ?

Yes, only fifteen are displayed. Same with the children, the list shows the thumbnail and name of the 10 children that the world actually has, while Count says that there should be 18.

I'll have to check that out in my towns. The count is most likely accounting for some sim which cannot be listed normally. At the moment though, I'm not sure what that would be.

INGAME TESTING, if issue is resolved.
