"Wrong" wishes when traveling

Post by KittyTheSnowCat » July 15th, 2017, 3:42 pm

Hi Everyone,
I traveled with my Sims from a town that is currently in winter to a town that is insummer and where it is really hot. But my Sims keep wishing to go iceskating and build igloos. Is there any way to fix that?

Yes. Allow them to go ice skating on the "pond that must surely be frozen over by now" when it's sunny and 95 deg F just once and I guarantee you that will be an experience they will never forget. Just kidding of course, but it's tempting to try that when this happens. :)

There is unfortunately no way to manipulate the dream manager even when it starts producing nonsensical or wrong time of year wishes like that, I think many of us must see this. The closest we can get is giving it a swift kick to restart it.

I'm (almost) positive that MC has a Reset switch for the Dream Manager somewhere, but am not in game at the moment to look for it and our documentation appears to be lacking (or I'm thinking of a different mod). Will check on this. But a Town > Reset Everything, although a bit more drastic, should also do this. Sims will get some "beginning of the game" type wishes for a while but then should settle down again and perhaps they will at least be better aligned to reality.

DebugEnabler has the "Restart Dreams" command. I don't recall anything from MC.

I get the wish to go ice skating all year round in this one CC world I'm playing. I don't know why; I don't usually see that wish. It's just something I dismiss each time it comes up.

Yes, but when it comes with Hang Holiday Lights and the other obviously wrong wishes, something might be stuck on the Dream Manager end. And BAH! on DebugEnabler, no wonder I couldn't find the command. Yes, that's the one I meant. Must.Have.More.Coffee. :)
