Ok I know this is going to sound really stupid, and maybe it is my fault for being lazy... but I have a single daddy sim (actually my boyfriend in real life lol) and his toddler daughter living on a lot. Daddy sim doesn't really have all this time to potty train, teach to walk and talk, so I used the insimenator object on the child and as I assume, all went well.

I dont think it did go well. I noticed that after the baby's wants were fulfilled (daddy hold the baby, tickle baby, play with baby, etc) the want slots WERE BLUE. as in blank, as in not refreshing, nothing showed in there, NOTHING.

I didn't save, and quit the game immedaitely thinking i had done some irreparable damage that could be undone by just quitting and not saving. Anybody ever see this before? Do I need a patch? I have all the expansion packs and everything and the game swears it's up to date.

I also had a problem with sending my teens to college using the phone or computer. I could get scholarships and stuff but they wouldn't move out. Odd.

For the blank wants slot; I also had this happen to some toddlers. It should be fine when they grow into a child.

I've had it happen to sims of all ages as well. I don't know what causes it, but it seems harmless. Eventually when wants are re-rolled, they'll get something new in them,

You can force a re-roll via the insimenator too, I believe.

Or by control-clicking the want.

I think that only works with the testing cheats enabled.

You are right Drahkk

D'oh, thanks Drahkk! You can tell I play in permanent debug mode!

I've forced rerolls several times via the inseminator. Nothing. It seems harmless but man is it annoying. I thought that I'd borked my game or something.

Have you tried just letting them sleep and waking up normally for the wants to reroll?

One family I had this issue with the sim would just never get a want in that slot. Then I realized I was never letting them sleep and kept boosting their energy. After they went to bed properly and slept for a night, getting up fixed it.

I suppose that's worth a try... but it's not even nighttime yet. However I suppose toddlers do ocassionally get sleepy...lol

You have insim, just make the energy drop to 25% with the motive monitor

OooOooO... Yesh! I will try that!

It dosen't always work.

The game doesn't always have something to put in the wants panel. It will eventually reroll them. Try going to a community lot or on a date or something. You'll find they reroll quickly enough then.

Epierc32 stop resurrecting 10 year old threads.

Yes, for us oldsters it gets confusing.

Let him resurrect stuff in peace! I for one appreciate seeing active posts with answers by Pescado or Discordkitty :lovestruc

Well ****.
I killed off a Sim a couple of months ago for this, thinking there was a serious bug...

RIP Linde Mellon. I might resurrect her to a zombie because I hardly ever play zombies.

@gazania this is a ten year old necro'd thread, I am guessing that's why the disagrees.

I left this post here so joandsarah77 would not appear to be commenting about nothing.

No reason for me to prattle on about this. Hopefully, I fixed the problem. If not, there seems to be just one more thing I could try. I did all the usual fixes (and I certainly looked for fixes!), but those did not work. I'll keep that one fix in mind for a while, though. Hopefully, I will not have this happen to me again.

All previous posts have been deleted, and I will post no more on this thread.
