Smart milk being put in fridge: why?? Up until now I haven't figured out how to use the Smart Milk. Don't misunderstand me, I don't have any problem preparing the milk. I just have a problem getting it to the toddler. Whenever I make Smart Milk my sim always goes and puts it in the fridge! Why on sims planet is it doing that? Even when my toddler is waiting in the feeding chair, the sim puts the milk in the fridge. When I choose "get bottle of milk for ..." (or whatever is reads) on the fridge, am I actually getting the Smart Milk that was prepared earlier or was that just lost? I noticed that Smart Milk, when it's freshly prepared, has some blue shine on it, but when the sim gets the bottle of milk from the fridge it just looks like a regular bottle. Anyone any ideas about this? Am I doing something wrong here??
In my experience of the game my toddler will only be given Smart Milk when he or she is sat on the floor and not sat in the high chair. If they are sat in the high chair the parents put the milk in the fridge, like you described. I hope that helps.
I think it's caused by the chair. I have never used the chair in any family I have, because it's just an item which costs extra money and appears to provide no benefit other than wasting a space in a nursery I try to keep small already due to its limited purpose, and simply adds an extra bothersome step to the food-to-baby pipeline. It's also reported that there are bugs associated with it, as well as Sims becoming obsessed over it. Does it actually provide a useful function? And smart-milk put in the fridge is simply wasted. Only do this with red smartmilk, which has gone bad. Never feed red smartmilk to babies.
Well, it keeps the toddler fixed in its position so that it can't go toddling off while your sim is preparing the smart milk... But if this chair is the cause of all trouble then I'll have to get rid of it and feed the toddler its milk while it's sat on the floor.
I've never had the toddler wandering about while the smart milk is being prepared: He's usually seated in front of his toy, and the parent just drops the bottle on the floor, which works fine.
The smart milk had me confused, too. I liked the high chair to start with ... if only for the amzing tantrums the toddlers were capable of; by the way anyone had a toddler fall out of the cot yet? Now that doesn't fit my observations. Parents invariably seek to pick up the child and carry them over to the SM machine, when given the "feed smart milk" order. With ordinary milk my sims do just fetch the milk to the child dropping the bottle on the floor ... eventually ... any chance of losing that piece of dumb activity? btw
Well, it helps if you understand the layouts on my home: Invariably, every home where children will be raised will have a room designated to be the nursery. The children's toys are in there. The milkmachine is in there. The crib is in there, or a subroom of it. Authorized Personnel Only bars random folks from entering. The thing I've noticed, however, is that the parent will not fetch the baby if the baby is present in the same room as the milk machine, whereas "Get Bottle For" from the fridge never fetches the baby. Nonetheless, I'll look into this.
LOL It's a bit of a brave new world over at Pescado Towers I perceive. Are you currently working on a subliminal learning program so that young sims can be skilling even while they're sleeping or on the potty. While you're at it how about a hacked toilet for the elderly. They need to go more often and seem to take longer about it. I wondered about contacting that nice mister Dyson about getting him to invent the world's first TwinCyclonicTurboSimVacuator to provide vacuum assistance in emptying those tired old bladders ... tho' it might just be easier to hack the old timers instead and make 'em 'go' quicker. I'm gonna have to ban myself now for going off topic.
