Hello all,
i have 3 questions regarding KW that have bugged me for quite some time, i have followed this thread actively for almost 2 years but i don't think it has been brought up (or maybe i missed it, sorry if this is the case); i hope somebody can help me out with those:
1) Butlers. KW has ALWAYS broken Butlers for me. Without KW Butlers actually work quite well in my games...they repair stuff, clean stuff, take take of children...all that stuff. With WK, however, they are just completely unusable. They no longer interact with children at all, they sometimes seem to head into the direction of something that needs cleaning/fixing but abort this action within seconds and never finish. Basically, when i use KW, Butlers are just running circles in my home, sitting down on different chairs but don't do anything useful.
Am i the only one with this issue? Is there a KW option that can fix it? Are other using KW but still have functioning Butlers?
2) Brothels. They have never worked for me. Like...ever. When i open a brothel the game spawns customers. If i assign whores to it (no matter if NPCs or members of my active household) they do solicit customers...most of the time the customer accepts (i usually set my whores to high attractiveness) - and then 9 out of 10 times nothing happens. The interaction simply aborts immediattely. If the whore is an active household member i can actually see the woohoo-interaction in the Q for a split second...then it is gone.
This does NOT happen on any other lot type. If i assign my whores to work on public lots or even my own Resort - it DOES work. The woohoo starts normally. Only in the brothel this strange auto-cancel happens - and it happens almost every time.
Is it supposed to be like that? Does my brothel use the wrong lot type? I tried many different combinations....residental, community - club, community - disco etc....did not really make a difference. Could it be a conflict with another mod? I use some NRaas mods. but i have tried this with and without them - did not make a difference.
Is my brotel maybe missing certain rooms/objects that are required for it to function?
Also, my bouncers and janitors don't do what they are supposed to most of the time, either. Bouncers will "sometimes" guard the doors - but then they will just wander around the brothel, use dancepoles or something, in the middle of their shift. I never had them defend a whore, either. The best thing i can hope for is for them to stand in front of the door and do nothing.
3) Private Rooms. I remember when i used KW the first time more than 2 years ago if two sims agreed to woohoo they would search the active lot for a private place to do it. Sometimes they would run for a small closet on the other side of the lot, just to get some privacy. I actually liked this behaviour.
I don't know which KW version changed that, but it was a long time ago. Ever since my sims usually only check if the settings allow them to woohoo right where they stand in this very moment (privacy/exhibition settings) - and if they don't, they will cancel the woohoo saying something like "we cannot do this here". This ESPECIALLY bugs me when assigning whores to places. Like described above, Brothels don't work for me - but other lots do. And if i assign them to my Resort they will successfully solicit sims and start to woohoo - but i would like them to search for a private room, ideally a bed or couch or something. What happens, however, is that they start to woohoo right in the dining room or next to the pool. If i set the privacy settings higher, they just cancel the woohoo all together.
Is it supposed to work like that?
Sorry for the long post, but if somebody knows how to fix any of these issues or can at least confirm that this is indeed how it is supposed to work, i would be grateful.
