Hi all. Long time lurker, first time poster here, and naturally my first post comes when I've got an error occuring within my game. Figures, don't it? Some people only start talking when they need help...

Anyway, my problem is that my sims will no longer exercise, at all. I instruct them to use a machine or work out to the TV, and all that happens is a tiny animation blip and then they stand there. And it's not just sims in an individual lot, it's all sims. I went to a community lot and everyone was just standing around the machines. I tried exercising with different households and nothing. The unusual thing is, the sims will still work out to the radio, but nothing else.

I started with Original and NL, and during that time I downloaded many mods and hacks, but none pertaining to exercising. It was just a couple weeks ago that I installed Uni and OFB together, which is when the problem began. All downloads that needed to be were updated to their OFB versions.

I ran a hack conflict detection, and it found conflicts, but none of them pertained to using the machines. In fact, all of them referred to downloads I had prior to installing the new eps, and there was no exercising problem then. Most of the conflicts listed dealt with sims getting pregnant or the nudist mod or things of that nature. There weren't even any conflicts pertaining to using any item, much less the machines.

I searched through the wide range of Sims forums for answers before making this post, and found nothing. Either the problem resolved itself or it was a case of the individual sims not being interested in exercising. So far, that hasn't been the case for me. My only thought is this could be some issue with the new installed eps, maybe a bug stemming from Uni or OFB or something. It just seems so unusual that only one option works and none of the rest, even the TV, which should be similar to the radio, doesn't work. And that just makes no sense to me...

Any advice? Thoughts? Sites I should be directed to? I'd appreciate any and all help I could get. Sure, this isn't a major issue, but it's quite the annoying one...

Thanks
