The Great Purge quest (Pirates and Nobles) - can't finish

[Srikandi]

I've completed all the steps in this quest. I get the illustrated story where you blow up the ship. After that though... my monarch just leaves the ship, and the quest doesn't complete, though there are no more steps.

I tried using ctrl-click to complete the last step in the quest, but I get the same result... no quest completion.

Anybody succeeded in doing this?

Or a cheat that would let me force quest completion? I'd really rather not just drop it, was a long and painful quest >< And having been away from the game for a while, I can't remember all the cheats *blush*

[DarthKitsune]

perhaps you needed to acquire an object in order to complete the quest? I know that you cannot advance on the Golems of Ticktop quest without at least building a prototype armor, the rest you can ctrl+click away.

[Srikandi]

Certainly nothing mentioned in the quest instructions... I did all the rest of the steps the old-fashioned way.

[DarthKitsune]

Ah, then I am so sorry, it must be a glitch and you'll have to do it over. I hate when that happens.

[Jess_A]

Since I have started this quest, and I will let you know if I have similar problems.

[Srikandi]

thanks Jess :)

how do you finish the incident quest? i cant pick up the interrogation chair? thx

[DarthKitsune]

I got the interrogation chair, but one of the musicians left and never returned, when i clicked on her yellow thing i couldn't do anything. i tired incident a second time, and after i confronted the man about the sword, the next quest response didn't pop up. *Sigh* let the problems begin.

I sometimes get this error after control clicking through a step.

I need an answer to this question too. I have tried numerous ideas on how but it isn't working at all.

[DarthKitsune]

I'm pretty sure some of these quests are bugged. I've redone the incident quest 4 times, and everytime, one of the "Talent" leaves the kingdom, and never returns. I also couldn't complete the "Beast" quest because the guy wouldn't go die.

[Outfit_Planner]

new patch, new ep, new bugs; par for the course.

[Jess_A]

This quest is seriously messed up!
I haven't had the problem with ending the quest, I can barely get halfway through!
Too many glitches and bugs to mention, but mostly all the important people to talk to during the quest get stuck on the path coming from the village market, and coming from the forest.
Their map tags shows up but they won't move from those spots and when I click on them, it just says their sleeping and the 'wake up' button appears but does not do anything.
After waiting a few days for them to actually walk in to my kindgdom I got tired of waiting for them to unstick and quit the quest.

I finished this quest and began another with a different sim. While doing the other quest, I noticed my monarch was stuck in the reception hall. I completed the quest, saved then shut down the game. When I logged back in, my kingdom needed a new monarch.

[drummajor212]

I've just now tried this quest too, and I have the same problem - I've finished the quest, but the game won't recognize it. My monarch is just chilling on the beach, and I'm waiting for the quest end dialogue, but....nothing. Very irritating, especially for such an involved quest.

[~Rill~]

I've had no problems with it O__o the quest just ended, like... normally. Firstly, though, my monarch was stuck on the beach, but reloading the game fixed it.

[DarthKitsune]

I've finally beaten this ambition, and I swear I wont be playing it over. it kinda sucked. the only good result was the nifty gift at the end.

[paigeturnersims]

I do think it's glitchy, but realised that the reason I couldn't finish the Purge quest was that I'd made the leftmost room on the upper floor private to owner only (it's a library and everyone just stands in there reading all the freaking time) and the damn advisor wouldn't leave the castle to go to the feast hall which meant that there was no way I could continue, but after a reload I didn't make that room private and everyone went where they were supposed to. Btw next quest and the advisor and servant are still the same, which is good I guess, the king's really close with his advisor and I was a little miffed that the quest didn't give me a choice on whether to kill her off or not.

Jess,


On sims sticking I had somewhat the same problem with pregnant sims not waking shorrtly before giving birth. If you can view the actual sim you may try shift+right click to control it and try teleporting it then shift+right click on the sim to put it out of your control. If you have grim's core mod there maybe a debug action you can use (can not recall all of them). if you get an' object' selection from right clicking you may try a ' force reset ' option, or try to save when buggy then quit and then go back into game.

Managed to complete this quest without problem, but it's not a very nice one. I really felt bad about my nice king being such a dick. (sorry) One thing I've noticed, and it may be lag time on my computer, but during a lot of these P&N quests there's a big pause between the final storyboard-style slide show and the end-of-quest pop-up.

[DarthKitsune]

I noticed that as well

[grim667]

I can't brew the potent royal crownie it dosent show up in the cask screne

[DarthKitsune]

mine was missing from the list as well, i had to remove a mod to get it to show up.

[lilstew11]

I started the great purge quest, and I can't pick up the Interrogation Chair. I have a mac so I do not know if that would affect things. But if anyone could help. It would be appreciated. Thank you.

[TotallyNewHere]

you don't ''pick it up''. it appears in your family inventory.

[falcophoenix]

I have the same problem with this quest. :x The "Royal Crowne" recipe doesn't show up at all in the cask when the task shows up to brew it, and shift+ctrl+clicking the task to make it go away results in the "serve royal crowne" interaction on both the advisor and servant remaining stuck until the "end" of the quest. And by that I mean I get to the illustration of the exploding ship and after closing it the quest just won't end. Several sim days go by with nothing happening. I know I don't have any mods that affect recipes, and apparently the autocompletequest cheat was removed from the game with one of the patches, nor did emptying my caches fix anything. I just don't know what to do other than avoiding this quest altogether. :/

I wonder if perhaps part of the problem in getting this quest to end, lies in what drink you're serving from the cask. I'm aware we're all brewing the correct drink, but the first time I played through this I chose to serve the advisor and servant the tampered drink from the cask. When the quest should have ended they were invisible on the docks with their map tags still showing, and both tags still showed the "serve potent royal crowne" tool tip.
I reloaded from a previous save (which luckily was just as my king should have been selecting what to brew), and noticed the tampered drink is actually reapers scythe, and not potent royal crowne, so the second time I chose the standard "serve drink", and the quest ended normally.
I think maybe the games recognizing that you served a drink regardless of what that drink is, till it should end and it then picks up you've still to serve the correct drink but by then it's too late??? Seems a little odd to check at the end after it's okayed the interaction, which makes me wonder if the quest ending from the back up kingdom was just luck, but it's also odd that they hang around invisible on the docks with that tooltip after I served them both the wrong drink.
Can people whose quest didn't end confirm whether they used serve drink, or serve tampered drink, if you still remember. It would be nice to have an answer to at least one of the quests that won't end for a large number of people.
