Chems with long durations never expire?

[PhantomSkyfire]

Hello, I'm new...ish. Please don't throw heavy things at me! ^_^;

 

I was making a little mod for my personal use. Chems, traits, scripts, good stuff. Had some hiccups but nothing a resourceful fellow couldn't figure out on her own. However, my work hit a snag when I ran headlong into what I think might be a glitch in the game.

 

The central component of my personal mod is a chem that has a duration of 4 hours, or 14400 seconds. After a few ingame days I realized my character wasn't suffering withdrawal and eventually concluded that the chem was simply not wearing off. Turning the duration down to a reasonable number (15) made it function correctly, but any high number seems to last forever (the lowest number I tested with was 3600, or one hour).

 

Have I been sampling my own chems a little too much, or is this an actual bug in the game? If it is a thing, how do I work around it? I'm not adverse to scripting but I'd rather not if it isn't strictly necessary.

Thanks a lot. You people rock. Asked for a simple yay or nay on whether something's actually a bug and got a really swift and timely response.

We cannot answer questions to which we do not know the answer. Instead of coming back here in a temper, perhaps you should consider simply setting up a more thorough testing programme, possibly even reporting your results and conclusions so that others who discover similar situations can find your results?

Thank you for telling me that the answer to my question is unknown. If more people had your drive maybe I wouldn't have to get mock-irate just to provoke someone into answering my post. I'll let everyone know what I find once I remember why I had ever cared about the question in the first place. Edited February 10, 2013 by PhantomSkyfire
