Mod still needs an update: Broken-ish #56
-
|
I know this mod is outdated but it was still working up until the most recent patch. On Wednesday I was playing with a Scenario household and my teen sim died from embarrassment. So I reloaded my save, so I could try saving my sim from death but then my computer crashed after I loaded up the save. After everything was working again, I turned the game back on, loaded the save and I couldn't click any of my sims. The sim pie menu wouldn't show up but it did for everything else. I did lots of things and finally 50/50'ed my Mods and ControlAnySim was the cause. Which was weird because everything was fine up until the crash. So for now it's been removed from my game. I hope you find the time to update this soon. If not, maybe you could ask someone to take over for you temporarily. |

Delete the json file located in the control any sim folder, wherever you have it located. You should be able to load the game again. The mod isnt broken it just doesnt error trap that very well. Sims no longer in the world will cause an access violation when they are "selected" because they no longer exist as selectable. The mod has always had this problem. It will probably never beccome outdated unless EA decides to rewrite the python code for selecting sims |

No problem. If you happen to find the files somewhere (on your desktop, in the trash bin, wherever), just attach them to a comment whenever you want. |

Ok, so your JSON file just contains a bunch of garbage data, which broke the mod. The good news is that I just implemented a fix for such a case and the mod will now clean up such a broken file. The fix will be part of the next version. Thanks for providing the files. |

I'm wondering if you should just go ahead and add the ability to select sims while on vacation since it's also been an issue for a while. Some ppl have requested this so I added it & those using my mod have that ability, it extends some of the capabilities of ControlAnySim inc other features. I did the work for you already although you might find a better way of doing this. Reference below: |

As a first step, could you open a New issue and describe what is going wrong in the current Version of the mod? I understand this is a bug that occurs when you try to make Sims selectable while on vacation? |
