Frozen Sims on Dates and at Parties *fixed*

[sarianastar]

At first I thought my College Greek house was borked, because every time I would throw a party, sims would arrive, then as soon as the party started, freeze in motion. Just standing there. They cannot be interacted with, they can't be asked to leave, nothing. I made one selectable to see if there was something stuck in his queue, but there was nothing. Soon as I made him selectable, he unfroze and started autonomously interacting.

I have all SP and EP's. I updated everything that had an AL update, took out everything that didn't. Everything was working fine after installing AL until recently. It was after the alfixes hack was released, cause initially I thought that might have broke it, but I had the same thing even after removing that to test.

Now, I thought it was just parties at the Greek House, but then it happened at a birthday party I had on my Sims lot. This isn't just one lot or family, I've tried it on several. I also had a Sim go out on a date with another Sim, and the same thing happened there.  The date froze on the community lot, until I made him selectable. After that, he autonomously interacted on the date.

Towards the end of the date, they both had wants to woohoo in the car, so I directed them both to sit in the car, but once there, there was absolutely no interaction available for woohooing. At the end of the date, I couldn't ask the date back home, cause he was selectable. Upon making him unselectable any itneractions dropped out of queue and he stood there frozen. The date ended well due to my intervention, but this problem stinks. The date was a Townie. The parties had both playable sims from other lots, and townies invited to it. I'm not sure what the problem is.

I DID try using the bat box to fix on in world and off world. I didn't have boolprop testingcheatsenabled on though. When I DID turn that on then use the bat box, I got a gazillion items with errors, audio errors, app errors, errors with sims, with objects.

Hit Break Point Primitive.

That seemed to be the same error on all the object items, including like garden plot, orchard trees, pond fish.

I don't know if one has anything to do with the other, but using the bat box didn't fix the problem with sims freezing in place on dates and at parties.

Any help would be appreciative.

Getting break point errors when you use Reset All on the Batbox is normal, that is how the game resets all.

Ah okay, glad that it's a normal result then.

So then I still have no idea why my sims are freezing on dates and at parties. When I did the fix all with the Batbox, it didn't change that aspect of the problem.

What happens when you remove your entire Downloads folder?  Dump it on the desktop and load a test 'hood to see.  I bet you have an outdated hack.

This thread might help.

Thanks for the replies. I have Targa's backdrop, but none of them show up as a hack with Clean Installer. Turns out, after removing my entire Hacks folder, and grabbing new files from the hack list here, it works now. I must have had an outdated hack, even though I had thought I'd updated all awesome hacks. Thanks for the suggestions.
