AwesomeMod Bug Report Thread

OK, crashed again. This time it happened when I clicked on the water trough thingy.

Small bug but I may aswell mention it. It appears when changing the lot zoning to community. The lot type list looks like this with AM:


After removing AM it returns to normal. Weird...

[J. M. Pescado]

What is "normal"? Show me a screenshot of "normal". What's "normally" in that blank area, if anything?

[blackninja]

I just installed the new version of AM.  It worked a lot longer than it has been working, let me play maybe like 2-3 minutes instead of 10 seconds.  Still CTD though after a few minutes.  I have no CC, no othermods, full clean install except for AM.  Although I was having crashing problems without AM, although that could have been related to an outdated no cd crack.

[Moryrie]

This is what the list looks like (to me) without AM.

[Maranatah]

It looks like above for me too without AM.

When my sim was trying to train her new dog to hunt with AM in place, to see if there was a conflict with the newly fixed Spellbook/Fountain, both of their needs started dropping rapidly to the point where I had to set needs to static to keep them from dying instantly.

edit: And I crashed about 8 sim hours later.

[J. M. Pescado]

That's quite odd, considering that nothing has modded dog training yet. Do you have a save of this setup right before it occurs, along with what you do to trigger it, that I could look at?

[Moryrie]

No. But I could probably re-create one.

Got it. Just have the lady select the 'train to hunt' option on the adult dog. Dogs motives will drop. Fast. If you raise the dog's motives up, they'll continue dropping again. Sim's motives are dropping too, but not as fast as the dog's.

Investigated motive drop issue. Apparently it is caused by chain-EAxis-fail, because they made some odd assumptions in the code without bothering to error-check. No idea WHY that happens. The error probably exists in the EAxis version, too, but is hidden from the user because of the way they timestamp.

Registered to report a bug.

My sim is a firefighter and the game was running fine until she got a disaster job to deal with, it crashed to desktop after a few minutes, I've updated to the latest AM and taken out all other mods and it's still happening. She works from home and had recently got a horse. I don't know if it's the horse or the job causing the crash. Is there any other information you need?

I'm also experiencing this. I suppose it's hardly gamebreaking... but still, it's a visual annoyance.

Relating to the dog motive drop when training. I haven't tried it in game myself but believe it may be partially deliberate due to this info found in the Lessons; "Make sure to include some play time in between training sessions as dogs can quickly become fatigued while being trained".

ETA: Should have kept my mouth shut until I tested in game myself. Played first off without AM and trained a dog to level one of hunting with no issues what so ever. Motive drop was very reasonable.

Reloaded the save today to contiinue training and, after the Sim and dog were reset in place and I re-qued training, the dog's motives dropped almost immediately into the red!

[LadyAmarra]

I found the following: The rapid motive drop is not only a dog thing. Horses seem to have it too. I played a horse for several hours without AM and he's at level 9 now, barely dropping a sweat - with AM however, his motives drop within about a second into the red. Especially the thirst is red so fast, he virtually drops the training action as soon as the icon pops up in the corner which makes training impossible.

The game also still crashes - black screen and the previously mentioned Sims 3 does not work anymore note: it takes between a couple of seconds and a whole sims day.

Testing with AM being the only mod in my folder; it crashes every time that I try to go through a tomb in World Adventures.

When I remove AM, it plays just fine and doesn't crash.

I have patch 1.26 but I don't have Pets.

This is more than 'quickly fatigued'. This is everything but social and fun dropping at a rate that causes a 'feed your dog before the social worker comes and gets him' balloon to pop up, within a few seconds of initiating the action.

[J. M. Pescado]

Check the latest version, this should be fixed now.

[ElectricSimmer]

Trying newest versioon, hopefuly the crash is fixed :S

[J. M. Pescado]

Cannot identify any reason for Pet Store Register malfunctions, as this is an unmodified core-game object not intrinsic to the store.

[Claeric]

Still getting CTD with absolute newest AM.

[Trinity]

Yes, the motive drop is crazy! It happened to me with a horse ... every time I would send the horse off lot to anywhere it's motives would drop very quickly. I have been playing with AM removed for about a sim week now and all the animals can leave the lot with worrying about them getting taken by the social worker or whatever it is that comes to take them.

I should say that I didn't play with AM for very long, because my stupid pets kept getting taken away because I wasn't realizing what was happening, till my horse that had all high motives got taken away when I sent him to the equestrian park. I had sent my sim over there to make him happy again but she was at work and by the time she got there it was too late.  

Also I was playing one of the pre-made families the Marshall family and I noticed I could not send both adults to work at the same time, every time I would try to send the husband or wife to work and the other was already there, the one I was trying to send just kinda dropped the que. He/she would call the cab or the family vehicle but it would just drop out of the que. Not sure what was going on, I thought maybe it was because they had a fowl but when the horse grew up, they still couldn't leave the house at the same time.  

[ElectricSimmer]

Crashed again.

[RebelRed]

Just uploaded the newest version and I CTD within a minute of game play. AM is the only mod, I have PETS now, and patched to 1.26.

[ElectricSimmer]

Meh, mine lasted 15 minutes this time.

[J. M. Pescado]

Well, I found out the cause of the "Blank lines" in Edit Town, anyway: Having EnableLotLocking that enables you to click the locks also displays "hidden" lot types, which do not have strings. Not really AwesomeMod specific, other than that AwesomeMod turns that on when you enable testingcheats by default. Next version will include added strings. Trying to reproduce mysterious crashes now.
