AwesomeMod Bug Report Thread

In cas:
If I randomize a sim who is suparnatural (I mean anything but human) the game freezes and have to quit.
as a workaround I can randomize the sim as a human and then select the supernatural state but yeah

And of course we can all assume that you've tested this out without AM as well, right?

I've been playing with Awesomemod for a couple years now.  Love it and have never had any serious issues.  I have Seasons installed and I'm patched all the way up.  AwesomeMod date 11/18/12.  While I was playing I noticed around 10 taxis pulling up and dropping people off on a lot.  I went over to see what was going on and the taxis were dropping off tourist sims from China.  They just kept arriving!  I counted around 60 before I closed the game down.  They were all just standing there facing the same direction starving to death lol.  Strangest thing I've ever seen on the sims.

I've also been having the issue of lots of sims dying from burning to death.

And new issue now...my sims won't sit down in the living room.  When they eat they stand or go outside and when they read they skip the livingroom and go to their beds.  I have tried many different couches and chairs in different areas in the room and have even started a new game and it's the same.

Do any of YOUR sims have this problem, or is it purely non-actives? And they ALWAYS burn, never freeze, right? I have made another tweak to see if what I think might be occurring is.

Three out of six of my sims had the overheated moodlet, it was -9 deg. C and they had been outside at the winter festival. They had been playing the festival snowball fight, but the fourth sim did not get the moodlet. Dunno if there's a connection, probably not as other people are experiencing the overheating anywhere in the neighbourhood.

Edit: Sorry, my sims had the sweating profusely moodlet, not the overheating one.

[Slymenstra]

I am having the issue with townies catching on fire as well. So far I have had 17 deaths. This was with the latest awesomemod on the DL page on the 18th. They are always the townie people who are standing idle somewhere in town, so far never NPCs and never my active sims.

They get an overheating moodlet even in the winter. Then they get a sweating profusely moodlet. Some of them I have been able to get my sim to put them out, other times the queue just keeps stopping for putting them out. My last sim died in 37 degree weather.

I gave one sim the immune to fire hidden trait and he still caught on fire. I intervened by making him selected and cancelling all of the moodlets because he was a future husband, but it was in the winter.

Right now I used mastercontroller and gave the whole neighborhood immune to heat lifetime happiness award.

And another bug I found, not with awesomemod, but with the game, the unselected sims do not stop playing horseshoes. Parties and dates pretty much suck because the sims won't stop playing unless I select them and stop them (which ends the date).

Yes, it doesn't happen without AM. I also tried AM with default configs but the bug occurred again.
However I was wrong about one thing, the bug doesn't happen with ghosts too. To sum it up:
The bug doesn't happen with both humans and ghosts. It happens with vampires, fairys and werewolves, I don't have showtime installed so I don't know about genies

If disableclothingfilter is on, then the game will start with the Custom Clothing Filter on. This is a safety measure: If you don't turn it on, the game will pretty much lock up and die as it tries to load EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE all at once while you fumble for the category you want to reach.

I've enabled this option in the config, but it doesn't seem to be working, CAS immediately loads all content (running the latest Awesomemod from 18/11).

[thegrimreaper]

Mine crashed at random times, I had to take it out because it was so unpredictable.

[vorpal]

Combustion issue seems to be fixed. Both the test save and my actual game had no human torches anymore during those last days of summer. I still have random sims feeling either hot or cold at the same time, but that seems to be EAxian and happens with or without AM.

[Maranatah]

There's no more walking fireballs in my game either, which is a huge relief. Thanks JM! Although I second what Martine said above: disableClothingFilter is on but it doesn't work.

Edit:// I noticed another issue: even though Sims 2 style aging is enabled in the Config, a non-active sim died while I was playing with another household. He was an elder who had over a week to live when I played with his household. Day before a note about his death came, there was a pop-up about him going to die soon. I've never had this kind of issues before and I've used the Sims 2 aging since it became an option with AM. Now it looks like it doesn't work. (Using the 19/11 version of AM)

[vorpal]

As it is mentioned in the rtfm that AwesomeMod fixes it, I guess it belongs here: my Sim doesn't get any moodlets from some of the Late Night drinks, especially the ones with the flame thumbnail.

The latest AM seems to be causing a vast increase in loading time for my save, to the point where I simply can't load it. I've tried several times, and after seeing the loading bar still at 1/3 after an hour I just give up. Took out AM and it loaded in about 5-10 minutes. Put it back in, and it's taking forever again.

Loading bar that never completes is patch fail.

I patched the day the patch was released, and my game has been working fine until updating to the 19th November AM, from whatever test one came before that (I haven't actually played the game in a few days, just updated the mod in the meantime). I did manage to get it load after leaving it a few hours, so it's literally just a vastly increased loading time.

Have you checked for conflicts?

I'm having a pretty big problem with the in-game clock.  Basically, the game will "freeze" in that the game clock, sims, and cars stop moving and the game stops responding to mouse input. However, other animations continue as normal such as Z's over a sleeping sim, rain, or the plumbob rotating over a sim's head, as well as ambient sounds and music.  The clock, sims, etc will then suddenly progress again and any mouse input will get a response after a few seconds.  It'll then run for 5-10 sim minutes, and then the same thing happens again and again in a cycle. 

I saved while the game was acting this way and when I remove awesome mod and reboot, the problem disappears.  However, when I put the mod back in, the problem reappears.  Also, the game experiences these freezes at exactly the same sim time on each reload.

I have a few other mods installed but the same thing happened whether the other mods were present or not.  Also, if I load an older autosave, the game seems to be acting normally (I didn't play to the point in time where the problem starts occurring though).  I have all XPs and SPs installed except Showtime and KP, so I have the patch that came with seasons, and I'm using the 11/19/12 4:10 version of Awesomemod.

Here's a save file where you can observe this:

Dropskill alchemy
Fail!  SkilllName alchemy not found!

I am afraid I do not know how to test this with AM removed.

[guardianpegasus]

Had only one problem so far. Brand new installation, all patched up, latest AM and new town. TS3W.exe kept crashing when I went to any travel destination. Replacing it with a cracked TS3W.exe worked like a charm. Possible bug with nocd check or corrupted executable which seems unlikely.

I am having the same troubles. I enabled this option, and I still have to wait for every single clothing item to load...

Also quick question... When you say "If disableClothingFilter is on, that the game will "Start" with the custom filter on". I was thinking,  disableClothingFilter isn't in the config, and something that has to be typed manually in-game...  So it doesn't last after the game is restarted right? Or did you mean something else, such as after disabling the clothing filter it will immediately turn the custom filter on at the same time?

Either way, whether using disableclothingfilter or turning the custom clothing filter on via config, I never once have seen only custom clothing display.

Does fixall or towderelicts remove UFOs from the inventory of uninstantiated aliens?
I'm asking this because I can't trigger an abduction scenario, no matter what I try. Even the debug command don't work.
I found out that none of the aliens in the world have a UFO in their inventory.
No UFO = no abduction

As of two days ago, there was an issue with AM where cross-world opportunities were being blocked.

To be more specific, the adventure stage (opportunity) "The Diary of Sin Pah" calls for a sim to "Travel to France"; when the sim arrives, they're supposed to get a few visa points or whatever and a subsequent task to talk to the nectar merchant.

With the EA story driver (or AM) the "Travel to France" stage completes as expected, but the subsequent step fails to appear. If one attempts to forcibly add it (China->EP1_Quest_France1, if I'm not mistaken) with twallan's DebugEnabler, the message "Unable to fulfil requirements for EP1_Quest_France1" appears; trying to add various other China opportunities while in France simply does nothing -- no idea if that's relevant or not.

If one uses twallan's StoryProgression instead of AM or EA, it's possible to progress in the adventure and complete it normally.

Speaking of AM story brokenness, there seems to be a *serious* lack of consideration in AM code for sim traits and relationships; I had a "Good", "Proper" sim, married with an LTR of 100, who was flirting like crazy a while back; another time her spouse was flirting (or being flirted with) several other sims as well, while she was in the room, and, until the "rumour" got around, she didn't appear to notice -- she kept flirting with him in between him flirting with everyone else until that occurred.

While I can see a sim with low LTR or shitty traits (neurotic, diva, evil, etc.) engaging in rampant autonomous infidelity even while having a high LTR value with their spouse, the behaviour I observed is simply stupid -- and I hesitate to imagine what manner of exposure to dog-humping gutter sluts would cause someone to omit basic trait and relationship weighting and/or gating for actions leading to marital infidelity.

If this is so it would explain a great deal. I have a Sim who has almost maxed his logic via telescope use and not a sausage.

[Cyron]

How to find out whether your aliens own a UFO:
(I hope it's not against the rules to mention other mods)
1. You need Twallan's MasterController and MasterController Cheats
2. Click on a wall of any empty house
3. nraas -> Master Controller -> Add Sim -> Type of Sim -> Living
4. In the upcoming list find and select all aliens (there were never more than 3 in my worlds).
5. Have a look into their inventories.
