Sims interaction issues since last AM update.
tangent:
Since the latest update to AM, I've been encountering a strange glitch that cannot be resolved through conventional methods. After an initial greeting with another sim, my active character will not be able to open the interaction wheel on the individual they are trying to communicate with. This occurs most frequently with celebrities and university sims. I've trolled through EA forums as well as MATY threads and have no found a viable solution. I am a PC user, and all CC are installed through the new framework style.
Here are the actions I've taken so far, however, not specifically in this order:
- Update AM
- Remove all CC excluding AM
- Edit Town fix (This was suggested by EA forum users. The fix is to move a property where the glitched Sims are to reset all Sims on the lot.)
- Resetsim cheat
- fixall console command
- Re-applying Universal patch
- deleted cache files
- Reverting to old saves
- Google Google Google
The closest I've gotten to an answer was a reference to an animation issue causing the problem on a TSR forum. Interestingly enough, the Fixall console command did display a flagrant error and it showed a message confirming that the error was fixed. Unfortunately, this fix was only temporary as the problem resumed once I left the main world for the University world.
I apologize in advance for any MATY faux pas I may have committed. I spent an hour reviewing the FAQ sticky alone before registering.
EDIT: I've attached the script error report for the aforementioned flagrant error Fixall detected.
HomeschooledByTards:
1) Did you take out AM (while leaving other CC in place and CC free) and see if the problem went away?
2) This could have been posted in the AM bug thread, if step 1 turned out positive for an AM problem.
Starler:
Also, have you used a patch program (I recommend the MTS downloader) to make sure all of your expansions are up to date? If it's happening with expansion Sims specifically, it may be that you're missing an expansion patch.

I didn't, since the overwhelming response to other occurrences of this glitch were deemed to be caused by incompatible CC due to EA patching. Since AM is frequently updated, I did not suspect it to be the cause. I'll do a test run without AM to see if the problem continues and edit this post with results.
EDIT: After removing AM, the problem persisted.

I considered it, but did not want to blame AM prematurely without having some proper advice.

My understanding was that since the Generations EP, individual patches were rendered obsolete. I've been using the manual patch 1.67.2.0240.
Starler:
It may depend on how you installed the game. It's been a long while since I installed it, so I may be out of date, but I know that the MTS downloader was updated in January of this year, so it may still be an issue for some.
