When I try to invite sims to a party I get a jump bug.
I have all EP's and SP's installed.
Object error thingy attached.

What phone-related hacks do you have?  A lot of the phone functionality changed with Pets, so make sure you are using the latest updates.

Is this in a greek house? Something really weird can happen in greek houses where sims lose the ability to throw parties.

This doesn't happen in my game. I don't even recognize that error. Clearly, this is the work of the NON-AWESOME.

Well the only phone hacks I have in my game are all from here. This happens on any lot college or otherwise.
Maybe its the new holiday mini pack doing it?

I have everything up to Pets, including the H06 mini-XP (which includes H05), and can still throw parties.

This only works because of an override mod in the Pets install folder though (since EAMaxis changed the phones). Maybe you are missing this one?

I cant find any "override" sub-folder in my pets folder, so Im guessing that that is the problem.
Is there anyway to fix this?

It doesn't have that actual name IIRC, but in any case it's in a subfolder of the Pets install folder (not under my documents).  I can check once I get home.

Mind it is just a theory the HP is responsible, you might be running into another bug. Or have a base game install problem.

It's in (wherever you installed Pets)\TSData\Res\Overrides.

Hey, I was just wondering, I haven't got any object packs, just the normal expansions, but again, I was wondering because I have a "HolidayNewYearsPartyPhoneCall_Override.package" pack in my overrides folder, and I didn't put it there myself. What does this folder mean? What do the contents mean exactly, should I be checking this folder at all? Just curious- haven't come across any problems or anything. Smiley

Read above. It is a clunky workaround by EA to fix a bug which was introduced by EA Games in their own product, which won't manifest itself unless you install HP05 or HP06.

If it was missing in the first place, your install went wrong. Likely cause of your problems!
Reinstall Pets.
