Title: Headmaster trouble Post by: Kangals on 2008 March 05, 04:07:46 I have all EPs and SPs installed and the 2nd BV patch. No CC except for some Maxiod stuff from the official site and no hacks. My Sims 2 folder was generated after the installation of BV. I cannot get the headmaster scenario to work - he gets invited, arrives and freezes. Need to use moveobjects to delete. I am totally not awesome and really would like some assistance of the totally hold-my-hand-and-walk-me-through kind. >:(
Title: Re: Headmaster trouble Post by: Madame Mim on 2008 March 05, 04:20:40 Get the lot debugger and 'fix' the Headmaster by deleting schedules. Never save after calling the headmaster and him leaving.

Title: Re: Headmaster trouble Post by: Kangals on 2008 March 05, 05:57:23 Thanks for your prompt replies but I may need futher assistance - I am off to find 'the lot debugger' and try - scary for me as I am only playing my legacy family and, although I haven't got vey far less I actually LIKE this family! (All previous attempts to do the legacy challenge have been aborted as I found I couldn't care less about any of them!!!!)
Title: Re: Headmaster trouble Post by: Kangals on 2008 March 05, 07:18:09 Thank you, thank you, thank you - also to the maker of the lot debugger. It worked and Ariel is now in private school - my very first simchild to make it! (Cannot imagine why I always failed before as it was ridiculously easy!) I like this family more and more!
Title: Re: Headmaster trouble Post by: Liz on 2008 March 05, 10:37:54 Isn't it funny how that happens? Sometimes you put together a family, tailor them to your own tastes, and they just don't interest you at all. But then later something with a new fam just clicks, and suddenly it's fun again. I know I've actually enjoyed my sim families a lot more since I stopped trying to make their lives run perfectly... now I enjoy the occasional hiccup (or outright crisis, even better!).
Glad you were able to sort the Headmaster - he can be a touchy little bugger. :P Title: Re: Headmaster trouble Post by: J. M.

MORE AWESOME THAN YOU: Accept no Kewian-based substitutes!Title: Re: Headmaster trouble Post by: kuronue on 2008 March 05, 15:54:26 I've been having headmaster freezing issues too, though, and I never save until I'm ready to stop playing or something important happens - certainly never in the middle of the headmaster scenario. I managed to delete him and nuke the borked scenario but twice now he's frozen at different spots waiting for someone to chat with him - he doesn't seem to be dropping cancelled or completed actions from his queue normally?
Title: Re: Headmaster trouble Post by: miramis on 2008 March 05, 23:32:49 I haven't tried the headmaster scenario since installing FreeTime, but this thread reminded me of an issue I have had with him since Bon Voyage.
Everytime he tries to use a sink for his coffee cup (expresso) the sink resets and he goes Poof! It's really annoying, so I try to avoid it, but various things keep happening to stop him using the dishwasher, or I just forget to install one. I know the cheapest kitchen sink used to error a lot at one point but this issue with the HM only started with BV. |
