Title: i've lost him, help !
Post by: MaximilianPS on 2008 September 24, 21:05:04
I' was trying to made "get abducted" a sim, but for some misterious things it didn't work..
so i've checked the NPCs and i notice that i've missed the "Alien Tecnician" (Alien Abductor ?)... or anyway you preferar to call him.

So, did you have some idea on how can i restore him ? :(

It's called "Pollination Technician", and SimPe 0.72 puts it in the "Uneditable" list. You just have to look in the Sim Description tree for that name.

Maximillian, how were you getting him abducted? FreeTime specifically really messed with the effectiveness of all abduction hacks so anything you have will need to be updated. If you have a multiple PT hack, make sure you have the actual character files for the PT's...I somehow had mine erased twice.

i've searched for him with TS2 Enhancer, i've also tryed to summon him with insimenator, but i can't find him... 'cause he is lost, i mean there isn't

that sound familiar... wonder why i'm not surprised that maxis messed up something ? ;D
actually i'm playing with "testing cheat" turned on, so i try just by clicking on telescope with shift and "get abducted", but the result is "jumping bug"

Remove all non-Awesome abduction hacks. The Shift-ClickDebug Abduction doesn't work anymore unless you have the Awesome fix. It might be in testing, or maybe Fat Gwilly People haven't asked. The pollination technician will respawn if one is not present, so don't worry about him.

Do not summon the pollination technician, he is not a real sim.

Maximilian, again, do you have any hacks that deal with abduction at all in your system?

Possibly a useless/derailing querry, but do you have any luck using a "default replacement" PolliTech?

I posted one in the Peasantry here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,10129.0.html) if you want to give it a shot. Don't know if it will make any difference to your problem, but it might be worth a try, if only to eliminate the possibility that there's somehow something wrong with your game's Pollination Technician's file.

Why not just make him a Knowlege sim and "summon aliens" (if you have Freetime, that is)?  Sounds simpler...to me anway.
