Title: Stupid n00b needs help!
Post by: Swat on 2011 April 16, 22:24:26
This may be blatantly obvious, very stupid, and easily searchable. But I'm a n00b, and I need help.
I've searched and nothing quite matches this error. I keep getting a Flagrant System Error, and I haven't been getting those since, since hell, since when the game came out.
But I just yesterday installed Ambitions. Prior, I had only Base and Late Night. This is the capture of the error I'm getting:

From what I can make of it, it is somthing to do with Washing Laundry. The problem is I haven't even used the washing machines yet. Is this a mod conflict that is well known? Am I going to have to sift through my thousands of mods?

I have all patches installed (for sure, I have the Patch Downloader), latest test version of AWE, fresh aweconfig.package, and am using the new method for mods.

No, this is not some noob problem, and we won't tear you to pieces for it.  You probably should have put this in the Awesome Mod bug report thread, though.

I appreciate it! I have not recently installed any custom content that I feel would provoke this, so it must be somthing to do with Ambitions being installed. I should test out other neighborhoods and see if it happens.

When you installed AMB, did you check & update your "thousands of mods"?

I just went through and updated most of my script mods. I will observe tomorrow whether or not this helps.

You say you had the base game and Late Night, then added Ambitions. Is this failure a result of installation order? Or did the out-of-order installation result in an EAxian patching failure?

Patch failure may have been the problem. But unless it carried over after update, doubt it. I do have everything patched, made sure with Patch Downloader.

However, I think the problem is over. I think it was something to do with the "MOAR INTERACTIONS" mod, this is one of the many mods I went and updated. It's a global interactions injector, and does screw with the laundry machine. I just wouldn't expect that to be the problem because Flagrant System Failures are awesome mod induced, correct?

But alas, stupid noob still is stoopid. Problem solved, I think. People with similar problem, read it and weep.

Flagrant System Errors are an AwesomeMod popup, but they are not necessarily AwesomeMod-induced, as it is simply a generic Error Catcher, and if it catches a low-level error whch can originate from an EAxian piece of code or otherwise, it will show up as an FSE.
