Title: Makin' Townies - error - community lot populator
Post by: starrling on 2006 June 16, 04:12:10
Okay, what have I done?  Did the swiffer thing to a new neighborhood - deleted the character files.  Spawned the townie generator and after about the 3rd townie got this:

Error log attached.  No custom content, no hacks.

This appears to be normal. The townie generator is broken, don't use it.

As we discussed in chat, it was your tutorial I was following (for the second time, I might add - the first being successful).  Your tutorial is great!  I have no idea what went wrong but I deleted everything (waaaa) and started fresh - this time I didn't decorate my 'hood till all the newly gen'd townies were in place.  I doubt if that was the cause of the fubar but all is well now.

Curiously, instead of the 32-33 char files in the base hood (includes my sim) I have 44.  I guess the extras are NPC's?  Anyway, thanks for your help and I have it all straightened out again.  However, I'm curious about the earlier snafu and I might try to recreate it in another 'hood at another time.  I'll let you know.
