Title: Crafting benches not working
Post by: Ryubread on 2006 August 01, 20:52:00
All the crafting benches have stopped working in my game. When one of my sims try to use them, the game freezes - not as in crashing but all the sims and the clock stop, but I can still change mode and so on.

I have attached an error log of it happening. I hope someone more awesome than me can help!

I don't have an explanation for this. Is it just those benches, or all benches?

All the benches.

Also, my buy and skill bars have disappeared. I hope this isn't a sign of a BFBVFS  :-\

The SimAntics version of the dreaded null-pointer. That takes me back.  :P

Love all the hacks you have in there.  ;D I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of those causing the problem.

I blame the non-awesome.

Move your Downloads folder to a location outside your TS2 folder, so that you have no hacks loading in the game, and see if the problem persists.

...and if that works, slowly move them back one by one till you discover the culprit.

(sorry Rainbow, not trying to trod on your unquestionable awesomeness there)

No problem, Starrling.  Thanks for the compliment. :)

Thanks for the help, I finally had enough time to do all the testing today. As the problem stopped when I took out the Kitten-killer, it was the work of non-awesome. Ah well, not like I really use it anyway.

Thank you, you're all more awesome than me  :D.

I read a while back that taking out the kittenkiller is a bad idea if you have any pregnant sims.  Read the readme that came with it or search for the post - it was in "Oops I broke it".

Not 'any', just pregnant teens or YAs.  Pregnant adults are fine, but uninstalling it with pregnant teens or YAs leaves them in a non-recoverable state.

Fortunely, I didn't have any pregnant sims when I removed it so there's no problem there.
