More Awesome Than You!

Instead of digging up my old thread and resurrecting it, I thought I'd try again.  I am having that same trouble in some houses only with the make many.... command on the stove.  The sim will jump out of the interaction.

last night is happened in Emma's MATY contest house (furnished version).  I moved a newlywed couple in and had her try to make many.... in the kitchen and got the error again.

Log is attached.  It seems to reference a bunch of random stuff including the poker table, the bathroom and the bathroom controller.  What that has to do with making food, I have no clue.

Are both the stove and the fridge you're using Maxis ones or custom?

Well, the house started with Maxis only content (because JM doesn't have custom content), but I put in a custom fridge.  In the houses I've had this before though, it made not a lick of difference if it was cc or not.

This appears to be the work of the non-awesome. Some hack you have is corrupting the "Make" trees, or perhaps your fridges do not support this interaction because they are non-awesome.

Well, you were right about it being a hack.  Now to figure out which one.  I took out all non-awesome hack folders.  Have to do the tedious thing of replacing them all now one by one.  Bleh.

That is the price you pay for the use of the non-awesome. Such is the life of the Dumb and Cwieberdinkly One.

If you're using a custom fridge cloned before OFB (or cloned after OFB without OFB files included), the Make Many options is not going to work, even if the options shows up on the stove. The action is going to drop off the queue.

Hmmm.. I wonder if that's it.  I did also replace the fridge.  Off to do more testing.  I hate this part of using modded files.

That's why you should stick to Awesomeware.

Awesomeware doesn't always include ALL the awesome things I'd like to have in my game!  Although all awesomeware that is available is in the game.

I agree.  There are a lot of awesome hacks out there that, while not Awesome (tm), are still rather awesome.

Any news on if the problem was fixed by using a Maxis fridge?

No, I haven't had time to play since then.   :P

OK, well, let us know when you do, because I'm curious  :).

Okay, it is the fridge, not a hack.  Replacing my custom fridge with a maxis one fixed the problem.

C

Where's the fridge from?

It's a couple different fridges that do it.  But that explains why it was happening in some houses and not others.

C

This would happen with any custom fridge cloned before OFB (or even after OFB if they exclude the OFB files when cloning).

Thanks, Ignorant Bliss. I did read that earlier. My thought process must have been lost in the translation. :) I shall refrain from more stupid questions...for at least the next five minutes.
