Title: Any ideas as to what would break my Party Controller?
Post by: baaaflatfit on 2006 October 18, 17:58:31
This was broken in my game before, but I can't remember what I did to fix it.  Anyway, this could be entirely unrelated to that.  I used the option on the FFSDebugger to 'clear stuck party', and it said it fixed the problem, but it didn't -- the guests continued to stay, the limo never arrived to carry away my newly married couple. The last few hacks I added or updated are these:
-ffsdebugger
-stuckobjremover
-dramafix
-phonehack
-twoJeff's Perfect Plants

I'm starting to wonder if it's not due to these hacks at all, but maybe an object?  Is this possible? Could it be because of new plants I've added?  Or is that totally ridiculous?

I'd appreciate any feedback/help! This is driving me nuts.

What expansion/stuff packs do you have? Many hacks are only compatible up to OFB. If you have Pets installed, this could be causing your problems.

I should've included that info: I have all EP's up to and incl OFB except Family Fun.  No pets or Glamour.  And here's another bit of info I should've included:  In debug mode, I was getting errors on characters Ramin, Dorian, and Demi -- all cops, right?  Here is a bit of one of the error files, which I completely don't understand:

I hope this helps!

Might have to do with the portal.  The police are probably supposed to come and break up your party because it's too noisy, but something is preventing them from coming.
Try deleting the stereos.

Once the stuck party has been cleared, the game thinks it's over...  so it's not going to make the visitors go away, and there's no way the limo is going to come.

Your lot debugger is working as expected.

Gwill, you were right -- this was a portal problem, albeit a weird one. After removing the invisible driveway, along with the flooring covering it --problem solved!  :)  This was a small lot, and it appears as though the portal was not in the usual place.
