Nice work, now a list showing which moodlet goes best with each skill.  May be useful for a Sims 4 version of Macrostastics/Skillinator.  heh
Instead of Thinking Cap, get moodlet, Find best object for moodlet, Set to next object of category, etc....  I miss my bhavs.

Hai!

Sims 4 is out so how much of the advertising was L&P?  If purchased at a store (if it can be) does the Origin application still have to be installed for authentication each time it is played?   Which means one must have the internet to play Sims 4.  

How much of it may actually be modded.  And that so-called mod tool to be included, is it any good?
(Now back to my Sims 2 to test a new mod)

Thanks,

Pcgeek

Thank you.  I'll make a note.  This has been bugging me for a good while. 

Just doing some troubleshooting while modding and ran across this in the Bhav CT - Bathroom Break in node 3 of the Macrotastics Mod.  I'm just curious as to which mod this is and therefore if it is something very awesome that needs to be in my "Downloads" folder. 

Thank you

This is an old topic discussed over 30 days ago but I'm having the same problem also.  But the problem only follows the two sims that can't compete cooking.  This is what the sims have in common that can't finish cooking...

1) Both sims are sloppy and have licked a plate clean, the option for them to lick an empty plate clean does not appear any more.

2) Both generate this same error:

3) The old meals is what they cannot cook.  Ex. Sandwich, hotdogs, hamburgers, raemen noodles, Mac & cheese, etc.  They both can cook Grandma's comfort soup and Santa cookies.

4) If the food is burnt the cooking is completed.

The problem follows the sim, not stove, lot, etc.  Ex. University sloppy sim licked a plate clean then couldn't finish cooking for this error and was graduated moved into a new lot and still cannot cook.

Other sim was started in the base neighborhood, licked a plate clean, and now generates this error

UPDATE:  Okay fixed the problem.  The two sims had a bad memory token when they grilled on the old Sims 2 original black grill.  The bad token read "[invisible] Token - Sim - Foods Cooked Well" there is no object, ie. doesn't state what was cooked well.  I deleted this bad memory and the sims can cook again.  Whew!
I suspect what did this was the old version of the CEP.  Downloaded the new version last night so let's keep an eye out for this reoccuring. 

Thanks for any help,

Oh yes, the sunbathe.....  What I did to fix that confict was delete the sunbathe bhav from Vacation fixes.  The easiest fix would be if you want the sim to get nude for sunbathe if it wants too is have the nude mod load after by renaming and putting a "z" infront of the name making it "zCBOY_..... .

Thanks for your input.  With the clean install the BUY and Warmthfixes which both use RTBNs ( Means "Run Tree By Name") work great in all neighborhoods except Bon Voyage.  This is very, very advanced modding.  To get one to run correctly every little syntax has to be correct, the stacked object, any operands, switch back to the original Stacked Object and then continue back in the original mod that did the RTBN.  And then the testing for each neighborhood.  It took me an entire day to get my first one to work.

They both do a check on each sim to see if there is a particular clothing they are wearing or may have available in their "luggage".  In the case of the Warmthfix if they are wearing a particular outfit, the warmth controller is supposed to bump up their temp but in a vacation lot this RTBN gets borked.  Same for the Bathroom Uses You, does a check for an outfit in their luggage and does an RTBN to see if this special outfit needs to be kept.  In case of the B.U.Y. for some reason it thinks that whatever a vacationer townie has in their luggage is special and this borks the RTBN for the BUY.

Take care,

Pcgeekri

Has the BUY been tested on hotel lots?  Now it's giving crappy GUID errors.  On this same lot.

Example uploaded.  Another RTBN not running correctly on a Hotel Lot (CT - Keep Uniform).  And why is that running when the sim isn't in the bathroom?  Very strange....

Is this lot borked?  Or is there something special about hotel lots?

Thanks,

Warmthfixes is really messing with the outdoor temps with that RTBN (Carry Bag - Start) it is trying to run.  Here is a good example, using the debug tool and do an Info - temperature stats here is the result:

Is Outdoors (rt1/rt7/Lua): 1/1/1
Is Greenhouse (rt6?):0

Here is an Object Error uploaded.  All other lots are okay only Vacation Lots' temperature controllers get borked.  This is a fresh install of the game.

Maybe there needs to be a test for the object D216EE01 done before the RTBN is run?

That behave Get in Temp 0 - Stack Object warmths Delta 2 node 7 with the RTBN (Carry Bag - Start) doesn't work correctly on Vacation lots, more specifically a hotel beach lot.
I would suggest others to check using the debug tool.  Until then I'm either removing this Warmthfixes or get rid of this bad RTBN.


Thanks,

Hello,

Doing some more amateur modding and I noticed that in an Interaction - Use BHAV Crammyboy (Cboy_nudist.package) stacked an object GUID of D216EE01 in a node then the next node states Run Tree by Name ("Carry Bag - Start").  I remembered seeing that because Warmthfixes was giving me an error about a Crappy GUID.  The D216EE01 is the "Controller - Temperature Receptivity".  I then opened the WarmthFixes package and examined the BHAV Get in Temp 0 - Stack Objects Warmth Deltla 2 and looked at node 7 where the Crappy Guid Error occurred.  My question is this:  Shouldn't there be a node requesting to stack/test for D216EE01 then do the "Run tree by name" instead of assuming the package is going to be smart enough to find this string to run? 

I did a clean reinstall of my game early Saturday morning partly because of this error.  If it happens again I'm going to insert a node testing/stacking for this object if the error happens again and see if that fixes the "Crappy GUID" error problem.

Thanks,

Pcgeekri

Okay, here is the package where I fixed the enthusiasm.  Sorry I didn't reply sooner, Saturday was busy.  Everyone wants HDTV, NTSC is soooo 20th century.  I would like to some feedback that it is working for you as well.

Found the problem,  question is how to fix it?  In warmthfixes package, Node 7 for the BHAV Get in Temp 0 - Stack Objects Warmth Delta 2, states" Run Tree by Name ("Carry Bag - Start").  This node 7 needs to be changed badly, why is it in here?  Carry a bag for what?

It is told to run this "tree by name" but no GUID has been stated or implied therefore "Crappy GUID" error.  Needs a GUID to be able to "Run tree by name".

I'll just try deleting this node.  Makes no logical sense why that is in there. 

Pcgeekri

There could be more, but all I have found so far is the Interaction BHAVs do not have the "Enthusiasm Start" and Enthusiasm End" nodes.  So I just added the 2 nodes to the Interaction BHAVs in their proper order.

Thank  you SimPE, thank you Hackdiff,

The Gain Body skill isn't working any longer in Skillinator.  I'm still using Bon Voyage.  I'll post again, I think Pescado may have missed my original post because the Macrotastics/Skillinator support board went to TwoJeff's ACR.

Edit:  I may have fixed it.  At node 19 in the BHAV "Interaction Gain Body" the false should be set to 1A but instead loops back to node 3.  Still testing but seems to be working.


Thank you,

Pcgeekri

What happened to the lastest version of Macrotasitcs/Skillinator for BV/FT uploaded to the site at March 5, 2008 3:30PM (Or as shown in the Zip file Macrotastics 3/4/2008 12:15 PM  Skillinator 3/4/2008 12:25 PM)?  My sims get green then stand there.  I'm still using Bon Voyage.  Freetime I'll get after ACR is updated (Correction: Inteenimater must be updated for Freetime, more than likely ACR will have to be updated for the Freetime Version of Inteenimater therefore to be more nearly correct I'll get Freetime once Intenimater is updated.).  I tried one sim to skillinate - body, another sim  I tried skilinate - charisma.

Thanks,

FYI....

Have no problem with ladybug lag or any other effects running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit version with AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core with a Nvidia 8500 Video card and 2 GB of system memory.

Pescado,

Like the name of the new Bhav "Function - Main - Handle Stupid Autonomy" in the latest version of BUY, what does it do with stupid autonomy?  Just curious about how it works.

Thanks,

Remember PayPal is Ebay.  I have a claim at my bank outstanding at this time due to debits from PayPal. 

Here is some advice from my bank:

When one closes an account with Ebay/PayPal only the username/password is terminated all bank information, credit card numbers, checking account numbers are retained by Ebay/Paypal UNLESS you have it in writing from Ebay/PayPal that when your membership is closed all bank information will be deleted.  Any information given to Ebay/PayPal should be changed after closing your membership. 
Bottom Line:  Open a specific bank account especially for use on Ebay/PayPal and close said account when membership with Ebay/PayPal is terminated.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Pescado,

What's up with this new version?  I have sims getting stuck in the shower (Added:  My sim was pregnant also but not showing yet.  Strut your stuff shower would stop spraying, sim would stop wash animation and less than a second the shower would start spraying again and the sim would begin wash animation again it was like BUY was on paranoid setting if that hygiene dropped just 1 point the shower would start up again.  BUY never got a chance to engage "eject"), if a sim changes into work clothes after using the shower a bunch of BUYs get cued (added: these icons were a bunch of "Eject" BUY icons) after the "sim at work" icon and no one could use the bathroom until I manually cleared those other cued "Eject" BUYs (Added: The bathroom is actually sitting there empty cause the sim that changed into work clothes has walked to the car pool and has left the lot.).  The other sim would pace back and forth with the BUY waiting icon.  (Added: This house is small and has only one bathroom and therefore one BUY.  Contained in this bathrrom is a maxis toilet (the cheap one), maxis bathtub (least expensive model), and the maxis strut your stuff shower.)  The shower is the "strut your stuff" communal shower.  I use it quite a bit cause it is so cheap and takes little room.

I'm going back to the version from about a week ago.

(Added:  FYI, the older version from 11/25 works great so I'll keep using it until you find the problem with this one.  And you'll find the problem, you are the genius after all.)

Thanks,

Pcgeekri

Why is the ffsdebugger now included in this mod?

Pcgeekri

Mine does also.  For me this began a few months ago after a video driver upgrade, oh well Nvidia, the way it is meant to be played.  yeah, right.  For some reason the shadow effect doesn't work correctly on the little buggers.  I'm running a 7600 GS  AGP only reason I'm using this is I'm saving up for computer upgrade to PCI X16.  And to hec with PS3, rather have the Nvidia 8800 GPU, then I will be playing the way it is meant.  lol

Oh yes my favorite mod.  ACR, Yes, yes, yes.  I'm using it.  Great mod.

Thanks,

Pcgeekri

No I don't I'm pulling out "closer family" and "woohoo teens" and see what that does.  I never have used inteenimator and don't plan on using it. 

Edit:  Thanks for the advice Rose the mod causing the problem was WOOHOO TEENS.  Damn!  One of my favorite mods too.  May just leave it in there and live with this glitch until the updated Woohoo teens is released.  Take care Rose.


Thanks for you help,

Hello again,

Did some googling and there seems to be a problem with pet to sim relationships.  More especially a want "Become freinds with Pet" want that never gets satisfied because the relationship does not get "flagged".  All my households with a pet has had a sim come up with this want but never gets satisfied so before I go on a wild witch hunt just to find out it isn't a mod problem would appreciate someone confirming this is definitely another Maxis screw-up.

Thanks,

Pcgeekri

In my latest case the puppy just dissapeared.  In that case a maid finally set the puppy down in the kitchen and the puppy just dissapeared somewhere in the floorboards.  Also the puppy just wasn't seen by the program to be on the lot anymore.

My workaround: had to move the family out of the lot and back in again to get the puppy to reappear.
