Have you downloaded the batbox? Was it sims 2 that started putting everything in the Documents folder instead of with the install files?

Maximiilian's back too. G'day. Have you seen Iron Seagull's summary of the problems in the re-re-release? It does appear that most mods are working though.

Good onya, good luck.

Heh, I figured. I have only just started TS4, I was still playing TS3 up until about a year ago. Nice to see you again.

There is a mod that just turns infants back into objects, I tried with the infants but it was such a grind I gave up. https://www.patreon.com/posts/infants-are-80892860

I passed your message on to Pescado, haven't heard back.

I've just noticed a mirror with a big crack on it, I'll' have to check out what else they do. I've passed your nessage along.

If you haven't heard, there's a virus active in the sims mods. If you haven't heard about it, go to Twisted Mexi's "ModGuard" page.

No. Just 1.67

I'll double check with Pescado though.

Good for you. G'day snabul!

If you clear out your mailbox I could chat to you there.

I may have time to test it for Pescado in a day or two.

Perscado: There's an option in NRAAS to Use Story Progression Yes/No.

You don't have to enable anything to run with Awesome mod, if the game story mod is on, Awesomemod just takes over.

I ran NRAAS core mod along with AWESOMEMOD ever since the NRAAS mode came out. I can't find it in my notes but I'm pretty sure I just turned NRAAS story progression off.
Game itself: Story progression on
NRAAS: Story progression off
Awesomemod: >showconfig< at the cmd prompt and check.

My character is about to start work this sim day so I will be able to answer your question at long last. I haven't had much time for playing lately.

ETA1: Would you like a copy of my own festival park too? The only thing left to do is ensmallen the lake. I wanted to get the surf roller in it but I think it only goes in swimming pools. I do want them to skate on it in winter, so have been experimenting with sizes. Everything else is there.

ETA2: I'm in the middle of testing for Pesdcado. He's made some changes in AM and I've started up a test town with his default settings. I showed him that screendump I took and he wondered whether it was still glitching because the job had already been generated by the time I put his default config in.

ETA3: Ubercuber, one of the customs here is to continue on with the post if no-one has posted after you. However I don't think you're coming down to this thread to see if there's any new information.

ETA4: I tried to DM you with this info but your inbox is full.

Your inbox is full Ubercuber.

ETA: You are right, when the job is first offered it is quoted as an astronomical amount, even a buffer breaking amount. I have told Pescado but apparently according to another player, it has always been that way so I suspect it's an EAxian thing.

ETA3: Is your fridge problem some corrupt downloaded content?

Same, because I never needed to use it.

Yup, OK. Sorry I haven't done it yet, my brother told me he was COVID positive yesterday, and the whole day was taken up by organising and reporting and getting deliveries and so on. What a pain.

I have nokewianbasedsubstitute turned on, I'll run a test game and see if it happens to me. Nothing like that ever has but it's been a long time since I played that career. It may be a day or two, I'm busy today, but I'm happy to double check.

Do you mean the career that lets you design rooms in houses?

Let me know how it goes if it works. I have about a dozen houses I play so it's not a bother to give them pets if they need them, like witches do. You can click on the animal and Edit in CAS through NRAAS if you want something specific.

I run both. I don't run a 'buy a pet' shop, I use the phone and get a choice of 6-8 animals. These can be completely modified in pet CAS so it doesn't really matter what you get. In NRAAS you can set max numbers of roaming animals in the hood, and say no to pets on community lots. I rarely see any pets other than the ones belonging to the active family.

Try just making a backup copy of the *.dbc folder, then boot up the launcher, it might take a while to load, then uninstall whatever you want to. My launcher loads all the files, I have 23 *.dbc files, and it uninstalls fine for me.

The dcdb0.ebc I think is an error file and shouldn't be there. If your game crashed in the middle of of play the dcdb0.ebc often appears. Load the game again and shut down ordinarily and the dcdb0.ebc should disappear.

ETA: I also keep a backup of all the original files I installed through the launcher so I can reinstall a fresh copy if needed.

Sorry if I've been leading you down the wrong path, I've just been trying things I usually try when my game breaks.

"To verify that your trait loaded successfully, use the "traitinfo" console command to see if data could be brought up." - from 'creating custom traits'.

Are you 100% sure that story progression is turned off in NRAAS?

Are you testing in a brand new world?

I also run the patch for after version 1.67, for the game before Origin, just in case any files have become corrupt. If you play through STEAM, don't do that, I don't know what version 1.69 does.

UberCuber: my game resets itself to default options when I swap out an AM. I have to go into game options and set everything the way I want it.

ETA: Try clearing all leftover caches from previous games. I made a batch file.

ETA2: Make sure you are using AM's story mode drivers. Check your AM config file. You may have to turn off NRAAS storydriver in its own interface. There's also a way to turn off the command line feature if you don't use it, so check that it's on. (Testing cheats enabled true?). There is a setting in NRAAS that by default disables the command line.

STORY MODE FEATURES:
1.  Awesome Story Driver [Optional - Default: Enabled]
     Enables the experimental AwesomeMod Story Driver, replacing the EA driver.
2.  God's Chosen People
     Control-Clicking a sim/house will offer the option to "Make Sacred" or
     "Remove Sacred", giving that household or sim immunity to StoryProgression
     and other assorted random toadings. The Chosen receive a gold halo on
     their house and on their tracking tags when tracked on radar. You may
     switch instantly between the Chosen household with CRTL-RClick. This
     feature will only function if you are using the EA-based or Awesome Story
     drivers. Other third-party drivers do not use this.


ETA3: Blessed is the only other word that Sacred ever used, to my knowledge.

I have tested the new Awesomemod with my game and Sacred works as normal. Did you reset all your options in the game and then restart before loading a game?

I see every new post, I don't know if I see modifications to a post. I will download the new AM and check whether it has disabled my Sacred.
