Thanks again for the suggestions.  I do sub folder stuff in an effort to keep things under control, I'm sure all my hacks are up to date and I do check their compatabilities, most are from here.  Anyway, it is a hack conflict of some sort because I took some out and I took my sim to a community lot and home again without a hitch (except for her new accessories turning blue when she returned home).  I'm in the process of narrowing it down one by one but if anyone could fathom my problem from the log that would be great.

Thank you DrNerd for your suggestions. 

I only have AL patched, I thought (well, we all know what thought did) that each EP updated any previously needed patches so I will go now and get them all.  I assume this is  a conflict so haven't bothered to take everything out my DL folder but I'd try anything before I'll do the 50/50 - for the millionth time.  I spend most of my time trying to resolve one problem or another.  I'll check the townie gun too, I've never heard of that.

I am including the latest log in case that's of any benefit, if I should have edited the first post instead then I apologise.  I assume that this issue is the reason that no group cache file is generated during the game if I visit a community lot, I only have an accessories cache to  delete.

Thanks again

Hello,

Part one of my saga can be read here, http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,105361.0.html
Yes, I know I'm an idiot.
I am unable to post today's error log at the moment as I'm away from my own computer but the problem seems to be the same, when visiting a community lot with a sim the only people who are there are servers, no visitors appear and I can't get the thing off triple speed (except when I've used testingcheats).  I had thought that my problem was to do with me using deleteallcharacters but after my attempts to fix that hood failed I deleted it and started another one.  Now I've just reclothed every bloody pre made sim, there's loads of them (thank the gods I didn't have townies and tourists to do) and I don't want to have to do it all again.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I can post the latest error log in the morning, it's 1 am for me just now.  Thanks to all who answer.

Ok, preparing to run the gauntlet.

I've never played Castaway Sims except on the PSP and in that sims are able to harpoon salt water fish, tuna and shark come to mind, and dive for shellfish in the sea and then cook them.  I've searched here already and missed it if it's here, sorry.  Is it doable?

Fair enough, thanks

I have been running the DC, with one or two hacks taken out-the clothing thing and no stray respawn, for the last couple of months since I started playing the game again.  I had to reinstall my cc after a major problem but now I don't have the business option on a home lot, the only lot I've tried, with plants that do need attention.  As I recall, and I am new to your awesomeness, if there are seasons plants on the lot that option should be there even if it's not a home business.  I have all that is needed for the BRU, autoyak etc.  The one thing I am unsure of is the statement about needing all previous FFS controllers, if I had them before in my game and they are missing now I have no idea where I got them from and how to find them now.  If eveything needed is in the DC, then could it be that it's because the plants in this instance are not maxis plants but custom ones, Mary Jane from Pandora in this case?  I presume, as it's the way it was working for me before, that it's ok to put your DC into a subfolder?  Sorry for being a nippy sweetie, the DC is great and I don't know how I survived the game so long without it.  Thanks for all the fab work and especially for letting us divvies have a shot.
