I've searched the internet and in the forums as well as read the manual but I can't figure out how I make my NPC's sacred. I've tried left clicking in the choose a household, edit town and in game but I'm not seeing any options. I know the mod is installed as showconfig brings up the various settings I have in which story driver is enabled but I can't get the option. Where exactly do I need to click story, game, some other section? Is there some cheat command I have to enter?

EDIT
Just to clarify I am talking specifically about entire households here, individual NPC's it does work on but I don't want to have to hunt down every member of every household I want to make sacred individually. I understand there is a way to just affect an entire family.

I think that one of those things may have fixed the partner problem but I'm not sure as now my game crashes to the desktop shortly after my loading it up and I can't get confirmation of whether it worked or not as it doesn't run long enough to see how it reacts in new jobs/levels. The savegame with partner interaction selected does have it still there but I can't get it to run long enough to see if it remains should I leave/return to work or get promoted. The fact that my game is now crashing instead of running (as it did with the previous version) indicates somethings different in the current one but I don't know for sure if its what needed to be different.

I have tested this with awsomemod and without (no other mods installed when doing this obviously). With awsomemod it crashes in a short period of time, roughly half an hour game time, without it runs fine. This happens in both save games (all of them) and new games. Oh and yes this is the same issue (I suspect) others have already reported in the new bug thread I'm just trying to give as much info as I can, I'll also be reposting this new one's information in the new bug thread as it is a bug rather than a feature.

When I said the problem was occuring with the recent version/s I meant the one currently downloadable via this site as well. See below the steps I did just before this post to double check I hadn't missed an update or something.

1) Downloaded the most recent version of awsome mod
2) Got a job in the athletics career
3) Saved and quit
4) Removed all custom content and deleted the cache files
5) Restarted, saved, quit and deleted the cache again
6) Reinstalled only the latest awsome mod
7) Restarted, got a job in the law enforcement career track

I'm still not having my partners spawn when I should. That is there's no interact with partner option in the drop down menu and no one in the work friends category except a boss so the partner job factor continually degrades in this career. I got promoted to patrol cop to check a couple of levels before posting. Admitedly the problem might only occur if you already had a job in law enforcement previously (prior to the new version) but it is a problem still. With awsome mod there's no interact with partner or partner spawned, without it there is.

The recent version/s of awsome mod only spawn NPC's if you interact with them to save space however in the law-enforcement track you need to have a good relationship with your partner and there's no option to do this in the job options instead you have to do it manually. This means that they never spawn and you can't get a good relationship with your partner at all.

Why are you using go home anyway? I always just tell my sim to do something there when I want them to go home e.g. make food, read a book, go here etc and then they find the quickest route home and do what I tell them.

Removing the enablescripterror mod got it working for me as well.

I guess I'll just patch and hope fr the best then

And after reading this thread I have the image of a kleptomaniac who's the most beloved person in town because they keep returning things in better condition than when they stole them. Rather like those burglars in an old show who when they first visted the house were appaled at how there was nothing worth stealing so every now and then during the series they'd come back and put in something new (stereo, tv, coffee machine etc) until the last episode when they stole the lot back.

I gathered that, what I wanted to know was where I could get an older version of the patch as I'd updated before realizing the problems this would cause but don't want to install the glitchy patch from EA.

As indicated in the title this isn't the crash to desktop that happens in the initial loading screen I can get to the main menu fine.

I don't have patch 1.3 installed (because of the problems I've heard about it) if that makes a difference.

My game was working fine last night when I saved and quit. This morning I installed the new version of awsomemod (because I kept getting notifications that if I didn't it would stop working tommorow). Now whenever I try to play the game with the mod installed it crashes to desktop when I hit the play button for my game, if I remove awsomemod the game works fine. Is there anywhere I can get ahold of a working version of the previous build that won't stop working tommorow?
