Ah, yes, my stupid-brain was quicker than my smart-brain. Although, my FSE occurred while using the latest AwesomeMod - I just now double-checked the time stamp to make sure.

I suppose I'll just keep an eye on the bug thread and see if anything further is reported on the matter.

I just now received a FSE in Twinbrook. One fambly member had been sent to fish at the next-door fishing community spot and the error seemed to happen when or shortly after she arrived on that lot. The other two members were at home doing nothing special (I think I had just commanded the father to put the toddler in the high-chair, if I remember correctly).

Anyhoo, here's the screen:


What does this error indicate exactly?

VICTORY!

I figured out what the problem was. In the Resource.cfg I had:

PackedFile ../../../Users/YourName/DOCUME~1/ELECTR~1/THESIM~1/DCCache/*.dbc

But I didn't even replace the stupid "YourName" part because I'm an idiot. So instead I went back and put in:

PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.dbc
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.dbc

And it worked! Now I have all my precious content. Thank you a millions times witch.



For anyone wanting to figure out the correct short name path to their DCCache folder, the method in my post here might be helpful.

I'm coming out of lurk moar to share my findings regarding locating the correct short path name (DOS) to copy into your resource.cfg file. My brain usually works fairly ok, but this task gave me a case of the stipud and it took me a little while to locate a solution that worked for me.

Anycase, if you have issues with getting your content to show up after having followed GnatGoSplat's instructions, check to make sure that you have the correct path in your resource.cfg file. An easy way to do this (at least for Windows XP users, I'm not smurt enough to know how this fares with other systems) is to utilize this nifty method:

1) Copy and paste the below bolded text into Notepad. Save it to your desktop with .vbs as the extension:

Set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' Is object a file or folder?
If fso.FolderExists(WScript.Arguments(0)) Then
   'It's a folder
   Set objFolder = fso.GetFolder(WScript.Arguments(0))
   rtrn = InputBox("Here's your short path:", "SHORT PATH", objFolder.ShortPath)
End If

If fso.FileExists(WScript.Arguments(0)) Then
   'It's a file
   Set objFile = fso.GetFile(WScript.Arguments(0))
   rtrn = InputBox("Here's your short path:", "SHORT PATH", objFile.ShortPath)
End If


2) Navigate into your DCCache folder. Grab a .dbc file and then drag & drop it on your .vbs file. The short path pops up, ready to be copied and pasted into resource.cfg. Before saving your resource file, make the necessary minor formatting changes to the path per GnatGoSplat's instructions in the first post.

I cannot take any credit for this possibly very obvious solution since it was posted by a less retarded person elsewhere on the internets. Kudos to you, magic VBScript file wizard. Kudos.
