Scope Room jump bug?

[jennydeenyc]

I've noticed in the last few days that the Scope Room function isn't working properly in my game anymore. I can command a sim to Scope Room, but even if there are sims present who they have known chemistry with, nobody ever glows, and then the sim jumps a bit forward when the function finishes. I have the latest romancemod for Seasons (my last installed EP), as well as the Seasons version of no instantloves. I also have Teen WooHoo, ACR, and TJ's Sim Blender, as well as a metric ton of other hacks that don't affect romantic interactions. I don't often use Scope Room, so I'm not sure when it stopped working in my game, but any advice on where to start tracking down the problem would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Special bribe for helping...I'll post a RL pic of me in full Rocky Horror performance mode! Now, you may NOT want to see this, so keep in mind you've been warned!

Err... Not saying that this has to do with your specific problem, but isn't Simblender an FT thing? I remember TJ once incorrectly put and updated version in his Seasons folder but then took it out, I guess you downloaded that?

According to his description of the mod, only certain functions (Change Aspiration, I believe) require FT. It also says that the rest of the functions should work with Uni or higher. I had posted another question regarding the Sim Blender on the Simbology board a few days ago, specifying that I only had up to Seasons, and nobody told me that I shouldn't have it in my game. Not saying it isn't the problem, just explaining why I even have it. I'll try disabling it later with Clean Installer & seeing if that helps.

Have you tried binary search (half in/half out until the naughty culprit is cornered) yet? That should be your first step before posting.

When a sim jumps like that, there's been an error and an error log will have been created.  It would be helpful if you attached the error log to your post.  I take it you don't play with debug mode on, otherwise you would have said you got an error message.

Jennydee, I just saw this posted at Simbology:

I'm glad you mentioned the 'Romance Mod' from Pescado, i only have up to Seasons, and his latest update was causing an error with 'scope room'.  So i ended up rolling back to an older version of it.  I also had to roll back to an older version of his 'wfsanity' mod.  This was even happening on a clean/new Sims2 folder with only his hacks in.  I'm starting wonder if my game/system is just different enough, to cause errors with mods that are normally perfect.   

Bolded by me. You might want to ask gayjohnscarritt if he can share his RomanceMod with you if you don't have a backup yourself, and then see if that fixes stuff

A new version of the romancemod was posted today.  I suggest updating.

I actually found an old version of the romancemod in my trashcan and tried that, fixed the problem. However, I also installed all the EPs & SPs I didn't have today (using the "don't get SecuROM" method) and reinstalled all my MATY hacks from the FT director's cut, so that probably included the update of the romancemod too. I'm sorry I didn't sort through my hacks before posting, but I had about 10 minutes of playtime left before I had to head out for Rocky, and just thought I'd put the question out there and see if anyone responded while I was out. Thanks everyone for your advice and help!

As for my promised bribe photo, I'm currently unable to ftp into my webserver to upload the pic I want, so that will have to wait, probably until I get a chance to reboot my laptop :-P

EDIT: added photo (I'm the one sitting on the throne, if anyone cares)

Hur.  You have the same expression in the picture as your avatar.

I've never quite managed to make up my mind on whether I love or hate Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I love the film version. Tim Curry FTW!

You look awesome Jennydee
