Weird error

[ZephyrZodiac]

No, only the normal ones.  I've tried the force errors thing, both the debugger and boolProp, but even if I put that fridge right, it doesn't mean the fridge is cured, which means it's unusable anyway, so it'll have to go - what the heck, it isn't the only white recolour I have!

I was wondering more about the original poster - cwieberdink said he/she had problems on one lot, but not another so I wondered whether the lotdebugger showed anything screwy on the lot.  Always worth a look.

No, actually it's not quite the same problem, as I have problems with this fridge every time - there are two identical ones, you see, and if I pick the wrong one!  But in cwieberdink's case, it was, I think she said, the cheap cooker that worked fine, and the expensive one that didn't.

I used the debugger to its fullest extent and no dice.  NO stove works on this lot for that option.  They can cook normally otherwise but not if I click the stove and tell them to "make.." or "make many...."

Does that apply to the fridge as well?

I don't think so, but I'd have to try it and see.  The serve.... option works fine.

Like I said there are other strange errors happening in this house as well, like my self-sim punching a non-person.  LOL

Did you try the "force errosr" option on the debugger using the option for in and off-world?  It does rather sound as if a stray character file is lurking in your house!  Oh, and make sure your self-sim hasn't ever met herself!

I did try the force error for everything.  I need to check on my self-sim.  I hadn't thought of that!  Ya know, this started after a bad fire that didn't destroy the stove, although it looked like it did.  I wonder if there's an invisible pile of ashes.  I'm gonna try burninating the squares where the stove is and see if that helps.

That sounds like a good idea!

[cwieberdink]

Well, it didn't work.  I burninated everything in that corner of the kitchen and nada.  I did confirm, however, that the make... and make many.... are completely missing from the fridge menu.  weird.  It works on every other lot.

Then at least you know the problem is not in the game files, but in that lot.  I wonder if moving the family out and then moving the house to another location would reset it?
