Another OfB problem: employees won't come when called
« on: 2006 November 05, 06:40:20 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I'm thinking this might be a hack issue, but I'm not sure which one it could be. The only gameplay-related problem I'm having now is that the employees at my home business will not come when called. I click on the OpenClosed sign, make sure the store is open and then have them Call In Employees. They call, but then I get an error message pop up (to which I choose reset). I'd include an error log, but I have no idea which one it is (looking in the C:/My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Logs folder.

Incidentally, I run the game in Debug mode.

ETA: I have found the two Error Logs that I thought might be able to assist in addressing my problems (since I now have discoverd several more, including not being able to turn on Hydrobots).

Do you have Pets installed?  The first error references Inteen which hasn't been updated for Pets yet.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.

I have InTeen, but not Pets. Could the problem lie with one of InTeen's flavour pack additions, I wonder? Maybe tomorrow I'll try removing only the InTeen and seeing if that makes any sort of difference whatsoever (although I did, in fact, download the OfB version as instructed).

I did notice a mention of InTeen in one of the error logs but not the other.

Sorry for the double post, but InTeen itself was not the problem. I disabled the entire thing and re-ran the program, and nothing changed. Maybe I should ask this at the InTeen site if it's a conflict problem. Thanks for trying to help anyways, though. It's nice to at least get a response from people. Smiley

Did you "disable" it somehow, or actually remove it from your download folder?  You need to actually remove it from the folder.

Yes, I finally bit the bullet and removed the hack entirely and the game works fine now. Oh well; I guess I just wasn't meant to have both OfB and InTeen, but I know which one I'm going to choose.

Also, for some reason, I noticed later on that one file from InTeen had somehow snuck into the main Downloads folder instead of being in the Hacks subfolder with the rest of its bretheren. Huh. Go figure. I may actually have to bite the bullet and go to the Inteen site and *gasp!* check to see if any of the hacks/mods found here are not compatible with it. Horrors!
