Shonie

Coolspear is on holiday break.  I"m sure when he gets back he will have decided which of his mods he is going to keep up in these sections and let us all know. 

Moved Ms. Testa Roni in Windenburg and sent her to a nightclub.  Working as intended, no errors!   Thanks Coolspear, I feel better now as I was just crushed yesterday morning to have caused you so much pain. 

I actually think this is all my fault, not Coolspear's, not even stupid Maxis. I grabbed this with the intent of going straight in game and adding the venue.  I got sidetracked with a toddler and spaced it out.  How can a mod call something if it isn't there to call?  It didn't dawn on me until I got up this morning and came to see if I could delete the post.  I truly apologize for my stupidity.  " I think some time away from the insanity of modding will do you a world of good. It's no fun having a hobby that makes you want to tear your hair out and defeats the purpose entirely. "   Absolutely agree, especially when modders have to deal with stupid old ladies like me.

Hi @deffrollaThe most common response to the gag is folks look a little confused at your statement, then they say what they're thinking -  "There is no F in Way?" - And that's the answer.  Say that in your head, or out load, a few times and it begins to sound like something else. "There is no F in Way, you'll get an elephant into a shopping trolley."

An old joke, that seems to have died a death like the aforementioned Safeways. 

Have to laugh at that as I worked for Safeway here in the states for almost twenty years.until my store got sold in the buyout three years ago.

Now on to the business at hand.  Yeah Origin for the sale!  Got the GT, Spa Day, Movie night bundle yesterday, so I promptly came and got the updated GT mods.  Today I started playing and game started throwing errors right and left then froze up.  I went on Discord MCCC channel with the last exception report because it was really long and I had no clue what it was about.  Here is what was said about it: EGwarhammer - Today at 5:43 PM
this is the main error, and the only things i know of that use bucks (there may be more) are clubs and the ownable businesses.
Exception while updating the sim filter service. (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'associated_bucks_type'

So pulled both mods (no auto cry in closet, ect was the other)  played a bit with no problems and put this one back in.  Blammo, errors.  I don't know if the exception report helps you at all but will attach anyway, just in case. 

I haven't even added any venues into the tester world to try anything out yet, so hadn't even been in a club to harass a DJ.    Just a heads up for you to ponder while you are having an otherwise quiet evening sometime.  It could very well be something in my game, or maybe not yet in it, causing issues?

Follow up.  I have two families in this tester hood.  I was not playing the family that decided to give birth first and that birth actually went well.  I quickly popped over there to make sure there was actually a baby, there was.  While I was training up the toddler the other family went into labor and that one threw the error.  I had just done a save a few minutes prior so quit and started in the second house and again the error. 

All this leads me to believe you are on the right track when you bring up the traits and EP's and actually makes me wonder if I know what this mod is actually supposed to look like in game. :D I think maybe it just never has really worked in my particular game and I just didn't know it because your other trait mods allowed me to look at things as well.  I'll give it a go when I am able to get GT and see what happens, but thought I would just give you a follow up.

Oh no it looks like I am having the same problem shonie was having where all the reward traits are greyed out when I try to buy them. I don't understand I have all the expansion packs yet the mod no longer works for me. My sims can't buy more than three traits and I'm using the free verison of all traits in reward store. Shonie you said you fixed this buy using your old mods? I try that it didn't fix it for me. I even try starting a new save. Same problem.

It was ElijaWinter that had them all greyed out, mine was just blank and didn't show anything at all.  My issue was that I didn't have all the packs and there was something pesky in City Living that wasn't listed.  Even though I removed all of the traits listed in Coolspear's tutorial it would still be blank.  For me when I got City Living it started working.  I still don't have Get Together, but those seemed to all be listed correctly. 

When Coolspear posted that nothing needed to be updated and it was good to go, out of habit I simply redownloaded and added to my new mods folder.  Totally forgot that I needed to edit it again for the missing pack.  Since Coolspear had said it didn't need to be updated in his post, out of laziness, I just used my old version from the saved mods folder I had on desktop.  Then all the traits in the rewards store showed up again.

Wow thats probley why its not working for me also, I have a couple of sims with more that I gave more than three traits with the mod before cats and dogs came out. Now it forced them back to having three traits and even with the mod installed I can't add more, the options are grayed out. Bummer!

That could be ElijaWinter's problem as well.  Seems like I've added extra to a couple of my sims in the test world, I'll have to look and see if they have them still. 

Your posit in the edit may well be the issue, Coolspear. That would make sense since you aren't seeing anyone else with issues.  With the release of DnC's I am again behind two EP's.  I hope to get GT next, so we will see.  I've never had any aliens (to my knowledge) in game. :D   I will put the temp version in and see if that makes a difference when next I have a baby coming.  As far as I could tell the only issue was with the birthing , so should not be a problem just dropping it in. Might be a few game days as both households just had a child before I have a result for you.

Hi, Shonie. So you can purchase Cas Traits from the Reward Store? And also, can you Add or Remove traits on sim's pie menu option via the Debug mod as well?

Yes to both.

I can report that when I put the mod back in from my old mods folder, it is working correctly.  I'm not sure if that helps you with ElijahWinter's problem or not.

Just an FYI.  I had the baby naming issue mentioned above early on and had just removed the mod since it seemed to be fixed for everyone else.  I apparently thought I still had it and got the updated version and kaboom, same error problems.  Now my memory was jogged that I had problems before but didn't remember which mod or whose it was.  Long story short, it's this one.  Here is the error log in case you have a curiosity.  :D

It just dawned on me what @Corylea was saying, dohhh.  I still have the last version in my mods1 folder than I had pulled when I made a new folder for updated mods in game. I have that, I can just replace them.  Such a habit to just download again and not use the old.  Sorry, old lady head late night and not enough coffee this morning is my only excuse!

Shonie, if you don't have all of the expansion packs, then the Reward Store is blank with this mod unless you edit the file.  Coolspear explains this in the first post and also includes a tutorial at the bottom of that post about how to do the editing; you might want to look at that post again.

@Corylea

So I thought Coolspear said there weren't any new traits with C and D?  All things were working fine before the big update with the packs I have.

 

@coolspear I seem to have a curse!   When I first opened game after installing none of the traits showed up in the rewards store.  I went through the process, first removing all other mod folders but yours to check for conflicts, but still no luck.  So I added back in the other modder's folders and took yours out and all worked again.  Then I removed all trait related mods and added them in one by one, saving the All Traits-Free file for last.  Everything showed up in the rewards store up to that point and then nada.  I haven't tried other cost point options so I don't know about those, but Free seems to have an issue. 

I tried the 100 cost and had the same result.  I don't have enough points on these new sims to test the other ones though.

      Who knew the one that challenged me the most would be the one I missed the most?  Thank you for the update!   Oh, I am seeing in discord chat that there is a mod out there to make pets playable?  I haven't looked into it at all as I don't have the game yet so not exactly sure what is involved with the mod.  Anything about the Vet career peaks my interest as I was a vet tech for years.

Thank you for the update!  I've found I really missed these trait mods.

I started on new and clean "test" world last night so I could get a clean run to see how mods and such are working together now.  I know of at least one, not of yours, that said it had been updated but the kid still turned into a bear in my last "test world".  Ever since I was introduced to my first UI mod in one of the first games I played, I've never spent much time in  a vanilla game before I go searching for mods. :D  I have a healthy respect for all modders in all games I play and wish studios paid more attention to the work their fans do that ultimately puts money in the studio's pockets. 

When I fist loaded 1.36, without any mods or CC, all I did was try to keep Sims from bottoming out their needs from the time they went to bed, but didn't stay there, till the time they made it thru the next day. I had loaded a couple of families with either a kid or one on the way.  YIKES!  LOL  Then I played LOTRO for a day until some mods were starting to come back online. Still working through my CC and batch fixes, slowly but surely.  

Ohhh that sounds so fun Coolspear!!  I have yet to get the pets EP, but maybe by the time you have leisure and get more curious about it, I will be able to acquire it!  There are so many things I have yet to experience in this game but as I see mods being updated (yours and others), I get curious to try them out. :D

I will be so happy to have this back in my game tonight!  I had a sim wake a toddler up last night to potty train just after they had spent a couple hours potty training and just put the kid down to sleep!  

Thank you for the update.  I've never tried this mod but now that writers can write about family, I'm going to check it out!

Thank You for the update.  I couldn't figure out why stoves kept catching fire all of a sudden.

Thank You for the update.

Boy, I never realized how many annoyances there are in this game until seeing glasses of water setting around all over the houses!  I think maybe a sim even dropped one the other night.  I heard breaking glass but there was nothing for her to clean up.  LOL  Thank You so much for your update but I do hope that you are taking some time for yourself and playing the game.

Thanks You for the update Coolspear!

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I grabbed just the first two on the list to check it out and the toddlers bed did, indeed, show 5 energy.  Also the couple of double beds I checked showed 10.  I'll grab the rest of them now and check it out.  I hope that is what you are looking for.  Thank you for the update!!

Thank You!
