I haven't patched for a few months now. Since this mod is primarily just an extreme push on the interaction to turn off Social Bunny, making it autonomous - where it otherwise was not - and then making it utterly irresistible for sims to do, it could be these last couple of months with Maxis concentrating on autonomous factors and mechanics in game for the last two big patches, they may have knocked it sideways. I'll need to patch and check latest version of interaction xml to see.
I'm actually gearing up to patch today. Though the outcome of that could have a major impact on my foreseeable future for modding this game. As written in another post recently. If after patch my current healthy save file is once again corrupted, as has been the case for my last five save files these last two years, then I will be throwing the towel in regarding modding until Maxis are gone and have quit patching the game. I simply cannot start a sixth (actually I think that would be a seventh?) new save file. It's utter madness. Nor can I continue playing a corrupt save file. That's madness, too.
My gameplay for close to two years now, has consisted of me playing "immigration officer." Trying to rescue refugee sims from an old corrupted save, moving them to a clean, new save. And since new save files number three, four and five, I am just not keeping up. Maxis patches are killing my latest save files before I get all sim refugees across. I am utterly fed up of this. My sims are scattered throughout so many corrupt save files now, I'm close to losing the plot. And after patching today this immigration officer play style ends one way or another. Either the patch does not corrupt my game, then I can finally add the last few sims and get back to playing normally which I haven't done in two years. Or it does again corrupt, that being the most likely outcome if the last two years and five save files are any kind of record, and I simply shut down for the winter season, and reopen in some far away summer season where Maxis no longer pollute the beaches. "Winter is coming..." I understand Maxis will continue patching the game till September this year, and perhaps even beyond that time frame.
I'll know one way or another by this evening or tomorrow. Beach towel, for throw in, on standby.
