Crash on resized lots at 7PM -- any ideas?
mildlydisguised:
Just thought I'd add my report from playing 42 Backdoor Lane over the last couple of days.
First go, moved in a CAS sim, who was a teen when created but is now an adult, with a pregnant, adult Tosha Go. Everything goes fine until I decide to save at 18:54, in readiness for a possible 19:00 crash. Unfortunately the game crashed just after I chose to save. I reloaded and played, saving periodically throughout the first day, 19:00 came and went without incident. I'm now on day 3 and everything seems to be ok.
Second try, moved in a different CAS sim, who was, again, a teen when created but is now an adult. I decided, from reading this thread that I would delete the streetlamp straightaway. I also decided not to save at all during the lead up to the first 19:00. I have plyed this lot for two days now and so far, no crashes.
I'm starting to think that the crash I had was related to the saving during the first day rather than the time although I can't be sure of this. I am planning to create my own shrunken lot within the next couple of days and will report back if I encounter any crashes with mine.
Also just for info, I have all EPs and all SPs and nothing is patched.

Saving does not seem to have an effect, so far. Maybe your crash was simply the regular "scheduled" 7PM crash .. ? (Also, after a reload, nobody has ever had a crash so far.)

That might be helpful I think. Thank you.

Just had something very, very odd with your lot, Plasticbox. I was in Badger Square playing a lot. Then moved to Fisher Roe and passed by the townhouse. No plumbob hovering above it. Play mode wasn't available. I went in under Buy/Build and all the furnishings were there, but Antwan and Lynn were nowhere to be found. Checked all the other houses, they weren't there. I finally ended up going to the house I was going to play in Fisher Roe and moving them in with the tombstone of life & death, then having them find their own place and moving them back in. On lot load, I sort of got the move in video...or at least the camera motion, but no taxi. The sims were exactly where I had last left them...Antwan eating breakfast and Lynn asleep.
Doc Doofus:
What else happens at 7pm: The lights turn on.
A couple of other ideas to test:
1. Does the newly installed and occupied lot crash if you go into build/buy mode and change the view to nighttime view? I hadn't thought of trying that. In many ways, that is similar to the 7pm changeover.
2. Turn on all lights before 7pm. Or turn off all lights before 7pm. That might make for an interesting experiment. it would at least eliminate the possibility that it's something related to outdoor houselights turning on and off.
3. I can't think of anyway to change the hour by force to nighttime. Can you think of one? If you change the hour, you can only change it to an hour during the day, if it's daytime, or night, if it's nighttime. I recall, though, somebody had a mod that would allow you to move vampires into lots at night. Any leads on that? That might make an interesting experiment.
Question: When you guys say you're moving townies into new lots, are you using the Sim bin or some other method?
For Zazazu or whoever had trouble downloading my lot, I don't understand the problem. The link works for me. Since you're getting an XML error, you might try doing right-click "save link as".
1x1 Row house. All furniture is base game. Paint, not so sure, but none of it is custom. One floor tile is custom. Stairs, not sure. You can easily replace stairs if they are a problem. I have all EPs but Pets, H&M, Celebrations.

Question for Pbox: What are Seasons crybabies?
Madame Mim:
Seasons crybabies = the incessant crying that started happening in Seasons pre-patch - which I (unwillingly) lost when forced to patch installing BV (or maybe Glamour) and am still bitter about.
Are the people getting crashes using lighting mods (ie Gunmod's mod) and the people who aren't getting crashes not? or visa versa.
Sorry - these are just stupid questions. I haven't installed the lot for testing.
