Phones not working -- actions dropped since BV
qvcatullus:
Hey, all. I hadn't played in a long time, then I grabbed the more recent expansions and plugged them all in. I also tried to update my hacks, but maybe I missed something and that's causing my problem.
When my sims attempt to use the phone, the action is just dropped out of the queue. It shows up if the game is paused when I select it, but on unpause it immediately drops out of the queue. In addition to that, my sim that owns several businesses doesn't get the 'check in with businesses' option, but I wonder if that's simply because the expansions have moved that to somewhere else where I can't find it.
I thought that perhaps the problem was that the phonehack was not up to date with BV, but I redownloaded the BV version and it was the same thing I had already put in there. I'm hoping that someone recognizes the problem or has a good idea where to start before I start messing with a binary search to pin down what's going wrong.
jolrei:
Did you remove old hacks before putting in updates? Some earlier hacks have been rendered obsolete, so there may be old versions sitting there that conflict. Remove ALL awesome hacks and reinstall from the BV director's cut (assuming you have BV).
Which EPs are you running, by the way?
qvcatullus:
I am running all the EP's now -- uni, NL, OFB, Pets, seasons, and BV.
I did attempt to remove the hacks before installing, but I do have a very messy downloads folder, so I'm thinking it's possible that something was missed.
I didn't see a BV director's cut -- latest director's cut I found was for Seasons. I must have been looking in the wrong place. I was mostly just downloading the files I thought I needed from the BV folder.
KatEnigma:
It sounds to me like the phone hack was still in your downloads folder when you installed. Remove your entire downloads folder, uninstall BV, reinstall, and then try on a throwaway lot. If everything looks okay, put your downloads back, with the new versions of the hacks. You also will want to scan through your folder with clean installer to look for duplicates or outdated hacks.
qvcatullus:
I think I've narrowed down the problem. I forgot to pull out an old community lot parties hack that apparently doesn't work anymore with BV.
Unfortunately in the meantime I uninstalled BV and am having trouble trying to restore backed-up versions of the neighborhood.
Anyhow, I think that's the issue. Might be useful to know for anyone else having the same problem.
