FT: game keeps crashing when sim is about to become elder - SOLVED
jsalemi:
I'm pretty sure there's a tutorial over on MTS2 about changing a sim's skintone, but for the life of me I can't find it right now. If I do, I'll pass it along.
Aggie:
Crash: to change a skin tone, here's what you do:
1). Open the Neighborhood.
2). Select Sim Browser and then select a Sim that has any other skin tone (preferably one with a Maxis skin tone).
3). When their info comes up, click on the More button and select SimDNA.
4). Copy one of the lines of code from the Skin tone line (doesn't matter if it's recessive or dominant) and paste it into a notepad document.
5). Go back to Sim Browser and select the problem Sim.
6). Click on the More button and then Sim Dna.
7). Paste the skin tone line of code you copied earlier over both the Dominand AND recessive codes. Save.
Enter the game again and (just for good measure) have that Sim go to a mirror to officially change their appearance. The new skin tone should show up. Then try aging them up again.
Crash:
Update:
I followed Angie's instructions and changed the skintone, then tried to age the sim - game still crashed.
I reloaded and forced an error on the sim that won't age. Error log attached.
I tried aging another sim on another lot that I haven't had any problems with whatsoever.
- At first I thought that I worked, because the sim did age (before the crashes always occur right before the aging animation), but then,
when I got to choose 'who to age with me' - the game crashed as soon as I clicked continue on that dialogue. Could that age dialogue feature be the issue with the elders? I am just reaching for straws here, but I am getting desperate.
I am thinking it can't be the skintone though, because the last sim I tried to age did age, and with the correct skintone, the game just crashed anyway...

Since it happens when it's trying to bring up the dialog box to ask if you want to age up townies, I'm wondering whether it might be a hair, skin or outfit worn by a townie he knows. Perhaps one of your townies has a corrupt hair, skin or outfit.
You're not using a "dress as top" outfit are you? The original mesh for that caused crashes when a dialog box was opened, and it was fixed. However, by the time it was fixed other CC creators were already using the bad mesh, and some of this CC is still out there in the Sims community.
Crash:
Hmm, you might be right that it's some kind of cc.
However I don't think I am using 'dress as top', because I don't even recognize the phrase. I don't use random stuff either - most of my hairs are nouks, and skins and outfits are all from mts2.
But I guess I should start removing stuff and see what happens.
