Object error from batch creating dormies in FT :(
twistingsims:
After using the empty templates for the university hoods, I wanted to batch create dormies and using Jordi's instructions (4b), I used the mailbox instead of the NPC and Townie maker as the latter would only give me the option of generate one townie at a time.
Using the mailbox, I was able to select generate townies and then selected townies ( I assume this is the same procedure for dormies in the university hoods.) It would start the generation process and then stop and produce an ObjectError box. I tried again several times and was able to generate around 15 but I stopped after getting so many ObjectError boxes.
I have all expansions up to and including FT, unpatched. I use only mods from the DC with the exception of;
Other hacks: Carrigon_ForeverBurnFireplaces, No Shoving from Look Through, alexx_no_automusplay_funmore55_FT,alexx_no_autosplash_puddle, and alexx_Visitors_Still_Here_FT
Any suggestions would be great! :D

If you remove your hacks and CC objects from Downloads, does the game allow generation of dormies/townies using the mailbox?

I have had the same problem. http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,11620.0.html
I didn't find a solution, but it did seem that generating the dormies one at a time with the gun managed to do so without errors.
In the end, I decided that going with a pre-populated uni was less painful than generating 50 dormies one by one so that's what I did. I know you don't need 50 dormies, but that's what the game creates, so it's what I wanted. Of course, now I have unbearably ugly dormies rather than the ones created with decent face templates, so I'm seriously considering toasting the hood and starting over. Again.

I got an error when trying to create dormies as well. I have nothing after seasons and townies could be created without a problem.
Seems like batch creating dormies is just borked. However it is possible to create YAs in the YACas and turn them into dormies on a residential unilot with the teleporter shrub. I populated my uni that way.
Itīs not that time consuming as you can create 8 dormies at once and you can tweak anything if the clothes or hair option are too horrible. Itīs also a big plus that everyone can have a different last name, as only the YACas is used.

@ jolrei, thanks! I hope it's not a mod, soo time consuming! :(.
@ Ness, thank you for your reply, I was worried that I might have caused some unseen errors, so far so good! It's definitely hard to decide on 50 (WOW that is a lot) or just doing a few. I am glad I only got 15 or so, I think that will be plenty. :D
@ abelle, thanks for the info, I am glad not to be the only one who had this problem. I might go with the CAS option next time around, give more uniqueness to the hood! :)
