One Sim Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Rhaevyn:
Much as it pains me to even enter a thread here, I've finally given up my week long searching, reading, experimenting and general hair pulling.
I'll try and keep this concise. What I'm looking for is someone who can make sense of this garble that is an error log. Well, I have quite a few, actually, but I'll just attach the first two (why are they so long?).
The short of it is, I upgraded my PC, made the fatal error of getting all the latest EPs and basically I'd just like to play (and understand what the HELL is going on here). I'm not crashing to desktop. I've experienced no BFBVFS. And so far I've only begun playing in Uni with a couple sims and some generated NPC dormies.
My problem is that if I add another task to my sim's queue (assuming I have them doing something, or they have engaged in something), then I stomp the first one, both tasks poof.
And everyone's gone mad. They all walk around the dorm I built doing that "you're crazy" animation, like someone's dancing. But... no one's dancing, well, except in the living room, in one small room downstairs. It's actually pretty funny... in a sort of disturbing way. And I have to admit the nouniprotect hack is definitely hilarious - I have several students passed out all over the place *snort* ... I digress...
Some of the other errors had to do with "missing effect names" or "headline errors."
The first one (attached) was upon first entering the lot. The next one when I canceled her playing chess after achieving a logic skill point.
I don't expect to "fix" my game, per se, I'd just like to understand what the hell's going on. At least that would give me some piece of mind at least.
Thanks in advance to the more technically inclined.

Why does it pain you?

That's peace of mind BTW.
Unless you are currently missing a few pieces?
J. M. Pescado:
DO NOT FORCE ERRORS ON THINGS WITHOUT BEING ASKED TO!
It DOES NOT HELP.
As for your other error, I've never seen anything like it. Your game appears to be missing vital data. You should probably try reinstalling.
Rhaevyn:
It pains me because I hate asking for help when I can look for it or research it.
And you are absolutely correct on my incorrect usage of the word 'piece.' It was perhaps a subconscious thought of wanting to give EAxis a piece of my mind. Or maybe it was a Freudian slip or even exhaustion... take your pick.
To JM: You are yelling at me because???
I take it you mean I am not to use the boolprop unless you yourself ask me to? Sorry, you have confused me. And I will take your suggestion and reinstall. Was figuring that was probably the best solution anyway. I just wondered if anyone was able to determine the cause. If you've never seen the error then I'll just go ahead and start over.
Thanks for the reply... although ... my eyes! =p
Emma:
You have to use the error log that is generated when an error actually happens. Shift>Clicking and forcing an error does not help and is useless. If no error log is automagically generated then you just have to describe your 'error' in great detail, listing EPs/SPs installed, CC/Hacks and the scenario, location and sims involved. Then we might be able to help.
