giving birth FUBAR'ed
lurklurklurk:
So, I've been playing with debug mode always on lately, and the last time my sim tried to give birth, there was an error right as the game went to play the cinematic:
My cursor was gone, and I thought I was screwed. But by clicking randomly on the screen, I managed to reset. After the movie played, I got no option to name the baby, the mom still looked pregnant, and build/buy mode were disabled. The baby was not selectable ( I mean I could not click on here to have the mother pick her up). If only I had had the lot debugger on the lot I could have reenabled controls. It's just kind of ugly so I just buy it as needed. I'm a fool, I know. I quit without saving.
Upon re-entering the lot, my sim went and gave birth again and this time I did not have debug mode on. The cinematic played (it was kind of messed up though), but then after the baby was born once again I got no option to name the baby, the mom still looked pregnant, build/buy mode were disabled and the baby was not selectable.This time I was ready. I reenabled controls and deleted the baby with moveobjects, saved, exited, returned, and the baby was by the mailbox, right as rain. I renamed her with TJ's sim blender. To fix mom's false pregnancy, I repollenated her ;)
So, why is this happening? I have the error log from the first time. Because the error involved the spectral assistant, I wonder if she is the culprit.
Thanks for your help. Sorry it was such a tale.

This is an unusual error, yes. I suggest you delete the spectral assistant from the lot and see if continues.

I forced my sim to give birth using the insimenator without the spectral assistant present in order to test things. Everything was fine! *whew* I thought my game explodieren.
Incidentally, this test birth was the first time I ever got triplets with the triplets and quads hack. Life is sadorandom. I exited without saving.
I wonder if anyone has had similar problems with the spectral assistant, and if it warrants some sort of fix.
BTW, the spectral assistant is a DUDE. Whenever he/she bitches that there is something in his her its way, it uses the male voice. Also, I've caught it playing the piano.
For the lulz:

That's why you should use Lord Darcy and Dizzy's batch file on the latest lot debugger! A daffodil in a vase is not so unpleasant, no?

It's also impossible to FIND, though. I just bury the Debugger in one of those clearly OOC places, like under the foundation, the stairs, or the roof, where it's not visible under normal conditions.
