Cannot interact with fellow apartment tenant after outing
Zarifeke:
The scenario: My sim wants to go to an outing with two friends. One is a random townie she met at a club, the other is a resident of my sim's apartment. I add them both to a group, and invite them out to a community lot. Oops, my sim gets stuck in the taxi because the apartment girl is actually inside her apartment; no worries, I read about this happening, quit without saving. I try again, this time asking the girl to come out of her apartment and then inviting the group out. It works! They have a good time blah blah, I come back and end the outing.
Ever since that point, I CANNOT interact with the girl in the apartment no matter what I've tried. I knock on her door and go in, the only interaction that is available is the ACR mod's Casual menu. I call her out, same thing.
I saw a similar problem in http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,14213.msg407551.html#msg407551 and tried to take the girl out on another outing. Once I got to the community lot, I could interact normally with her. When I got back and ended the outing, back to only the ACR interaction. I even tried force error-delete-save and reload. I summoned her back with Inge's teleporter, and I could interact with her! When I said goodbye to get her back into her apartment, she broke again >.<
I would appreciate any help. I've gotten no errors at all during all of this, so I don't have any logs to attach. At this point, all I can think to try is moving her in with someone and just playing her that way, I was probably going to do that eventually anyway. I'm just overworried about her being broken and messing things up somehow if I try that.
My mods that are Non-Awesome are:
Twojeffs' ACR
College Adjuster (Twojeffs)
Inge's AL Teleporter
A mod that makes business perks passed along instantly. (The creator said he didn't think it would need to be updated, and I'm assuming it shouldn't be a problem?)
Basically 90% of the mods I have are Awesome, and I'm pretty sure Delphy/Clean Installer didn't point out any hidden hacks in my enormous downloads folder.
So any help/advice would be nice! And if all there is to do is make her a playable sim, that's really not a big deal. (Yes I tried to be thorough in my post ;D)
Edit: Removed all hacks that I had, the sim was now completely non-interactable; the cursor was greyed out when I hovered it over her.
Moar edit: I did some spring cleaning in that enormous download folder. Good news, load times are considerably better! Unfortunately, Apartment Girl is still broken. I basically removed every single custom object/furniture.
dragoness:
You said you removed your hacks, and then you removed a lot of your CC. Did you try removing the downloads folder entirely to see if it works then?
Zarifeke:
Oops yeah, I just tried that and she's still not working =/ Only thing I can see to try at this point is moving her out and maybe moving her back into the same apartment as a playable sim. I'm just wondering if it's a VBT and she'll end up destroying the world in the process!
Edit: Further testing results. I removed ALL CC, created a sim in a completely empty testing neighborhood. I plopped down a copy of the same apartment (it was one of those ones in the specialty lot bins that can be used over and over) and had the same townie come into the apartment as a tenant. I then cheated up their friendship, had them go out on an outing, and come back. I ended the outing, had my sim say goodbye to the other girl, AND SHE BROKE AGAIN!
I'm going to wager it's either the lot, the specific sim, or maybe something is borked with apartment tenants and outings.
Unless there's something I missed? I COMPLETELY removed the downloads folder, and made sure there wasn't anything else hidden in any of the other folders. At this point I'm just wondering if I can move the offending sim in somewhere and play her without stuff breaking. And maybe just avoid outings altogether with apartment people. I'd really like to keep this neighborhood.
Moar edit: Oh yeah, as far as EPs, I have every expansion installed, but the only stuff pack I have is the one that comes with Sims 2 Double Deluxe.
Magicmoon:
In your test hood, what happens if you go on an outing with the other tenants? Do all of them break or does it only break this one certain townie that you want living there?
Zarifeke:
I'm gonna mention their names now since they seem to be consistent. I just tried it on Makoto St. Julien in my testing neighborhood, and he is non-interactable now. He didn't show up in the other neighborhood's apartment but I did see him around town as a townie. The name of the girl I first encountered this with is Kaylynn Spitzig, and she showed up as a tenant in both neighborhoods.
I'm going to guess that if I try it with the other tenants, the same thing will happen, since I *think* they are all from the same social group/apartment townie/whatever they are pool.
Edit: The fact that they can be interacted with on the community lot after taking them on another outing, and also at home, and also if I happen to summon them, makes me think they're not completely broken. It's only after I do the say goodbye interaction/end the outing, and they go back into their apartment, are they then borked and I can't do any interactions with them. While I can knock on other non-broken people's doors and interact with them just fine.
Edit!: Another thing to note, Jill Fleig was the name of the other girl I brought along at the start of this, who is also in the social group of sims, and she did NOT break at all. I was able to invite her over fine and interact all I wanted. So it seems like something specific to apartment residents.
