Awesomemod Request Thread
J. M. Pescado:
I am not familiar with this functionality, it is probably a core EA debugging function and not part of AwesomeMod, so tampering with it is not wise. In any event, to make something like that persistent across saves would involve altering the save format of the game and thus be further unwise.

I have a request to make AM compatible with the EA travel system and the Traveler mod by NRaas (twallan). NRaas Traveler allows you to travel to any installed world, either for vacation or permanently. However when one travels to a regular world (EA worlds, Store worlds or user-created), one will run into the "red box" issue. I don't know the details of this, only that the relationship panel will break and display red squares instead of a Sim portrait and will leave the relationship panel broken.
Another NRaas mod, RelationshipPanel, has a fix for this, but this mod is incompatible with Awesome as it uses the ctrl-shift-click command for different functionalities. My request therefore is to have the fix for the "red box" issue as part of AM, so that I won't need the other mod to fix it, especially as I have no use for the additional functions in the RelationshipPanel mod. I'd rather use the AM functions.
Here's a bit of info on this:

I have used the Nrass traveller and travelled to isla paradisio (or whatever) and returned (also travelled to a couple of the EA vacation worlds) without any major issues, the relationships and panels remain intact, no red boxes of anything. I just stopped using it due to minor annoyances, mainly that it cancels out the no aging potion and causes the sims to age, and it maintains a sims job when they are travelling, sometimes the sims simply are not required to go to work, other times they are required to go, especially in the future. Also, get the settings wrong and you don't get any future relations when going into the future. I also do not use, and have never used the relationship panel mod.
My main reason for wanting to use it was the ability to freeze aging in the vacation worlds, and to allow my sims to do the islands and houseboats thing at different times, but too many minor annoyances for my liking, so I stopped using it.

I don't know of this issue, probably because I have never attempted such an abomination. What exactly does this relationship panel do that fixes it? Removes the broken relationships? Simply hides them?

As I said I don't know very much about the details, but here's what I found.
The red box issue looks like this:
It is basically that one Sim breaks while displaying the relationship panel and turns out as a red box; all relationships that are supposed to turn up after the broken one will then miss from the panel. It is an issue that can also occur without traveling and in homeworlds. I know that I have had this occasionally in my homeworlds, too, when I changed households in quick succession with ctrl-shift clicking.
From what I remember it is mostly caused by the game failing to update career stats in the relationship panel. And that's probably why I run constantly into this when I use Traveler to travel to a regular world, because there are Sims with careers in those destinations. I had it even when traveling to a fresh world and in a fresh game. My Sim knew a few people in his homeworld but none in the destination Bridgeport but when he arrived there the red box showed as the first relationship and the rest was completely empty (it should have shown some 10 Sims from the homeworld as greyed out relationships).
According to NRaas FAQ it is a general bug in the game but only made more apparent when traveling to "non-legit" destinations:
Quote
A relationship listing consisting of a totally red portrait is the result of a script error while displaying the contents of the Relationship Panel.
This may be caused by a corrupt relationship link, or simply by an EA error while displaying the sim's portrait
Since the Core game stops adding portraits to the window after a script error, you may find that many of your relationships are no longer listed.
To correct the issue install RelationshipPanel.
That mod replaces the display mechanism on that window with one that catches and reports script errors, allowing the window to continue displaying regardless of the error.
And now that I mention this I remember that I've had it before without the Traveler mod installed when I traveled to the future and one household member bounced the panel with a script error mentioning career data and Awesome. I thought that I had posted this script error here in the bug report but cannot find it anymore.
