Jumpy Teen!

(1/3) > >>

ZephyrZodiac:
I know teens can be jumpy, but this is ridiculous!  This teen was fine as a toddler, fine as a child, but since he's become a teen he constantly resets, he suddenly appeared by the front steps at 11.00 am when he had gone on the school bus as he should have done, and I can't work out what's wrong.  I've tried changing any downloads which might have affected him, though why him and not his parents has me beat!  I've changed his appearance, and he only has Maxis clothes.  He also seems to have no free-will, although I always play with free-will on.

Any ideas, folks?

J. M. Pescado:
Sounds like an interaction test tree he's trying to perform is error, resulting in random hiccups. Log?

ZephyrZodiac:
Not yet.  I've never been able to work out how to do it!  I know this admission will get my lips ripped, but there youhave it!

Well, I've managed to do it!  (Never managed before!)  Now how do I upload it?

clem:
I'm probably going to be completely unhelpful, but I just had this problem and I think I managed to solve it without screaming on the board here.

My kid was studying from a book and doing a weird freakout every few seconds or so, although he wasn't jumping out of studying completely. I turned on boolprop to see what was causing the trouble. The Nanny Mobile. I had the nanny coming on a regular schedule according to the patriarch's job. And the patriarch had just died. I had the kid's mom call and cancel the nanny, and so far, so good.

For those who have a clue, the error was "tree break encountered." If you want to know more than that, let me know.

J. M. Pescado:
Oh, the nanny mobile. This appears to be the "Portal Bandit" bug, supposedly caused by sims being allowed to simply "Read Book". Somebody on MTS2 had a fix for it. I analyzed that fix, and it doesn't appear to be a complete solution, and the sim will jump the moment the error occurs, as far as I can tell, but it will stop the portal banditry which causes the disintegration of random game controllers like portals.
