Clothing Mesh Causes Crash When Purchasing Community Lot (confirmed)
Ivy:
It's been confirmed here:
http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=182634
To sum up:
When wearing the "dress as tops" tops that have been made at MTS2, and trying to purchase a community lot, your game will crash.
Is there anyone more awesome than me that can write a hack that can stop the game from accessing the line of code that HystericalParoxysm references in order to have these meshes fully workable in game? "I don't think there's going to be any fix for the dress tops that will keep this from happening - dress tops are made by cloning a full body mesh, importing the 3d model for a top only, and then changing one line in the recolour file's settings to tell it that it's a top. It's really a very simple, elegant way of doing it... And in order for something to work like a dress top, that seems to be the way it has to be done. There doesn't appear to be an alternate dress top method....So the problem is really not so much with the dress tops themselves as it is with the code that runs when a sim goes to buy a community lot. For some reason, it's accessing what the buying sim is wearing when it does it... which makes exactly 0 sense."
The other workaround listed, to have the sim in question merely change clothing prior to buying a community lot, is not IMHO a good solution.
Removing all the tops created is not a good option either, as that ignores the fact that there does indeed exist this problem.
This may or may not come up again for other meshes out there, and I'd rather have a fix for it in place in order to prevent it from happening.
Thank you to anyone who may take an interest in coming up with a solution to this problem.

There is no good reason the game should *crash* altogether. This is EA and Maxis' fault. Complain to them, though I doubt they really care.
J. M. Pescado:
I am presently conducting tests to determine what instruction triggers the crash.

Thank you JM for taking the time to look into this issue.
It is much appreciated!

In my game, this mesh also causes crash to the desktop when trying to give my sim a job (newspaper) and when she tries to give birth.... I did not try to buy a community lot.... It sad because it's a really nice mesh/idea, but for the moment I took it out of my downloads folder (my game is too long too load for my taste to let it crash every 5 minutes !!)
