Clothing Mesh Causes Crash When Purchasing Community Lot (confirmed)
Sagana:
That's not the same mesh. It doesn't look like a full body mesh turned into a top only either. And I think if the mesh was the reason, the game would crash every time (because it can't properly create the thumbnail), so I suspect something else is the cause (but I'm not a coder, nor awesome, so add your own salt.)
RainbowTigress:
It seems that it's only been recently that the game generates dynamic thumbnails when displaying a dialogue box, because I've only noticed it since I got OFB. I think I definitely would have noticed before, because it caught my attention when I noticed that the portrait displayed was different.
Also, I know Pescado hates thank yous, and All Pescados Suck, but I was so grateful that he took the time to investigate my problem with the BUY toilet paper causing a CTD (crash to desktop) after putting in a new version. I was still on NL, and he had redone all the hacks to consolidate NL and OFB versions, with code to detect what EP you have. But something wasn't working right and it kept causing a CTD every time. He didn't believe it at first, saying it was a "Rainbow problem," but someone else reported the same thing, and since it didn't happen with OFB only NL, he worked with me until we got the problem solved. So while I don't care for some of his opinions and social skills, I have high regard for his skills as a programmer and his integrity.
J. M. Pescado:
I still can't find any kind of logical explanation for why it was doing that, given that the code in question was never invoked.

I only have NL up to the latest patch, but I have dynamic thumbnails, so it's not just an OFB thing. I notice it when my sim gets an invitation to go on an outing. The dialog box sometimes shows the sim in work clothes, totally different from the thumbnail in the relationships panel or the address book.
It might have come with the 2nd NL patch, though I can't imagine why Maxis would put something like that in a patch.
