FFS "Batbox" Lot Debugger v2.0: NUCLEAR WAR EDITION
Magicmoon:
I haven't played with townies in a long time, so have forgotten some of their default behavior.
Sim meets a dormie and after graduating, marries her on his home lot. They marry under the arch, she then transitions to an adult, and moves in. Her YA status on her age bar has a red X through it.
I select her, and click on lot debugger. The option to upgrade her is missing, but 'fix want slots and locks' is available and I click it. I don't know what problem she had, but I didn't see anything change. The option to upgrade her is still unavailable.
Now I'm aware that if a Sim drops out of college, that they get the X through the YA age, are supposed to get some type of memory for dropping out of school (she didn't get any memory, just of the wedding), and must retain their original 4 want slots unless they passed freshman year. But what are we supposed to do with dormies? Must we move them in and educate them before marrying them just to allow them to be able to have the max slots and locks? Are they unable to be fixed with the debugger?
And although this doesn't belong here, has anyone had any luck downloading Moar Fight? I get the following message when I try to download it. All the other package files download fine.

Did you move her in first, or have them marry first? I've never been able to get them married until the dormie had already transitioned to adult through the move-in, and then the debugger worked fine giving all the want slots.

Second that. I have never been able to get a dormie married to a playable until the dormie was invited over and moved in. Move in triggers the transition from YA to Adult and the dormie should grow up with the same status as the playable - if your sim graduated, the dormie should likewise be graduated. Then they can marry and all is bliss (or as much bliss as you care to give them).
The red X would appear to be a sign that something did not go quite as expected, but is a post-uni tag - consequently your former dormie is not a pre-uni Sim, but a uni dropout (so the game seems to think) and therefore no upgrade option (my hypothesis, I know, but it seems logical to me). Have you checked memories to see what the sim remembers happening? Do they have a graduation memory, or dropout memory, for example?
Magicmoon:
Well, most of the marriages have not suceeded unless I move them in first, but the last marriage I did actually worked correctly, so I saved and tried this wedding without moving her in first, and it also worked. I've been using Jordi's Lot full of Sims and up until the last 2 weddings, I have had to move them in first. I'm not sure what changed. I'm still using Seasons.
I was somewhat surprised to see her transition under the arch just after they said their I do's. I don't think I've ever seen that before.
So are you saying that because the game worked correctly this time, that it blew my chances to fix her?
She only had the memories of date stuff, falling in love, and the wedding. No graduation, no drop out, or even a move-in memory is present.

Actually, the game worked incorrectly -- YAs are not supposed to be able to get married. They can only get engaged -- they must transition to adults first before they can marry.
(Of course, there are hacks that change that, the kitten killer being one...)
