Ottomas family in Seasons - normal brokenness and more brokenness

(1/23) > >>

zoebme:
The Ottomas family in Seasons is broken. As some people already noticed, when the mother gives birth, the babies get Patricia Wan as the father (or other random sims in other neighbourhoods. Apparently even dogs!). I also have this problem, but my problem goes further... The mother never gives birth to the second baby but resets after going through the labour motions. I never had the option to name the first baby, either.

Debug mode comes up with the following errors:

"Missing neighbour for data access" both for the mother and the first baby (guess that than makes them have the wrong father) and
"Required cinematic actor is missing" for the mother during the second birth. Error logs are attached (although not all error logs seem to have been produced, and one seems to be a duplicate).

Does anyone have any ideas, especially about finishing the birth?

PlayLives:
I hope someone can find a solution for this quickly. I've played that family the most so far, they are my farming-country bumpkins. I put some animals in the barn and had big plans for them.

zoebme:
Okay, I worked out why I couldn't give birth properly. The culprit was the new Seasons version of TwoJeffs Age Duration Hack. Once I took that out, there were no errors anymore and both babies arrived normally and could be named. I of course forgot to check who their father was, though  :-[ I'm guessing it is still Patricia, but I will go and have a look in a minute.

*off to TwoJeffs thread first to report*


Edit: Yep, Patricia is still the "father". Oh well.

J. M. Pescado:
This is basically an unresolveable problem. What happens is that when the game crude-splices this family into your neighborhood, it doesn't correct the token data. Therefore, while in the template hood, the pregnancy token contained the correct NID, when they're added to your neighborhood, they get new NIDs. As a result, the NID of the father from the old neighborhood now belongs to an arbitrary sim instead.

They're basically irreversibly corrupt, and you should use either the rollback technique or blank templates.

............... the rollback technique or blank templates.


  ???  Please could somebody explain what those are   :-[
I guess the alternative is to leave them unplayed in the lotbin.
