Lobonannies... lobotomized? Nannies leave early.
jrd:
Nannies in my game are broken in a way: the nannie shows up when called, but immediately after her van has left another van appears, and she departs.
This would have cost me a kid already to the SS-worker if I hadn't deleted the b*tch.
Frustratingly no error log is created at all.
I have removed all my downloads and created a new neighbourhood, and the error did not occur. I then placed only the FFS mods in, and created a new neighbourhood, and the error occurs again. After some more elimination I found the hack that most likely causes this is the lobonanny package.
The problem does not appear in the default hoods since I haven't yet killed off the nannies there, so the game hasn't generated new ones.
The bugged neighbourhoods all include two character files for the nannies:
N004_User00080.package is a 2kb file, and N004_User00080.1.package is the 223kb real file.
I don't really now how I can explain it otherwise, there seems to be an issue with lobonanny.package. I have the one dated 28-04-2005.
J. M. Pescado:
Hmm. That's interesting. I'll look into it, but I really don't have a good explanation for the behavior at this time. Does the issue occur even when there is no baby controller present or if the lobotomize option is turned off?
jrd:
Yes, just having the lobonanny package in the downloads folder as the nannies are generated is enough. I don't always use the baby controller, and this happens even if the item has never been used in the neighbourhood at all.
I like to play with clean neighbourhoods, so my last few games were all bugged until I renamed the lobonanny package.
It doesn't seem to matter if I let the game generate the NPCs or if I use dizzy2's townie/NPC maker for this.
J. M. Pescado:
Hmmm. That is very curious, given that in the absence of a baby controller, the added code block should be bypassed entirely and function normally. Testing results seem unable to reproduce the outcome. I have no explanation for this behavior at this time, it baffles me. You're certain you have the latest, yes? Older versions had some odd artifacts, which would persist until the nanny's code was replaced, either by replacing the nanny entirely, or replacing the code manually....
jrd:
I grabbed a copy from the last 'more awesome than you' collection. There doesn't seem to be a newer version.
Just to be certain: is the lobonanny package supposed to create the .1.package files for nannies?
