Total hang-up when trying to play a community lot.
ZephyrZodiac:
OK, update. After reading the above log, I thought it might be worth trying without antiredundancy, so I took that out and sent Damien off to the grocery store. This time, he arrived fine, and then the error message appeared, a different one this time. So I deleted the message as resetting and cancelling did not work, and had Damien spawn the ACR and Visitor Controller adjusters, and that was fine too. The requisite bar person and shop assistant were there, and Damien was able to buy groceries, only he had to buy 600 simoleons' worth, and his fridge is nearly new, he lives alone, and no way was the fridge empty. So then I had him work as bartender to recoup some of this losses, and this worked fine too, then he called a cab and went home, again no problems.
So, now I need to know, even though I allowed playables and townies, why no sims at all visited the lot. He arrived before midnight and stayed until 8.00 am, and there were no visitors at all.
Posting log.

Did you try this without the Visitor Controller? To my uneducated eye it looks like the culprit. Try updating it (I'm using the Seasons beta version and it's fantastic...just wants to allow servos despite my wishes), then removing it.

Have you considered removing any community-lot-related hacks? What about removing all hacks, and putting them back a few at a time?

Thanks, I'll check and see if I have the beta. When I had the problem before with just Pets, I too put it down to the VC, then of course it was the Lady in Red stuff, but found all lots had the problem, not just ones I'd built or revamped. So then I decided it was my game that was mucked up, but then I had the HD incineration and forgot all about it.
The VC spawned normally, and the options were all there as normal, in this second attempt, but just no visitors came. Maybe I should have allowed professors?

As a last resort, I have considered it, but I didn't want my game spawning loads of unwanted characters if I could avoid it. I have very few community-related hacks, but on the first lot I had put my old favourite, Gnomon's flamingo of contentment, so I wondered if it was that, so on the second lot, the grocery, I didn't initially put anything in, not even the debugger, and the lot did load ok, although debug mode did show the error log I posted, and as I said, although Damien was able to function normally, he did have to buy 600 simoleons' worth of groceries for an econocool fridge which wasn't even anywhere near empty. But he left and went home without problems, having earned back the money he lost with not a problem at all.
So, in the first instance, I think removing the antiredundancy meant the game was able to spawn the shop-assistant and the bar-tender, but something else is stopping my playables from visiting the lot as visitors. So I think I will have to remove all my hacks, though it goes against the grain after the hours I've spent setting up this hood and all the VCs and ACRs and then having to do it all again!

Do you mean you could not choose the quantity of food, or do you mean that the scale was 600 ? If it is the latter it is unfortunately normal since OFB I think, where the scale no longer take into account the fridge you have at home and how empty it is. If you mean the former, I don't know...
