Post by: lindaetterlee on 2007 December 06, 08:34:36
Short Version:

New Hood, Deleteallcharacters. Make new family. Take on vacation. Error on EVERY Vacation com lot.

Some logs attached.

Please advice. Only playing with Maty hacks. All current BV versions. (I have all eps and SPs)

Short answer? DAC bad.

I haven't seen this problem in my DAC'ed lands, so I'm inclined to suspect Tight Pants. The last one is you FORCING an error. I will review the first 2 later.

When the lot would load I would try hitting reset a few times then eventually have to hit delete.

lol witch. Smart ass.


The lot was still "playable" but no townies would ever show. Only the NPCs cooking, massage, and tour npcs.

Verdict is Tight Pants: Code error line does not match current Awesomeware OR Maxis code. No Awesomeware modifies offending erroring BHAV and the standard Maxis BHAV cannot generate this error. Therefore, it is the work of the Non-Awesome.

Odd, Since there isn't any non-awesome in my hack directory.

Run clean-installer on your downloads folder, just in case something snuck in ages ago or with something else you downloaded. Hacks in pink, dupes in red. Or it may be the opposite. There's a key, anyways.

Its a new downloads folder. No other content then Maty. I like to delete shit often.

If it isn't "tight pants" then you must have corrupted the objects.package file. I don't see how else you can get that particular object error.

Would you think it would be the BV objects.package or the the Teen stuff  Objects.package?


Title: Re: Vacation Comm lot Error: Community Lot - Populator
Post by: dizzy on 2007 December 07, 04:15:12
Probably the BV one, since that's the exe you're running, right?


Title: Re: Vacation Comm lot Error: Community Lot - Populator
Post by: lindaetterlee on 2007 December 07, 17:32:36
Yes sir. But the problem did not occur until Teen stuff was installed....

I don't go for the "corrupted objects.package" explanation.  That's quite hard to do.   I've seen that error discussed before, it was something to do with TJ's visitor controller and/or Monique's computer.

If it's the VC, then it's some version of it I've never seen. Monique's computer cannot possibly have anything to do with those errors (plus I use Monique's computers and I have yet to see the described error).

Neither of those items is Awesome, so if she has those lurking in her game, then it IS, in fact, the work of the non-Awesome.

I use both, and I wouldn't do without either. TJ has the newest Visitor Controller up, maybe you have an outdated model, Linda. Monique's computers are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I don't think they are global mods.

I have neither of them in my game. Again NEW downloads folder. ONLY JM hacks.

In retrospect, it's probably some difficulty related to DAC. You're probably not doing it at the appropriate time and/or not cleaning up afterward properly. Maybe an empty template would be a better way to go.

Yet the error you describe is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, as it does not match any code we have! How does THAT work?
