Title: flagrant system error every 15 game minutes, no sims selected when traveling
Post by: thisregisabsurd on 2012 May 27, 00:21:40
Game is version 1.33, with a recent awesomemod (< one week old) installed, and no other mods installed.

The game seems to be working normally, until I attempt to travel (I have travelled successfully in the past), but when the foreign map finally loads, there is a flagrant sims error that occurs every 15 game minutes, and my sims don't show up so there are no portraits in the left side of the window. Has this happened to anyone before? Does anybody know what the problem is?

Are you attempting to travel with any quest relics in your inventory?

I will fix this in the next update, but honestly, this is more of a symptom than the problem: There should never be a situation in which the game is actively running the clock yet there isn't an active household, and the fact that your travel didn't load a household correctly is a symptom of a bigger, not-AwesomeMod-related problem, which in turn triggering a cascade error condition because a basic condition of the game has been violated. So, this update will stop this particular error, but your game is probably still going to break because whatever is causing this basic state violation is still there.

I was able to find a previous save that was not too long ago where this does not happen, thankfully. I am assuming that this would not be easy to fix, or even fixable...

The only thing that I did which I think that could have been a contributor to the problem would have been editing an existing dog in CAS by using shift-click? That is pretty much the only time I've used it. It is strange that it would glitch travel since dogs don't travel.

I had the lack of an active household issue when I had a Sim return from Egypt the last time I played two days ago. I never got any errors pop up but then I'm not sure I have the option turned on to be able to see those anyway.
There was no UI but time was still running. My cursor was reacting as though I was in Map View trying to select a house to play.
I'm just about to update AM and will try traveling again some time soon.
