Title: Party Timer missing
Post by: Nebula on 2009 February 27, 17:37:36
I've encountered a strange bug in my game. On one of my Uni lots, a Greek House, the party timer is missing. I can host parties fine, but the timer never shows up, and thus I never get a good or bad party, and it never ends. Guests either leave randomly, or I have to tell them to leave. It happened after I threw a Grad party, and I did use the Lot Debugger to nuke stuck party controller (or something to that effect), but I don't get a timer anyway, and there is no option to fix or nuke anything helpful on the Debugger anymore. Anyone know what's wrong?

I have all EPs and SPs except Celebration, and the Director's Cut hacks.

Are your hacks all up to date?  I seem to remember having this problem once, and it turned out to be because I'd failed to keep my hacks current.

This happened to me, too.  I think it had something to do with having a Toga Party, a date, and a Secret Society abduction running all at the same time.  A sim was blocking one of my other sim's path out of the house during his abduction, and something got stuck, so his abduction was "in progress" and it screwed with all the timers. 

I don't remember a hack conflict or unupdated Awesomeware.  I deleted the affected sim and saved and exited, and then did not throw any parties or run any dates until he was properly abducted.  Once that happened, everything was ok again.

My hacks are all up to date, but there was several actions going on at the same time when the first sim graduated, so when the next one was about to graduate I tried ProfButters' advice, and I got my timer back. Thanks!
