Oh wow. Bless you kind stranger! Perfect I'll have a look! Boat neighborhood I assume means isla paralagso? But from what I take it doesn't prevent sims from randomly spawning boats to path over water.

Sorry if I've been leading you down the wrong path, I've just been trying things I usually try when my game breaks.

"To verify that your trait loaded successfully, use the "traitinfo" console command to see if data could be brought up." - from 'creating custom traits'.

Are you 100% sure that story progression is turned off in NRAAS?

Are you testing in a brand new world?

I also run the patch for after version 1.67, for the game before Origin, just in case any files have become corrupt. If you play through STEAM, don't do that, I don't know what version 1.69 does.

It may simply be unimplemented/unfinished and I've asked about it already, so I'll let you know if I hear back, but, in principle, you should be able to add the option to the internal XML file in aweconf.package, if you know how to do that.

Update: Pescado says that it is implemented, and that what it does is stops free boats from spawning in sim inventories so they have to pay for them properly. He doesn't seem to recall why it's not in the config tool.

Update update:
17:40 <@Pescado> Okay, there, I fixed it.
17:40 <@Pescado> The server didn't have the latest aweconf file so the page script wasn't
                 listing it.
17:41 <@Pescado> The config option made it so sims don't get free boats outside of the
                 Boat World.
17:41 <@Pescado> Default game, apparently, gave every sim, everywhere, regardless, a free
                 boat that they didn't need.
17:42 <@Pescado> AwesomeMod changes that so they only receive the boat in the boat
                 Neighborhood, because that's the boat world.

Just a question btw if you happen to know. When I typ showconfig an option appear that you can't alter in the configuration file from the awesomemod website. Namely "no free boat". You cant change it yourself in the config file from here, but I'd like to have it permnanently as false (if I understood what it means correctly) cause I do have issues with random townies trying to path through waters but it kinda fudges up most of the time.

Can you add, uh... "incontinent", "pedobait", "narcolepsy", or "tealdeer"? If none of those work (disclaimer: I'm not sure whether any of them might have been removed, because some of the traits were never fully implemented, although I think those all were) then you probably don't have any of the Awesomemod traits, and you should check your config first and then check for possible trait list conflicts.
I actually think there's a command you can use to list traits, but I'm not sure what it is. Try "traitinfo"? That might just be for info on specific traits though. (You should still use it to test out specific traits to see if that might give more useful information.)
If one or more of those DO work, then you have at least some Awesomemod traits, but you might be missing the Administrative traits (which is what sacred and radar are) in particular. I've asked Pescado if there are any others that you can try to confirm; I'll let you know.

Just to be totally sure, try using addtrait on a basegame trait you know exists, too, to make sure it isn't trait-adding that's broken somehow.

(And, to be clear, it's definitely "sacred" and not "blessed", that one I have seen in the game specifically.)

Hmm, I tried the addtrait. I tried 'sacred' 'radar' 'bless' 'blessed'. It came up as a non-existant trait. Maybe there is my issue somehow.

The trait for sacred is 'sacred'. It looks like the trait for radar is 'radar', but I didn't confirm that in game or by looking in the package. The command actually just applies the trait, so it's exactly the same - doing it for the whole household just means applying the trait to everyone in the household. Well, I guess it's possible it could be doing something extra I don't know about - ask Pescado.

For the record, witch's advice here is completely unrelated to anything that could reasonably be the problem.

I'll give that a try! What is the name of the trait for sacred and the trait for radar? I assume that also that means it will only track and/or protect that sim and not the whole household.

UberCuber: my game resets itself to default options when I swap out an AM. I have to go into game options and set everything the way I want it.

ETA: Try clearing all leftover caches from previous games. I made a batch file.

ETA2: Make sure you are using AM's story mode drivers. Check your AM config file. You may have to turn off NRAAS storydriver in its own interface. There's also a way to turn off the command line feature if you don't use it, so check that it's on. (Testing cheats enabled true?). There is a setting in NRAAS that by default disables the command line.

STORY MODE FEATURES:
1.  Awesome Story Driver [Optional - Default: Enabled]
     Enables the experimental AwesomeMod Story Driver, replacing the EA driver.
2.  God's Chosen People
     Control-Clicking a sim/house will offer the option to "Make Sacred" or
     "Remove Sacred", giving that household or sim immunity to StoryProgression
     and other assorted random toadings. The Chosen receive a gold halo on
     their house and on their tracking tags when tracked on radar. You may
     switch instantly between the Chosen household with CRTL-RClick. This
     feature will only function if you are using the EA-based or Awesome Story
     drivers. Other third-party drivers do not use this.


ETA3: Blessed is the only other word that Sacred ever used, to my knowledge.
