Game Designer Career Script Error

Post by Chicken0895 » December 24th, 2015, 1:37 am

Happy holidays everyone!

My sim recently returned from University. When she attempted to join the Game Designer career, a script error is generated by Careers. I tried to use Master Controller instead of joining the career at the rabbit hole, but it generated a script error also.

I tried setting my sims nerd influence to -1 and back to 10 to try the pop up window, but another script error was generated. Lastly, I tried Overwatch's "Reset Everything" command, to no avail.

I've uploaded both the Careers and Master controller zips (in one .zip file). Both list "System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary" as the error.

This one is caused by Shimrod's Career Rehire at Same Level tuning mod or an out dated tuning mod related to careers.

Thank you! It turned out to be a mod I had to add other careers to university degrees. It wasn't outdated, so I think it was conflicting with Academics.

It looks like it is actually an issue with the career itself. I added the Game Designer to the technology degree using Academics, and it gives the same error. If I take it out of Academic's tuning, no error.

This problem exists because the game developer career branches out starting at level 4. If a sim has a university degree that places him/her at level four, the game does not know which level 4 to put the sim at and errors out instead.

I believe we arrived at a similar conclusion about why Shimrod's mod causes it. Good catch on that one :)
