instant baby crashes game when aged up

Post by lolabelle69 » May 19th, 2015, 5:32 am

hello, I have mastercroller and cheats installed, I can add a instant baby to my household, the one by picking the parents, and the baby comes out fine, but when I go to age them up it crashes my game immediately. I tried the master controller way in edit sim to age him up, I tried the normal testingcheatsenabled true cheat and triggered age transition, also the other mastercontroller aging up way, all crash the game when he ages up, is this normal? do you think theres a way to fix this? having babies the normal way and aging them up works fine, just when its added by instant baby do they crash when becoming anything besides fresh infant born.

I've never seen this reported before. Do you have Overwatch and ErrorTrap in place? And do you get any different results if you age the baby up using a birthday cake instead of a MC command?

I am hoping to find so info on this. This just happened to me also. It has happened before in a different game also but I forgot how I got around it or even if I posted about it here. But my situation is basically exactly as the OP described.

I do have Overwatch and Error Trap in place. It is not producing a script error but I do see files that begin with xcpt.... when the game gives the message that Sims 3 has stopped working.

I am not sure if it's okay to revive old threads, but I found this during a google search. I too am having issues with crashing when I use MC's instant baby function. :)

@Kadabralin - Not as a general rule, but in this case of course it's fine since it appears we are talking about the same issue. And it looks like we never did reach any kind of conclusion here.

What I don't understand is what the Instant Baby process has to do with any of this. Once a baby is produced and in-game, it shouldn't really matter where or which exact function it came from.

So the issue you are having is when it's time for this baby to age up to toddler as the others stated, is this correct? And can other in-game babies not formed by the MC command age up to toddlers okay without any problems?

Is ErrorTrap, if you have it in play which I hope you do, or are any of the other mods kicking up any script errors, especially on the baby?

You're correct. The crashing happens only when aging up a baby created from instant baby. After testing three times and having crashes, I started just having sims go to the hospital to engineer a baby and then aging them up and it works fine. I've practically made a child army at this point with no crash in sight.

It doesn't look like errortrap or overwatch is catching anything either, but I'll double check.

I made another kid with instant baby and aged them up to see if it would crash again and spit out a script error, but it didn't crash this time. Bizarre. :/

I haven't been able to reproduce another crash yet, but the game DOES lag and freeze when using instant baby. Not sure if that's normal or not, and ES hasn't generated anything.

I would think any crashing on age up may be due to bad CC. The lag during use of the function is normal, it's intensive to create a new Sim.
