Okay yes, if you are on Patch 1.69 already then there is no patching to be done as Origin does it all for you. Inflicting EA's SuperPatch (which is for 1.67) or any lower level incremental patch on the game would actually stand to break it to the point where it no longer runs so let's cross that off the list.

Do you have ErrorTrap in play or are you willing to add it? It might kick up some interesting (to us) script error logs when some of these things happen that can help point to the cause especially when those soft sim resets as described are happening. If you zip such logs together and upload them, we can help interpret what they are saying.

Register's purview is to manage Role Sims and to an extent Service Sims. Yes it fixes a LOT of issues and I can't imagine playing without it, but not any of the particular issues noted above.

I have Master Controller (Base and Cheats), Story Progression (Base and Population), ErrorTrap and DebugEnabler. I'm going to add a few others (right now) including Register and see what happens from there. I recall at one point - and this was when Master Controller was only in the mid-double digits version, I had so many mods from here it was awesome. I see since then several mods have been split because of the many issues cramming everything into the original mod/version would do. Actually makes it easier to pick and choose the updated ones.

I added Overwatch, Register, MC: Progression and Traffic. Everything, so far, is running fine. Interactions with registers behave properly, no reset of Sims. Overwatch is keeping things cleaned up - I hadn't added it sooner as it was causing a conflict but is working fine now.

One problem at present: My Sim married a local Bridgeport boy (Bronson Littler) and since adding the latest mods, his Family Tree was wiped out. Hadn't noticed until his mom hit on him one night - creepy. I'm going to add SP: Relationships and see if it fixes it - if not, do you have any ideas? I mean, it's okay if he has to start fresh without a background, but I'd rather get it back if I can. Thanks.

Do you mean that the display of Bronson's family tree no longer works or that he actually has no relatives now? Family tree displays can break, that's one of the more delicate aspects of the game, but in doing so the sims involved are still actually related.

If Bronson actually has no relatives now, that can be fixed with MC (MC Cheats module). NRaas > MC > (Sim) > Advanced > Family > Add (Parent, Sibling, Child) > and then you will be prompted for the second existing sim to be related to the first one.

No family whatsoever - no mom, dad, sister, half-sister (not even Tiara's new baby girl) - none. He has no relations, no family, just his wife (the Sim I made). I've never seen it happen, and I've gone in and out of that particular game about 5-6 times since adding those 4 mods.

Ah - I wondered what those cheats were for. I'll give it a shot cause his mom keeps asking him out on a date ... totally creepy. (LOL) And am I ever glad I put Overwatch back in the game, the missing Sims was annoying. Still have about a handful of Invisible Sims (stuck in the ground) and ErrorTrap and Debug still only fix the out-of-towners, but as it is, things are working much better. Thanks.

Okay, attempted to add Bronson's family back, but it would only accept Mom (Renee). May not be accepting Dad (Rueben) because he's divorced and now with Caroline Custard? Not sure. Won't let me add his Sister (Deidre) at all - once adding his Mom there was no option for Sibling any more. There's no option for Half-Siblings, so even if I can get it to work I'm not sure how it will add Tiara.

If you can't add a sibling, can you add the Mom as a parent to Deidre?

And may I ask what this mod was that conflicted with OW? If it was Oniki's KW mod (the only one I can think of that would have such an issue), then I'm sorry to say this but your ongoing game may be corrupt or at least somewhat damaged.

Never heard of Oniki's KW - is it a Mod The Sims mod or somewhere else? Don't know what caused the conflict originally, but decided to just put them back in slowly. It's been taking awhile since I work a lot, but as I said, so far so good.

I checked a couple other games, such as one I have in Twin Brooks - my Sim is married to Shark Racket - his family tree is still in tact. So it could just be my 'Littler' game that is having issues, will fiddle a bit and keep tabs on it. Thanks.

You're welcome. KW mod is a far reaching, very adult themed mod with which much of NRaas is not compatible. It is not from MTS and if you have no idea what I am talking about (which is fine, really!) then you do not have it. It's just the only one I could think of that could be entirely incompatible as described, but we can certainly rule that out now. Glad your other games are working better.
