As with other posters I started to get Kama Simtra skill issues with version 1.38. However, my problem is that it is being completely dropped from the game. It isn't just that the notches go to zero, or skill points go to 1 or -1, the kama simtra skill isn't even listed on the skill list for the master controller no matter what age I test it on (T/YA/A/E).

I only use twallan mods and they, and the game, are all current and up to date. I am not having an issue with any of the other mods and woohooer itself is running fine; it's just that 9 times out of 10 when I start the game the KS skill is gone. The mod still shows in the right folder as well as the list before loading a game.

The only way I seem to be able to get it back is to reinstall the KS mod and reload the game. It gets annoying because each time I do that it gets completely reset so all the levels, etc.

Any idea how to stop it from dropping at load? It doesn't matter if the cache files are deleted before loading the game or not.

Yes a couple of users have reported a similar issue.

That's oddly reassuring in a regrettable sense of the word.

So I take it that to date there is not yet a viable work-around or fix then.

Haven't reproduced the issue myself, so I don't really have any solutions at the moment.

Wish I could give you an idea on how to reproduce it but I have no idea what the trigger is. All I know is that for about three days or so after the lastest patch it worked fine then one load it was gone.

Though, the last time it happened I had just loaded the game but got called away so I didn't save before exiting the game, and yes, I double checked the KS skill was working at that load. When I was able to reload that save the KS skill was gone. I don't do this very often so it wasn't the original problem but possibly a trigger with the last patch maybe?

Oh yeah, that's right --> ::thread:: <-- *grabing*.

I have found that by deleting the cache files then redownloading the KS mod (I just redownload, it's faster for me than moding and replacing) the skill is there. Even if I load a game where the KS is dropped, so long as I quit the game before saving and do those steps then the next time I load the same save file the KS skill is back without having dropped any skill points.

yay typos. Meant to type that redownloading is faster for me than moVing and replacing the file.

namegani and anyone else who have problems with the kamasimtra disappearing:

Temporary fix that works and an observation:

The only file needing removal to restore the appearance of missing skills from save file is scriptcache.package (I have observed that any time this file is larger than 1K in size, kamasimtra disappears on load, until you exit w/o save and remove that file. Then it will load and all kama simtra data will be loaded correctly from the save file)

twallan: to recreate this you would have to disable the program that clears the cache files each time and load the game a couple of times to observe the contents of scriptcache package when KS disappears. I still haven't found a way to decipher what data is actually stored there when it occurs.

Guessing that won't be a high priority since it's a common bug that affects almost all custom skills, and the quickfix is the clearing the cache files.)

On a side note, i really haven't tried recreating this error yet since updating to the 1.42 compatible KS.

Thanks Wolffe.
I have the same problem and used to delete all the cache files and reinstall kama Simtra before I loaded the game. Just having to delete one files makes it alot easier.
