Elder hubby and wife no woohoo?

Post by JohnL83 » February 3rd, 2019, 9:01 am

My elder husband and wife are not getting any options under 'romantic' other than taking a photo together. I've checked my woohoo mod and settings seem normal. I transferred the same settings from the woohoo mod I have in my other two games to this game and my elder couples can woohoo just fine in those games. I'm not sure what is going on here. I did try resetting both characters and still under 'romantic' the only option is to take a romantic photo together.
Yes their liking gate is at 98% so it's not that and both still show up as husband and wife. Any ideas what could be wrong here?

Update: I tried resetting the WooHooer to it's default settings and this couple still cannot do anything but take a romantic photo together so I don't think it's the woohoo mod. But IDK for sure. I can't imagine what else could be wrong though. I allow elders to woohoo and they have and did the last time I played this game.
Also, I tried switching to another elder couple and they had all the woohoo options. Went back to this couple and now they only have photo and skinny dip options. I don't get it!

I had a similar problem with woohoo. I solved it by going to another world game save where everything was fine with woohoo and imported ALL my settings not just Woohoo. Just export the good settings from the other save and import them to the present game. I import all my settings (except SP) with OW but import SP settings through SP. Then save close down the game and reload. See if that makes a difference.

littlelambsy - There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with woohoo for anyone but this couple. I have switched to several other couples in this game and everyone who's of age to woohoo can woohoo. I've tried this with several town couples who are elders and they all got all the options. But for some reason my "main" elder couple never get anything but take photo or skinny dip.

The only difference that I can think of is that her husband came back from the dead via Ambrosia a while back. BUT that was BEFORE I had the woohoo mod installed. (I've only had woohoo for a few days now and out of my 5 games this was the last one I've opened to import the settings, no issues so far in any other games) Now, before the woohoo mod the couple in question actually celebrated the return from the dead by woohooing several times, but I had not tried to get them to mess around in a while that I can remember, so I'm not even sure if it has to do with the woohoo mod or not, since it hasn't seemed to affect anyone but this couple.

I would still export and import the other settings as mentioned above, it can't hurt. Also, try "Fix Homeworld" and if that doesn't work then try resetting either the sims or everything.

Just a thought, but if you've just installed woohoo, check to see that it is NOT linked to SP, change that setting to False.

Sounds like the game locked out some of their Socials try Resetting the sims. Doing a Save AS and reloading sometimes helps.
If that doesn't work you'll need to re-enable their Socials you'll need DebugEnabler click on City Hall, Nraas>DebugEnabler>Options City Hall>Sim>Enable Socials you can remove DebugEnabler after you save.
A note about DebugEnabler it enables some of the games debugging commands don't mess around to much with the commands in there some are fine but there are some that you should leave alone. The Interaction page on site for DebugEnabler seems to be blank it would list which are fine and those that shouldn't be touched so until that gets fixed just use the one I mentioned.

If none of the above works something is interfering possibly another mod.

UPDATE:
Well, I tried all your suggestions to no avail. Thank you though. :huh:

Finally I just exited the game. Took the WooHoo mod out of the folder. Started the game again, picked the same game/town and all of the romantic options were back for this elder couple. So I guess it was the woohoo mod that was interfering with this couple making whoopee. I'm going to try and put the mod back, enter the game again and see what happens. I'm not sure why this was the only couple affected, but I should know by now there seems to be little rhyme or reason to some glitches.

I'm almost sure it has to do with the husband being resurrected. I mean, every single elder couple in that town had romantic options. (yes I tried them all, about 13 of them!) I know when I first brought hubby back to life, before the woohoo mod was installed, I had to marry them again since he was no longer her husband after being reborn. In fact I think when she interacted with his ghost it only said he was her romantic interest. Not sure WTF is up with that, but I've read in other posts about death ceasing many relationships in some way or other. Oh well. If the mod keeps them from intimate relations after re-installing the mod then I just wont worry about it since they are the only ones affect. We can pretend they've just decided to forego sex, they only have about 40 sims days left anyway.

You know that could be. I know that every time I try to use a Genie to resurrect a sim it always errors out resulting in the sims getting reset. It used to work back when Showtime first came out but stopped some time during the later patches which one I don't know as I only tried to use the Genie again last year.

Even though you have already figured out what is most likely to be causing the blockage, if you wish to pursue this a bit further, do this with the game paused and when the two elder sims are in the same room or at least on the same lot.

NRaas > Woohooer > General > Debugging > True

This will enable ALL romantic actions, even those that make no sense for the two sims in question, with the ones that were not previously showing being greyed out and a tooltip popup on mouse hover that gives the official reason why it's being hidden. Some of them will be STC (Short Term Context) Fail, but for the ones that would make sense to show at any time such as Flirt, Compliment Appearance, Give Flowers, Hug Amorously, what do the tooltips say?

Be sure to switch Debugging back to False before actually running the game clock again or else the mod will work overtime generating unnecessary logs for every sim, human and animal, in town and drag game performance down considerably.
