Unable to correct showtime bug with MC

Post by Satanu Reeves » March 24th, 2019, 10:43 pm

Can someone help me please? I'm trying to fix the Showtime items duplicating bug. I found a thread that claims the below fixes it.

NRaas > MC > Sim > Intermediate > Career >Choose Job to get the job back
NRaas > MC > Sim > Intermediate > Career >Level>Active Sim to assign Sim a job level
NRaas > MC > Sim > Intermediate > Career >Job Performance>Active Sim to reestablish job performance
NRaas > MC > Sim > Intermediate > Career >Bonus>Active Sim Add the simoleon amount to increase his salary to what it was (or more!!)

I am unable to follow the underlined last instruction. Error is "There are no sims matching all the criteria."

I'm unable to understand it myself. The Bonus command is, I believe, intended for sims who earn an hourly wage in their careers to give them a raise over the standard amount for their job level. Do Showtime performers earn an hourly wage? What does it say in the slot for that data on MC > Sim > Status > Career?

Hello Igazor, thank you for for responding so fast. I think the information in that thread I found is just incorrect. Or maybe I missed something. It's this thread. I thought I was going to need to fix my weekly stipend which I misunderstood as being in this category of bonus. The last step wasn't necessary, It was fixed when I fixed the job level. This did not however fix the items duplicating bug. Showtime items (box of danger and box of mystery) duplicate every time I load the game.

Okay, reading that thread in context I see the advice that bararat was giving was general for any sim who needs to be re-established in their career. The last step would not apply to those who do not earn an hourly wage.

Looks like it's fixed. I needed to save and exit in between quitting and getting my job back.

Looks like this will need to be repeated each time I travel. Maybe if I set “Treat as vacation = false” in traveler that might fix it? Just a guess, will have to try it later tonight.

Nvm, silly me I broke it again by forgetting to remove the showtime objects. The posted solution in that thread fixed one save. But the second time I broke it the problem became permanent. Oh well, I have one working save.
