Young again after travel

Post by Kukko69 » September 6th, 2019, 8:37 am

My sim was about half away into his young adult stage when I sent him to travel France. Upon his return back home, I noticed his age parameter gone back to beginning, hence he got a lot younger. Why this happened and can I revert it somehow? I have plans for him to travel to France many times more and maybe eventually move there, but it isn't funny if he never ages due to always getting "years back" from his travels...

Have to say I have never experienced this. I have seen sims duplicate upon being moved to a new (to them) world and Overwatch removes the "wrong" duplicate once detected, but that doesn't happen with the actively being played sim. Do you have Traveler in play? We do know that bringing sims into the EA version of CAS will randomize their age within their current age stage as per EA standard; is MC Integration not in play as well to help prevent that?

If all else is fine with the sim except for their exact age within their current age stage, you could adjust that age with MasterController (MC Cheats required) to put them back at the exact age they had when they left home.

Yes, Traveler is in play and actually this was the first time having my sim travel when that mod is in use - ageing backwards has never happened before... I have MC, also, but never touched an option regarding Integration. If it's set correctly by default, then yes. But thanks, with MC I can (unfortunate for him, perhaps) give him his missing years back :-)

There was another issue possibly related: this same sim had a wish "Travel France" with +15,000 lifetime reward points. I locked it and, as said, he went to France, but didn't earn the points. The wish had vanished (I didn't notice when that happened, possibly right after the France world loaded) but when I checked his points, he still got the around 8000 points he had before travelling. ??

Sounds to me like something minor went wrong with the travel transition. Did this sim have any other locked wishes that got lost or was it just the one at the time? This doesn't typically happen.

MC Integration is an add-on module, it has no options of its own. It extends the MC version of CAS and its subsets (Plan Outfit, Change Appearance, the stylist station interface) onto the in-game and testingcheats versions of these things.

Dunno about minor... after further investigation it seems that the Eiffel Tower has vanished, also. That's more like a major problem to me ;) I skied the map from side to side and nope, couldn't find it. An object that big is not easy to hide. I just added the New Eiffel Tower mod into my game (after discovering the missing tower) but I'm yet to test it out if it brings the tower back.

I haven't noticed issues with other wishes, though it is possible.

Be aware of the french, I'd say.
