StoryProgression Inactive Write Novel issues

Post by misha66 » January 12th, 2014, 6:09 pm

Lately, I suspect after having updated to 1.63, I have been getting regular Script Errors on inactives trying to write a novel. I've uploaded the Script Error file.

Anybody else seen this?

A few thoughts, as I don't recall having ever seen that error prior to updating/upgrading. First off, though, I added UL and IP at pretty much the same time as upgrading to 1.63, so which one, if any, is the true culprit I can't say for sure.

I have been thinking about it, however. A few things: The inactives affected are obviously in the Writer career. Also, I noticed after I got UL that when my active goes a-writing, he gets the "Sports Book" as an option even though he's in no way qualified for it (not in athletic career track). I tried writing one anyways and it just cancelled. I'm wondering if that's what's going wrong with the inactives as well, as it would fit with how I read the Script Error file. As in: They're randomly choosing a book genre that's not available to them.

Thoughts?

Hmm. Several things could be up here but from a glance it looks like your book titles are missing. Do you have any Books tuning mods?

Chain, you're a bloody genius! :-)

I was about to say no, but then I went over my list a second time and found an oooold books.package file of Sims_MX's (MTS) that I got back in the day because EA had borked up the skill books as well. And it worked fine, right up until after 1.50 when a whole bunch of new books got added.

But I had completely forgotten about it until you mentioned the possibility. I've killed it and will see if the error happens again after that.

I never would have thought it was titles it was randomizing. I thought it was genres. I really must learn how to read that syntax better :-)

The House that Twallan Built strikes again! Thanks, Chain!
