Sauna Woohoo

Post by namegani » December 21st, 2013, 12:39 am

Posting here because I feel I might actually get some answers that make sense (as opposed to the official website since I am not sure if it is a woohooer issue or just EA being stupid again).

I just added a sauna to the property on a vacation home in France and when I go to use it, the sims freeze right after the make-out session before heading to the sauna. Resetting the sauna doesn't break the action, using the 'resetsim *; does nothing for the two caught in the freeze, using debugEnabler doesn't fix it, resetting the sims through MC/Advanced/Resetsim does, but does the exact same thing the next go 'round.

What I found when looking for a solution was all conflicts with the fiesta pack and the deep fryer, etc. (which I do not have)... and it does not include anything about straight up not moving but build/buy glitches.

Aaaand, while I was typing this out I was trying to have them sit in the sauna first and they froze while the world turns around them. I thought Woohooer because I was trying to use that interaction when it caused the couple to freeze. I know they can sit in it autonomously as one of them just hauled their dinner into the sauna instead of sitting at a table or counter (werewolf with the childish trait, he seems to do strange things some times); but when directed they freeze.

I am not getting any error / ErrorTrap notices so I am really just grasping at straws. For all I know it could just be that I put it in a vacation world.

Any suggestions on what to try to fix this would be great (and yes I clean my caches after exiting the game every time).

On a lark I figured I would try to replace the sauna and see if that did anything.

I was able to get them to do the other interactions other than "sit" and "sauna woohoo" and it worked fine. Yet they still freeze solid while the household runs around just fine when using the "sauna woohoo" interaction.

I do not know if this is a standard issue for my game of if it is just the vacation world (they just got married and immediately made a wolf pack [literally, triplet occult hybrids, all of them werewolf base] so not a lot of time to try it on the home lot [the triplets are toddlers so they did not come with]) if that makes a difference.

I know it is the holidays and am not really expecting a quick response - as personally my residence will soon be overrun by technophobes who have a freak out and lecture me on how my computer will rot my brain if they catch me playing solitaire, let alone something that is an actual game...

This is a known issue with Woohooer, acknowledged by Twallan I think right before he went on vacation. The best thing for now is to disallow the sauna as a woohoo location until he returns and develops a fix for it.

Is this actually a problem with the base mod of Woohooer or just the Sauna module? I've read several of the reports on this issue but haven't encountered it myself yet. But I don't have the Sauna module installed, just the base Woohooer. The only thing I've noticed is that there's something slightly off with the motives calculation: Sauna Woohoo doesn't raise fun during woohoo but maxes it after the woohoo has ended.

Good question. As I understand it, without the Sauna module you would be running EA's version of a whoohoo instead of the Woohooer mod's version. Therefore, I would expect very different behavior such as no KS skill points or location credit awarded, no payment if either is a professional, and the fun/moodlets to be handled differently as you noted.

Huh, I looked to see if I could find the issue addressed anywhere but did not see anything. But it was right before I went to bed after a long day and could have easily missed it.

I will go ahead and disallow the location and keep an eye out for an update some time next year.

Yay, I'm not crazy! Er... crazier... everybody's got a little bit of crazy.

If you do a search on "Sauna" using the box in the upper left corner of this page, you should find a bunch of relevant message threads from a week or two ago.
