Re: Crystal Creations Kit_Bug from the gemology worktable

@LinetteMJ I just looked at your LE (need to read your post later) but that seems to be this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVES-LE-SetAgeProgress/m-p/11709431#M226925

Not sure if it has anything to do with the problem at hand.

I'll get back to you on that after dinner.

EDIT: Do I understand you correctly that it works now on all saves ?

To clarify: Vanilla does simply means removing all thrid-party content you have. Saves and trays are usually fine to leave to test modless. Also exception files without the client data aren't uselss, it's just not possible to tell from them if a game is without mods or not. 

If an issue persists, a clean folder approach is always best though, s if that helped you, that's great.

    Yes, it looks like this type of error on my saved game parts.
    The game started without any problem, but as soon as I go to one or other of the world maps and then the residential land where I go begins to load, I immediately a lastexception file which is created in my user folder.
    I have this happening since the last update to accommodate the Crystal Creations kit, and even more exception files which during my gaming sessions become heavier due to the effect of writing new ones error data noted by the game since the E-patch and the update that followed.


    All residential lots and Sim homes in his residences, and on all world maps, are affected.
    It's as if the game was having difficulty managing certain actions requested by us, as if there was a routing that was not able to flow properly in the reflection of the game itself at the moment, or at the moment. moment of a task to be carried out that we ask the selected Sim, or when we click on an interaction surface leading the Sim to carry out various tasks.
    In all three cases, the game then thinks that an error has occurred and immediately lists the current error in the exceptions file that it has just created.


    And finally, perhaps the gemmology worktable also suffered from this type of error, since it had never been able to be used at home since the addition of this kit to my game. is miraculously unlocked only today during my test in vanilla mode, and this will have made it also functional this work table at the level of my game saves that I used today for the need to test the game again. Game save test without mods then test with mods.
    For me, the game launching a game in vanilla mode, with or without mods, does not create lastexception files. On the other hand, the game launching one of my game part saves will automatically create an exceptions file, and this:
    - whatever the game save,
    - whatever task you ask one of the Sims,
    - or whatever the in-game movement of a Sim towards the residence of one of the other Sims households,
    - or, at home, for the interactions requested on the work table for this crystal Creation kit.


    For all these errors listed in my exception files, I actually see the indication cpp_message.py:107.

    @LinetteMJ I suggest to post in that setage thread for the LE you're getting. This way they known it's still an issue. Think the thread didn't have any traffic in a while (if you haven't done so, I didn't check the bug forum yet)

    @crinrict 

    Yes on this subject the dates of last player interventions are 2022 and 2023.

    I responded yesterday on this subject that you indicated to me in order to be able to compare the errors that were listed by my game, but I neglected to insert the link to be able to view the lastexceptions files recently provided here on this subject here.

    I will insert the link right now   🙂

    I have a question.
    Since the new latest update of the game which added a shopping cart icon to the game interface as well as the E-patch and the update which followed, there is a file named houseDescription-client.package which is newly present in the user folder. And at the same time perhaps some other files linked to this shopping cart on the interface would also be newly present in the game installation folders (but which I have not yet searched for at the moment).
    Could this package (and possibly other related files) influence the game, and thus cause these errors listed by the game over the last few days?
     
     
    I ask this question, because in fact each exception file that is created in the user folder, it is only when I click to go to the residential lot where I want to start playing with the Sims home which there are residents, and the same is also listed with new errors detected by the game and added in addition to the other errors already listed in the exceptions file when I want to visit another of my Sims households with my selected Sim.
    And it doesn't matter the world map where the residential land is located or the place where the selected Sim or the Sim I wish to join is present.
    These errors are listed in the exceptions file as soon as it concerns one of the residential lots or Sims played on one of my saved game parts. And like the game when it is launched from the game part, it is conditioned to take into account any package made available to it in the user folder as well as elsewhere all files present which are also necessary for the display and operation of the game during of each game session, I then wonder if with regard to my saved game parts there would not be a cause and effect link which would exist since the appearance of this new package, and possibly associated with other new linked files located in game installation folders.

    @LinetteMJ That file was introduced with the For Rent patch and is used to store some info on lots. It's a cache file so it will recreate if you delete it. Not sure if outdated info can accumulate there.

    The setage LE predates FR so I don't think they are related.

    I only see this file, and I never saw it after applying the For Rent patch, it has only been present in my user folder for the last few days. Perhaps the game tests I have carried out over the last few days using newly created game parts will have caused this file to appear in the user folder. A bit like a correction for what had been missing for several months in this file.
     
    On the other hand, yes it is used to store information like for cache files, because as soon as I delete it at the same time as the localthumbcache.package file before restarting my game, it is recreated as soon as I launch the game.
     
    Okay, so you don't think it's related to any errors in the game over the last few days.
     
    Thank you for this additional information, I wish you a good evening Crinrict  🙌
