Voodoo Doll Not Working

Hey guys. I did a search for this but could not find anything.
I'm having an issue with the Voodoo doll.

I seem to be able to bind the doll ( I get the message saying it's bound) but then it will not preform any of the actions. I click on an action and it shows up in the left hand corner but then nothing happens.

Does anyone know if there is a work around for this ? I have both the spell book and the FOY do I need to get rid of one of those for this to work ?

Cheers for any help you can give me, the voodoo doll is the one thing I was really really excited about. :(

Oh, I forgot to mention that my game is up to date with patches and both the crystal ball and the cauldron work.
  • What is not working because I know someone had a fix for the magic stuff because I think the FOY conflicts with the magic stuff.
  • Thanks pepperjax, the doll will not do anything other then bind to a sim. It binds but no further actions are possible. I can click on them and they line up, but then nothing happens. I've found Cupcakestastelikeviolence conflict fix, and have just put it in game. I'll go in soon and see if this helps.
  • Hi ! I'm glad to say that I've got it working. The fix from Cupcakestastelikeviolence didn't help me as it seemed more like a bug then a conflict and I was about to write the whole thing off.

    Then I remember that I had this same issue a while back with my sims not being able to play the guitar. They'd get it out, they'd chose the song to play then the action would get canceled. But it only happened in one game.

    So, it dawned on me to test the doll in another game in a different world ( Yes, I am that slow as to only think of it :) ) and sure enough the doll works !!! I had to restart my current game with the Sim I wanted to play and the doll worked there as well.

    Thank you everyone who tried to help or tried to cheer me up or both. :)

  • I have a different problem with the voodoo Doll. When I try and bind it, it only shows my sim's husband. she has 2 enemies, and plenty of acquaintances, but I don't see them when I try and bind the doll. :/
