[FIXED] [CL] Festival objects spawning into each other and being stuck

@paradiseplanet27 is this a new save you started after c&d or an older one ? Does it also occur on a new save (for testing purposes)

If you can reproducibly make it happen on that save, would you be willing to share your save with QA ?

I also know that I never had this problem with the festivals in my game until after I installed Cats and Dogs, ironically putting this known issue back in and onto my game when I once again did not have the issue myself.

Long-time lurker here. 🙂 This is a probably a shot in the dark, but could it be that the code in the "Cats and Dogs" addon may be OLDER (as of whenever it went Gold) than the patch itself, causing a regression? 🤔   (I don't have "Cats and Dogs" [yet], BTW.)

this is on my first game save when I first started playing the game. Back then I had no issues with festivals merging into each other when I first installed City Living and I didn't encounter the issue until after I installed Cats & Dogs. I'm currently playtesting a brand new save to test if the festivals still merge there but it will take some time to wait on the festivals but if the problem persists there too I'd be willing to share my save.

I see. Hopefully this can be quashed again. 🙂 (I've never had the bug, but I followed the workaround advice.)

Added this back for now but haven't seen a lot of reports or can reproduce

@paradiseplanet27 Do you have a save where it reproducibly happens ?

From what I've seen it's appeared on my first ever game save, the one where I have Cats & Dogs already downloaded and not on older saves where the EP hadn't existed in my game. I did finally encounter someone on the Sims forums that has the same exact issue but can't direct them to this report; perhaps you can?

Really? Interesting...why can't you direct them here? Not enough posts?

ADDENUM: Also, how exactly are older saves unaffected?

Not enough posts yes

And for the unaffected saves, it's really a matter of pure speculation on my end: before the new EP was downloaded into my game (since I preordered), I made two copies of my first save game, one before the new expansion was downloaded and one made after. The old copy of my first game is updated to just after the Nov 9 patch and I have not entered it since, hence the speculation. I do have two other saves apart from those two, but one is the test save used for testing this issue and another is an old save also from before Cats & Dogs; I can also test those saves too not to leave out any conclusions.

You probably should. Just make sure to back them up somewhere safe first. 🙂
