I have not used custom careers! I actually disallow script mods and I only have CC.... I know that's not saying the CC could not have caused it, but I've only ever added .package or .zip files to the game.
I just tried those following steps (with the mods folder still on my desktop and not in-game) and I received the error, went back into the household, and just received the same error again.
yes!!! The game failed WHILE i was attempting to return to the police station from being out on a "case". It was also the same day I had given my sim that career.
I can get to the map. I evicted them, then re-moved them back in. It did indeed get him out of work, I hovered over his pfp and it said "at home" instead of being at the case like he previously was. However, every time I try to go into the household, I still get the error. I also still get the error as soon as I enter the save.
I tried entering a random townie family, and it does allow me to play. Does this mean that the family itself is corrupted? If I should I just give up on, and delete them, do you think it would help?
it's already like a four generation legacy and the first servo I've ever made so I don't really want to do that but it may have to be done XD
@SketchyMonster If you can load other families, try if you can invite him over (choose a family that knows the detective). that has helped in the past.
Otherwise do you have any backups ?
It did help!! I no longer receive the error and now I can play as my family again. Thank you so so much! I see why the forum calls you a sims hero :D
one question: is this commonly an issue in the detective career? Should I make him quit/not use this career in the future to avoid issues? Because of removing my CC my characters and houses are all messed up and half-empty now, so I'd prefer to avoid the issue in the future.
@SketchyMonster I really don't know what's causing it but I would make sure to keep regular backups and don't quit the game while at the career. Finish the day, go home, then save and quit.
Thank you so much for everything, really appreciate it.
