[LD] [GT] Party invites for ruins/van haunt take place at graveyard instead

Me, too. My Sims are really confused!

I even had a confused mixologist on the lot! 

After looking for a long time I put the required objects on the lot and the confused mixologist and DJ did their thing.

[edited to add] Better exceptions did pop up as the end of the party to say that there was a 10% chance that the exception was caused by household.py:1273. Hopefully that means something to you. 😉

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.111.102.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every expansion, game pack, and stuff pack except for Dream Home Decorator and High School Years. Only a couple of kits.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play until you get a random phone invitation to a dance party at the Life or Death cemetery lot.
What happens when the bug occurs? All of the correct sims spawn in for a Get Together dance party/rave situation, but there is no DJ booth or bar/mixology table.
What do you expect to see? I expect for the DJ booth or bar to spawn in a free area, like how the Get Together dance party situation works for bars/lounges that don't typically have them (I don't remember which lot type, but there's a default lot in Willow Springs that you can get invited to).
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I've had this happen twice so far. I love the idea of a random party at a cemetery, but it's a bit annoying to have to place down a DJ booth and bar and then delete them after the party is over.

Hi Crinrict! I just got the drama node for this again on a new save, and reading the text for the invite it says that the party is supposed to be at the Chalet. But the location advertised below is the "Cemetery: Eternal Hollow."

I do still think that a rave at a cemetery is very fun/cool, even if might have come about as a bug. 🤔

What's extra funny about this is if I hit "accept", it takes me out of being abducted by aliens. Very nice of the aliens, to drop me off at the cemetery for a dance party! :D

@onemorekayaker OK. Guess I'll merge this with the other thread then .. when I find it :D

NVM. That bug report is only at the new forums: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/ld-gt-party-invites-for-ruinsvan-haunt-take-place-at-graveyard-instead/5026947

In the situation tuning for the dance party drama nodes, they've added cemetery to the list of compatible venues, but I believe that's a mistake because the text in the phone invite clearly says that it should either be at the bluffs, the ruins, the chalet or a nightclub.

It's in the following tuning. Even the names of the tuning suggests it should be at those venues only and not randomly also at cemeteries:

ID 127428 goDancing_ComplexSituation_Club_PartyGoer_ChaletOnly
ID 127427 goDancing_ComplexSituation_Club_PartyGoer_BluffsOnly
ID 127426 goDancing_ComplexSituation_Club_PartyGoer_RuinsOnly
ID 127425 goDancing_ComplexSituation_Club_PartyGoer_NightclubOnly

The default Ravenwood cemetery isn't set up for a dance party - there's no hidden dance floor, bar and DJ booth that spawn in and out off the grid like in the proper Get Together locations.

I was able to get this back to normal by deleting cemetery from the list of compatible venues in the tuning files, so at least this means it should be relatively easy for them to fix.
