Re: [GTW] Active Careers: Error Code: 102:<various Numbers>

@crinrictI figured out a workaround. First my error code changed.. It no longer said 0 any more it said error code: 102:7b7227ed:5bc3f356 & said to restart game. I searched this up & many players said Error code 102 is related to Mods/CC. I do not use either, and never had. So what was happening was I CAN go to work as a detective, I can play at the police station all I want & at the end of the day I can go home just fine. BUT if I leave the police station to go on Patrol- it will start loading, then suddenly stop & bring me to the worlds map with error code. If I try to go to a crime scence- same thing- loads for a minute then I get the error code & see world map. 1 out of every 12 attempts I will actually make it to the crime scene, I will collect the clues, interview witnesses, if I try to go back to the police station, error code! Stay at crime scene until end of shift- error code. Try to leave early error code. At home there is only one Sim on lot, my Sims wife- if I try to load her at home & leave him at work from world map- error code. I have literally spent 15 hours today trying to figure this out! Welppp.... After disabling ALL neighborhood stories (I had different setting for my households & separate settings for other households, and individualized settings for my most cherished families) after resetting and disabling them ALL, I can now play my detective career normally & travel back and forth from police station to crime scene without it messing up. I've been testing it the past hour and it's been fine so far. I also followed some steps on another post- delete cashes, update/repair through origin. I did all that first- tried my game- still had error codes. I also checked family's inventory, household inventory, refrigerator, toy box & book shelves just to make sure there wasn't anything odd- all seemed well. I also deleted two items off my lot (if it helps) two items my current Sim's mother earned from mixology career- the silver bar & tall lamp that looks like a martini glass.

    @KATHYLEE10893 It depends on the number after. Not all 102s are mod related. Does it matter which lot you load when you get the error or is it always the same one you go on patrol to ?

    Would still be good if you could send me the save game.

    When going on patrol, I never get past the loading screen so I am not sure. But when traveling to crime scene it generates a different lot/scene each time, so I do not think it's lot related. But I am not sure, sorry I know you asked for my save a month ago! Let me boot up my laptop & see what I can do!

    @crinrict I followed your instructions game post #7, I created a Zip file on my desktop. I tried to DM you it and cannot figure it out. I drag the file over, and it does not do anything, Cut-Copy-Paste. Is there a button somewhere to insert or upload a file? I a chose file button below, just tried it and it said "Unsupported extension type."

    Alright thank you. I believe I sent you a copy from before I turned off all stories. Again, I've been at it the past 4 hours. After turning stories off it worked for a little bit, I was able to travel, then began getting error codes. So I started other scenarios. Right now, every morning 30 minutes before Detective career starts I travel to the Oasis Springs park next door, SAVE game, then travel to work, if I save game during my shift then try to travel I receive the error code. So I guess I cannot save during my shift. I have to save before or after. It's working so far. I'll just keep working at it until I can find a usable work-around!

    @KATHYLEE10893 I tried to go on patrol 3 times now and haven't run into any errors so not sure what's going on

    Are you getting any lastException files in your documents folder ? If you currently have any, delete the ones you have and then trigger the error in the game and see if a new one is created.

    This is best so that there aren't any unrelated ones.

    If you get one, please upload

    Interesting! Yes in my EA folder there are several different items with that label. I was not sure what they were so I did not delete them. Is it safe to delete all items with that name? Again, thanks for taking the time to help!!

    @KATHYLEE10893 Yes, they're log files of errors happening. They are interesting for troubleshooting but since you have multiple it's unclear what's relevant for this error. So, delete them and see if the error creates new ones.

    I took a photo of my files. I will try to share it here. I deleted them & loaded my game. Went to work & did not get the chance to leave, because it prompted me to do a whole bunch of work on the computer. At the end of my shift it said +500 to household funds, but would not let Ace leave the lot to go home! Or on patrol or anywhere. At this exact same moment his wife is going into labor. So I switched my control to her. I get an orange Alert that there is a fire in the house, it is an invisible fire in the living room, that I cannot see. Pregnant Sim is freaking out, after it is put out, living room cleaned, I can finally click on Ace's icon & say "bring Ace Here." When I do I get a new notification saying By doing this the current event is interrupted?!? Then Ace returns home, meets his new baby. I check his career panel & it's completely blank. Usually if unemployed  there is a button that says "join a career." I have no idea what's going on with this household. I'm not going to save any of that, I will try to go back to where I left off. Holy moley!!

    @KATHYLEE10893 Yeah, just try again.

    I would need the actual content of the file. You can delete the ones you have.

    I Left without saving, cleared everything, deleted all the files that are safe to delete. Went on to origin hit update, repair. Tried it again. Everything is going smooth this time, I tested patrol, and I tested APB to arrest subject. Seems good so far! Thanks for all the help!

    Unfortunately I received the error code again. And If I hit the stay late button then the Sim cannot leave the police station at all. So I give up on it. I'm guessing it's because before this character was in the detective career there were 2 others (his parents) that worked there, all within this one saved game. And also some characters around town were auto-filled in as positions there. His lifetime is almost up now, so I'm just going to give up on trying to correct it.

    Yes, I gave up on the Detective career. I think it's because I have been in the same save for a long time. I have had different household's join that career over time. 

    Like when I first downloaded that pack, I had a female Sim join the science career, went to the lab, and decorated it with jars of space aliens, 6 generations later, I rejoined the same career with her 6 X grandchild. And all her aliens/space rocks/ gadgets were still there & I could not delete them.

    So I'm guessing it's my own fault for playing in the same saved game for 30 generations. If I start a new game, I'm assuming it would all reset & start over, but I never have.

    @KATHYLEE10893 There are know issues with the detective careers, I don't think it's your save game.

    You don't need to start a new game :D

    Since I wasn't ' able to duplicate, I don't know if you have the same error as others

    There's for example a bug report with a different number than yours: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/GTW-XB1-Error-Code-102-bb5cfad7-when-travelling-as-detective/td-p/11639397 but OP was on console so it's possible that it's the same and just different cause they're on console.

    The stay late also has a thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/GTW-Detective-Stay-late-gets-Sim-stuck-at-work-102-2a2bf122/td-p/10940011 .. Do you remember if that was the same number ?

    First it was saying error code 0 when trying to save, it ended up being related to neighborhood stories or something I believe? 

    Then once in the detective career it was saying error code 102:7b7227ed:5bc3f356

    @KATHYLEE10893 So you didn't get an error when trying to stay late ? You just couldn't leave the lot anymore ? You mentioned that in your post from Mai

    I'm sorry, it's been a few months now & I do not remember. I do remember having errors while trying to travel to or from crime scenes, I could not save at all during my shift, had to save before/after, and if I clicked the 'stay late' button I would be stuck there & could not save or travel home, I had to exit the game.

    @KATHYLEE10893 No problem. I'm pondering to move your posts over to that other travelling issue but wanted to make sure it wasn't better off in the other thread.

    Think it's probably best to just merge it with the travel one.
