Re: [OPEN] [GTW] Cloning Machine doesn't clone base traits
So far, none of the others on that site have had time for a full test of the issue, they've only given me advice based off my own diagnosis. Since December 2016, only 3 people have reported the issue regarding Clones. As I said, storywise, it's a fairly hard stretch to make your character need a FULL BODY clone(A baby clone is one thing, but a fully grown replicant...). As such, this could have been going on forever, and the only reason it was discovered in this instance was because my Sim was a mad scientist, who wanted lab assistants, free nannies, butlers, whatnot. For most Sims, even if this error occurred, it wouldn't be worth pursuing. Because most Sims aren't quite on the level of insanity mine was. Meaning, if the clones didn't work, most people would just make due without Clones. I am still going to attempt to remake my character, and then make the Clones. However, I'm going to try to add traits via Console.
Like I said, I've done all the testing I really can think of, even up to a completely clean install. At this point, my best bet is to wait for Simgurunick, hope he has the time for this, and hope he can figure it out. With any luck, it's a simple issue, that EA can fix quickly, or if on my end, he can figure out from my steps where the hole in my troubleshooting is.
Good news! Well kind of. I got EA to escalate the issue to their Level 2 support! Mainly by harassing them until they did so, and refusing to create a new Windows Admin Account JUST to fix THIS(Like taking an Elephant Rifle deer hunting... If this issue is involving some sort of rogue file on my Windows Account, the solution is FINDING WHAT FILE, not starting from scratch). I'd assume that this will lead to definite answers. If so, I will report here what they say.
