Re: [ARCHIVED] Write Song / Book / Lyrics Loses Progress

It’s been over a year and this is still a ridiculously time consuming bug. I will have a literal party when it’s fixed.

    Was this issue addressed by yesterday's patch?

    I experienced this bug in my legacy save and although I haven't tested it there yet (still to afraid to play this save after the patch) I just tried it out with another save and at least writing a song on guitar did work for me finally! I made Malcolm Landgraab write a song on guitar with some breaks and after each break the progress bar updated to where it was before and after roughly 12h he finished the song. So at least this part of the feature seems fine to me now.

    @flauschtrud Did you travel in between ? I started writing a book, then resumed (it was fine), then traveled and came back and it had reset.

    I was having so many Last Exception Errors that I went back to a April 18, 2023 Save file and have restarted my game.  The only script files I have is MCCC and Better Exceptions.  I have added a few custom content hairs, clothes and furniture.

    In testing:  write books:  my Sim had writing skill 9, so he wrote a book in 2 hours and I forgot to travel to see what would happen.

    My 2nd test was with write song:  my Sim had guitar skill 8, so he wrote for 3 hours, stopped for 1 1/2 hours doing other things.  When he came back the song was at the same place when he left.  He wrote on his guitar for an additional 1 1/2 hours for 4 1/2 hours total and the song was 1/2 finished.  Then I traveled to San Myshuno and when I returned to write more song at the guitar, it was back to the beginning.  I had seen that someone suggested to reset object.  I reset the guitar, nothing changed.  I also reset the Sim and nothing changed.  The song was back at the beginning.

    So in my opinion, nothing has changed since the December update.  Also I do not own the For Rent pack.
