[AA] [HR] Horses not able to find food by themselves on Custom Venues

After sendings my Sims in a getaway in a custom venue and bringing their horse, I noticed that they were not able to find valid food resources by themselves, this does not seem to happen in any other lot type even if a getaway is active. 

After taking a look at the code, I realized that any test involving object_criteria is simply broken at Custom Venues. From autonomousobjectpickerinteractions for horse eating no longer working due to the object_criteria test checking if the food items are full enough to allow horses to survive, to any interactions having object_criteria tests auto failing.

 

 Is this specific to lots in chestnut ridge or any lot with an animal feeder ? It happens in any custom venue even outside of Chesnut Ridge

  • Please post the complete LastException your getting. Open the file in a text editor and copy/paste the whole thing.

    What happens visually in your game ? What are you trying to do when this occurs ?

  • Hi Crinrict! This is not something that causes LEs but could potentially affect a lot of interactions, for example, Horses starve in this lots because they are not able to find things to eat. 

    The eat activity has autonomous interactions making horses eat (this is just one example of what this test being broken affects, there's a bunch more stuff that will be borked if it uses that specific testing tunable) but it has an object_criteria test to see if the food objects are full or not. but the test AUTO fails no matter what it tests on custom venues only, resulting in horses going hungry and starving!

    Could you please rephrase your original post ? Try not to use to much code language. Just explain in plain english what happens. If you want to add code as well, you can do that too but keep in mind not everyone understands what you are saying.

    You can edit your post by clicking on the cogwheel in the upper right corner.

    Also: Is this specific to lots in chestnut ridge or any lot with an animal feeder ?

  • Please let me know if this is good enough! It only happens in custom venues anywhere.
