Chat GPT can read last exception files

I just experimented by asking Chat GPT if it can read last exception files and it said it can. It asked me to upload the .txt file and managed to tell me what caused the last exception to pop up. My sim was trying to use a stereo that was inaccessible. 

I'd take the feedback it gives with a grain of salt but this could be useful for a lot of us. Especially for those who don't like having to sign up for Discord and submitting your last exception files to a sometimes less than friendly crowd.

 I'm using the free version of Chat GPT which has a cut off date for its knowledge. It might not take into account new changes but this could be different and your use milage may vary depending on whether you have a paid service or not. 

Hopefully this helps some of you with investigating issues with your game. 


Here's an example of a response it gave me:

"

Your Last Exception report indicates an AttributeError related to a stereo system (objects.electronics.stereo.py). The error suggests that the game is trying to access an object that doesn’t exist ('NoneType' object has no attribute 'state').

 

Possible Causes & Fixes:

  1. Broken or Outdated Mods/CC – Since your game is modded, check if you have any mods related to stereos, music interactions, or general electronics. Try removing those mods and testing the game.
  2. Mod Conflict – If you have multiple mods affecting objects, especially electronics, they might be conflicting. Use the 50/50 method (remove half of your mods, test, then repeat) to narrow it down.
  3. Repair the Game – If you’re playing via Origin or EA App, try repairing the game:
  • Open EA App → Library → Click on The Sims 4 → Manage → Repair.
  1. Clear Cache – Delete the localthumbcache.package file in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4.
  2. Better Exceptions Report – Since you have Better Exceptions v3.13, check if it generated a more detailed report in your mods folder.

 

Try these steps and let me know if the issue persists! 😊
