Help with LE File

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is okay to share, but wanted to ask if anyone knows how to read LEs. I had a ton of issues crop with while playing a household last night--specifically one of the infants just would not sleep in his crib even with his sleep meter all the way down--and when I checked my sims folder to see if there was an LE there was a new one that was fairly long. I did try the last exceptions reader, but it came back with a ton of 'unknown errors' which has consistently been my issue with that particular tool.

If anyone would be willing to help me, that would be amazing! Thanks!

    The error isn't unknown in the LE it's unknown by the LE reader website. I believe that means the website is just not updated for newer packs. I own all the EPs and am only missing some GPs, SPs, and about 20-some odd kits.

    As stated in the tags, I do not have mods for this save file.

    Should have mentioned I do use mods sometimes but not currently because I'm in school and cannot keep up with updating mods, so I am familiar with MCCC and Better Exceptions. I don't have mods currently active in my game, so was hoping there might be another way to make sense of the LEs I'm getting.

    I downloaded those mods direct from the creators as I do not use CF, so I do have them just don't have mods on and this save file has never had mods in it.

I don't have mods currently active in my game and mods/cc have never touched this save file, so was hoping there might be another way to make sense of the LEs I'm getting.

    Thank you though! 

  • Unknown errors means you don't have all expansion packs I had that same problem it was cause by me not haven't certain expansion packs

  • SeaFoamSim9​  Another mod that will give you something more readable than the game LE file is MCCC.  That will give you a LE file that is more readable. 

    Keep in mind that any mod will be giving you its best guess and is not always 100% accurate.     None of them are perfect as you already found out with the one you are currently using.  Sometimes it helps to run several when you have an issue to compare results to help narrow down the issue.

    Hope this helps.

    I know you tagged never CC or Mods, but you should check out better exceptions by TwistedMexi -I have it installed from curseforge. 

    If you get a LE popup, or update the game, it will popup on your screen like an event popup, asking if you want to do a scan. It will scan your game and tell you exactly what's broken in a new web browser tab. I find it extremely useful as i also struggle reading them.

    i would attach photos of my better exception, but it wont let me post this with the photos.

    Hope this helps!
