Re: No paparazzi showing up

@JonaO703

This was indeed the issue! I did find something weird tho. I will first tell you what I did:

- Move mods folder to desktop

- Remove localthumbcache.package file

- Start a new sims test game without any mods

- Checked to see if the celebrity levels would go up purely by gameplay (they did)

- Typed in “ testingcheats true “ and clicked on my sim to cheat the rest of the levels (Left click on mouse + shift and then clicking on sim, go to Image and cheat the levels up)

- Checked for paparazzi by going to the lounge (They showed up)

- Restarted the game but with mods installed (Paps still showed up)

The last part was weird to me. I think if the paparazzi have spawned in your game without mods and you then add mods they will still be there, but only if there weren’t any mods to begin with.

I then did this:

- Started a 2nd sims test game WITH mods

- Checked for paparazzi (there were none)

- Removed one of my mods files (I have one with normal mods and one with mods I need to keep like MC Command Center and UI Cheats. I removed the keep one)

- Restarted the game and checked for paps (they were there!)

- Put the Keep folder back into the mods folder and removed MCCC from it.

- Started a 3rd test game

- Checked for paparazzi (they were there again!)

MCCC was the issue in my case. I deleted it and redownloaded it but... still no paparazzi. I will contact the creator to let them know about this.

I also made sure to switch lots/lounges each times to make sure there wasn’t any issue with the lots.

I find it odd that MCCC would be causing this by default. I use it and have never had any problems with the paparazzi. It might also not be due to that mod alone. It might be happening because another mod is interacting with it or overriding it. There are some that will do it. A lot of the time, it depends on the order that mods load. And a third thing may be that at some time in the past you changed an option somewhere in it that turned the generation of the paparazzi off. Off the top of my head, I can't think of one that would do that though but it is easy enough to check by moving the "mc_settings.cfg" file to your desktop and running the game without that file. A new one will get created with the default settings but you will have to reset everything else which can be a time consuming process.
Hope this helps.

This was my issue too! For days I’ve been moving mods around trying to see which one is causing the paparazzi to not show and it turns out to be MCCC. I don’t understand either. I tried playing the game with no mods at all and they show up, then I tried playing with just MCCC and they won’t show. But adding back my 300+ mods/cc without MCCC and they show up again. I’m going to try to reach out on discord and see if someone thought of a solution

This happened to me and my mom we thought it could be one mod we took it out to see but the paparazzi still not there so I’m think it could be from a update we had with the sims
