Can't Transfer Video From Drone..

Jaques collected his drone after he finished recording, but when I took him home so he could transfer it to his video station, it cancels out of his queue. I've tried from his inventory, from the drone itself, and from opening the drone to the recorded footage. It drops from all of them.

I didn't record til the drone was dead. Should I?

  • Never mind, I found the workaround about putting the drone right beside the video station and then sending my sim to the area. It works that way.

    I had this once and it turned out the issue is that the drone (or your Sim if it's in his or her inventory) is too far from the video station.
    To be sure it works, put the drone in your inventory, then click on the chair at the video station and say "Sit". After your Sim sits down, try again.

    It is apparently especially common if the Sim is upstairs / downstairs from the video editing station.
  • Thanks! I'll try the sit option next time with it in his inventory. I did get it to work using Crinrict's workaround.

    ETA: I'll just pretend HIS paranoia got the better of him and he thought the MIB agent maybe had a way to erase his footage and render his drone useless. Or something. lol
