I'm Coming Undone

Ever since the latest patch and the installation of IL, my Sim has been 'attacked' or targeted for death by the game. I've tried rolling back a couple of saves, and then finally made a copy of my Back-up saves folder to carry forward from there. He's died twice, Hysterical, and went Hysterical a third time, this is when I switched my saves files. Up until now, things were okay. But I'll be danged if he hasn't gone Hysterical again. I attempted to remove the buff via MCCC, but he's got a lot of playful things that stack up. Before I could send him to his concert, however, hoping a change of scene would do him good, the game froze. Not only that but the Road to fame menu failed to show up. I did experience a computer crash when I was playing my game, last. So, I am now 'repairing' the game in the hopes things will be okay. I may have to uninstall RTF to replace it, just in case the crash did something.

This is causing me a great deal of grief and vexation. I don't like to be one to complain, but if I don't vent, it could be harmful to my health. I have already made up my mind that should Erik die again, I would throw out the old Cantrell saves and start anew. I'm sick to death of this. It's one thing to have a random death and it's quite another when it appears my favorite Sim has a target on his back.

As such I'm not enjoying Island Living at all. I do blame what I am hoping is a glitch/bug on this EP. Somebody, please, talk me off of this wall!

There is a 50x50 lot that is crashing for a lot of simmers. I dont know if this is why your game is crashing or its cause of your mods.

I'm not playing in Sulani, if that's what you mean. Besides, the last time it was my computer that crashed, not the game. That's a whole other ball of wax. But, thanks for the heads up. I'm truly disappointed in Island Living on the whole. I may just use the objects and the Off the Grid trait and very little else.

It's not my mods, as they are up-to-date. :)

I feel your pain. I have been following your progress/setbacks with your Rock Star Sim, and I don't blame you for being upset. I don't use the RTF mod you are using but my game is also a glitchy mess even when I play a vanilla save file. I remember your hubby bought that PC for you as an anniversary gift. And maybe my memory is way off, but that wasn't all that long ago. So the fault here is with Island Living itself because there are many Simmers complaining about random crashes. I am playing the game on a six month old gaming PC yet I am having more problems while playing Island Living on my desktop than I do while playing it on my laptop. Which doesn't make much sense to me. I went so far as to uninstall Sims4 after backing up the important game files, then did a fresh installation. Doing that did get rid of a few smaller glitches. After repairing your game do you restart your PC? I have found restarting your PC after repairing helps. Don't understand why, but it does help. The other concern I have is this is happening with the same Sim. Do the crashes happen during a certain interaction, event, or while certain Sims are on the lot? When City Living was released I lost an older save because it became corrupted for some unknown reason. I had just two mods in my game back then and didn't play until those were updated. Island Living has impacted a lot of the features from past packs. Do you use the UI Cheats Extensions mod? I have been using it along with MCCC for a couple of years. I use it mainly to cancel out those bothersome moodlets so my Sims don't die because they're too happy, or too playful, etc. I also hate seeing their facial expressions change every few seconds. LOL

Hang in there. I am trying to sort through a long list of bugs myself and I know how frustrating it is. Hopefully the devs will have a hot fix patch for us later this week. :)

UPDATE: It's not the Immortal status you need. I just checked in with the MCCC Help Thread. This is what's required. Go through the computer and select MC Tuner>Change Interaction Behavior> Allow Emotional Deaths and select disable. That way you don't have to worry about your Sims' family growing up without them. :)

I am very happy to report that after replacing Origin not once, but twice (had to do it again today) my game is repaired with all pack installed. Yay! Erik has made an additional §15000 and his identical twin nephews are now toddlers. Yay. I have disabled emotional deaths, but am very glad to have experienced them, almost five in total. :open_mouth: There is such a thing as enough is too much. ;)

My heartfelt thanks to all of you who responded lending your support and advice. Going back in game, now. :)

I’m here to commiserate a bit. Of course it’s nice to be able to revert back to an earlier save, but when you have to do it repeatedly in the same part, everything mushes together in my memory and it drives me crazy when I can’t remember which version happened! The last time I had to do this, I had adopted the CUTEST, friendliest, most low-maintenance kitten EVER. And he’s gone into the abyss now because I had to redo that save. I was heartbroken when I realized this. In the newest save, I got what grew up to be a hairless cat. But worse, the cat’s personality just isn’t as great.

I’m glad you are back on track and have the hysteria in check. May we continue making the best of Island Living.

I'm sitting here wondering why I traded out one copy of my Grayson Castle for another. The very latest one had a green house I built very recently. Guess I shall just have to break out my hammer, nails and wall board and do it again! Yikes. Sorry about the loss of a good cat. I created another Sim for Erik, and now I'm wondering if she's gone, too. Happily, I didn't consign the other saves folder to oblivion — At least I don't think so … It just takes a series of days, each complete with their own mishaps to make a person start to doubt what they did, when. LOL I think I'm there. Of course, where my game picked up, he's still going with his high school sweetheart, so we'll see if that lasts. Prior to the patch, he finally asked her to 'just be friends'. The adoration of his fans was getting to her too much. I think he felt bad for her.
