Yeah, I do have to say I keep my mods and cc to a bare minimum. I use MCCC and Road to Fame, Khitsule's Pointy Ears and that's pretty much it. I do have roBurky's Meaningful Stories in place at the moment, but it worked just fine with the others. At least, it knows how to place nice. LOL The only thing that wasn't quite working well was that other mod. This after I removed the latest installed mods, one at a time, to see which one was the culprit. I had a total of five mods, maximum. (Compared to the 20+ NRaas, Industries mods I needed just to stabilize Sims3).
Unfortunately, I didn't get too far into gameplay this morning, before that creepy trait showed up. I was attempting to set the Road to Fame mod, as it allows you to enable or disable certain aspects of it. I can turn off, for instance, Erik's reaction to other celebrities. I know that totally bugs some players. Sounds as if Sacrificial has given that some heed and made a way for us to turn it off. Some of the interactions are a bit obscure. I'm guessing English isn't his first language. I'm thinking I'm allowing something, only to discover when I check his traits, that I've inadvertently excluded Erik from what I wanted for him. Face/palm. It was in doing this check that I saw the dreaded Reaper's Scythe. Before I scrap this game save I will cheat him up just to see if he can hold a live concert, being a teen. If he can I will have to realize whatever the trait may mean, it's not necessarily a bad thing as I suspected. If he can't, I'll throw out the save entirely, start another brand new save using the lone Erik to create his parents, and from there create his siblings from their parents. I may just see what happens before I do all of that, if I adjust the RTF interactions on a sibling or two, just for fun. That might tell me a great deal.
There has to be some kind of a file somewhere that keeps writing that trait to your sim, even though you have removed the mod that generates it.
Problem is, as I was experimenting, again today, I noticed that the Road to Fame mod is the one giving that trait! There is a way to set that mod to how you wish it to perform: enable Get Famous Celebrity System; enable Road to Fame Celebrity System; allow to be noticed; allow to spawn Obsessed fans; enable paparazzi; et cettera. You can also select an option to keep your Sim from reacting to other celebrities. When I go to click on enable Road to Fame Celebrity System, the Sim that is active is given said Trait. :open_mouth: I was wrong to think it was the other mod. I have used RTF for quite some time and am very shocked and surprised to see this trait. I had never seen it prior to using the other mod, so you can perhaps understand how it's origin was misunderstood. It doesn't give an explanation, just says it's a Personality Trait. :'( What, does it mean he's going to make a killing in the entertainment field? I'm lost. But since I did that little experiment, I rolled back the game save and just picked up from there. Unless something goes terribly awry, I'm just not going to worry about this strange, creepy trait. LOL
