Imaginary Friends Issue

Hello,

I got this pop up in the attachment yesterday. I was in build mode. I found out today that it was a bug related to Imaginay Friends. I do play with mods, but none of them to my knowledge has to to do with imaginary friends. Or it could be another mod that effects this.

Anyway, since I am a rotational player, I wasn't planing on using Imaginary Friends for this household. But there was another household that I played with a few days ago (In the same save), that did.

  • SimSeeker​ The only way to know it isn't mods is to rename the Mods folder, delete localthumbcache, and try again. Mods can have effects that have no apparent relation to their purpose. 

  • I started having the exact same error. I am also a rotational player and after adding an imaginary friend to an household and leave it, i started having this last exception:

    I tried deleting the imaginary friend, removed the household from the lot and added it again. The error continues. I have mods but tried with no mods in a new and an old save. If i add an imaginary friend the error starts.
