Issue with old saves and mods that involve interactions or edited needs?
My knowledge of the python scripts for this game is really limited and I've got no idea where this issue might be coming from, so I figured I'd ask some of you who I know are more familiar with python (or just know the game in general... SimGuruModSquad :P) and see if you have any thoughts on it, or if you're into technical things, you might find it an interesting problem.

The long and short of it is, with the new patch, old saves that had Sorcerers in them from my mod are getting a lastexception error like this:
The most important part seems to be the:
At first, I thought it was an issue with the scripts themselves. They use an injector to add new interactions and code like this:
Never had issues with it prior to the patch, but I thought maybe it was something related to it. Weird thing is, if I make a NEW save (post-patch) and make my sim into a Sorcerer, per the mod's parameters, that save doesn't seem to have any issues. I can save it and load it as if this issue never existed. It only seems to be pre-patch saves that are affected.
For now, I came up with a workaround, which is essentially to remove the mod and then save a copy of the now Sorcerer-free save, so that it can be loaded cleanly with the Sorcerer mod installed, without losing what else it has and then Sorcerer stuff can be re-added in that same save.
But I don't know if that's a workaround that will last and if for no other reason than the sheer knowing of it, I want to understand why something like this happened.
I mean, the old saves load fine if the mod is not installed, new saves load fine with it installed. So it seems like it's gotta be something in the save information itself that conflicts with a way in which the game was changed. But why would my mod specifically have some kind of information saved that conflicts? Information that only causes a problem when the mod is installed and only on saves prior to the patch?
I just spent hours trying to narrow down where the load issue is, so my brain is a bit fried. Could be I'm overthinking this. Doesn't make a lot of sense atm though.
