Kayak routing bug in Gibbi Point (Adventure Awaits)

Hello EA team and Simmers,

I would like to report a recurring game bug related to the kayak system in Gibbi Point from the Adventure Awaits DLC.

I am consistently getting the following error:

Exception in prepare_gen for super interaction

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'can_transition_over_node'

CategoryID: vehicle_liabilities:307

Demon Kayaks

I tested this with only MCCC and Better Exceptions installed, and the issue still happens, which strongly indicates this is a vanilla game bug and not a mod conflict.

The error always occurs when Sims (usually NPCs) attempt to use kayaks around Gibbi Point. This area has shallow water, uneven terrain, and narrow coastal routing, which appears to break the kayak pathfinding system. The game fails to generate a valid transition node for the kayak, resulting in this exception.

Even when the player does not use kayaks, NPCs will autonomously try to route to them, triggering the error repeatedly.

Better Exceptions support confirmed this is a known game bug related to kayak routing in invalid or obstructed locations, not caused by mods.

Game version: 1.120.140.1020 (latest public release)

Thank you.

  • ExpectedTrout​ Since you have Better Exceptions and MCCC installed, we can't confirm that it's a game bug for the purposes of Bug Reports. It doesn't matter what the mods are, you still have mods. Please rename the Mods folder, delete the localthumbcache file, and see if the issue still occurs.

    Thank you for the response.
    I would like to clarify that the game runs fine without any crashes, and the only issue I experience is the repeated notifications Last Exception from Better Exceptions and MCCC when playing around Gibbi Point.

    If I remove these two mods, the reports no longer appear and I can play without the Last Exception notifications, which confirms the issue is only related to error reporting and not gameplay stability.

    As advised by Better Exceptions support, I will ignore this Last Exception.

    Apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your time. :)
