Last Exception for degree_tracker

I don't know what is causing this or what affect it has on the game, but I keep getting a lot of last exceptions. I had mods and CC, but the last exceptions continued even after I had removed all of ...

I do not need to do that since I already know exactly which sims are causing the problem. As I already said in my original post, I do not want to lose those sims. Visually.

SO, IF YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL FIX TO GETTING RID OF THE ERRORS, like a way of copying that sim's appearance WITHOUT copying their inventory, relations, traits, buffs, rewards, degree, etc. as a brand new sim, that would be great.

Oh dear, this game is broken. In sims 2 and sims 3 it was so easy to clone a sim and get rid of the old one if something messy like this ever happened. Easy peasy, the game treated copied sim as a brand new sim with zero progress recorded, the errors were gone. I didn't even need to contact anyone for any sort of help during the sims 2 era.

    This is just a replacement for the game management files with new ones. In the game folder, you have files such as Events or clientDB.packages and so on. Your saved sims will stay in the Tray folder and saved games will stay in the saves folder, each you will keep.
    But this is only advice for the future because for now, it looks that you have got the same problem as described in these posts above,

      I'm having the same issue, also their degrees are all from the wrong Universities. Just a thought, I haven't tried this but I might, maybe you're up for it. What about starting the game with University disabled, then saving? I'd back everything up first (saves etc.). Just wondering if that would eliminate the degree tracker entirely. Then potentially re-enabling university may reset those sims.

      Just a thought, as I said I may try it (i'm not just trying to throw someone else into the insane test fire lol). That LE is so annoying. 

      Also, I did read on MCCC discord, a post saying the only way to get rid of it is to use MCCC, kill your sim and have another household member revive them. I tried it but it didn't work for me, I think it's a different sim that may or may not still be in my save.

      Anyway, couple shots in the dark, Good luck, if I try it I'll update this.

        @Byrnie75 I disabled D.U. and started my game. I got a warning, loaded up my main household. It loaded fine, I obviously lost my degrees and anything from the D.U. pack but it wasn't too bad.

        I restarted the game with D.U. enabled. No degree tracker LE. I'm now using the debug cheats to re-add my degrees. I'm on the first one, so far it's good, I've traveled and no L.E.'s. Graduation is in 24 hours, i'm going to bounce around and try to re-trigger an LE, then go to graduation and see if my diploma comes from the correct school. But I think this may have stopped it and cleaned out the crap. Obviously i lost my degrees and some other items but didn't lose anything I can't cheat back. Hope this helps.

    @sovereignsimmer You can do that with MCCC. I've done it to makeover townies before. Generate a random sim, or find a townie, click on them and choose MC CAS, then Copy/Paste, then Paste Tray Sim, find the name of household with the sim in it, then pick the one you want. You'll have the option to past a few thing like traits as well, or just the sim.

      @Byrnie75 I have been asking around even in MCCC's discord server, no one told me that was possible! Thank you, I'll experiment that!

    Can't promise this will work for you, but I was suffering constant Last Exceptions related to the degree tracker as well for a few sims I had used cheats on to graduate immediately after their semesters had started. I deleted the households who I had cheated with and the last exception went away, but if I re-imported them back from the gallery it came back. I ultimately managed to resolve the issue for my sims with the following:

    - Shuffle all of the sims who I knew were causing the issue into a single household

    - Re-enroll the offending sims in university (without using a cheat).

    - Back out to manage worlds

    - Go back into the household. I immediately got notifications that my sims had failed the semester and were on probation

    - Drop out of university

    Since doing that, loading other households hasn't triggered the last exception related to degree tracker. I've reloaded the game a few times and the last exception warning pop up no longer appears for me. Hope it works for you as well.
