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.

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.

    I know this was 5 years ago but I am having the same issue today. How am i supposed to know who is causing the issue because my sim wasn't cheated into university and I didn't cheat other sims into it either...? Im in desperate need if anyone could help please.
