I have a story to share about one of MC's newest features, when I get back from the school run.
Interesting morning at play, I've had.
Details incoming, check back a little later this morning. :)
About my story, for AGES now I've had a big bad lockup happening from my main household, anytime I would use my main sim's RelPanel to trigger editing any other household's sims via CASF.
Worked fine getting IN, but on exit, heading back to the live lot view, it would stall out, sit here "not responding" for at least 2 minutes. Every time.
Eventually I checked it from another house with nothing in their inventory, and the whole process worked fine. Huge Clue!
Background, it was a house with Larissa (main), her alien-abduction produced son (aged up to child when the 2 day new baby buff went away), and roommate alien Savanna (who is also insane, btw... I get a kick out of the insane sims, and an insane alien is like a bonus! LOL!). I've been having THAT problem for a while, and within the last couple of days, it spread to where I couldn't even get their house to LOAD... rest of the game works fine.
I think I fixed my inventory bug this morning, for good. Little bit of a drastic solution, though... this is windy but it's a cool story.
I split alien Savanna off into her own house, worked fine. Then I moved Larissa's alien son in with Savanna. Then I used Savanna to end Larissa's 2nd alien-started pregnancy. So far, so good.
Then I tried to load Larissa and her lot... no dice. So I evicted Larissa, saved a copy of the lot and then bulldozed the house, put down a new smaller one, and tried again. Still no good, wouldn't load at all.
My logic may be faulty here, but that led me to think SHE was the problem, not the house at all. Her personal inventory, most likely.
Sooooooo... I switched to Jacques Villareal's family. Insane criminal type, right? I used MC's Summon Sim from him to invite her over.
And then I used MC's nifty new Kill By Electrocution switch on bugged-out Larissa.
Yep, she's dead now. Urn is hanging out in Villareal's living room, and I've already exited and reloaded their house, to make sure it's okay. It's okay.
And the Grim scene was EPIC! LOLOL!!!
Best part was (although the actual death throes were pretty dramatic), after it was all said and done, I had Jacques ask Grimmy what his job was... "you'll find out soon enough." Well, Jacques is flagged for No Aging... but let him tick me off, and we'll see about that! Haha!
(I'd never done any of this before. Takes a LOT for me to deliberately kill off a sim, and usually I'd just delete them. This was a lot more fun!!)
So, that's my story for the morning. Problem-solving, MC style.
What's cool in YOUR game? :)
