Thanks!(end note)Everybody knows I'm a modders' fangirl. I heart mods, and MC Command Center is definitely the cream of the crop. Deaderpool told me he isn't on these forums much, and lately I've been answering a lot of questions about the mod... sometimes after I've gone to his mod page at MTS for answers either in the docs or from him personally. You can't get much better, than straight from the horse's mouth.Long story short, @luthienrising suggested I should start this thread here, since I'm a MC Command Center cheerleader anyway.So if anything's confusing you in the mod, ask... I'll see what I can do to help figure it out.TBH I haven't been using it LONG, but I'm learning fast, and I'll never play without it again. It's *that* good.Don't have it?

(Give me a few minutes...)You're right, the ones I linked are probably from an earlier version, and honestly, MTS's "search" seems to be kind of... um... fluid? with its results, anyway. That's why I try to always give a page and post number. Seems more reliable.You in? I told you I'd draft you, if you let me. Look at our avatars, can't you just see these two sims hanging out? :smile:

Here's how the Mod looks in my folder:The ONLY one you have to unzip is the main module, which drops both the script and package files into the folder. The rest of the modules you just download and copy/paste. The log file you can enable in the settings. I want to see it ALL, so I turned it on. This is IMPORTANT... that file overwrites itself. So if something happens you want to know more about, don't wait long to look at it. I copied/pasted my pregnancy/marriage log info to a different file, because I wanted to hang onto it. I learned this the hard way, I had a trip-time and lost the info on what happened because I waited too long to look for it. Lesson learned, and shared!BTW, I am NOT up to speed on either the Dresser or Cleaner modules. Next week I'll do more with those, when I'm off work. But if someone cares to jump in and field those questions, and Mac questions (I know zilch)... that would be grand.

If all else fails, you could ask over at MTS... but you know they're all gonna say "have you tested your cc?" anyway, right? And, "have you tried a fresh game/folder/delete localthumbcache... etc.

Repaired lately? Any new windows updates, driver updates... I had a ton of that hit me all at once, right when some patch came down too, and it was a mess till I figured out what went to what, if you know what I mean? My optimizer suite got a major workout, too.

Oh... one beginner question I shouldn't have had to EDIT to ask... what version do you have? 1.0.6.? That's the newest.

How organized is your CC? all in one folder (OMG I'd go nuts!!) or in subfolders? How many... I don't like doing the 50/50 test, but I was thinking if you could take it all out and put it back in one folder at a time, that would probably help narrow it down pretty quick.

Also, I've been browsing and found a link @ceejay402 posted about CC... it may be too "beginner" for you, but I wanted to let YOU decide that. Besides, maybe someone else having issues might find it helpful.

Well that's why I haven't even posted about it, as no one else seemed to have the issue, and I had tried everything.

The time this happened I had the latest version of the mod as well. Don't remember which one it was, but it was definitely up to date.

I had another thought. What was the last version you tried? It's possible he's fixed things related to your issue between then and now. And, if you'd run one test for me, that would be great... install MC, run it till something weird happens (overall, preferably a game week so all the alarms run, although I'd rather see info sooner than that, too), and keep checking to see if you have a new LastException file in your Sims4 folder.

If you do, and it's not mega huge, I'd like to see it. GTW spawned a 24k LE for me once... epic! I actually sent that one to SimGuruEugi, along with a game save. LOL! (Scumbumbo and Deaderpool both said "core game error" so I figured they might be interested.)

If there is a mega huge one, you could put it on dropbox... or email it to me, I'm at gmail. I'd like to see it either way. Just let me know to look if you do mail it, I don't check my mail every day.

"Population_MaximumHomeless": 25,

This one will keep your bin numbers from exploding and triggering culling, if you (meaning anybody in general) don't have the No Culling Mod (why NOT??) installed. Link is in my sig. No excuses, go get it! Game changer. KEEP your Sims! /soapbox off

(You'll probably see more than your set number in the bin. Normal behavior, the game HAS to be able to create Reapers, Mailmen, and so on... but you shouldn't see as MANY incoming sims once that number triggers the filters.)

I enabled both logging and notifications. Tip on logging, the file overwrites itself, so don't wait long to look at it if something happens. Copy/paste is your friend there.

"Pregnancy_BypassActiveRomanticInterest": true,

Cuts down on "random" pregnancies happening for sims in relationships. If false, even if Jim and Sally are engaged, the mechanics could still have her end up pregnant by someone else, and most likely not as interested in the fiance any more. Or have him get with someone else.

"Pregnancy_BypassPlayedHouseholds": true,

This is your safe haven. If true, mapped played households are not subjected to the pregnancy etc whims of MC's random(ish) generator. Mapped UNPLAYED households are still fair game.

Thanks, ceejay! Sure, jump in... it's an amazing piece of work. You'll love it!

As far as CC... boycotting (not really, just not fooling with it... I have had some before, but only a few things) works fine for me.

(I can see Amiutza's eyes bugging out right now... LOL! I'd be that way with "boycotting mods" ... you can DO that??? kinda thing. :p )

What did I do wrong? I wanted to see if the mod would push along relationships in my game. I enabled same gender because I am all about "free to be" but it looks like it is ONLY doing same gender? And why is the same Sims impregnating more than 1 Sim?

Post your config file, mc_setting.cfg

I should be in bed, but if you don't hear from me in a few minutes (I'm hoping you see this right away), I'll catch it when I get up before work tonight (3d shift, love it!).

This is what file I meant. Check the docs page at MTS on the setting I bolded, I'd about bet it needs to have either an S or O in there because of some of your other settings. I'm sorry I don't have time to go look, but if I don't get to bed I'm going to regret it tonight.
