Occult eyes default replacement mod cause live mode loading forever

I had this mod for a long time and it never caused any problem. It even work with1.110.265.1030.

Not until the newest update 1.110.294.1020 with the Life and Death expansion.

I found out only the occult default eye replacement will cause the problem. The human eye replacement still works fine.

Something about occult features must have fundamental changes and conflict with those default replacement mods.

It took me quite some time to figure out the culprit.

Maybe someone who has the same problem can find this useful.

  • @JD9512 Thank you for the report! I suspect this could actually be related to an issue with the game itself that I noticed in Bug Reports. Have you been able to get it to work with a different Werewolf default eyes? Are you having any issues with the game's own Werewolf eyes? Here's the general report about occult features not "sticking" in Live mode: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-V-ROM-Occult-eyes-features-disappear-when-entering-live/m-p/14192231

    My default eye replacement mod didn't have werewolf eyes in it, and I haven't try other eye replacement mods yet.

    But since you mention the occult features not "sticking". It happened on mine 1.110.265 too.

    In 1.110.294, I can not enter live mode with occult eye replacement mods, but I can play in CAS with them.
    My played vampire will lose all their vampiric features in their human form, but their gallery will keep those feature when I merge them in.

    After switching a few times, I can select and show them in CAS on played sims.

    After I removed the default replacement mod. I still can not make occult features stick on their human form in 1.110.294.

    I am avoiding replacing the default occult eye for now.

  • Hello! I reached out to a mod creator about default replacement eyes for all humans/occults etc with the same issue. Another simmer mentioned this:

    "Default eyes cause a Infinite loading screen once people unlock the new ghost eyes from the reapers reward event. They have to be updated to include the new eye ‘color’!"

    I am not a modder so I don't know how that works, but I was having the same infinite loading screen also when the default replacement eyes are in my mods folder.

    @ADashofAsh90 Thank you! That's very helpful info. There are instructions online about how to do updating this yourself, but I'm not going to post them here as this isn't really a "how to do modding" forum.

    However, I do need some more info from you, because I can't reproduce the problem in my own save, and I use default replacement eyes and have unlocked the ghost eyes. The ghost eyes just appear as unmodded in CAS, and I have no infinite loading going back into Live mode. Perhaps it's affecting some default eyes and not others?
