Re: child sims character values reset every time the game opens and closes

@marebearexe Do you have mods or CC in your Mods folder? If so, do a "vanilla" test to see if a mod/CC is your problem: Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving. Let me know the result.

    thanks for that suggestion! i could actually do that since i dont have to open and close the game 8 zillion times lol. when i opened the game this go around (no mods,) all the character values were the same as where they were last night when i was playing. maybe its a fluke but i bet its because mods were the issue. which sucks because i have no clue how to find out what causes it :')

    @marebearexe Unfortunately, I've not seen anything that specificall causes this, but I'd suggest starting with the current Broken/Updated Mods & CC lists. If updating those doesn't fix the problem, you can do a 50-50 of your Mods folder. It's the fastest way to narrow down a mod problem.

    i would do a 50/50 if i could, but i dont think ill be able to due to load times. ill check the broken mods list, but otherwise, guess i'll just suck it up and bear with it LOL

    @marebearexe One way to cut back load times is to turn off showing the CC/mod list on startup. It's in Game Options.

    Sometimes having a lot of duplicates can slow down loading too. If you ever want a look through your mod list for some tips on what you could do to shorten it, How to Use Mods and CC has instructions on how to make a list that you can post here.
