Re: Re: My Sim Won't Use Toilet, Bed, Or Shower

Hey, I tried doing this because I have the same issue and have done since the patch update. It didn't happen before the patch update.

It works fine with no mods and CC, but as soon as I added my Mods folder back to the new Sims 4 folder, I get this message from BetterExceptions:

Possible Cause
(Confidence 10%)              outfit_tracker

Reason:                             Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError: 'Species' object has no attribute 'asm_key')

I don't have a ton of mods (only the basics like WW, MCCC, BetterExceptions, UI Extension and Basemental) with some small tweaks from Zero too. I do have CC, but also not an OTT amount.

Any idea what mod could be causing this?

TIA!

    @LizG3392 I'm getting the same error from BetterExceptions. I haven't figured out what mod is causing it yet, either.

    @little_birb_edGiven the error, I'd suggest testing mods that have anything to do with changing outfits. You can do that by leaving just those mods in your Mods folder, deleting localthumbcache, and seeing if you still have the issue. Either don't save when you do or test on a new save. If you still have the issue, try with half those mods etc. until you find the culprit. Check for updates to those mods, too!

    I use Twisted Mexi better exceptions mod and it said the XML injector mod is causing the very same glitches in my game. I've been suffering through it as there's no update to this mod that's been posted, but I need it for other mods to function.

    @RichterBelmont10XML Injector alone can't cause issues if you're using the most current version, and if you aren't, it just makes the mods that use it not work. Make sure you're getting it from Curseforge or the modder's site. There are older versions elsewhere on the internet. Also, BE reports aren't gospel! It's a human-built tool. Odds are that a mod that's *using* XML Injector is making it seem to BE that XML Injector is the problem.

    In general, this issue ends up turning out to be a mod relating to changing outfits or which outfit a Sims should be wearing. Some of those have been updated and current versions shouldn't cause this issue.
