Re: Sims Cannot Perform Directed Actions

Thank you again for your help. I added each mod in and played for awhile until I have only one mod left to add, Vicky Sims' 100 extra traits. The game has worked fine so far. As I go to download the latest version of the mod, I find myself confused again by the directions. Perhaps I'd never installed it correctly to begin with. At any rate, I liked it but not enough to insist on it when I can't be sure to get it right and when it seems to be what was causing my problems, so, I'll just live without it.

I've been playing with a test family this entire time, but do you know if I can go back to the family where there was a problem? Are there likely to still be problems or, without the probable problem causing mod, would they be playable again?

Tbh, there is only one way to find out and that is to go play that household again. Since the mod you mentioned is a trait mod, I assume you've used some of the custom traits on your sims. I suggest you take a look at the sims in CAS before going to live mode to make sure the sims have game traits. You'll probably need to use the CAS.fulleditmode cheat before going to CAS so you can do that since traits are locked in CAS normally.
If you can play that household without problem, then you're good to go. But, if you are still seeing problems after removing the mod, then the save might be corrupted. Some mods will leave remnants behind even after removing the mod. If you find that happening, you might have to abandon the save. You can try to save the sims by saving them to you Library. Same with any custom lots. Then add them to a new save and see if the problems persist. Hopefully, you won't have to do that.
Hope this helps.

Aw, shucks, it looks like the problem is continuing in that save. At this point, I'm not eager to try copying them to the library. I don't have copies of them without those traits, or without missing traits now that the mod is gone. It seems like a recipe to continue the problem. Time for something new.
