Reward Store Trait Mods & XML Injector Mods

Hi,

I'm looking for some clarification: I've been reading with the HSY / 1.90 patch, that mods that add traits through the reward store are supposedly broken, yet I am seeing creators clearing their mods that do exactly that.

Also, the XML Injector, required for many mods, is also mentioned as broken, yet I also see modders are clearing their mods that use that, too. For example, some careers using the XML Injector are cleared, while others are stated as broken.

I didn't want to ask this in the official mod thread for the patch, as it says it is not specifically for mod support / asking questions, and I want to respect that, but I was wondering if someone could further clarify:

Are all mods that add traits through the reward store really broken? Or is it a case-by-case basis? And is everything that uses the XML injector broken, as well, or is that also case by case?

Thank you.
  • XML Injector was just updated.
    For clarification, any Careers using XML Injector to add interactions (such as mine) were semi-working but the interactions weren't available to use.
    The XML Injector only had that one functionality broken but it was stopping the rest of the script from injecting anything; that's why careers were declared as broken if they used it.

    I hope that helps explain it a bit! <3
  • @MissyHissy Thank you for explaining! I'm so glad to hear the XML Injector has been updated, as so many of my mods use it.

    And, two of your custom careers make up half of the total of four that I use! :smiley:

    I was so thrilled to see you had created an Archaeology Career (I still can't believe Jungle Adventure missed the opportunity to include that with the pack) and your lovely Museum Curator Career. My field is museums, so it has been great to have those career options made available to my Sims - I love to build different types of museums in the game, and your careers make them feel like they are real places of employment and cultural significance

    Thanks for all the hard work you put into making and maintaining your mods. I know this patch has been highly destructive, and I appreciate modders like you who update so quickly! I feel better about updating now that the XML Injector has been fixed - but I think I'm going to wait to make a full transition until the emergency EA Patch comes out to fix the insane aging bug, among other game-breaking bugs I have been hearing about. If/when that happens I'll update, and perhaps buy Werewolves & mayybee HSY if it stops having sooo many issues.

    Thanks again!

  • No problem @AalyahReed ! Glad I could help!
    As I understand, the EA patch will be out next week and that should fix the issues the patch presented.

    And thank you for your lovely comments! This week feels like it's been very long! :D

    There is information on the site for XML Injector but not much (at the very top): https://scumbumbomods.com/status
  • Hi @RedShoe7 Thank you for the link!

    There is one mod I use that adds a CAS trait via the reward store that has been cleared by the creator, but the link you provided states that the XML Injector's functionality for that kind of a mod is not working, so I'm unfortunately still confused.

    I also use 2 custom careers by one creator, and two custom careers by another; they are the only custom careers I use. Both creators use XML i Injector for their careers. Creator A says most of their careers are broken because of XML Injector, but creator B says their XML Injector-using mods are fine. The link you provided to Scumbumbo's mod site is saying XML is working outside of it's reward store trait functionality, so I don't know what to do with the conflicting custom career statuses from the two different creators.

    I've pulled out all 4 careers for now, just to be on the safe side, and I'm debating on pulling the reward store trait one, even though it's been cleared.

    I appreciate the link to Scumbumbo's mod status for the most recent patch. I'll be hoping to hear some more info about the XML mod compatibility before I attempt to add them back in.

    Short of tagging the creators directly, I don't know what to do. Two of them have Discords, so I suppose I could ask there if I don't hear anything else here.

    Thanks.
