Re: Error Code 131:ec627cc9

Have you tried travelling to another lot and back?

surprise. I got it vanilla. Well, almost. lol

What I did to make it pop up:

I created an entirely new save. Single sim, pet.

I used MCCC's debug cheats to make the pet run away (ok I admit I have been using MCCC for that. I don't have time rn to wait for the pet to run away on its own. Can do that tomorrow)

Anyway. Let the pet run away, Save&Exit. When I got back into that household, the pet was still missing, just as I wanted it to.

Now, my next suspect was that the time for that run-away-action has passed and the pet should have returned already (1-2-ish days I guess?) and that's what broke it.

So, off to the BFF household, let them play for two to three sim days, then save&exit again. booted up the game again and went to load up my first household and: tada, I present to you, a fresh Error Code 131. 

I then go to load my household again, and, tada, a LastException is created. I attached that file here as well. Fresh one.

Pet is gray in that lil menu down there, but present on the lot. moves, lives. Also got the notification that dog has returned and I should greet her.

@jpkarlsen

Travelled to another lot, went to vet clinic, moved the dog between households (to goths, loaded them, no success, back, still no success), did a game repair, did a folder refresh, nothing. Only option I see is to save the household to the gallery and get the not-broken dog back from there.

This seems to be a bug. Please make a new posting in the bugs forum (to use the bug template). Include steps and details as outlined here. Also attach the lastexception so developers can have a look at it.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reading that btw. :D

Gonna do that tomorrow. 🙂

HI @niesniesmeow

just popping in here. If it's about error 131, please don't post in the bug forum. If you have it reproducibly, please upload your save somewhere and PM me the link instead.

If it's about the animal not returning, there's already a thread on this here:: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TO-TEST-CD-Pet-still-missing-after-returning-home/td-p/6482683/jump-to/first-unread-message

I haven't add that yet as the OP never came back.

Also, as I learned, the whole number for these errors are important. Since the number seems to be the same for the other people, you posted in exactly the correct thread.

@Tahemet Did you also have an animal run away ?

Hello Crin,

yes, I had a pet run away and it wasn't back yet when I left the game.

The cat was back when I moved the family but the icon stayed grey for the reminder of the cat's life

Tahemet

Great so that might be the cause for this error

@niesniesmeow your saves would be very helpful.

sent them via PM 😉

Received.

Thank you.

So can I just click "okay" and keep playing?  If I restart it, the same code pops up.  After awhile, will this go away?

This seems to be caused by the run away animal. You'll need to restart your entire game for it to work. OK doesn't let you continue.

Did you also have a run-away pet ?
