[AA] Custom venue not saving roles or schedule with Sexual Orientation criteria

I am not happy as how this is being managed, but Ill stay concise. Basically, we had a thread for that, but it got marked as fixed, because they fixed an issue pertaining to outfits... which was not the overall issue reported by almost everyone on the old thread. idk

How to reproduce the bug:

Squad 1) Create a custom venue and customize roles (just don't use sexual orientation criteria). Save the role, then create a schedule and save it. Click ok to finalize everything.

Squad 2) Now that you are back in build/buy, click on the button to customize your lot, everything seems alright, you can see the schedule and the roles, modify the roles and add sexual orientation criteria for both roles. Save over the current roles. Finalize the changes and then get out of the UI, applying what you changed.

Squad 3) You are back in build/buy, now go back to customize the schedule and roles. You find an empty blank UI menu and when you tried to load the custom schedule, nothing load, still blank, same with the roles.

 

Hope it helps and that we stay on track with the MAIN focus, sexual orientation criteria. Thank you!

 

I have all DLC installed, most recent version of the game installed, no mods, on pc.

    No, as I don't work for EA, I wouldn't know. You'll need to contact a CM for this types of questions.

    Do you know if the other issue they are trying to resolve in the next patch is linked to sexual orientation criteria? The old thread is linked in the blog post, but they dont say what exactly will be fixed...

  • Francoisf30​ Thank you so much for reporting this.  I'm having the same issue in my game and created a video to help show what's happening for me. 

    https://youtu.be/5NDW7nax6Ic

    The video starts after I had created the Gay Bar schedule, which includes a Bartender, Staff and Gay Client roles.  None of these started with any Romantic Orientation role criteria.  Once I added the Attracted to Male criteria to the Client role, the schedule was wiped out.  I was able to reload the saved Gay Bar preset which only had one timeslot and did not include any Romantic Orientation criteria.  I readded all the timeslots and then also added that criteria again to the Gay Client role.  After that, I saved over the existing one.  At that point, I was no longer able to load that preset at all.

    EDIT to say that the video is from an unmodded save.
