[AA] Imaginary Friend Vanishes when making real (Space issue)

HI Rachel31311993​ 

I merged your post then even if it's a bit different. 

LastExceptions would still be helpful for Maxis to look into this.

crinrict​ I clicked and looked at that other thread and yes, it is similar to the problem I have. I have two sims in my sim's household, and it still don't work. I have tried with a save I have with more sims in the household and still same thing. I can still try to get a last exception if you want me to where I have my sim try to turn their imaginary friend real.

Hi Rachel31311993​ 

yeah, delete all the ones you have currently again, then turn IF real, then check your user folder if you have a new file.

There is another thread here that's similar: [AA] Imaginary Friend Vanishes when making real (Space issue) | EA Forums - 12716284 

these folks said they needed more space. Is this the same as you are seeing ?

crinrict​ I don't know. It might have popped up before and I just didn't realize it. I can try again and see if one pops up after I have my teen sim try to turn their imaginary friend real and see what happens. I have tried recently to turn the imaginary friend real and still nothing happens. Even with turning mods on and turning the mods off.

Hi Rachel31311993​ 

that is a known LE: LastException during travel: VehicleLiabilities.py error | EA Forums - 12703251 but I'm not sure it's related to your IF issue. It happens when you travel.

Does this appear after you tried to turn the IF real ?

crinrict​  I've been playing the Sims 4 for a few days and today the last exception just popped up without any mods in my mods folder. But it does say the XML Injector at the top, not sure why with the mods turned off I would think that wouldn't pop up to. But this is the Last Exception that popped up with the mods turned off.

I am having the same issue, my sim aged up to a teen and I chose the option to make the imaginary friend real, and she did a jump spin with some sparkles, but then nothing happened, and now she's just a doll that I can only reminisce with or seek comfort. She's still in my friendship panel though, but I have no interactions other than open profile or hide relationship. This is so frustrating, this was my first time making an imaginary friend and it's been nothing but bugs and glitches all the way. 

Edit - I reloaded an old save and tried to make her real with more space around her and it worked. Clearly there's an available space issue with this transformation!

Thank you for the advice, i did that around a month ago.  For the problem with imagionary friend. After restarting the game and turning off testing cheats and placing the doll in room with more free space it worked. 

LastExceptions are issues that happen in your game and get logged. It can both happen in modded and unmodded games. You won't see any messages ingame but they are still created in the back (not always though) but all that MCCC and BE do is re-format the game ones and give more info. You will get more with outdated or conflicting mods though but there are game ones,
