Animation issue when playing cards on a game table

Hi!

I noticed an issue when having Sims use the game table. I don't exactly know what is the cause of that, but it seems to appear a lot with Sims autonomously using it. The bug happens when a Sims is starting to play cards, when playing the animation where they put a deck of cards in front of them. Sometimes, for a reason unknown, the animation glitches and the Sims resets.

Tested and observed without mods (only having the Better Exceptions by TwistedMexi).

Here is the exception:

ANIMATION: A clip is trying to fire a parent event with bad data. Either the animation actors are mistuned, or a slot that doesn't exist on the rig has been specified in Maya. ASMs: Clip: a2o_cardGame_placeDeck_seated_x (Parent Event ID: 2), Parenting [Prop]prototype/51199:0x06911451781c05a0 to object_tableGame_recreationTable:0x0691145177b7037b, Slot 0x71af93dd on '00000000!6945542d'f5da310e.8eaf13de', Offset: Transform(Vector3(0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000), Quaternion(0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000)) (KeyError: 'get_joint_transform_from_rig: Joint name [(null)] was not found in the specified rig [6945542df5da310e.8eaf13de]. JointNameHash [0x71af93dd]().')

As I first thought it was caused by a mod I was working on, i wend deep in trying to understand the error. The Joint Name Hash mentioned (0x71af93dd) corresponds to "_ctnm_sitIndividual_" which is a bone present in the game table rig (as _ctnm_sitIndividual_0, _ctnm_sitIndividual_1... one for each seating). his bone is mentioned on this a2o_cardGame_placeDeck_seated_x animation clip, as a parent anchor for the card deck. In theory, this error shouldn't happen, as the joint exist, but not being a specialist on animations, maybe there is something wrong in one of the steps I could not figure out.

As using the game table is an activity that many players would want to use in setting up custom businesses, that might be a cause of bad experience as Sims seem to reset a lot.

  • Please remove all your mods, including BE.

    Then retest the whole thing and post (c/p)the complete LE you get from the game, not BE. You can use Insert/Edit code sample to format the whole thing.

    I've also been waiting to hear if anyone else was having this issue. I've been trying to figure out which of my mods is causing LEs and this is not a mod, this is a base game item that is causing LEs. I ran a clean game with no mods and got this LE plus some clothing spiking in the jogging outfit that was giving as a reward.
