[BH] Several classes/lectures don't work

List of affected Classes:

  • Fabrication

List of affected Lectures:

  • Fabrication
  • Robotics
  • Research and Debate

 

I tried to start a Fabrication class using the whiteboard, and I noticed that my customers were not using the objects around, and I was only able to teach Rocket Science at the whiteboard after launching it.

It's a pretty easy to see the issue when I look at the tuning: the interaction to start the class launches a Rocket Science class situation instead for the instructor. 

There is also an other issue while trying to hold a Fabrication Lecture, that I tested with no other mod installed other than the Better Exception: the interaction that is used to make sims join the class causes an issue (the issue is thrown every time a Sim joins the class):

Exception during call to test method on <class 'sims4.tuning.instances.simPicker_HobbyClass_Whiteboard_LectureFor_Fabrication'> (AttributeError: 'SimInfo' object has no attribute 'is_part')
Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't have this issue with other classes, so I don't know what is different here. Tested on multiple lots.

I found the cause: contrary to other hobbies classes broadcasters, the one from the fabrication class uses the "imPicker_HobbyClass_Whiteboard_LectureFor_Fabrication"  interaction instead of the "sI_HobbyClass_ListenToLecture_Fabrication" interaction. So it's also a quick fix 🤩

    Cooking class were working fine on my side, and the tuning seem correct for those. I think that might be an other issue 🥹

    Down-in-Simsland what about the other reported ? Knitting and flower arranging ?

    Guess the title of this thread is too general now.

    Commenting to add weight to the post - I have just now tried to run fabrication classes, and I can't.  I can hold the unpaid lecture, but I cannot hold a paid class that gives the event to try to achieve gold. 

    Editing to add: I have been able to run handiness classes successfully, so am surprised that I can't run the fabrication class properly.

    2nd edit: I took another sim to the small business, and they were able to request and successfully pay for and complete a fabrication class

  • I can run a cooking/baking/gourmet cooking class and lecture but the participants never use the items placed down. They will listen to the lecture portion of a class and then when I mentor someone as part of the class the other participants do whatever they want.

    Unfortunately I don't have the time to test all the classes 😅 My bug report was specific to the classes and lectures mentioned as the issues were clearly identified in the tunings themselves.

  • I'm haviing a problem where sims turn up for the lecture, but my sim can't "start" the lecture. He keeps waving his hands in the air as though the board is blocked, but there is nothing in the way of his board. I am about ready to yeet my computer out of a window due to this.

  • My pottery classes have all failed apart from the first one I ran on release day. I've tried with and without mods, a brand new save and repairing the game. Nothing has worked. There are sims that have definitely used the ticket kiosk doing pottery in the room, I can start lecturing or mentoring and the time will start to be added, then the class fails for no reason. I can otherwise lecture using the board or mentor sims normally.
