[CL] Sims reset when autonomously using Karaoke Machine during festival

Hi kaw_woof 

To be sure, this is just for Sims autonomously using the machine during a festival or also if you direct them to do it ?

Oh thank you! I didn't see the Never CC or Mods tag haha!

Yes, it seems to be autonomous, but like I said before, I haven't been able to replicate it, due to not having access to tools to like... force one to happen there; though I could place one in every festival area and test it that way? Like, not in the area itself, but the place where the sim starts off before partaking in the festival events. Would that be a good route to take?

kaw_woof If you start a new save game, it usually starts right before the flea market so maybe you can test that way.

Going to put this on review but do add any additional info you find.

wait really? I had no clue! I’ll do that then, thank you for the step forward :3

I had the same error in San Myshuno. Whenever a Sim attempted to use the karaoke machine autonomously, they would reset and a Last Exception would be shown in the notifications.

Here's what I found in the LastException.txt file:

Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError:  'JoinSituationElement' object has no attribute 'situation_type')


Traceback (most recent call last):


File "T:\InGame\Gameplay\Scripts\Server\scheduling.py", line 231, in simulate


File "T:\InGame\Gameplay\Scripts\Server\elements.py", line 335, in _run
 

File "T:\InGame\Gameplay\Scripts\Server\interactions\utils\interaction_elements.py", line 177, in _behavior_element


File "T:\InGame\Gameplay\Scripts\Server\situations\tunable.py", line 558, in _do_behavior AttributeError: 'JoinSituationElement' object has no attribute 'situation_type' rtim=0


I looked up the corresponding code mentioned in the LastException.txt file. So, the game says that the JoinSituationElement does not have a 'situation_type' attribute. Instead, it has 'situation'. These are defined in the FACTORY_TUNABLES dictionary in its class definition. 

In the _do_behavior method, there is a portion of code that checks if the local variable 'situation' is None. There is a call to logger.error() that is given self.situation_type as a parameter, but this attribute was never initialized, so this may be what is causing the error. Perhaps self.situation should be passed in instead.

I don't know if my assessment is correct, but if this helps the development team pinpoint the actual error, then I'm happy. 

Thanks for your time!

Hi bmagana5 was it also only during a festival ?

The JoinSituationElement error happens to any of my Sims, new game, or older game, whenever going to a festival in San Myshuno such as the spice festival.   This happens almost immediately upon zoning into San Myshuno when invited to go to a festival there, and within a few game minutes of zoning without an invite.

huh, good to know!
