[DU] Error code 102:20ece5dd - Roommate System

Playing with a sim in uni, tried to go to foxbury event and the game crashed.

Tested a few things around, deactived all mods. Still got the same error.

Tried to use other sims to reach the foxbury spirit event. The error seems to be only in Briny Tower. Even letting the event end and going there a day later, still got the same error.

Tried to repair the game but still got the same error.

Seems to be something about generating roommates in Briny Tower.

After the crash an exclamation point appears above Briny Tower, it says it's incomplete. So I entered in building mode but everything seems to be fine.

Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title

Workaround

  1. Use load to load the save
  2. Enter the broken lot from the map in build mode
  3. Change the lot type to residential (not anything else)
  4. Go back to your family and load into it. You should now be able to load it
  5. Travel home
  6. You will notice that when you try to change the lot type again, all you have available is the residential options as if someone was living there.
  7. Move a random sim into the lot (use freerealestate on to be able to buy it)
  8. Click on Evict Household in the lower right corner
  9. This will make the map unresponsive
  10. Click on another world and just select a random lot there
  11. Go back to brichester and enter the broken lot in build mode again.
  12. Set the lot type back to Uni Housing
  13. You will notice that the random Sim still lives there. Evict them again.
  14. Load your family and travel to the lot. You should not get an error.

  • HI moraox​ 

    Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?

    - Delete the ones you have
    - Trigger the error again
    - Check if new ones are created
    - If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.


    Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting. 

    The incomplete is normal if the game can't load a lot. It just means that it wasn't able to detect all the items because the game threw an error before getting to the check. With error codes they are a non-issue.

  • Hi moraox​ 

    Can you enter the lot in build mode (with cheat) or does that also throw an error (most likely same number but 122 instead of 102)

    Bit hard to tell what it is but it seems it has something to do with the game trying to spawn a room mate and fails.

    Did you edit the lot in any way ?

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.
