[LBMBLE] Fluttering Hand Fan: 'Fan yourself' interaction is missing

The hand fan you can get through the event can't be used, even though there's a way to use it in the game files.

  • The ‘Put Away’ action also summons the closed fan in their hand, but my sims don’t know where to put it.

    I downloaded this reward just because it was advertised as functional, please fix this. I don't need any decorative fan, because for what?

    I've seen people unlock the fan and use it; so why are people just now having issues with it? I just thought it was a matter of temperature in-game, but people can't even see the option just grayed-out? What the heck?

  • I can confirm that the fan is supposed to be functional but isn't.

    Proof that it's supposed to be functional: There are 7 tuning files for the fan, for example "animation/object_handfan" and "interaction/object_EV009_handfan_fanSelf". When I open the one ending with "fanSelf" I can see that there's code for cooling the Sim down if you have Seasons installed and they fan themself when they're Overheated. There's also code that has to do with when a sim is Flirty, but I'm not good enough at reading tuning code to figure out what happens when the Sim is Flirty and uses the fan.

    Sim holds a folded handfan in their hand and has a thought bubble about routing error.

    The fan has two interactions, "Put in inventory" and "Put away". When I try the "Put away" interaction, my sim holds the folded fan in their hand and get a routing fail thought bubble. I've tried this interaction both from having the fan placed in the world and in the inventory.

    I tried to click on the fan both with Temperature Effects turned on and off, and both when my Sim didn't have any temperature related Moodlets and when they were Overheated, but there's no option to fan yourself.

    A modder has made a fix for this. It appears that the Fan Self interaction has not been linked to the object correctly as a valid option.
