story_progression_action_relationship error

PC user

This error always occurs between 2am and 3am in game. It started in my main save, it would make the game stuck so that I could not switch between Sims and they were also stuck. Game would not save. This would happen in any save I tried. I troubleshooted this myself using LastException assistant and BetterExceptions. Deleted and updated any CC I could before trying with no mods. With much help from Deaderpool's discord, we exhausted all possibilities and tested that the error still happens with all mods taken out, except MCCC so I could get the lastexception file.

Better Exceptions says no mods are listed in the exception, and that Possible Cause (Confidence: 10%) is "story_progression_action_relationship." Last Exception Assistant says it is an "unknown error."

I tried turning any relationship neighbourhood story options off, and that did not change anything.

At first, the error said something about "utils."

I tried completely reinstalling my game and tested with both mods and no mods, and the error still comes up. I am 95% sure it is not related to mods and is thus an issue with the game itself that I cannot fix myself. Before, the game was completely unplayable. Now it seems my Sims do function after the error comes up, but I am unmotivated to play until the issue is fixed. 

I have included the Better Exceptions report and the lastexception file from just now. If I can provide any more information or do more troubleshooting, let me know.

  • I'm experiencing the same, between 2am and 3am. Not sure if I'm pasting the right information below, so please let me know if you need anything else.

    I have the same issue. I do play with mods, but it seems to be unrelated to mods. I've been experiencing it for perhaps 6 months now.

    Hi. I'm so sorry that's happening to you too. May I ask if it's affecting more than one save and does it make the game unplayable? Or can you still play the game with this issue?

    I am having the exact same problem, did you find a solution by any chance?

  • I'm experiencing the exact same issue on the PC version.
    It doesn't affect game progress, but the notifications are annoying.

    There seems to be some kind of problem with the save data. Starting a new game temporarily fixed it, but the bug reappears after playing for a while.

  • I have been getting same one for I swear a year now.  I can swat every error but this one. lol This bug is really a mystery.

    I only play in one save, so it's affecting that one. I do have a test save that I only go to if I have a mod issue and it doesn't occur in that save. The game is still playable, but it is annoying get a last exception every night at the same time in the game. 

  • I am also having the same error. Every night between 2am - 3am my sims freeze up and I get the story_progression_action_relationship exception. It doesn't seem to be impacting other areas of my gameplay and if I wait a few seconds it clears and everything carries on. Playing on a fresh install so this is my first and only save in the game, error wasn't present previously. Happens regardless of which household I'm playing.

  • I have also been experiencing this same issue, but my game doesn't freeze. I moved a family to a new save to start over, but it eventually started happening again. There is always a <sim {long string of numbers & letters} listed as well when it happens for me. I can close it and the game continues, but it happens during culling times in the game. I was only able to make it stop by removing MC Command Center in my game and could leave the other mods I have in the game, so I assume it's linked with settings I have in MCCC I'm not sure what to adjust the settings to in MCCC to stop it from happening, but I don't want to completely eliminate MCCC from my saves. Did anyone ever figure out a solution or cause for this that maybe isn't MCCC related??
