Sims showing as home but unplayable - lastexception error

[AngelSimmmer]

Hi,

 

I'm getting an issue where some of my Sims are showing as "Home" but they've disappeared. It seems to happen when they go to work (particularly in professions) or sometimes just after leaving and coming back.

 

I thought at first it was only happening with one family -- 2 guys and their cat -- as I consistently received a LastException error when opening the game with them.

 

I tried evicting them and putting them back, moving them to another lot, bulldozing the lot and rebuilding the house + moving them in, bulldozing and putting a new house + moving them in, moving them to a new lot in another neighborhood, deleting them and restoring them from the gallery, and then finally deleting them entirely and remaking them from scratch.

None of this worked -- always I would get the error and the house would either load with them disappeared or as soon as they went anywhere, alone or together, they would disappear!

 

At one point, one of my guys stayed around long enough to go to work in the Detective career, but couldn't complete even his first day of work, because as soon as he went to the crime scene, the game didn't recognize he had done it and he just stood around and couldn't return to the police station.

 

On top of it, although it seemed to be only them and I was almost resigned to just not playing them again, another couple with no pets are having the same problem. Interestingly, they're in a profession too (doctors) and were not home when I loaded their house but disappeared when they came home with no interference from me (I'm starting to wonder if this is related somehow).

 

My game is up to date, my WickedWhims is up to date, I don't use CNNW or Nisa's Wicked Perversions, I updated to the latest version of as many animations as I could find.

 

Other things I tried that didn't work:

- Used ww.fix

- Checked and "updated" my game through Origin

- Removed my mods and Repaired using Origin

- Replaced only Resource.cfg and WickedWhims and ran the game

 

Please help! Is there a bug in my save or in WickedWhims?

 

I've attached both the most recent lastexception file (with just WickedWhims installed) and the most recent when I still had everything in my game.

Looks like you still have some kind of career mod installed, (looking at the smaller LE file).

That's the weird thing, I don't have any career mods (as far as I know, anyway). I only use WickedWhims, animations and a few objects like the strap-on. There was also a no-censor mod and some body mods still in the folder but I guess they were pretty much obsolete. None of which were in the folder when the smaller LE happened -- that one was with just WickedWhims.

 

Something just went super wrong with that save. It only seems to be that world so far, too. I've been slowly re-adding animations and testing them in a world I don't play with much, and the bug isn't reproducing in it.

 

I'd just write that world off, except it's one where I'd finished the whole Strangerville storyline and I've put a bunch of hours into it

(Also the fear that the bug could happen again...)

Well, some ppl have said they didn't have any other cc, and later came back to say they found some blah blah blah mod they forgot about, or some other mod must have installed it unknowingly.

 

What I'm saying is... Test with WW + Animations ONLY, and no other mods in the mod folder.

Make sure to use the latest version of WW.

And you might also want to delete the WW save folder in your save game folder too, or at least move it to your desktop.

 

Sometimes you can load an older save, before it happened, to fix things.

And it might also help if you removed all your mods at the same time.

Delete your localthumbcache.package too.

Test it out and make a clean save without any mods.

 

Keep in mind sometimes WW will generate a random LE caused by routing or collision issues with the game itself.

The bad ones are those that keep repeating, crashing, or game breaking.
