Attractiveness Preferences Resetting

[Eraleas]

Hi all,

 

I have been trying to resolve an issue I've been encountering and I'm not sure if WW may cause it, but it's the only mod that seems to be affected.

 

In short, all Sims' attractiveness preferences after having been tweaked with, seem to occasionally reset back to the "default state" they were set in upon creation, essentially ignoring any changes that were made.

 

I have noticed this occurring when closing and restarting the game;, or when moving in a new family.. It occasionally occurs when I select "Save As..." and create a new save file, all preferences go blank. The changes simply don't seem to stick globally, as if the memory is being purged.

 

I have deleted the localthumbscache, preformed a ww fix and a shallow cleaning but I'm unsure how to make the preferences stick.

I have checked other mods that might potentially conflict but I don't believe I have installed something which possibly could do that. I haven't yet noticed any related LEs either.

 

Has anyone else noticed something similar?

 

Any help would be appreicated.

Thank you

Haven't noticed Attractivness getting reset but I have it turned off.

But what I have noticed is the WW Sex stats getting reset quite regularly.

 

Townie sims I've lived with, and/or had sex with 10-48 times, get reset to 0 somehow.

Used to happen long time ago, when the old WW had the stats feature.

But I only noticed it resetting if I switched to play another family just for editing, adding money, etc.

 

I'm guessing it's the same type of issue with data either not getting saved, or not being loaded.

Not sure if that type of data is saved with the WW Export feature or with game saves.

It does indeed sound like a similar issue indeed., as if it resets. However, it does appear to keep a default preset for each sim as far as attractiveness goes. It does seem to "stick" if you play with one family; if you switch there is a chance that everything is reset.

 

I basically enjoy the Gender preferences more than any similar mods thus far which had similar functions and it's kind of interesting to see what sims can be generated with and roll with the stories.

 

I doubt it's related to the Settings import export feature as this only affects other features. I believe it's integrated in the save in a way but not sure how.

EDIT: Mind you, I do use other Mods that allows for individual sim preferences (Love and Hate mods, SoL etc) but those seems unaffected and never fail to load.

Would be good to inform TD on this to understand whjether this is expected and if we can somehow keep a "Save" of individual sims stats.

@Eraleas I'm having the same issue.  The default settings seem to be overriding my tweaks even after just setting them.

Hello,

 

Yes! I have the same issue and searched this forum only to find this smallish thread.

I tend to play with LOTS of families and rotate among them, set prefs for each family, but by the time I rotate back, those prefs are reset to default. It makes me wonder if there's an internal limit on how many Sims can have prefs set, but that doesn't seem right, since every Sim has their own record file for things like job and relationships.

Sometimes I can see when an Attractions reset has happened globally because suddenly the percentage of Sims that dislike Space Alien skins (for example) suddenly drops back to 0.0%.

 

The gameplay mods I use are: MCCC; Basemental Drugs; Sacrificial Hoes, Sacrificial Violence, 2 food don't spoil mods, and a no-mosaic mod.

My game and WW mods are current.

 

This feature is fantastic in theory and when it works I love it, but the constant resetting makes it ephemeral at best.

I may be wrong but I don't think WW stores that data in the same way, or location, that the game does for each sim.

Thinking it's stored separately with the WW saves.

When you switch households it resets: possibly thinking you've started a new game.

I don't think some parts of WW were really set up for playing multiple households though.

Only @TURBODRIVER can really answer questions about this.

Thanks for your answer. It does sound like you are right,  but WW seems to save personalized penor size information for individual sims across multiple households. I can play household one, set all the male or tgurl cock sizes, by the time I play 20 other houses and return to household one, their penor sizes haven't changed. That's where my expectation that preferences would be saved globally came from.

Well I would think it's possible.

Those two features of WW are fairly new and are probably still being refined I suppose.

But the resets are a bug of some sort, or an oversight, as I've seen a few others have reported the same problem.

All you can do is maybe post in the main WW thread and try to flag TURBO.

I bet he's awful busy lately with all the patches EA keeps dropping lately.

Hi all,

Has anyone figured this out? My Attractivness preferences and my Body Selector seem to randomly "deselect". I truly like these two features as it makes the game much more diverse and interesting, however.... after spending time perfecting and tweaking each sim with body types, attractiveness likes and dislikes etc, it all just goes back to being deselected.

I've tried to figure out what could be causing this by removing mods and cc, but I'm not that clever and it would probably take several years. Any help would be truly appreciated, since I would like to take advantage of these awesome features. 

Thank you!

This can be caused by having too many default body parts.

 

Edited: And/Or outdated body parts.

I gave up try to use the Attractiveness options some time ago, nice idea but even apart from the resetting bug even when you set everything up you still find your sims preferences don't seem to really align with what you wanted. I guess its just a low priority or difficult to reproduce the problem. Personally I would rather have this fixed than this sex club stuff.

 

One thing I do miss is the way you could use it to lock a sims gender preferences, so Bi-females would stay that way.

Howdy folks,

 

I thought I had this issue figured out until recently. Every time I changed a Sim's settings, I saved the game. Problem solved until tonight when I noticed that ALL of the Sims' settings were reset. I haven't updated  to the latest version. It had to have happened within the last 24 hours. I have autosave set, I wonder if that was the culprit.

I suppose it's possible autosave messed it up but IDK for sure.

 

But since TURBO has changed the saved settings to be global now, rather than using game saves, it might help to update to WW 147g.

Other mods like MCCC have used global .cfg data saves forever it seems.

The sims that my sim should like the best, are considered "very unattractive" by the program.

It never seems to get it right.

Changing useless piddly picayune details does nothing (probably makes it worse.)

On the plus side, I know now it isn't working, it plain tells me that so-and-so is unattractive.

Generating all sims attractiveness based upon romantic partners (just now),

has upgraded them from "very unattractive" to "basic looking."

OK I obviously can change stuff, just not the way I'd like.

My game seems to retain all the settings, it just rejects them outright when it counts.

Like some moderator program is overriding any dissent.

 

 

On an OT (but related) subject, randomly generated sims usually have very light brown gigantic eyes, very full lips and a huge nose.

 

Likes: Dark small eyes, tiny nose, small mouth, average weight (small weight, almost any weight except enormous.)

After forcing you to focus on details that it ignores completely or takes the opposite of,

I wish you could just pick a person and tell the game "very attractive"

Maybe there's an INI file someone could edit?

That's why I just disabled those features; got tired of messing with them all the time.

The attractiveness settings are super wonky. They don't stick reliably at all. In one save of mine, I only play one household and their preferences never change. I don't use autosave either. But in other saves, I play rotational and I've seen preferences go all over the place - they never seem to be the same. It's disappointing to play a married couple and see they find each other attractive, switch households for a bit, come back and suddenly one half finds the other unattractive and the other half finds the other basic looking or something - from what? Why? Especially since I initially set up their preferences to be based off romantic partners! I really only care about setting a sim's gender preference anyway, so I usually do that first, then turn off the Attractiveness feature all together.  It'a a shame the system doesn't function the way we all expect it should.

Same issue. I love rotational play in sims 4 and my sims' preferences keep getting reset. I hope TURBODRIVER can fix this issue soon.
