thanks for your help! please see the report attached  

Thanks. Much appreciated... Though I can't reproduce the error.
Based on the log, what looks to me that the trigger was that the sim was trying pick up a figurine from world, and list it on Plopsy, then something happened. ?

 

Was this error a one-off happening, or can you reproduce it reliably?

no its every time I try to post it on plopsy (if that is what it is called  I play the game in another language :D) I tried from my inventory and just from the world. When trying from my inventory I get a 'animation error' see BE report

I will try to restart my game too and see if it still happens....

hmm... I see.

Your log says you're using a MAC, so just to rule out that it's not a bug with the game, can you try something for me?

Craft a wooden sculpture on the woodworking table, or paint a painting on the easel, then try listing them on Plopsy to see if that produces the same error or not.

• If those items produce the same error, then it's either a bug related to the MAC version, or one of your other installed mods is doing something to Plopsy that causes some sort of incompatibility with CinErotique.
• If those objects do not produce the same error, then try the files I've sent to you in PM to see if that solves it.

EDIT: It's entirely and 100% an issue with the mod > See post

BUG ALERT - PLOPSY INTEGRATION

 

Upon further testing I've discovered several - some quite serious issues - regarding the Plopsy integration of selling CinErotique collectibles.

The issues seems to run quite deep, and I'm not sure if I can even fix them, so I've made the executive decision that starting from the next framework update, I will disable the whole Plopsy integration for all the custom items that is included with the mod (figurines, etc.).
TBH, it's not a big loss, as it's basically just selling items with extra steps, so I'm not really heartbroken about losing it. ?

 

Framework update will (probably) released sometimes tomorrow to address the issues.

Totally agree.

[PECO]

MOD FRAMEWORK UPDATED TO v7.0e (2023-JULY-16):

• Fixed some animation related bugs that produced LE errors while opening figurine or swagboxes in the rare case when the user did not have the free Holiday Pack (FP01) DLC pack installed.
• Fixed a minor issue, where the autonomous watch interaction sometime automatically cancelled out on TVs that don't have an active CinErotique subscription or have the Super Reception upgrade completed on them.
• Removed the Plopsy integration for custom objects. It turned out to be too unreliable, causing LE errors and possibly stuck objects in the inventory.
  (TBH, this is not a big loss, as it was basically just selling items with extra steps, so I'm not really heartbroken about removing it. ?)
• In general cleaned up and optimized parts of the code.

Files affected by this update:

• BASE_FRAMEWORK_PECO_CinErotique.package 
• BASE_FRAMEWORK_PECO_CinErotique.ts4script
• MODULES folder / all 7 PECO_MODULE_TVCHANNEL_xxxxx.packages files

So I know you just updated the mod and I had just updated it, but now this popps up and I had tried to see if it was other mods so I did it as a standalone and this once more popped up. What have I done wrong?

I've restarted the game like 50 times today while testing the new version, but to be sure that my upload didn't get corrupted I've just downloaded the mod and all the videos from here, and it works just fine... so it's something at your end.

 

First of all, I'm gonna make the assumption that your game is legit and it's up to date. If either of that is not true, then I can't really help.

 

• Make sure you've properly followed the install instructions.
• First try to have just the framework installed, don't add any extra videos to the mod folder, and see if the game start that way, but ultimately you might have to re-downloading the files again, LL can be quite finicky on the weekends, maybe one of the files got corrupted when you've downloaded it.
• The game not starting at all is usually a sign of a corrupted file OR sometimes people download all sorts of CC without looking and not noticing that they added CC that is actually for the Sims 3. That could also block game start as well.
• Could also be an issue with pending OneDrive syncing of your Documents folder, I can't really say much about this, as I don't use it, but you might wanna check this video out, maybe it could help. (personally, my money is on this one being the culprit)

So my game is legit and up-to-date and I tired what you recommend. The framework worked as well as the modules. The problem arose with the videos only. All videos. Tried each folder and the same results came out. So mod folder(framework) works. Videos, broken...

So, you're going to be annoyed by this but, I found out what was wrong. The videos, I put them in their own folders. That was it. Once I took them out, everything worked as normal. So yea....

What you exactly mean by this? The videos are just package files, where they are in the Mods folder shouldn't matter, as long as they are less then 5 folders deep, but even then, they would just not get loaded, but AFAIK even then they still shouldn't cause any trouble.

 

EDIT: For future reference, we found out what the problem was. The reason is that "non-legit" bold serif unicode characters were used in the folder names where the package files were placed into (ex: ??????????? ?????? - ?????? ), and while Windows has no problem with those file or folder names, the Sims4 engine on the other hand certainly does.

hi PECO! I've only discovered your awesome mod in April this year. I've been getting all your updates for it since, and with each new update, i'd fully delete the entire folder with old versions from /Mods, and appropriately install the new one in its place. However, i seem to have a different issue than others here.

 

In the version that was out in april, i've had the ability to purchase purity and gold cards. Since the mid-may update, the gold card is absolutely nowhere to be found. CC is enabled in-game, search option doesn't pick it up anywhere, not even with CC filter. Any other CC, namely your satelite dish and WickedWhims CC, is shown. As is purity card. Reverting to a start-of-may save where my couple had the cards each, one is missing his gold card, while the other has his purity card. Rn I have all the other abilities your mod offers, including rewards system, attn span, figurines and magazines, the shop, the swag box, etc. Was the gold card removed? I've reinstalled the last update (not today's, the one before) of the mod with everything in full at least 3 different times, no card  got the updated videos too as i only get 5 or 6, so it's easy to redownload. Everything in /Mods was placed per your instructions.

 

 

my game is legit, albeit a handful of DLCs only (holiday pack included). WW, MCCC are both up-to-date. I've only not gotten your update from 3 hrs ago as I'm delaying the latest patch until i see online what did they break with it, so i'm on the second-to-last game patch. but everything works well, other mods too, and your mod, just no card.

This is not a bug, but it's entirely intentional.

Since v7.x the Gold Membership Card is non purchasable, and has been moved to being a reward item that your sim will receive after a certain - cumulative - amount of watch-time they've have spent on watching any CinErotique channel (watching VODs count as well). The first 2 level rewards are receiving 1 & 3 Swag boxes respectively, and the Gold Card comes after that.
Think about it as a skill, and your sim is slowly leveling it up by watching TV, even though the progress bar is hidden for it.

Buuuut... if you really can't wait to acquire it in a "legal" way...

Spoiler

Use this cheat console command, it should spawn a card into the active sim's inventory (WickedWhims is needed for it to work):

ww.create_object 13302599320596279556 inventory

 

PS: by the way, you don't need to re-download and update the individual video package files as well every time the framework has an update. They are pretty future proof, and if they ever need to be updated, I will specifically say it so. ?

Ahh, thank you so much for explaining. Now I feel the need to deeply apologize for asking in the first place. I was doing all the updating, but far less playing and exploring as I've been hospitalized a few times in the last month and a half. It never occured for me to check the rewards system. I'm keeping this in mind for following weeks when I get to play again. I'm truly sorry once again, thank you for all you do!

Absolutely no need to apologize, it was a perfectly valid question to ask why an item that was previously there, isn't anymore.

The reason for this is that it turns out that if someone tries to copy-paste the old serif unicode ???? ????????? file dividers names i used in the download section, and tries to use them as folder names, then Sims4 will not load. So to avoid even the possibility of this ever happening again, I've changed the separator file names to boring old standard ASCII... sure, they don't look that "cool" anymore, but now at least they're 100% safe for copy-pasting. ?

 

Reminds me when I copypasted a mod name from the site, which also copied a hidden line break code, which was not visible in the folder name (except that the folder would sort weirdly unalphabetically), but would prevent the folder from being loaded by the game. Might be strictly an issue on Linux, not sure how Windows would handle such a scenario, but I only figured it out when some exception handlers would log this and would show the little bit of extra code in the path.

Hi hi, I have a household of addicts that prior to update would frequently (near always) watch the CinE channels, however since update they have no interest at all and just watch the default channels if anything. 

I have removed all old CinE files and installed only what was in v7.0f, problem persists, though likely something I am overlooking I would be interested if anyone else might be having this same issue?

I've toned down the porn channel autonomy desirability in the last update, maybe I went too far with it.
i'm working on a new - more customizable - autonomy system right now, so in the future tv watching preferences can be tailor-made on a sim level, but for the meantime:

• if you want your sims to watch a lot of porn, you can give them the "Porn Maniac" trait (click on sim > Set Porn Preferences > Personality traits > Turn this sim into a Porn Maniac),
• or you can roll back to the previous framework version, it should still be fine, as very little changed for the new patch.
  (it might generate some superficial errors, but it will not break your game doing so)

Oh Maniac is what i meant not addict, my bad, they are all Maniac. I removed trait, saved/closed and deleted cache, relaunched then enabled again, remains the same. 

Issue isnt game breaking at all so no drama. I will maybe try the rollback suggestion.

I appreciate the fast response, thank you PECO

Hmmm... that's strange. I didn't touch the Porn Maniac part in the update (and just checked, it works perfectly fine for me with the latest v7.0f as well)...

• Make sure that porn is enabled on the target TV either through subscriptions or having a CineSAT satellite dish placed on the lot. (check if your sim can manually choose one of the CE channels and/or VODs)
• You can also try to remove the Porn Maniac trait, use "Save as" to save your game as a new save, restart, load back the new save you've made, and add back the traits.
  (I know it doesn't make much sense, but I seen this problem before once, and in that case "Save as"-ing solved the problem, simply saving did not.)

EDIT: Actually, just tested the thing with just the vanilla base game with all DLC disabled, and in that case the trait indeed not working properly... I'm trying to investigate which DLC the problem can be connected to. Will update if I find out anything.

 

EDIT2: I narrowed it down to Movie Hangout Pack (SP05). Trait seems to be working when the pack is installed, but it stoppes working when the pack is not turned on.

 

EDIT3: Okay, I don't know the exact problem yet, but it's something I've changed in the code between v7.0d and v7.0e. I have the suspicion that it has something to do with the code streamlining I made to the channel modules in between those versions. Probably messed up a test condition for the autonomy somewhere... Anyway, shouldn't be too hard to fix the thing, I just have to compare the changes I've made.

oh, that checks out, movie hangout is not a dlc i have, if that helps confirm anything your end.
