Dynchia Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 EK! I am having some major issues. By long standing policy, I do not update my Sims game till after I know my mads have either been cleared or been update, or at least the important ones. Most seems to have survive this last update. Those that I have discovered have not, I have download the updates and have them ready to install. Some mods seem to be up in the air, some people say they are fine, others are reporting problems. I got to thinking and finally decided I needed to install TS4 on another system. One so I could test these mods out myself, two because I am starting to mod myself. (Recently manage to fix a custom career I downloaded and use which had broke back over the ECO update.) Three, I have some mods from a modder who recently announced he is retiring will no longer be updating his mods. (Need to test them big time.) I got TS4 installed over the weekend, it was a fight since I kept losing connection. Finally got installed and for safity because of the issue I had downloading and installing, did a repair which had no issues. I then copy over my save game folder, my mod folder, and my tray folder and then installed the updates to mods I had updates for. Ran TS4 and loaded a game. Got a notice from MCCC about an LE, a couple in fact. Also got an LE from S4CL. lastException.txt BE-ExceptionReport.html Sims4CommunityLib_Exceptions.txt But it nothing compare to what I was seeing on screen. Almost ALL of my furniture was GONE! Here is a shot from my main system which has NOT been updated to the latest patch. I know what everyone is going to say, I must have some bad CC somewhere in my content. I am going to start a long search though all of my CC to try and find the problem CC but I do have a lot. I am hoping someone out there might have some idea what specificly is causing this. (My problem with my spellcasters having no faces in CAS was the result of an CC eyebrow. Discovered that before I started checking all my mods so I was able to focus specificly on those.)
Captain Rondo Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 It's not a problem with custom content . Since the Eco Living update a lot is buggy , that's the reason why I have not play the game over 1 month . The Sims team is trying to fix the issues , and the have release already 3 little patches but the game has still many big bugs . In this video you can here about many glitches : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHWS8_7gfWs

Dynchia Posted July 28, 2020 Author Posted July 28, 2020 Thanks you guys, this help. I knew about some of the ECO bugs that why I never brought it. I had no problem with the ECO patch itself. This happen when I installed the latest patch which I believe is suppose to be the pre-Niffty Knitting patch since it is due to be released tomorrow. Looks like I will not be buying it any time soon. <growls> I am SO glad that I finally got around to setting up a test machine for testing new patches and currently in use mods/CC. At least my active game machine is funtional, even if it is not totally up to date.
Dynchia Posted July 29, 2020 Author Posted July 29, 2020 Ugh, almost done checking out all of my mods and CC. Found one item that somehow I did not update after the Niffty patch. Also found a collection that kept giving me werid results. A TS3>TS4 confersion. The first 3 times I tried to load with them, 2 of them allow me to get all the way to the loading game after selecting which save I wanted. (One of them locked up during the game loading I guess, all I know is although I had music playing and task manager shows it was active, Visually I had no game screen. It was like it was stuck in minize mood.) Interesting enough, the 4th time that loaded with it in, I was able to enter the save without question. <scratches head> I still went ahead and removed them. The item: Al Fresco Street Market Set 3t4 Conversion - 2016-05-22 Here's what I would get when I selected a save and try and load it. There was another window but I kept closing it before taking a screen cap. Thats why O loaded the game so many times.
Dynchia Posted July 29, 2020 Author Posted July 29, 2020 Ok, during the pull replace, I discovered that one of my mods had a update which I missed. Replaced it and continue, eventually discovered some TS3>TS4 conversions that was causing issues has well, so I pulled them because they had no update posted. Now everything seems to be working just fine. All of my missing furniture has returned.

After any sims 4 code was update. All those items get broken.

Oops19 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 This update included a fix to satisfy masochstic needs ;( It introduced many bugs, at least for me. Often I can no longer save the game, travelling to a location causes fatal errors / game could not be loaded and restart recommended. And objects disappear - I made a path with roughly 100 stones to find only 7 left after re-loading. I got many exceptions from script mods but removing the mods didn't fix a thing. Of course there may be broken CC packages but identifying them may be very hard, I have at least 20 GB in my mods folder. I may spend some days cleaning the CC items. The script mods are up2date even though I start hating all mod creators which are releasing more than one update/month

I repaired the game and loaded the savegame again. Traveling to X and jackpot: I really did not want to save and load it before traveling even though this may have removed all remaining bogus data. I just started the 7th new game within a week - with all mods enabled again - and up to now it works fine. But if the crash is related to buffs or traits which are stored in-game I may play Sims 3.

Usually almost all extra mods add a folder to saves like Nissa or WW, maybe delete that from saves an configuration files works to fix the problem
