Sim suddenly disliking yellow

[heja]

I don't know what is to blame here - may not even be a mod! - but my Sim occasionally, out of nowhere, and without warning, decides he does not like the color yellow. Then, later, he suddenly decides it's not so bad after all. It appears - and disappears - from his CAS preferences at completely arbitrary times. (I can, of course, FORCE it off by going into CAS mode.) I feel like something - no idea what - is trying to apply or remove a specific trait, and winds up applying and removing the "dislikes yellow" trait by mistake.

 

The trait has ID 000000000003EF45 (257861 in decimal), for what it's worth. I've checked every mod that should be applying or removing traits, and none have a trait with that ID. But a random mod might be misconfigured, or maybe there's a mod I missed? Heck, maybe there's a clothing item with that ID, though I don't know why that would affect traits.

 

So why bring this up here, if I don't know that WickedWhims is necessarily to blame? Because it messes with my Sim's attractiveness settings! As soon as dodongo dislikes yellow, he also gains a WW dislike of Sims wearing the color yellow. And when the trait gets auto-removed, this hatred of yellow clothing remains. And the Sims he finds attractive get wildly reshuffled each time. Sure, I can change it, but why is it happening in the first place?

 

Frankly, if not for that, I'd ignore it, as I don't even know what effects a Sim's like or dislike of a color has in the base game.

 

Anyone seen anything like this? Any insight into what might cause it? I'd love to just disable half my mods to narrow it down, but without knowing what action it is that triggers his sudden hatred or apathy toward yellow, it would be kind of a shot in the dark.

 

I have seen this on two separate Sims. One had no CAS preferences enabled; the other had a few, including liking the color green.

Couple of us here have had this before because of WW adding the new Likes/Dislikes into the Mod.

Totally random bug also with the color yellow. 

 

2 ways to fix it...

Disable WW Attractions

Disable WW Likes/Dislikes with an optional Mod

 

WickedWhims_DisableCASLikes.package

That mod does nothing useful. At first glance it appears to unlink color preference from outfit attractive preference, but removing the "dislikes yellow clothing" attractive setting does not persist unless I also clear his dislike of yellow.

I think the idea was to prevent WW from assigning or using likes/dislikes in attractions after you've removed them.

But since the game might assign them to sims at random you might see them in CAS later but WW should not be attaching them to Attractions any more automatically.

You might also have to go into the WW Attractions settings to remove their likes/dislikes after you remove them from CAS.
