Wicked Whims Exceptions

[physaru]

I'm new to modding the Sims 4 and I keep getting this Wicked Whims exception when I load into the game. I've tried everything I could find to fix the problem but nothing works.

If you have MS WIndows OneDrive installed it prevents WW from loading the data it needs.

 

You have to either uninstall OneDrive or un-sync it from your Sims 4 folder in My Documents.

Thank you for the quick reply. I un-synced the folder from the OneDrive but it still makes the exceptions. I also tried unlinking my computer from the OneDrive but that didn't help either. It's currently the only mod I have installed.

Did you restart your PC afterwards?

Then delete your localthumbcache.pkg in your TS4 folder.

You will also need to download some animations for WW to use.

 

Might be a permissions setting too if the game files aren't allowed to access the saves folder.

 

But since you logged in as Admin, permissions are all enabled usually.

 

I'd check security settings for Wicked Whims access anyway.

I restarted and deleted the localthumbcache.pkg. Adding some animations caused the in-game error message telling me an exception file was made to continuously pop up where as before it would pop up and I could close it and it wouldn't return. How would I check the security settings for Wicked Whims access?

I'm on Win7 so others might be differrent.

 

Find the folder with the 2 WW files named TURBODRIVER

Select on one and right click to find the properties tab

Security Settings is on the upper tab now opened so select that.

It should show all users permissions for full access, read/write, etc.

 

Just do the same thing with both files to check them.

 

Don't know what else to try other than uninstalling OneDrive completely.

[physaru]

They both had full permission. I completely uninstalled OneDrive and restarted, but unfortunately the error still occurred.  Hopefully someone else might come along who can help.

I found out what was causing me the issue. I had set my Electric Arts folder as a hidden folder which caused Python to receive the PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied error when it tried to use the files.

That will do it, good job finding it.

I would have been pulling my hair out.

I am also having the same issue. Can you please provide a link to the wicked whims mod version you used and how you went about rectifying the issue, please
