MonocoDoll's Vile Ventures

[Loveternity]

@ananas1234 Goodness! I thought I had a lot of mods but you've humbled me haha!

I highly recommend using Delphy's Dashboard. It is not infallible, it can give false positives, but it shows you where there might be an issue.

 

A good example is that it will show the DrugDealingMod package conflicting with olomaya's Smoking Mod package. Interestingly I don't see that in your mods. In any case, that's one of the first things I asked @MonocoDoll about and that's a false positive; however, even in the case of it being an actual conflict it would be easy enough to resolve by putting the mod you want to "win" the conflict in your Overrides folder. That's basically the purpose of that folder; to make sure the mods in there are not interfered with.

Also curious that you have ccmerged.package in both Overrides and Packages.

Ah @Chrissy90 and I posted at the same time haha, good advice there too!

It's a good thing we did! I didn't even notice ccmerged.package in packages as well! Good eye!

And you think that's a lot of mods? My mods folder is 26 GB 😎Okay, this isn't a flex. It's a problem. LOL

[MonocoDoll]

You guys are crazy. My mods/CC folder is only like 9GB-10GB 😊

[Loveternity]

3.43 GB in DCCache (includes store stuff), 2.36 GB in Mods. Huh, I guess I don't have that much stuff haha!

[ananas1234]

Thank you all for all your the fast responds, but nothing works. First of all I didnt think i had a lot of mod because the file is less than one gb...lol. Secondly, I had a lot more mods but when I had the viles venturs on downloaded and started playing for that one whole day I noticed lagging in saving so I decided to use delveys dashboard and I deleted anything that was conflicting and after that I was unable to play again. I am at complete loss. But again thanks for trying, much appreciated. The mod was amazing though even for one day.

 

Update: found the older version and it seems to be working

Hi there!  I'm not sure if this has been requested yet, but could you make a light version of this mod which doesn't require use of the arms dealing mod?  Would be very interested in the mod if not for the weapons system.

Ah... I think I see the issue. Dashboard reports olomaya's mod as a conflict with this one and that's a false positive. So it appears you've deleted the smoking mod, try including it again.

If the conflict makes you suspicious that it might be breaking something, you could simply put Ventures in overrides so that it "wins" the conflict.

Good evening!. First, thank you so much for the mod and the updates!

I just updated the mod version from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1. I followed the MonocoDoll's Vile Ventures 1.1.0 (Installation Guide).pdf and updated the third party mods. My cannabis plants and the seeds don't have name. It's strange because when I buy them legally, they show the name in the shop list. In the inventory is not showing. What could be the issue? I have the game in Spanish.

The good news is that it's not your fault, you haven't made a mistake.  

Some non-english strings are missing, shouldn't be hard to fix.

[Loveternity]

@VOID.aka I gave it a go myself, was easier than I thought. Let me know if this works.

OMG! You are a genius! Now I have the names that was missing. Thank you so much!!

This is currently my favorite mod. I was wondering will you add the ability for sims to autonomously buy drugs from your sim. Even its just by phone.

I just got the Sims 3 and this is the first mod I'm adding to the game but every time I put it in the packages folder it crashes my game. Is there an updated version somewhere, or can I get an older version? I downloaded the zip file and extracted it right into my packages folder

It's very likely that you're missing required mods. Did you read the installation guide? There's a lot of other mods that are required for this one.

Hi! I found a bug. Sometimes, when sims smoke cigarettes (olomaya mod), they get forever stuck smoking. I should reset sim so they stop it. When I delete VV the problem disappears. I think it has something to do with these two mods overriding. But I like both of them! Please can you fix it in the next update? Or maybe I fucked up somewhere idk, I have all 3rd party mods up to date though

@MonocoDoll can correct me if I'm wrong, but the conflict reported by dashboard is a false positive.

Just in case I'm wrong, I'd try the following: put Ventures in your Overrides folder, launch game, try smoking. If you manage to reproduce the bug exit the game, put Ventures back into Mods, put olomaya's mod in Overrides and try again.

You said it happens sometimes, so it might be a pain to reproduce.

Sadly I tried both ways and nothing worked

I'm able to reproduce it well when I create an obselete family in a testing world and make them chainsmoke (cancel the action and smoke again). But when I don't cancel they also get stuck..... It seems random and I have no idea why it happens, because I looked through the whole damn internet and it looks like I'm the only one having this issue. It's like they can smoke 10 times and it will be fine, and on the 11th they're stuck. Or they're stuck just after the 1st time! Not game-ruining but super annoying, as I have to reset sim every time. Only deleting VV helps for now, but I adore this mod and I don't want to play without it! 

 

I also tried to delete all nraas mods but it didn't help. I even tried reinstalling the game. Maybe I should experiment with deleting some other mods idk. It may be a cross-conflict, but it's very strange, I never had something like this before. Like wtf am I really the only one?

Like wtf literally no one has this bug, only me O_o

Since it's so random and not easy to reproduce it could be that it's not just you. I haven't had my Sims smoke much in my game so it makes sense I haven't run into this bug, might be the case for most players.

And I know the pain, I found a bug with getting arrested that I couldn't reproduce and @MonocoDoll simply happened to run into the same bug months later by chance and fixed it.

I'll try to have my Sims smoke more and keep an eye on them.

Thank you so much! I really hope it will be fixed.

@Anna Rowley No luck so far but I've only tried 10 cigarettes so who knows. Have you left the tunable settings as default? I shortened the smoking duration to 10, default was 30 (I play with NRaas Relativity so 30 felt way too long), but I should try having the same settings as you to see if I can replicate the bug.

10 sigs may be too small to understand, depending on your luck. I took 2 sims and made each of them chainsmoke the whole pack. Sometimes just one of them got stuck on a last cigarette. 

 

Btw, I did some more testing by removing other mods but nothing helped. The problem is really in VV it seems. Idk what else, except this bug my game (including all other mods) functions perfectly. I have all EPs and I don't have KW or any other risky or potentially incompatible mods.

 

I tuned some other stuff through s3pe, like moodlet length and consequences. Also edited number of cigarettes in pack but it made no sense to the game for some reason, it stayed 10 😐. I think it doesn't really matter though, because I tried the default version of mod and bug stayed here... However I'll try tuning time, maybe it helps, because the problem is that action becomes endless sometimes. Did you use nraas retuner or sims3pe?

I used retuner. I didn't change the amount of cigarettes per pack, I'll try that next time. And yeah my test of 10 cigarettes was a small sample, I had my Sim smoke the first 4 in different situations: standing up, sitting down, smoking in front of a parent (Sim is a teen), smoking out in public, didn't get stuck. Then chain-smoked 6 more and the pack was gone without the bug appearing.

Time will tell.

[Clover256]

For what it's worth, I've been having this smoking bug with olomaya's smoking mod and this mod for a bit myself - I've also had her vaporizer make a Sim reset and delete itself before. I figured it was a me problem cause I've never seen anyone else ever talk about it lol

[Anna Rowley]

Well, tuning didn't help. My main game sim got stuck after the 3rd cigarette! Super annoying
