Cauldron Routing Issues

I am also having this issue. I took MCCC out (only mod I use, no CC) and the issue remains. I already hit Me Too   😊

From poking around in the Python code, it seems that in the crafting.crafting_process.CraftingProcess class, the property _paying_sim is being set to None as soon as the code assumes no further payment is necessary — but the method crafting.crafting_process.CraftingProcess.check_is_affordable, which is called when resuming, errors out if _paying_sim is set to None.

The following snippet (together with the standard injector.py library used by the modding community) allows me to resume crafting potions; I haven't tested enough to know if there are side-effects.

import crafting.crafting_process
import injector

@injector.inject_to(crafting.crafting_process.CraftingProcess, 'check_is_affordable')
def check_is_affordable_override(original, self):
    if self._paying_sim is None:
        return True
    else: return original(self)

@crinrictAh..this is same issue i am having. I tried to cook mac and cheese in the cauldron in the realm of magic and my sim auto-cancels out of the interaction while in the middle of cooking....then my sim does this weird t-pose thing. I have another post about this. I asked the moderators to merge it since i think this is same issue...

After doing quite a fire bit of testing, I can say that my cauldron routing issue is caused by teleport system update on the mist and bat teleport.

Firstly, I've found out that teleporthere-vampire_mist and teleporthere-vampire_bat were scrapped and replaced with vampires_spiritpowers_flyasbat and vampires_spiritpowers_teleportasmist. This update was not mentioned in the patch notes. (Basically the teleporthere-vampire_mist and teleporthere-vampire_bat uses the GoHereSuperInteraction to teleport, however the update now uses TeleportStyleSuperInjection instead)

Secondly, from my experience modding, I've remembered that the Spell Teleport have testset distance of 7 which disallow the caster to teleport. However I do believe that the mist and bat teleport do not have any form of testset distance which could be the issue as they kept on teleporting on very short distances, which with the old system would have them walk.

So I decided to write a small mod to test this, and using the system did show that the updated mist and bat teleport system was the issue.

The current workaround is: Vampires with Bat or Mist Teleport Enabled OR Spellcasters with Mist or Bat Teleport Enabled (Applies to Vampiric Teleport Spells) MUST disable their teleportation before using the cauldron otherwise they will LEs will generate and the Sim will cancel the interaction.

@dimon6579 This is about resuming potions making, not cooking mac and cheese. Your LE is different so I'm not sure yours is the same issue.

Maybe it's connected but not merging.

A very quick fix is to add a TestSet to the teleport interactions to test the distance and stop the issue. (I have tested this and it does stop the interactions getting cancelled.)

resume making potions resets the sim,

i'm not able to let the sim who started the potion resume making it

I don't normally play with spellcasters so I don't know how long it's been an issue, but I am having this same problem. If a potion brew gets interrupted it it impossible to resume. It just resets the sim. I have to discard and start over, but this loses the ingredients. Incredibly frustrating.

I haven't played a spellcaster since the pack came out.  I decided to start a family of them tonight and I'm having the same issue for both characters.  Luckily it was just a couple apples lost, but it's frustrating for sure.
