[OPEN] Game Crashing when Placing Retails/Lots with mannequins

[Welmester]

Have the same issue with mannequins... Please fix the issue... Frustrating.

Until the latest update, I've had no problem placing lots from the gallery into other lots. Now, I've been trying to load a reno of Darby's Den (Discover University), and the game closes every single time!

I don't have any of the broken mods listed in the Patch notes. Mine mostly affect CAS and Sim behavior, nothing from build mode. I own all the packs except Journey to Batuu, and I own about half the Kits.

My game is crashing in Build Mode! I try to place a Lot from the gallery, and it just instantly closes; no error warning or anything!

Do you use mods and custom content for your game? 

[crinrict]

@lambcaey I merged your post with the main thread. To be sure, does the lot have any mannequins ? Please first page on how to find out.

There is a thread for lots without mannequins so if it doesn't have any, I'll move this to that thread.

[lambcaey]

Nope. It was a reno of Darby's Den made with the moveobjects cheat.

@lambcaey Yours or someone elses ?

Hey @crinrict I again today had that error that seems to be connected with the mannequin lots, here are the repro steps:

1. I went from the world mode -> into build mode of the original bottom right lot of Magnolia Promenade, which is one of the lots that has mannequins. I didn't change anything there, I just went in and looked around and went out of build mode again into the world.

2. Then I went into starting to play with my Sim who was in a different world and used the phone travel option to travel to this magnolia promenade retail lot. 

3. After the loading screen I got an error popup with the 123:13b8a5f:3046c823 Error. 

This time I wanted to see what happens if i don't restart my game right after, and tried to load the same Sim again, and it let me in, but logged an exception, I copied it in case it gives you more info to debug. Let me know if you are interested in the error log, and how I should best send it to you.

This is the short version:

And forgot to mention: Some of these mannequins were in a "sold out" state when I tried to enter the lot.

Maybe that plays a role in the error, as I saw one of the lines in the detailed error says:

File 'D:\Projects\Sims 4 Modding\Mods\TMex Mods 2020\Tmex-BetterExceptions\tmex_BetterExceptions_Hooks.py', line 146, in tm_be_class_exceptions [ target : <function Logger.exception at 0x1589fe3b0>, self : <sims4.log.Logger object at 0x123929750>, message : Exception raised while processing zone spin up sequence: {}, args : (AttributeError("'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_fallback_outfit_category'"),), item : 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_fallback_outfit_category']

Yes! I just verified: When i delete the mannequins that have no clothes on (are in that sold out state) before I enter the lot, the error popup doesn't appear anymore!
