My Played Household Suddenly Gone Missing

[Ekariski]

@crinrict No, after having the issue I immediately exit the game. When I jump back into the game, it's already broken. It only affected mine.

@JKK_Xtreme Hey, it actually work. Thanks a lot, dude. This is one freaky bug.

[crinrict]

@Ekariski This is caused by outdated mods and not a bug. It's important that you update your mods before playing with them.

I'm merging this with the master thread

@lotte-huizing I merged your post with the master thread on this.

Please exit the game without saving, then remove your incompatible mods (see first page) and try again.

Always make sure your cc/mods matches the current patch level. Either update stuff that's not compatible or remove it.

@crinrict I just took all my mods out though and it still happened. Also I just played in her family home where her parents and brother still are and she isn’t even in the family’s genealogy anymore.

@lotte-huizing Did you save your game while having the mods in ? If so, you'll need to load a backup.

[lotte-huizing]

@crinrict I saved the game when I was still playing with that sim, but when I logged back in I didn’t. But once I removed the mods the sim was still gone.

@lotte-huizing Try if you have a working backup

@crinrictI managed to track down NOT the mod causing it in my game but the moment this problem is happening... I had a mod to make the royalties be given only Friday, it was not causing the problem, but it was masking it. the problem in my game happens when a Sim that's supposed to get the royalties is in the household, the moment the royalties are meant to be given, an LE is generated by the game that among other things, tells me that the error happens when it tries to _update_cached_home_lot_value and run a Simoleon Test. Now the LE mentions a Mod, but it doesn't seem to be the problem. I managed to make a save just before the Error once I found out the time it was happening, took out all mods and verified that the error was not happening, then quit without save and put the mods back one folder at time, each time verifying if the error was going to happen at the same time, but even this way, I couldn't reproduce it even though I put back exactly the same mods I had when the error was generated.

- Some more finding:

the LE doesn't happen right away on loading the household.

the LE is happening for me only on one family of the 2 I'm playing right now. Now, one of the sims inside the household was in the other household before, and I though I fixed the issue by removing mods in the other one, while in fact I had solved the issue by removing the Sim.

the LE happens always on adding/removing founds from the household.

now what that sim has different from the other sims in both the household was a career and a bank account. He doesn't have a career anymore since he got fired, I now tried to close the bank account and remove the mod (that's the one in the LE) to see if something changes.

removing the mod makes the LE disappear but not the problem.

noextramoneyonpromotion_v2 by Bienchen has absolutely nothing to do with this problem in my game, apparently.

Alright, so when the LE happens, the problem already occurred... the bank mod gets caught in, but I think it fails to update that thing about money because the household is already gone. The problem may not have to do with money at all.
