Extended Phone Calls

A chill day off and I made this 70's style modern take on my dream home.

STRAUD - A VAMPIRE STORY.

Prev || Next || Beginning

Transcript under cut:

A few weeks ago.

[Carmilla, off-screen:] I am not sure I understand.

Vladislaus: It is simple, truly. The Vatores have been reckless in their disrespect of the rules I have set in place, for all of our sakes. Caleb in particular has been vocal about his ideas of 'coexisting' with mortals. He says our way of living is ... barbaric.

[Off-Screen, Vladislaus:] So I need you to seduce the young Mister Vatore, to keep him loyal to the Straud name.

Vladislaus: Put those selfsame talents you used onto me, and make him want you, like the beautiful prize you are.

Current day.

Vladislaus: Miss Vatore, would you tell me of your travel to Italy? I do miss her dearly.

[Lilith, off-screen:] Oh, it's beautiful this time of year. The waves are a gorgeous azure color, the beaches ...

Caleb: !!!

[Caleb, in low tones:] Mistress Vatore, what- ... ?

[Carmilla, in low tones:] Do not make it so obvious.

Lilith: ... and of course, one cannot overstate how delightful the food is.

Vladislaus: It sounds like you've had a very enjoyable time, away from the Hollow ... Miss Vatore, do you know why I've said travel is to be avoided ?

Lilith: Master Straud ...

Vladislaus: The world of the mortals is beyond us, now. It is beyond dangerous, any mistake there is a death sentence. Here, you are safe, you are cared for.

Caleb: Master, if I may-

Vladislaus: You may not. Too long have you both disregarded the rules I have laid out for you. One day, you will make a mistake, and it will cost you your very life.

All: ...

Vladislaus: Now, about that dinner ...

hi there Marilou Jean Smith 🤎🎧

Someone take away that entire blender file I DONT NEED THIS MANY PINK MORGYNS

Sike yes I do.

BEWARE of Residential Rentals!

I went to place a lot yesterday and my entire savefile suddenly corrupted. I realized it was corrupted because after I placed any lot, all of the other lots in my game reset to the original version of them. They all looked fine from world mode, but once loaded into any lot the issue persisted. Read more about these issue here.

I rolled back the save and it was fine so I decided to try and remove the entire pack and see what would happen. After removing the pack, I could place new lots and the game was fine. Which meant for me the issue is FOR RENT.

I was nowhere near the limit of residential rental lot nor did I use any cheats to have more than six units per lot. I was not placing a residential lot when it corrupted. So far it seems fine to add the pack back and just avoid the lot type.

TLDR: Removing FOR RENT prevented my savefile from corrupting when placing new lots. The steps I used to stabilize my savefile are below.

Hope this helps!

Steps to remove For Rent:

1. Use this to load the game without For Rent. 2. Follow this if you end up with two different Tomarang Worlds when you load the pack back into the game. I did. 3. Remove each residential rental lot. I set them all to residentials. 4. Replace all of your household outfits that got messed up. Otherwise some sims will be nakie.

Tips:

Backups: Helps if you have backups of your households and lots in your trayfiles. Fixing outfits: If you don't care about relationships you can delete and replace or use MCCC to copy and paste the outfits back on the sim. Or if you have a dresser file, run that for new outfits.

This has happened to me a few times, but this was the first time I decided to see if I could role back the game, avoid the corruption, and restore my savefile.
