Consignment store bug
« on: July 13, 2013, 12:25:09 AM »
I thought this bug had been fixed but apparently not.

The consignment register in SV is completely bugged. Either of the following happens when I try to sell my sims' stuff: I can queue the action, my sim starts the interaction and then drops it, or sometimes I can't even interact with it at all.

II know this bug is usually caused by unsold items not going back to the sim's inventory, or by having seeds in the sim's inventory, but I'm playing a new save file, my sim has never consigned anything and she doesn't have any seeds in inventory either. It's a challenge save file so I can't do much to fix it, but I created a new file just to check what happened. The new file is also bugged, and I tried resetSim, resetSim *, deleting the register and bulldozing the whole store to put a new one. Nothing works. I would install Overwatch if I could but that's not an option for now. Any tips?  ???

I normally play SV and have not had this problem.

I appreciate that there are strict limits on what you can do to fix this.  As you have tried bulldozing and replacing the store, and replacing the till, the only other thing I can think of is to do a factory reset.  It might sort it out.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I could live without the consignment store during the challenge, but I still need to fix the bug for othe saves anyway. I just noticed that the Alchemy register is also bugged  >:(.

Weird, I usually don't experience too many bugs in my game, except some minor things that get fixed with resetSim. Now I started a challenge I seem to be getting all the existing bugs together!

Try clearing your caches.  See if that works.  You could have a script gone wrong screwing them up.

I had just done that yesterday before loading the game. Weird, though: my DCBackup was empty except for the ccmerged file, and I've been playing a lot these days without cleaning it. I've actually been building a lot, which in my not-very-tech-savvy experience increases the amount of files in that folder.

I just deleted the simcompositorcache and the other cache files again though. I will check if that makes a difference.

Thanks  :)

I don't know if you fixed this or not yet, but just sounds like a pathing issue within the store to me. Things I would try. Instead of deleting and replacing the entire lot with another copy, try redesigning the counter areas and also deleting and replacing just the register. Also I have all kinds of consignment store glitches when my sim is in the self-employed career of nectar maker.
