Can't Build Plumbots in Overstuffed Households (Even With Mods)

[Timz0207]

I am having trouble creating a plumbot in my overstuffed (8 sim) household. I have Master Controller installed, which should and does allow overstuffed households. I have a sim and their career is the Bot Builder. She can use the bot building machine - she can even buy a plumbot from the bot building place! (I have tested it and it works fine with 8 sims plus 1 plumbot equals 9 altogether, and I also have portrait panel installed). My sims can even try for baby - so I know that the overstuffing capacity is working okay. However, this one function - build bot - does not work. It says "There is no room in your household for a plumbot," and the option to create a plumbot is all greyed out. What can I do to fix this? Is there a mod or a setting on master controller that I can enable? If I can buy a plumbot, there MUST be a way to create one in my overstuffed household. I need to create them so my sim can sell them to advance in her career as self employed bot builder. Thanks!!

It's possible bot building has a different check to buying a bot, you might be better off asking over at Nraas, it could be something that needs adding to the existing mod to let it work, the folks working on the mods now might not even be aware of it not working.

It definitely has a different check which is why it's causing everyone problems. Twallan as far as I know and from what I read on his website has retired from modding, and I believe he wasn't modding too much when Into the Future came out as it was so the Into the Future stuff is not heavily written about on his site (ie, there is nothing of Plumbots even mentioned in the FAQ section, or the "which mod do I need for..." guide) and I don't think he is returning to modding to mess with it. (Sad as he is really talented and I'm sure could make a great mod to fix this). Other people on his site did have some suggestions in the chatterbox but personally I haven't been able to fix the problem yet and since this is such an active forum I had hoped maybe someone on here might have some solutions or possibly an alternate mod to make this work.
