Grocery Store Isn't Useable (Solved Mod Glitch)
« on: March 21, 2015, 03:19:41 PM »
My Sim goes in and teleports to their house. ErrorTrap says it detects an error, but I have no idea how to buy fish or veggies without the store. Is there another way that bypasses the rabbit hole itself? I have all 11 EP's, so I can access all features.

You can buy them also by using the MultiTab from sims 3 store.

Hi Thesimslover828,

Here's what I found:

Sim won't go to grocery store 
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/424562.page

Suggested fix is:

Delete the effected store/lot and replace it.

Mods that may help is Nraas Overwatch, and MasterController

I've actually run into this problem before, on more than one occasion and found deleting the store/house and replacing it helps.

Hope this helps, :)

I removed the store replaced it and still my Sim can't go in. Any world I use has the same glitch, everything else works. I tried using another family and the interface came up, but it was blank, nothing could be bought.

If it's happening in all worlds, it sounds like the game maybe glitched?

Have you tried a Factory Reset?

Move your Sims 3 folder to the desktop or some where safe, and rename it something like Sims 3 Current. Click the Sims 3 icon to create a new Sims 3 folder.

Go To: ----> My Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3

Before doing the factory reset, save a copy of your family to the export folder. So you can use them in a new game if you want.

After the factory reset, copy over your Options.ini -- (Video and game options) file. Create a new game to test, to see if the grocery store still has problems. If the grocery store works like normal. That may mean that your other game could be glitched.

If that's the case, it may be worth taking your family and playing them in a new game?

Yep I did thinking it would stop the glitch, if I use another Sim the store is blank. The interface comes up, nothing is on sell.
Edit: I'm removing some mods to see if the problem will stop. If it does I'll tell y'all it stopped, and avoid that mod in the future.
Edit: OK I found out why the store wasn't working, a mod that was for adding death flowers, money tree seeds, omni seeds to the store, was glitching it
