Oh, Erik, where are you?
« on: October 06, 2012, 11:30:05 AM »
So... I have a weird... lets call it problem (I don't know if it's just a glitch or it's my game, that hates me) with Erik Darling. I'll try to explain it as clear as possible, but please keep in mind English is not my first language :P

Okay, so I've started a Sunset Valley Legacy (maybe I'll post it here) and one thing I wanted to do was resurrect Erik and cure poor Agnes' heart. I've planned a long wait for the opportunity, but luckily Agnes found the genie lamp at the mausoleum, so I was like "wiiiiiiii! let's resurrect Erik!" Agnes went home and cleaned the old lamp, asked for a desire... but the game said there was no resurrectable sim... although both Agnes and the genie were next to Erik's graveyard.

Annoyed, I decided to cheat a little and get Agnes pregnant (well, I just want a heir XD someone I can marry later with another sim in town) with her deceased husband, with MasterController's help... but Erik was NOT listed. Like he does not exist.

Then I tried the get-a-ghost-by-cheating-way, so I tried to add Erik to the household via MasterController... and again, he does not exist.

Long story short, it seems that poor Erik is missing from my game. I have all games purchased (not "pirate copies") but Katy Perry's, and all patches installed. I've just reinstalled all games and CC (mostly NRaas mods, Store content and some Sliders needed for some sims) and all works perfectly. I had resurrected Erik before (like... three expansion packs before XD)

So it seems I lack his character data or something. His graveyard is there and fully functional... but he is nowhere. Any ideas?

AliceHyde, I have edited out the profanity in the topic title and will ask you to not using these words anymore. This is a family friendly forum where also young kids can hang around. If you read the forum rules you will see what I mean.
Also, would you be so kind to remove all the underscores in your test? It makes your topic hard to read.

And now, as I haven't see you before here: welcome to the forum and let's continue with good behaviour from now on. :)

I've had the same experience before. Sometimes you have to wait for the ghost to come out in order to resurrect them.

And you can't find him with NRaas mods? It's supposed to appear ) in MasterController lists, but he is missing (there are some guides to resurrect sims via MasterController) But I've made Agnes mourn him and his head-pic appears...

It may be the new "Bella Goth", at least in my game ¬¬

hummmm... I think Agnes is going to the Elixir shop and see if she can turn into a witch. Thay boy is coming out, I don't care if he wants or not! :P

[EDIT] Wiiiiii, Erik is back! Thanks to the Philosoper's Stone :P But I'm still wondering why the other ways don't work... altough it's possible that the fact I was playing new Naga's updated Sunset Valley had something to do... I doubt it, but it's a possibility. Has anyone had problems with "missing" dead people?
