Hello everyone.

As I did mention in my recent post I did go from one problem and ended up in another. As I do believe that you like the threads to be focused on the topic at hand I do not add anything more to that thread and start this one instead. Because I got to know that the mods ErrorTrap and OverWatch  can be used together to solve issues with issues like sims getting stuck (as my sim who got stuck right in the end of her gig). But how do I use the mods to do this? As it is now I just let the mods "sit there" doing their things. Do I have to tweak them in any way to work their real magic or just leave it as it is? I'm sure someone out there have just the same problems and know how to deal with them. Yes, there are FaQ's on Nraas.net but this is not easy. I thought it wouldn't harm to do one last try. If the game still plays hard with me after that, then I will stop playing it for good.  :-X

The ErrorTrap and OverWatch mods don't show up per-se automatically. You either click on City Hall, or use any computer in-game to get to Nraas options.

For example when you're in Live mode and have an active Sim, click on City Hall to bring up the Nraas options. You should be able to click on your Sim and see an Nraas option as well, depending on what mods from them you have installed.

It's my understanding there is no setup to do for ErrorTrap. It just runs in the background and does it thing.

There are a few things you can setup in Overwatch, depending on your personal preferences.

The site linked below can help with getting to know Nraas Mods and how to set them up. :)

OK, thank you.

Under the OverWatch title I did find this text:

"Stuck Check Auto-Reset = False
(Stops sims from being automatically reset when they are unable to route anywhere. It’s then possible to click on the sims portrait in the notification and that will zoom the camera to wherever the sim is stuck. Doing this can help identify the places around town where sims often become stuck and allow correction of the issue permanently.)"

 This is the setting I have per default. I recall having an other sim in an other world autoreset while singing karaoke before I installed the mod. Maybe the problem in this case were the club itself. Maybe the game did try to autoreset but could not.

Edit: I do not have Tumblr so if anyone do know how to contact simsarahsarah it's welcome.
