Jump bug - help!
caffeinated.joy:
A mod is any file made to change the way your game behaves. They're downloaded and installed like normal CC and perform specific actions, or a variety of actions, like altering memories, changing the way the game handles relationships, NPC behavior and so on.
If you have any mods in your game, pull them out and onto your desktop (the easiest place to find them). Make two folders and call them whatever you like (File 1 and File 2). Put half your mods in one file and half in the other. Take one file and put it in your Downloads folder, then run your game and perform the action causing the jump bug. If it doesn't happen, then the faulty file isn't there. Close your game, pull out the first half you tested your game with and put in the second one. Run your game and see if you get the jump bug. If you do, then you know the culprit is in the file you're testing. Close your game, pull out that file, divide it in half again, and repeat this process. Keep doing it until you find the bad file.
If you're not sure if you have any mods, but you do have custom content, then you'll have to do this process with your entire Downloads folder. One thing I would HIGHLY suggest is make subfolders in your Downloads file and have at least one called "Mods". If you use custom default replacements, then I would suggest another be called "Default Replacements".
In addition, I have a questions:
What EPs/SPs do you have and is your game patched? I ask because there was a jump bug problem fixed by a patch. What can happen in your game, especially if you use alot of cheats, is your sim's memories get too full and can lead to your "too many iterations" error. Using outdated mods causes this too.

I have used the boolprop cheat a couple of times, also aging off/on and I used the kaching one once.
But I've never downloaded anything extra for it
I also haven't used any EPs or SPs. So surely it must be the cheats I've used?
Theraven:
So to recap, you have the basegame only, probably unpatched, and no downloads at all?
The cheats rarely cause jump bugs on their own. The boolprop cheat will usually throw an error if a jump bug happens when it's on, which can actually be very helpful.
If you activate the boolprop cheat, and try to make the jump bug happen, you should get an error message. If you do, let us know what it says.
leanneg:
Yes that's correct. It did throw an error message up and I attached the file to my initial post.
Theraven:
Have you tried patching the game?
