Title: Wardrobe doesn't work anymore
Post by: sandini_power on February 08, 2009, 12:08:46 pm
Well I had this problem for a long time now, but I thought it would just go away but it didnt lol
So everytime I tell my sim to change clothes by using the wardrobe, the little wardrobe pic will go to the
upper left corner of the screen and then disappear instantly. Also if I hover my cursor over the wardrobe it will just
cancel any action my sim is currently doing. I have no idea wats going on?

thx

do you have a wardrobe hack or insimenator in your game?

Another question would be, do you have anything blocking the path to the dresser?

You also might try selling the wardrobe and the buying it anew.

Sometimes the game spits out objects which you can't see at all onto the floor, so something like that might be blocking the path. You can try using this cheat:

boolprop testingCheatsEnabled true

and see if an error message pops up when you try to initiate using the wardrobe.

Are you using any custom dressers that may be outdated?

When you say "wardrobe", did you mean a dresser or a closet? And you haven't mentioned what your latest EP is.

Does this happen with all dressers? Try swapping out the one you have for a maxis dresser. If the problem stops, then you were using a custom one that wasn't compatible with the most recent EPs/SPs you have.

I'm using one from maxis, the new ones from APL and one of those luxurious ones for one stuff pack

ok have you followed any of the preceding suggestions and taken anything out of your game?

I tried and I even updated the game, itz still doesnt work.
It is so weird because if I just move the cursor over any dresser, it will cancel my sim's action (ie. If my sim was sitting,
and I hover my cursor over any dresser it would cause my sim to stand and not sit anymore.)

The jump bug you describe is nearly always caused by one or more of these:

Incompatible hacks or hacks needing updating to the latest EP
Bad or incompatible custom content objects
Unpatched EPs/SPs

Oftentimes, if one downloads and installs custom lots as provided in full, they include hacks or hacked objects (which shouldn't be included without a warning by the lot creator, but it occurs often regardless)

Follow the guidelines for finding troublesome custom content:

Remember to NOT save your games while testing them with any or all of the folders temporarily removed and to make back-ups FIRST (as described at the link above).
