[Mod] Milestone Fixes: no rotationally vanishing milestones, enable for inactive played, CC issue fix - Sims 4 Mod

As always, please report any issues with my new mods so I can address them!

Dec 5, 2023: fix #1 is obsolete, 2 and 3 still apply

This mod will be up until EA revises the related 'inconveniences'.

______________________

You can get both the fix files or only one, all up to you.

______________________

File 2: CC/Mod Object Fix

2. Without the fix, removing CC linked to a milestone will leave your household forever unable to load. The fix, well, fixes that.

FILE 3: Load Milestones on Played but not Currently active Sims (NateTheL0ser's idea)

3. If you play a sim and they interact with a sim from another played household but not currently active, that other sim will be able to gain milestones properly with your sim, for example if they get married, etc.

4. With this file installed, Sims from Played households but not currently played will have their existing milestones recognized by the game as existing, and therefore infants and toddlers with the relevant milestones will be able to move about.

OBSOLETE AS OF DEC. 5 2023:
FILE 1: No Rotationally Vanishing Milestones 1. Prevents milestones from rotationally disappearing.

Context:

So, NateTheL0ser was noting that, when visiting another Played (but not currently active) household, infants and toddlers there acted as though they had no milestones and therefore could only lay there.  
I made a functional 'fix'. Then I continued on to make this also fix the fact that when a sim from a Played but not currently active household is doing things with your active played sim that should grant them milestones, it doesn't. And added also sth to prevent milestone disappearing rotationally, until EA provides a fix.
I would not have made this if not for Nate, so, thanks to him!

1. DO NOT EXTRACT THESE FILES! PUT DIRECTLY IN MODS FOLDER.

2. I cut this mod into three parts:
- the first one is the bug fix for rotationally vanishing milestones;
- the second is for the bug related to CC that links to milestones;
- the third part contains tweaks to allow milestones for Played Sims not part of current household. This part might be performance greedy for people who have hundreds of sims marked as played.

Comments

Do we still need it? I'm asking because I'm updating the mods and I've been wondering if it's needed or not.

Stella

The milestone/cc fix mod just allowed me to detach my G10 heir from having to have some random cc installed to load him - which is a HUGE relief since one day he'll end up in a forever save that I do not want to depend on any mods/cc Thank you so much for making it 🥰!

It's not necessary anymore as EA fixed that bug

Lumpinou

i only can download 2 files.. the no rational vanishing mod is gone :0 but i had this one on my old laptop??!!

Txnja_e

Yes

Lumpinou

is this currently up to date

Destany Roman

Thank you!

Kristina

Yes, the EA fix of today is not about the rotational vanishing, so you should keep my fix in if you want to avoid that bug! :)

Lumpinou

I just wanted to double-check this from the patch notes: "Sims with tracked Milestones won't forget about them if they are moved into a non-played Household" That doesn't really sounds like it fixes what your fix...fixes, lol. Can I leave your fix in, to make sure I don't lose the milestones in my played families?

Kristina

So, first, this is only about the part that enables milestones for households played but not currently active. And what it means is, for players who have a ton of households marked as played, say if they go to a crowded public lot, all the Sims marked as played who would appear on it would all have the milestone tracking system active on them, and it can be assumed that this could mean some lag on computers that aren't equipped to deal with it

Lumpinou

When you say the mod is "performance greedy", what do you mean exactly? Does it mean longer load times or possible game play lag, for example?

Sam D.

Hi, if you sent them to a household that is not marked as played, then that would happen yes. The game doesn't allow milestones for non played households

Lumpinou

Hi, I sent an infant off with the other parent for a visit with the RPO mod and they came back with none of the milestones they had gained. I have all of the files from this mod.

cheekytrait

Thank you so much.

Wendy Hubble

Thank you !!!!!!

Kim Michel

For me, tried food disappears every time I "load" the house, so even after travelling. I don't have GrT, though. Can anyone confirm that this mod could fix it?

Cathy

Thank you :)

Rita Brand

Hm that is interesting! Wondering if you have a performance issue due to having a lot of Sims marked as played. Will separate the fixes in two optional parts in case. Myself I have had no crashing and other modders who use this did not warn me of any issue either - please let me know How it goes without other mods installed

Lumpinou

it happend to me too since adding in your fix. Though I can't say it is necessary your mods fault. I keep getting a white screen, no last exceptions or anything and it worked fine before. I added Andrews Pose Player about a day before but did not get the crashing then. I do have MCCC, WW, Pandas Child Birth Mod, CC and some of your other mods as well. I will test it without the fix and see if this might solve it, but it is strange...

Angelika

Gracias!!

Tamara Gasiorowski

my game keeps crashing too, not sure which mod

Thank you so much for helping this game :)

JenJenLn

Hi and thanks, Those are compatible. My mod doesn't cause any crashes so, either an installation problem or an outdated game version perhaps.

Lumpinou

Hi I absolutely love your mod - pregancy overhaul, I wonder did I download it ok, the game keeps crashing on me after about 5 mins. I have wicked whims and mc controller too. Is it possible I need to disable these to use yours? thanks for the amazing work.

Ella

No

Lumpinou

I use Enkidu's Toddler Milestone Fix: Numbers before Letters. Could that cause problems? https://modthesims.info/d/675205/toddler-milestone-fix-numbers-before-letters.html

Carsten Rogowski

Thank you!

Kimikosoma

Understood! Yeah, I imagined EA wanted to avoid another Sims 3 memories situation where the milestones data would bloat the savefiles with tons of them. My only concern with marking NPCs as played is that a lot EA and modded features work with a npc test, however, I can understand where you come from. Thank you really much for your answer and this mod!

Marco Cantillo

Hi, yes I could, but, EA chose to keep never ever played households out of Milestones due to performance concerns, which I consider valid. If you however have great perf and choose to mark all households as 'my household' aka as 'played' via household manager, with this mod installed then these npc's will have their milestones record when they happen on the lot where active Sims are

Lumpinou

Hey Lumpinou, do you think it's possible to make it so NPCs also gain milestones? At least when they are on the same active lot as your active Sims? I know NPCs gain the retroactive ones when they become active, however, it's weird to see an NPC having a bladder failure and then, if you make it part of your family, it's like that never happened.

Marco Cantillo

As a big rotational player, thank you so much for this!

allhalemccallthings

I have the same issue and it drives me batty! I really hope this fixes it and also didn't make the connection.

TXAK79

I wonder if this will fix the issue with tried foods sometimes disappearing for infants. I had not connected that to rotational play, but it just might be when I changed households that it happened.

Sheila Lobert

It's a EA bug that has happened to many people when visiting another household, regardless of scenario status. But yeah this fixes it :)

Lumpinou

I am beside myself with glee right now. I've been so desperate to play rotationally and lost a ton of progress because of this bug. I'm immediately going in game to test this. THANK YOU!

feroshgirl

Please share the error report, but most likely you are just seeing the new game bug that error reports blame rpo for because rpo runs systems at the same time as it.

Lumpinou

So interestingly I was surprised to notice the opposite in my game in regards to infants. I thought for sure they would just lay there but I have visited multiple other household infants and they are often sitting up/scooting, etc. I I play heavily modded though, so it's always hard to say what's vanilla vs mod. I do know I don't have a mod to purposely fix it.

Simslegacy5083

I had this bug where my sim infant traveled to another family with his parents to "help' a relative with a newborn . I was playing as the newborns family. Apparently everyone in a household (even the dogs) comes on these visits. I noticed while interacting with the infant that he seemed to have none of the milestones - could not sit up, etc - he had gained when I played him. When I rotated to that newborns household the milestones appeared to be permanently gone, they did not reappear just because I was playing that household again. I wondered if this was only caused by the family visit scenario but it sounds like its worse than that. I used your mod to restore the milestones, thank goodness. I think its should be tested under a family visit scenario too, just to make sure, since that coding would be different than what covers normal rotational game play - I imagine?

Sam D.

I keep getting an exception saying the the RPO collection M0 Corelibrary Saying the tuning is messed up. Anyway to fix this?

Tavia Owens

IT WORKS!!! I triggered the bug & visited a family with an infant and the infant was sitting up!! Great work!!!
