Some news about TS4 version 1.121

Update: Lot51 put a fix in the core library to fix this problem for any career that uses a 64-bit id. Make sure you download the updated version. If you haven't updated your venue list, it is also time to do that.

Some changes with the game's code with the latest version to add a new filter relating to royalty is causing most custom careers, whether made by me or by somebody else, to throw an exception due to the career id being outside of a valid range. This change means I will have to renumber my careers to give them a new id.

What does this mean for you? It means that your Sims are going to lose their jobs if they are employed in a custom career that gets renumbered. You will have to reemploy the Sims into the career. You will then either have to restart and work your way back up or use cheats to promote the Sim to where they were before the renumbering.

What does it mean for me? The renumbering itself is easy since it only requires a change to one file per career. What will take time is going through all of the other XML files and update references to the old ids with the new ones.

This is an example of what I mean when I say it is important that you help me find these bugs by reporting things to me. Jozz left a comment that said it was impossible to take vacations, so I checked into it and was able to replicate it which gave me the exception I mentioned earlier. Other mod creators have also made a similar discovery after the bug report and verified that lower numbers are still fine.
