Coming Soon: Actor Career Styling Fix
Quick one today, but the bug it fixes is actually pretty interesting.
If you've ever played through the Get Famous EP actor career and watched your Sim finish having makeup applied, then just sit there until they give up and fail to prepare for the gig, this is the mod you've been waiting for.
Here's what's actually happening under the hood. The makeup chair has two distinct sitting positions the game treats as completely separate states: a makeup position and a hair position. They look identical physically but are different postures internally.
When makeup finishes, the vanilla code hands off to the hair interaction using a continuation, a mechanism that queues the next interaction and transfers posture ownership to it. So the hair interaction receives ownership of the makeup sitting position as it starts up. The problem: the hair interaction needs the hair position to run, not the makeup one. So the engine tries to transition by cancelling the makeup position and starting the hair position. But because the hair interaction was given ownership of the makeup position, cancelling the makeup position also cancels its owner, which is the hair interaction itself.
That self-cancellation cascades outward. The stylist's paired hair interaction is removed from the queue since its initiating social is gone, and then the stylist's makeup position is also cancelled because it lost its source. Both Sims get evicted from the interaction simultaneously.
The fix cuts the continuation entirely so no ownership is ever transferred. A Python script then pushes the hair interaction fresh, with no inherited posture claims, so the transition from makeup position to hair position happens cleanly as a normal posture acquisition.
Coming to CurseForge very soon. Check out my other mods in the meantime!
