Patch News

I've tested my mods against the latest patch, and they don't cause any exceptions. I have not had the chance to go through all of the functionality of all of my mods yet, so if you run into something that doesn't work, let me know. They don't seem to blow anything up, though. :D

There were a lot of other mods that did break from the two patches this week, so check your larger script mods for updates (WW, Basemental, MCCC, UI Cheats, etc).

Thanks for your support!

I've seen some pretty weird mod conflicts, so I couldn't rule it out. Odd that it just started after the patch for you, though. I'm going to try to figure out how it could work 'halfway' in some cases (introducing, but not increasing friendship), since that might be a clue, also that sleep works for you if you have a virtuoso caster (that's another odd one).

Well, initial tests are not promising. Removed the 2 previous versions Added in the 2 new ones Cast Charm Person on that same Sim who was red to me (because of Knock) No affect Went to Work as a Doctor and tried to Charm Person on a Nurse, same results. No relationship gain, but the ability to not have to introduce. Plus the visual effect happened just fine as well, as it has been. The only thing not happening is the relationship gain. Which I find so odd, as it DOES make it so I don't have to introduce. I will try creating a new Spellcaster from scratch and see if that alters anything. Could it be a mod conflict?

If you'd want to try removing most mods and just keeping the spellbook injector and the Classic RPG spells in, that would rule out (or rule in) a mod conflict. It's probably more likely than anything in particular to do with the Sim doing the casting.

Lemme give it a try.

I guess I can get a Go To Work job, go to work, then try Charm Person.

It should only need to be installed. Hmm, this is a strange one.

I cheated up to Virtuoso and Sleep works, but Charm Person still does not, even if I cast it in Del Sol Valley

well, it looks like I'm going to need to update those either way due to the group Id issue (for people who don't have GTW and Batuu installed). Not sure why it's not working in your case yet. When it doesn't work, does the spell seem to cast normally, but there's no effect? That would help me narrow it down.

I do have it installed. I also noticed that it partway works. Kinda. While it is not giving any friendship gain, it is taking away the requirement to Introduce Self interactions. Once casted on a stranger Sim, I can then do the friendly interactions as i I already introduced myself. But that is it.

It looks like, due to the weird tuning Group ID change in this patch, Charm Person might rely on Get To Work being installed, and Sleep might rely on Batuu (! damn !), lol. I'll need to fix that. Could that explain why you aren't getting the effect to work? It only affects the loots on those (which is where the effects are applied)

Yes, that is me. I was casting as either a Neophyte or Acolyte actually. Also, are you on the most recent update? I am on 1.105.332.1020. The most recent update as of the 2 days ago.

Yep, just installed the new stuff pack too, so I should have all the updates. I'll try it with a lower level caster, but if you can learn the spell, you should be able to cast it at those levels. The spell interaction itself doesn't check the caster level. I'll try some more things, like a lower level caster. Must be something.

Thank you tons.

Hi. Left a longer post with steps and everything on ModTheSims.com, but real quick, Charm Person no longer works, nor does Sleep spell from Classic RPG Spells. I also tested Earthquake and Haste and they seem to be working fine.

Thanks! I'll check it out.
