What water source did you use? I was using the rock and while they went and did the action and I got the pop up no bucket of water was in my sims inventory. I'm starting to wonder if I need extra files. I just added the rock since I didn't want the whole water v3 download.

I think I used one of the cactuses because it appeared first in the catalog.

I'd be interested to know if it actually works in game - I guess it's possible the creator didn't link up the extra mesh parts, so they might not be visible ingame. Deleting them would bring the polycount down to 9488.

Thanks for pointing that out. Hadn't looked into the package yet. And now I'm even hesistant to use this one.

Only ask, as I play with the nohumble mod in all of my games, save for my testing game.


No, I just tried twice with the same couple. First time I realized I didn't have a water source for the pigs so I exited and grabbed the rock option, reloaded and got that second result. So first time was without the water source so it couldn't be that, but why did they not get a water bucket in inventory? I'm going to check that I don't have both v2 and 3 in at the same time (although I didn't think I had v2 in my modern game at all) Or perhaps it's the lot itself, it's a farm lot from here. Humble is in my game I've never modded him out. Everything was playing fine except for the no water bucket showing up right up until Humble showed up.

No need to worry; MDP has fixed it!

I'm back, after playing around with this set in my testing neighborhood. Have to say it is beyond AMAZING! There is so much for a household to do.

Now, I'm guessing you have some sort of conflict going, Jo, as I had no issues with any of the items, nor once Rod Humble entered the lot, or left. First thing I did was put a pitchfork, dung rake and slop bucket in everyone's inventory. Then I had the teenage daughter buy some hay bales (to make some bedding). I had the mom get some water buckets from the pump (I use the TS3 pump and the Old Mill well in my game...from the updated Fetch Water set). The little boy played around in the mud wallow and at some point talked to the sow, the dad inspected the sow and boar, and the daughter autonomously started talking to the piglet after finishing another chore. The boar, sow and piglet laid down at the same time, but the piglet got up first (sorry didn't time the down time). Rod Humble, strolled onto the lot and I observed all the animals and sims. No errors occurred, my sims carried on about their business and I had them get back to work, and interacting with the animals. So, not sure what to tell you, but so far everything seems to work as described.

Also, for anyone who downloads this set, I highly recommend going through and adding the rest of the items to the collection file they provided, as all items for this set are not in it. I'd even add whatever well you are using from the Fetch Water set to it too (makes it easier to remember it's required).

Oh, and I'm using the autonomous version of the hog set.

Added a few pics to show that things were going along just fine (and to showcase some of the awesome interactions).



Edit: Jo, I see you use the rock as a water source. Do you have it placed next to a body of water (pond), per the instructions?

joandsarah77 20th Dec 2016 2:15 AM

Good to know it is nothing with the pigs and Humble, at least I can cross that off.

PenelopeT 20th Dec 2016 4:46 AM

I should really be in bed right now , but spotted this counter top grill http://spiralboundsims.tumblr.com/p...sits-at-counter on my Tumble feed. Nice alternative for outdoor cooking.

joandsarah77 20th Dec 2016 6:37 AM

The random freezing is caused by me directing them to pull the custom weeds and grass so I'll be glad when that is gone. Now my pigs are constantly sick and I don't know why since they filled both the food and the water trough.

Wonderful! (And I was happily surprised with the polycount)

Also, I definitely need to try out the hogs package. It sounds and looks fantastic. Of course had it downloaded, but not tried yet.

joandsarah77 20th Dec 2016 10:18 AM

Make sure to get the water mod as well, the pigs need their trough filled.

Yes, thank you, I got that one as well.

Since one of my sims had a texture issue and seem to come home in a dress instead of his overall, I thought it would be fun to do something with that story wise.
He might be up to become a cross-dresser. In a search to find clothes for him I came across this:

Maybe others would find this useful as well.

Out of curiosity, what custom grass and weeds do you have? I can test that out for you too if you want.

joandsarah77 20th Dec 2016 10:37 PM

I'm assuming that is also Sun&Moon. They have no enviroment effect. I placed down the weeds and the grass along with Sophi David's effects from here, that was trash with green fumes and flies. The freezing only happened with the grass. I'll see if I can find where I got them from.

I think this is the grass http://www.medievalsims.com/forums/...php?f=91&t=6823 It has the option for sims to pull it like they do weeds.

PenelopeT 21st Dec 2016 3:40 AM

Alright, I had a chance to test the grass for you, Jo.

- Without the hogs on the lot, the grass can be pulled just fine (no freezing of the sim who's pulling it). Humble can also enter the lot without causing any issues.
- With the hogs on the lot, the sim pulling the grass will pull it once, then freeze. The 'pull grass' option stays queued, you cannot just cancel it out. You either have to reset the sim, or exit without saving. This happened with and without Humble coming onto the lot.
- This issue only affected the sim pulling the grass. All other sims on the lot were fine, and able to move around and continue their queued activities.

So, there is definitely some sort of conflict between the hogs and the grass. You might want to let Frac know. Maybe, she could take a look at the grass and update it.

joandsarah77 21st Dec 2016 3:54 AM

Thanks for testing! That is really interesting, and odd. What I did was have the Bat box out and I would force error on all because I needed them to pick all the grass I had placed. Since you post on the PBK could you mention it? I haven't been able to log in there for some years. Sometimes they would pull up to three clumps before freezing. If I had known I would have sold the hogs, finished pulling then placed them back again but that didn't occur to me that it could possibly be them.

PenelopeT 21st Dec 2016 4:43 AM

Yes, I can mention it. Will post over there sometime tomorrow, or Thursday. It's time for bed now.

Dagwon 22nd Dec 2016 1:27 AM

@PenelopeT I was testing the hogs too, and I found that ordering my sims to "Garden" via macrotastics caused the sim to freeze up too. I have an account at Plumb Bob Keep, but I've never posted before so I don't even know where to start, lol No weeds, just the maxis garden plots to tend - the "tend many" works just fine, it's just when I bring macrotastics into the picture that something borks... (Sorry I keep editing to add details, heh)

joandsarah77 22nd Dec 2016 2:01 AM

Sun&Moon have a bug report section. http://www.medievalsims.com/forums/...t=8107&start=20
Can you also mention the issue where a sim starts to flash, that is goes slightly invisible and back again rapidly. I don't know if it's the hogs but this has happened twice now on this lot (only lot with the hogs) and only lot I have seen this problem on so far. It happened shortly after move in and yesterday after playing all autumn and a day of winter, so it is something only happening now and then.

Also I am using the auto hogs, the type might make a difference.

Dagwon 22nd Dec 2016 2:13 AM

Awesome. I saw that but wasn't sure. I'm using auto hogs too. Stupid question, but have the problems with the CC weeds been tested without using macrotastics? I'm going to go test regular ol' weeds without macrotastics, but I wonder if somehow the pigs are being seen as a weed that needs to be "pulled"? Going to test!

joandsarah77 22nd Dec 2016 2:18 AM

I don't have macrotastics, it was just the grass itself causing the freezing. I'm more worried about this random flickering and the non grocery issue. Today I will load another family and see if they can order and put away groceries since that may not be related. The flickering could be something else as well. Many of my sims buy fresh produce so it's entirely possible I simply didn't see this grocery problem. @Dagwon could you check delivery on the phone and see if groceries is in your list of options?

Dagwon 22nd Dec 2016 2:34 AM

Regular/maxis weed pulling freezes the sims up too. I managed to pull a few, and then the pigs changed position and the sims froze (not sure if it was a coincidence or not, yet). Macrotastic comes up with the option to "garden" even when there's no gardening to do on the lot. Selecting causes the sims to queue up "garden" with a picture of the pig, then freeze.

Haven't seen any flickering.

Groceries: Worked for me. But not when my fridge was full. Honestly, it's been so long since I've ordered groceries I couldn't remember how to do it (that's why this took so long! lol)

joandsarah77 22nd Dec 2016 3:04 AM

Lol, I get that since I don't normally order groceries either. I sent them to an owned grocery store for some groceries, she couldn't put them away so I thought I would order some and see if that worked, which was when I discovered order groceries was not even an option on their phone. It should be under delivery, right?

I ran the HCD and see nothing about groceries in there. *sigh* I hate it when issues pile up.

Dagwon 22nd Dec 2016 3:09 AM

Yeah, it's under delivery, with the pizza and chinese.
I posted the bug report. Here's hoping I was clear enough, or such! lol

I want to pllllaaaaayyyyy. I've been poking around with CC all day and I just want to be done and playing. lol
