MODS TROUBLESHOOTING REPORT
🕑 Added 2023-05-31 02:49:29 +0000 UTCThese reports will help you get my mods to work for you in most cases. If you post an issue just be aware that I've seen it from the comments and Discord. The response to mod issues will be in these reports. It'll help more people who have the same issue and reduce repetitive responses.
This week the most reported issue has been:
-Computer interactions not showing up
Potential Solutions
1. Check that you have the latest version of xml injector if it's listed as required for a particular mod. (Without it some interactions will not appear)

2. Check that you're using the all-in-one power pc. My latest mods work on most computers but just in case try this one first.
3. Some desks won't display all interactions from a computer or custom computer interactions. Try a different desk. Next try a different chair. Change the lot as a last resort to see if that works. (Keep trying because this is usually the problem, desk and chair combo)
4. Check for required packs. Make sure you have the required packs for each mod.
5. Check that script mods are enabled in game settings.
6. Check that you downloaded the mod correctly. Unzip the mods, do not remove or separate the files. The script file cannot be placed deeper into a folder, the game won't be able to find it.
7. Make sure you've updated the game to latest version.
8. Avoid duplicating by removing old versions of a mod. The game won't work.
Cause Of The Problem:
If you continue to experience the issue of missing computer interactions I'm not sure why. The custom computer interactions I create are made with Mod constructor v4 or v5. V4 will create a python script file that only works on the all-in-one power pc. That's why it's the only one interactions show up on. V5 makes it possible to add all computers with the python script file.
There are some computer interactions that will not work with either v4 or v5. Things like SimPickers aren't available in mod constructor and have to be created using Sims4Studio. These require xml injector. If you see a mod of mine require xml injector that's usually the reason. The injector works like the python script file but you have to add an affordance interaction shared by most computers.
Proposed Fix Ideas
I'm probably continue to use v4 for computer interactions and hold off on v5 until I understand it better. They seemed to show up as long as you use the all in one power pc using v4. If you don't mind being stuck to that pc then computer interactions should be a lot more stable moving forward.
Expect an update to the Music Industry Mod for this reason. We'll see if this makes things stable or not.
Music Industry Mod - current mod with the issue of the artist management interaction not showing up. Experienced the most issues this week.

They all revert back to generic lot. Are the custom venues still showing up with either list. Use the venue list that works for you.
Jessica Frey
I couldn't get the lot type to show up for the music industry and brothel mod. I originally was using basementals venue list but took your recommendation and switched to Zerbu's list. That change made the lot type show up but it reverts back to generic lot type when you leave build mode
RuinQueen
Ok, take as much time as you need
WICKED PIXXEL
Okay, thanks for letting me know. It's most likely the trait used. I'll update it soon.

The dark emotions mod is bringing up an mc last exception

Do you have a specific issue that I can help with? Because it seems like you might need a venue list for custom lots. The generic lot comes with the game, it's not custom. Otherwise the mods won't work for you.
Sylwia Herrmann
No one of your mods work and i have no generic lot. i tried everything you said, but nothing work and thaths very angry, because i pay money every month for it :(

Check out the tutorial video, it walks you through the mod and some troubleshooting. The info above can help as well. Otherwise please wait on the upcoming update to the mod. I believe your issue is more related to the venue list. Which is fully explained in the video and release post.
WICKED PIXXEL
Okay, thanks for letting me know. An update is scheduled for the mod to update the computer interactions. That might fix the issue. I suggest waiting until the update to see if things work for you then.
I've tried everything listed here and still can't get it work.
Hey its nor working I dont even have the place , the only option i get is to make a new album then n9thing happens
jessica mattox

Please let me know if this is helpful to anyone that had issues.
