0.3.0 Beta 3

This beta release contains lots of fixes and various refactors in order to ensure that the mod is stable. This is currently still a beta, as I haven't had the time to make all the DLC skills able to be locked.

However, the package file has changed this time around, as I finished renaming all of the current skill locking traits to be more descriptive.

Full release of the new version should come eventually. I'm sorry I haven't been able to actually make this not a beta.

Please make sure to update both the script and package files if you're updating from beta 2, or are wanting to test this. The zip contains the package and script files bundled together for convenience.

0.2.5

This release FINALLY fixes the connection loop issue.

Thanks to the recent advent of CodeRabbit, I managed to fix the issue.

IF YOU ARE STILL ON A 1.6.X VERSION OF THE CLIENT YOU NEED TO UPDATE TO THE LATEST 1.7.X APWORLD RELEASE!

The zip file as always is attached for new users. This update does not change the package file, so if you're updating from a previous version, just grab the script.

What's Changed

• Fix infinite loop in session validation by @benny-dreamly in #13

Full Changelog: 0.2.4...0.2.5

0.2.4

This version of the mod fixes the infinite sync loop upon trying to start up the save file... so sorry about that!

If you're wondering why it was broken in the first place, I forgot a comparison somewhere... lol

The package file remains unchanged for this release.

If you are still on a 1.6.x apworld, please do not use this version of the mod. You should use 0.2.2 or update your apworld to a 1.7.x version.

The zip file attached contains both the ts4script and package file bundled. If you're installing fresh, that's the most convenient way to download it, however if you are updating, just grab the standalone script file.

What's Changed

• Fix slot bleed issues (attempt 1) by @benny-dreamly in #10
• Fix slot bleeding check by @benny-dreamly in #11

Full Changelog: 0.2.3...0.2.4

0.2.3

This version of the mod should fix bleeding issues with multiple slots in the same multiworld. Make sure to get APWorld version 1.7.0 for the full fix.

Package file is unchanged from 0.2.2, so I haven't attached it here.

Full Changelog: 0.2.2...0.2.3

0.3.0 Beta 2

This version hopefully fixes the phone app being flaky. In my haste to refactor the mod to use as little of s4cl's functionality as possible, I forgot to test the mod itself to make sure it actually worked. Sorry to the people who were using the mod here, and weren't able to use the phone app.

No new changes have been made to the package file, so you don't have to download a new one. This means DLC skills are still not being locked for the most part. I haven't had time to delve into the tuning stuff yet, but I'm hearing Cactus was still working on it.

This is for the most part an emergency release to fix some things, but as always, please report any issues you have. I haven't had as much time to work on this lately, so this release may have been a bit rushed. (I really needed to fix the thing now...)

Hopefully we're still compatible with 1.118, but if you encounter any issues, do let us know.

Thank you for being so understanding with this beta mod.

Full Changelog: 0.3.0.beta1...0.3.0.beta2

0.3.0 Beta 1

It's time. DLC Skills baybee! They aren't locked yet, but I needed to release a beta version of this, because it's been sitting on me. These release notes suck. I'll fix them for the full release.

The zip file attached is a combination of both the ts4script and package from the release, so it's an option if you want it.

What's Changed

• merge stable changes into dev by @benny-dreamly in #5
• Logging Changes by @benny-dreamly in #6

Full Changelog: 0.2.2...0.3.0.beta1

0.2.2

DOWNLOAD THIS MOD IF YOU'RE CURRENTLY PLAYING AP AND WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE PLAYING ON THE NEW 1.117 UPDATE THAT CAME OUT ON AUGUST 19TH.

This fixes an issue with the mod not loading properly on Sims 4 version 1.117. You need to install this mod version in order to play with the latest update. However, some additional changes need to be made to the Sims4CommunityLibrary.ts4script in order for you to be able to continue playing. (please make sure you're using the latest s4cl as of this release which is 3.15)

The package file remains unchanged for this release.

OUTDATED FIX INSTRUCTIONS

In order to fix Sims4CommunityLibrary, which is currently causing issues on the latest game version due to a vanilla fix in the mod that throws an error due to a function signature change in 1.117 that removed the function it is trying to inject into, please follow the following steps:

1. Make sure you have the latest Sims4CommunityLibrary version. You can check at their release page, but make sure to get the mod from v3.15's release.~~
2. In order to make these changes, we need to modify files inside the ts4script, which is basically a zip file. This tutorial will be making use of 7-zip to make these changes without extracting the file. You can extract the file and repackage it as well, but the 7-zip method is easier.
3. In 7-zip, navigate to your mods folder and open the sims4communitylib.ts4script. You should see 2 folders inside: sims4communitylib and _s4cl_ctypes_module.
4. Once you see the two folders named in the previous step, go into the sims4communitylib folder. Double clicking on the folder should suffice. You'll see lots of folders and a couple of .pyc files, but the folder we want is _vanilla_fixes
5. Double click on the _vanilla_fixes folder, and once inside you should see a lot of .pyc files. There is a very specific one we want to delete that is causing the issue. The file is named _fix_bad_check.pyc.
6. Delete the _fix_bad_check.pyc file, and then close 7-zip. If you were not using 7-zip, you'll have to re-zip it, and then rename it from .zip to .ts4script
7. Congratulations! You should now have a working AP mod.

This workaround will only be necessary until sims4communitylibrary updates and fixes this issue.

This should be the last release before the next big update, unless another base game update happens to break the mod before then.

Full Changelog: 0.2.1...0.2.2

0.2.1

This is the first release on the new repository since we've moved over to the org. This fixes an issue with the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration, specifically the check for Brushing with Greatness which was missing the (Painter Extraordinaire 3) bit. Thank you to KittyAshy from the AP discord for the report!

Package file is unchanged.
