Default Sim Causes Crashing When Entering Any Career (Solved)
Hey, guys. I was wondering if anyone might happen to have any ideas about a specific teen sim unable to enter any career without crashing the game.

I thought it might be a CC-related problem, but then everyone else, including the teens and her teen sister in the same household, was able to enter a career without a problem. I haven't added anything else to the folder recently, but I did a 50/50 anyway and she still kept crashing the game as soon as I clicked 'Take Job' no matter which method I used to attempt to give her a career in-game (newspaper, computer, CC computer, job board, SimBlender). I decided to try using a CC-free folder just in case I missed something, but even then, she kept crashing the game whenever I tried to get her a job.

Out of desperation, I tried to manually give her the job through SimPE, but the UI didn't reflect the athletic career I assigned her even though the SimBlender reported her as employed in said career. She wasn't called to the carpool that came for her sister when I tried putting them in the same career, nor could I direct her to enter the car to go to work with her. I moved them in and out of other lots and aged her up to try to fix the problem to no avail. I tried to replace the hood with back-ups yet even when I aged her up from a baby in their previous house, the problem persisted. I haven't done any of the usual corruption-causing actions.

Now I'm wondering if it's not CC-related, but something else probably specific to her, though I'm not sure where else to check. I'd be grateful if anyone has any clue what's going on.

Sounds like you may have some stuck tokens or something.

Have you ran Mootilda's Hood Checker program on this hood? http://modthesims.info/d/456523/hoo...ry-11-2013.html

What is your Sim's aspiration?

There's a glitch where a Sim can completely drop their aspiration (doesn't seem to be corruption, though). Although I've only seen it cause errors when interacting with other Sims, I wonder if perhaps it could cause something like this.

I forgot to mention it, but yes, I've cleaned it with the HoodChecker, deleted the cache files, the works. I've even plopped her down onto an empty lot with Chris Hatch's Lot Cleaner thinking it could fix it. I think it may have something to do with stuck tokens too, though I'm not sure where to look.

She's a Popularity-Family sim if that helps. I wonder if changing the aspiration might work if that's the problem, but I tried speed aging her from a baby to a Pleasure adult and the problem persisted (oh so stubbornly). I'll give it a try though.

I'd like her to get a job since she's a war orphan with a younger sister to care for and would potentially have to raise children on her own; plus she's part of a challenge that might require her to get a carpool job later on. I could use Monique's computer or other means to obtain money via non-carpool jobs, though that's not really fixing the problem of why getting one for her crashes the game...

Do you have SimPE? If you open up the Memories, there's sometimes tokens and stuff accumulated in there. Maybe clearing it all out might fix it.

If you are using InTeen then try spawning the clock on her and see if that works.

I don't have InTeen, so I should be okay on that front, though that makes me wonder if there's something wrong with her age that I can't see. Should I just delete all the tokens? I've never tried that before - are there any I should leave alone just in case or do I go ahead and remove all of them?

Did you make a backup? Remove all CC to the desktop and try to get her a job? If you haven't you need to do this first.

Years ago a friend of mine had a blouse that did this to one of her sims. If the sim wore this blouse and her sim tried to get a job her game would crash. it was the oddest darn thing, but this reminds me of it.

Thanks, joandsarah77, though I mentioned using back-ups and CC-free folders to check if it was a CC or mod-related problem, which doesn't seem to be the case.

I'll admit that I put off trying to fix this problem because I had three other hoods next in the rotation and I figured I'd be ready to handle whatever chaos may ensue if I delete all the sims' tokens in SimPE after taking a bit of a break.

Lo and behold, deleting all of the tokens through SimPE actually worked; she finally managed to get a carpool job! I guess she really did have a stuck token or something of the sort. I went through different scenarios just to see if the token removal affected anything else and if the problem might come back, but she seems perfectly fine for the moment. Thanks, guys!
