Default Missing Memories...?
Hi,

My sim just got abducted by aliens.
I know, if he would come back, he would get the (Met Aliens) memory.

But during the abduction his son and wife didn't get the (Sim Got Abducted by Aliens) memory.
What went wrong?

Shouldn't they get a negative memory about that so is my neighbourhood corrupted?

Some times they do some times they don't, did any one get the memory other than the one that got abducted.

I have had household were only one other would get the memory and the rest would not.

Did any of them see him come back?

If I want them to get the memory I have them set down on chairs at the road side and wait and they all normally would get the memory.

I had a sim's brother wait for him like this and he didn't get it.

But in another hood, I had a sim get abducted but nobody got the memory on the lot, I added it in with SimPE. However, his son, who lives on another lot got the memory. I guess there's some disconnect somewhere for the parameters for the sims to get the memory.

Yes his wife and son saw him how he got abducted and returned back but they did not get the memory (sim got abducted by aliens).

The moving out solution could work but isn't there a mod that gives the sims that memory without moving?
I don't want to move his wife with his child into another lot. That would be sad...

It shouldn't hurt anything to add it in SimPE, if it bothers you.

Ugly is in the heart of the beholder.

Yes, but it is annoying to quit the game and open SimPE after every abduction.

I would be grateful if there would be a mod that adds a memory after any abductions.

Are you sure that those memories are not being suppressed by some of your CC? I believe that the game generates those memories by default, which would make it unlikely that anyone would make a mod to generate them.

I tried it out, I removed the Downloads and SavedSims folder and started the game.
I created a new 'hood and a new family with 3 sims (mum, dad and child)

The mum got abducted by aliens and both got a negative after she was abducted.
When se came back, she got also a memory of that.

Thank you Mootilda, that worked.
This is a better method rather than editing the memories in SimPe.

But my question is, which CC prevents the game to generate those memories ('Sim Met Aliens' and 'Sim Got Abducted by Aliens')?
I mean which sort of CC hides those memories?

You should be able to find it using the 50-50 method.

50-50 means you take out half of your downloads and leave 50 (half) in. Then you test using this same cycle until you have a very small amount of CC in your downloads folder that could be causing the problem. (I should probably do this myself, seeing as I've had a similar problem).

In the future you may find this mod helpful. "Memory Manipulator" http://simmanipulator.forumotion.co...ory-manipulator

Pheww, my downloads folder is HUGE.
I'm going to remove all mods and try it with custom walls, floors, hairstyles, eyes and so on...

That's why the 50-50 method is so good. A binary search is a very quick and efficient method for finding one file in a large number of files.

I did not work.

Nobody got a memory.
I removed the entire downloads folder and tried again.

Even without CC, that memory is missing.

This was on an anygame with only Apartment Life and Mansion & Garden stuff but it doesn't work on an all eps game.

I read somewhere that the alien abduction has been changed (if you have Free Time installed)
Perhaps it has something to do with those hobby enthusiasms...

Anyway, I think Free Time broke that.
Is there a mod to fix that?
It has nothing to do with CC because it even doesn't work on a CC-free game...

EDIT:
I downloaded an alien abduction fix (debug get abducted and memory) hack and now it works with Free Time.
http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/f...r=al%2Fhacks%2F

The name of the hack is 'debugabductfix'
It also works with all my CC and hacks.
