Organization Service Fix 2: Electric Boogaloo

Added 2022-08-13 03:27:57 +0000 UTC

Some of you may remember that I in the past had created a mod fix for a bug affecting the "Organization Service". That particular issue has since been fixed in a patch, for which I had removed the mod download from my "should fix" mod fix master-list.

There are however still a few errors related to the Organization Service that are around, and I'm here to fix another one.

What Does This Mod Fix?

For starters, I should detail which particular bug I'm fixing and how the bug manifests.

In particular, this mod fixes uniquely the following error:

[manus] organization_service failed to handle zone load due to exception (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_organization_status')

You can find an AHQ thread about this error here, and my post explaining in a bit more detail the source, to the best of my abilities to discern it, of the error.

How Does the Mod Work?

In essence, the error comes from Sims that are enrolled into a Uni organization but which don't have a "tracker" object for it. It's unclear if this always is because the Sims in question died and were culled by the game, but it was what I found in the test save I was given, and I would say it's a fair assumption to make.

Regardless of the conditions that lead to the Sim not having a tracker object, this mod simply removes these Sims from their Organizations, allowing the game to work as originally intended.

Version & Mod Info

Version 1.0.0

Compatible with game version 1.91

Game requirements: Discover University

Installation

This is a simple script mod without a package file, so it can do directly inside of your /Mods folder. If you wish, you can put it in a subfolder, but remember scripts cannot go any deeper than ONE subfolder.

Closing Remarks

From other parts of the code that I looked at, there shouldn't be any issues with removing these Sims without a tracker object. In fact, adding an organization member completely skips over Sims without one. But let me know if anything weird seems to be happening.
