I was afraid of that. I've PM'd you an explanation, on the off chance there's something you could do your side.
Thanks again for taking the time to look into it!
Wonderful! Thanks so much for fixing it!
Sounds great... so... this to say that we can have >8 Sims in a household - but is there a new cap value?
Also, (slightly off-topic) you mentioned that the thumbnail generation code was reluctant to play nicely - but I assume this is either not integrated with, or has nothing to do with the in-game screenshot viewer? Even since the Pool Update, the viewer takes a nail-dragging long time to behave when you have more than a few dozen screencaps.
I was just wondering if this is the viewer's fault or if it was related to thumbnail generation. (600 screenies will lock the game up for 2-4 minutes on a very fast machine though the game runs like quicksilver on Ultra settings with uncompressed sim textures enabled!)
Yeah that will be an unrelated issue. I'll get our testing team to see if they can reproduce that.

This was because our thumbnail code was not happy with having more than 8 sims in the household. A fix is progress and will let you know when it is released.

I think this issue is back, and it has something to do with portrait generation. Any mod which allows 8+ sims in a household is causing a crash while saving it. If you use "save as" it will try to generate a portrait, and after awhile, it will crash.

Is that true in MC Command Center too? It's been updated. To my knowledge, no other 8+ household mods have been updated for the patch.
so they asked me to provide them my save file, and after checking my save file, deaderpool confirmed it on his discord server and said that it has something to do with EA's code unable to handle it. I ran some tests and found that the game is not generating portrait for a 8+ sim household. That's what causing the crash.
Is there any chance the thumbnail generation can be cap to 8 Sims again? The crash issue still persists since it resurfaced last year.
