Streaming Errors Fix

Update: As of the Growing Together (1.96) Patch, this error has been fixed and this mod is unnecessary. Please remove it.

This mod fixes issues with streaming that occur for users who do not have the High School Years pack installed. If you own the High School Years pack, you do not need this mod.

What Does This Mod Fix?

This mod addresses the following error, which can be referenced on AHQ here.

As an exception, the error appears as follows:

Last Module Called: tunable_icon.py

Last Function Called: factory

Error message: [cjiang] Error invoking TunableCareerIconOverrideIconFactoryWrapper.factory (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'guid64'), CategoryID: tunable_icon:242

How Does the Mod Work?

The streaming interactions have a special tuning in them that basically allows for the icon of the interaction in the Sim's queue to change if the Sim has a specific career -- in this case, the streaming career for teens that comes from High School Years. The problem is that, since these interactions are base game/for City Living (the Social Media streaming) and the tuning to do this icon change references a career from HSY, users will not have the career if they do not have the pack installed. This causes a problem because how the code is written now it assumes that the career will always exist, but that no longer is a true invariant.

My mod simply makes this part of the code work as expected -- to simply show the Sim (or one of the Sim's, if there are multiple performing the interaction) icon in the queue if the Sim does not have the given career.
