Are you aware that Brikstone chateau of twikkii island makeover has de SDHB bug? Cuz i got a notifcation form Chris hatch SDHB detector it burned but pleas be aware of this bug. I thought i kindly let you know.
Hi! I've been told that some of my older lots have SDHB. If you have Chris Hatch's mod then his mod will remove the bug.
I make sure to clean my new lots better and have the SDHB mod installed but my older lots could still have it.
Hi everyone.
I’ve read the last days about the notites from a few Simmers, who has get the Super Duber Hug Bug from downloading lots from other Simblrs like @simper-fi, @keoni-chan and @deedee-sims. (Where, however, still unclear is whether they really have the bug.) I’ve the Super Duper Hug Bug, too. And I know some lots from me are “infected”. And I’m really really sorry that I doesn’t inform you, but I through that was not are problem because it doesn’t destroy the game or something.
I thought to overview I make a small FAQ
What is the Super Duper Hug Bug?
“The Debug Super Duper Hug is a special autonomous testing interaction that allows any sim to hug any other sim without the fear of being rejected. This hug is very effective and make sims into friends very fast. Some people [modders] use it as a template for creating new interactions, where the original is kept on as a fallback. When such a mod is later removed, the Super Duper Hug is then introduced by the game to compensate for the missing interaction. My No Sim Loaded mod protects against this annoying phenomenon.” - BoilingOil
Can it break my game?
As far as is known, no. But some Simmer doesn’t like the bug, because it annoys them.
How can I fix it?
It gives two fixes who only suppresses the bug, when you get it already.
Boiling Oil’s No Sim Loaded and dolphin26’s Control This Sim.
Can I fix it at all?
No - “Dolphin’s hack doesn’t fix the Hug – it just suppresses the problem. You still have it in your game and can infect other games. There is no cure for the Hug, but there is a vaccine: if you install No Sim Loaded before you do anything that might cause the Hug, then you will never get it. If you’re already infected, No Sim Loaded just suppresses the Hug as well.
If you’ll forgive the metaphor, the Super Duper Hug is like herpes – if you take appropriate precautions before you woohoo, you won’t get herpes. If you don’t take appropriate precautions and you end up with herpes, you will have it for the rest of your life. You can take medication to suppress it so that you don’t have an outbreak or any symptoms, but you will never be truly cured, and you might pass it along to someone else.” - @esmeiolanthe
Can I still upload my Lots if I have the bug? And I may even still download Lots of others?
In my own opinion, you can do what you want. The Super Duper Hug should forbid you nothing or you take the fun of playing Sims. It would just be helpful to others, when you write to that you have the SDHB in your game so that they can know and decide for yourself. Many also have no problems with the bug.
I find the opinion of @dramallamadingdang also justifiable:
“[…] BUT! I don’t think this should discourage anyone from downloading or sharing lots. Simply get BoilingOil’s mod and all is well. You never have to worry about the issue again. It’s a mod that everyone ought to have, really. Same as the anti-corruption ones, if you’re a person who plays neighborhoods long-term.…That said, anyone who knows for certain that they have the Super Hug and who shares lots ought to let people know about this. In fact, probably everyone who shares lots, period, should let others know about this, since lot sharing is how the bug propagates between users. So, consider this MY notice, as a person who shares lots. :)”
Important to know is, when you have the SDHB in your game not all of your Lots are infected! So some of my Lots have it, like the Pleasant House Makeover or the Storm Dorm, but some of my houses hasn’t it… And I don’t know why.. May be someone of you has an answer. :)
I hope I have answered the main questions. Most of the information I have from the Replies of @simper-fi’s and @deedee-sims Simblr.
Please like comment and improvements attach! ?
I saw some posts about the “Super Hug Bug”. Just reblog this old post of mine. Also the comments are useful. Maybe it helps. ^^’
Spread the word!
I’m sure I’ve posted this before but it bears repeating. I honestly don’t know if my game has it or not, but I have No Sim Loaded installed so it doesn’t really matter! Get it yourself if you download lots from anyone at all. Use protection folks!
Sorry to fill y'all’s dash with info about this thing again, but I feel it’s important to add that, since Frottana made this summary post, Boiling Oil (the creator of the “No Sim Loaded” mod) confirmed that neither his mod nor Dolphin’s older one will “immunize” you from the Hug code being activated. So, those mods will not “protect” you if you do not already have the code active in your game. What they will do is suppress the code if it’s already active in your game or if it becomes active after installing the mod. It was thought for a number or years that they did “protect” you if you did not yet have the code active, yes – and I was one person who passed around that info – but it turns out that it isn’t true. I had made a post about this new info a while back.
The bottom line is that, if you download lots, then the code is very likely active in your game and you just don’t know it because you have a mod that’s suppressing it, as it is one of the standard recommended mods, at least if you hang out on the MTS forums. However, this is not something to panic or worry about. The code does not and cannot harm your game as it already exists in everyone’s game. It’s not a “bug” or a “glitch” or a “virus,” as I’ve seen it varyingly called, with greater and lesser amounts of hysteria. It’s just code used by the developers of the game to test things and that isn’t normally active, just like a whole bunch of other stuff in debug mode. (That’s the stuff you can access when you have “testingcheats” enabled.) So, stop any hysteria, get a suppression mod and advise others to do the same, and get on with your playing and lot-sharing and whatnot.
That said, I remember reading, probably on the MTS boards, claims that something in Chris Hatch’s adult “T&A” expansion pack can prevent the code from activating and Chris confirming that this was the case. I remember there being talk of him separating it out from the EP but that he wasn’t sure if it could be done. I didn’t really pay much attention at that point because, frankly, I was completely over worrying about the issue at that time and was content to just have one of the existing suppression mods in my game. But there’s that. So, if someone wants to continue to be obsessed over the thing, then they could install that EP – if it’s been archived somewhere since Back Alley Sims’s closure – but of course doing so would add a lot of things to the game that some folks would consider unsavory and, even if they don’t, that also conflicts with a lot of other existing mods out there. So…yeah.
Chris Hatch Lot Cleaner - http://www.simfileshare.net/download/420871/
Put this in your downloads folder. Open the game and go to the lot you’re editing. Take lot cleaner out of the catalogue (it looks like a big lamp), place it and then delete. Save the lot, package it etc. Chris recommended taking it out of the downloads folder when it’s not needed as it will remove all controllers as soon as it’s pulled out of the catalogue, which might mess up a favourite lot if you do it by mistake!
Chris Hatch also shared a mod that will apparently detect and delete the hug from a lot. I haven’t tried it out myself yet but it can be downloaded from this thread:
