Hi.. Coming with a bit of a strange question! There's this item I've used in a long while (years) but apparently since the new update, it breaks my game, as in, as soon as I click it it makes everything else unclickable, sims won't move anymore, time will freeze etc. I don't know if it interacts with something new because I only had to update a few mods for the patch :/ but I do have a lot of CC. Anyways, it's basically a chinese jewelry box but in reality it's a computer. Because I run a couple of neighborhoods that are only entirely ancient Asia themed, I really rely on this item to not break the game immersion :/ My idea was trying to see if opening it, taking out the mesh and reimporting it on a different base computer would fix it (just a random attempt since I have no idea what the problem is) but it looks like this item alone won't open in studio (studio crashes upon trying) :/ I have other items from the same theme/creator I think (they're all in Chinese so that's my guess) and those show up fine in studio, but this won't. Is there some other way to open the file? Or does anyone know what it could be? Did the patch affect something in custom computers maybe? I hope there is a way to understand what the problem is because I've used this item for so long and it's so beautiful T_T I can add a link to the package here in case anyone manages to open it, maybe it's just me who can't? Who knows! Thanks in advance! www.dropbox.com/s/krkemz1vljrt8r0/QS150820%E5%A5%81.package?dl=0

Most likely it is not compatible neither with the newest game nor with Studio. This file can't be open with current version of Studio, not sure what program was used to make it.

I tried looking into it, but I'm afraid this is a lost cause. I've tried cloning, opening in s4pe and following this tutorial, doing some weird deleting/replacing in S4S, and a couple of other things and not a single thing has worked. The files seem to be completely corrupted. You need to contact the creator if they are still around and ask them to fix it if they can, or if they have the original meshes to remake it. Sorry!

Or how about opening another one of their objects and checking the creator name in the Warehouse (if you think it's the same creator at least)? Or do you have the original picture of it? Maybe Google Images can find it.

I do, I kinda found it here LOL. game.ali213.net/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=5671657&pid=98845307 literally as an attachment to the post. I don't even remember how I got there, probably from google search. Where would the name be in the warehouse? I think the mesh may not be extractable on purpose (is that even a thing? I recall reading some people do this) because I found that mesh on a website with free 3d models but it has to be purchased >-<

The name is on the right side under the blank category, but in one of the files I just tested it's "justarandomname" which I think is from TSRW or something they put in, I have no idea. I would try making an account and messaging the person who posted the box (using translator), it seems like they might be the creator.

Actually I just downloaded another custom computer in the shape of a weaving loom.. and it does the same exact thing (completely freezes everything).
So while the jewelry box file is unopenable, it looks like that may not be the problem. Maybe it's CC computers, but I haven't seen anything mentioned on the web about it... Strange. I did it also when I took out all the mods except for the box, so I suspect it's something with the expansion :/ How strange :/
