Iāve 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-fiā, @keoni-chanā and @deedee-simsā. (Where, however, still unclear is whether they really have the bug.)
Iāve the Super Duper Hug Bug, too. And I know some lots from me areĀ āinfectedā.Ā
And Iām really really sorry that I doesnāt inform you, but I through that was not are problem because it doesnāt destroy the game or something.
I thought to overview I make a small FAQĀ
What is the Super Duper Hug Bug?
āThe 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.ā -Ā BoilingOil
As far as is known, no. But some Simmer doesnāt like the bug, becauseĀ it annoys them.
It gives two fixes who onlyĀ suppresses the bug, when you get it already.
Boiling Oilās No Sim Loaded and dolphin26ās Control This Sim.
No - āDolphinās hack doesnāt fix the Hug ā 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 youāre already infected, No Sim Loaded just suppresses the Hug as well.
If youāll forgive the metaphor, the Super Duper Hug is like herpes ā if you take appropriate precautions before you woohoo, you wonāt get herpes. If you donāt 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 donāt have an outbreak or any symptoms, but you will never be truly cured, and you might pass it along to someone else.ā - @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.Ā
I find the opinion of Ā @dramallamadingdangā Ā also justifiable:
ā[ā¦]Ā BUT! I donāt think this should discourage anyone from downloading or sharing lots. Simply get BoilingOilās mod and all is well. You never have to worry about the issue again. Itās a mod that everyone ought to have, really. Same as the anti-corruption ones, if youāre a person who plays neighborhoods long-term.ā¦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. :)ā
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 hasnāt itā¦ And I donāt know why.. Ā 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-fiās and @deedee-sims Simblr. Ā
