Super Duper Hug FAQ
Hi everyone.Â
Iâve 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-fiâ, @keoni-chanâ and @deedee-simsâ. (Where, however, still unclear is whether they really have the bug.) Iâve the Super Duper Hug Bug, too. And I know some lots from me are âinfectedâ. And Iâm really really sorry that I doesnât inform you, but I through that was not are problem because it doesnât destroy the game or something.
I thought to overview I make a small FAQÂ
What is the Super Duper Hug Bug?
âThe 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.â -Â BoilingOil
Can it break my game?
As far as is known, no. But some Simmer doesnât 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 Oilâs No Sim Loaded and dolphin26âs Control This Sim.
Can I fix it at all?Â
No - âDolphinâs hack doesnât fix the Hug â 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 youâre already infected, No Sim Loaded just suppresses the Hug as well.
If youâll forgive the metaphor, the Super Duper Hug is like herpes â if you take appropriate precautions before you woohoo, you wonât get herpes. If you donât 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 donât have an outbreak or any symptoms, but you will never be truly cured, and you might pass it along to someone else.â - @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.Â
I find the opinion of  @dramallamadingdangâ  also justifiable:
â[âŠ] BUT! I donât think this should discourage anyone from downloading or sharing lots. Simply get BoilingOilâs mod and all is well. You never have to worry about the issue again. Itâs a mod that everyone ought to have, really. Same as the anti-corruption ones, if youâre a person who plays neighborhoods long-term.âŠThat 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. :)â
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 hasnât it⊠And I donât 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-fiâs and @deedee-sims Simblr. Â
Please like comment and improvements attach! ?
I donât have it (as far as I know of) just spreading the word :)
Went through SDH on my old laptop with my first ever downloads folder years ago(2011 maybe?) but still remember how annoying it can be.
Super helpful! I remember how I got this SHD thing back in like 2010 and had absolutely no idea what the hell is going on. Spreading the word so people won't get confused by this annoying bug!
