How to Fix Wicked Whims Not Working
To fix the issue of Wicked Whims not working, ensure you don't have Wonderful Whims installed as it causes conflicts with Wicked Whims. If you have it installed, delete it and also delete the localthumbcache.package file.
If the problem persists, here are some additional troubleshooting tips to fix the Wicked Whims not working issue:
- Delete the
localthumbcache.packagefile. Removing this file whenever you add or remove mods is a good practice to avoid conflicts. - Check for occupied items. Wicked Whims does not work if the item is occupied, including by the Sim you want to perform the actions with.
- Wicked Whims doesn't work with Teen Sims. If you’re trying to control a teenager, note that the regular WW mod no longer supports interactions for teens.
- Check how deep the Wicked Whims folder is. It should be placed directly in the Mods folder and not nested further within subfolders.
- Enable both Mods and Scripts. Go to Game Options > Other and check the boxes for Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed.
