You can't. As I explained in my earlier PM to you, that LE has nothing to do with a package resource. There is no ID number specifying a particular object or XML tuning or other item that would be contained in a package. It's purely a script error associated with the Charmingbirch_Careers_Retail mod. There may be a package also associated with that mod; however, as the LE doesn't mention any resource IDs there is nothing you can search for.

ETA - Sorry if you thought I was implying you were being rude or out of place in asking your question -- if I had thought that, you can be assured I would NOT have bothered to answer you in a PM to begin with. I can see how you might have gotten that impression though, so again sorry for that.

1) Thank you so much for making this mod; 2) Additional thanks for mentioning TurboDriver's LE page and linking to that. I was completely unaware that it existed and feel like I've crawled out from under a rock to see the sun shining. (Until now, I've always researched my LEs over at Deaderpool's Discord channel.) Now I have multiple tools!

The volunteer helpers on Deaderpool's Discord are helping Turbo out with that website to make it more complete as additional LEs get "decoded", so yes, big kudos to those folks as well!

your LE doesn't appear to have been caused by a piece of cc but a broken gameplay mod so this program does not apply. Just go to the sites linked in reply to you.

When I try to extract this I'm getting an error. WinRAR tells me the operation can't be completed because 'no archives have been found'.

I opened with 7zip as WinZIP refused to open it.

I'm using 7-Zip and it will not open. Going to try to use WinRAR I guess. Never had this problem before.

While I have never had an issue with 7zip, sometimes files get corrupted during the download process...

...if anyone is having an issue extracting the file, my suggestion would be (1) use 7zip, and (2) try redownloading it.

Can you get me a screenshot of the unhandled exception, or copy/paste the text of it into a message?

Thanks, I'll take a look at that and see if it's obvious what went wrong or if I'm going to have to figure out what's different about your mods folder from my own to get the bug to trigger so I can see it in action.

@limefiend - My best guess is that one of your package files is invalid or corrupt, or you had the game open when you attempted to perform searches. Both errors are handled in the program now, so hopefully today's update should fix your issue!

i tried again with the bugfix, but i wasnt in game either time and the same error popped up with today's version too so i must have some corrupt packages :/

Hmm, must be something I'm not testing somewhere that can sometimes be invalid from an errror. I'll look into this some more. I wish we knew which package was causing issues for you so I could get a copy of that file to get a good look at what's causing it.

Maybe doing a full scan ("Verify Readability of All Resources in Packages" checked) in TS4 Package Conflict Detector would indicate which package might be causing this.

I'm using this along with lastexception.com and nothing seems to be coming up when I search with the number?

Deep Gard from my virus program wont allow/is blocking the istallation of this program. Reason: Suspicious:W32/Malware!

My guess is that you are seeing a false positive, but it's possible the file got modified somewhere between MTS and yourself. I've just tested both the MSI installer and EXE only files (freshly downloaded from MTS) and those test clean on my home system (Malwarebytes and ESET AV) and when submitted to VirusTotal they scan clean on 67 out of 69 AV testers. The two that show possible malware are programs I've never heard of, so their results are highly suspected as being false positives.

Deep Gard is part of F-Secure, and the files I sent to VirusTotal are tested by F-Secure as being clean, so that seems odd. I'd suggest redownloading the file to make sure that you didn't somehow get a copy modified by some Internet cache server in between yourself and MTS -- better safe than sorry!

Thanks scumbumbo. I'm not saying that you added Malware, it's my F-Secure Deep Gard that said it has Maleware. So it wont let me install. I will download again and see if it works. Will let you know. (I downloaded the .exe file)


ETA: Just donwloaded your file again and now it works. (strange)

No problem, didn't think you were saying that, was just checking to be sure. I did have my account hacked once here on MTS and some malware was uploaded to one of my mods -- so it's best to be safe!

Glad it's working for you now, likely F-Secure had a false positive that they fixed in an update.

Well, my first download was last night at 10 pm my time and second download was 11 pm an hour later after I read your response.. It's strange that just an hour later it works. But yeah, glad it works now. Thanks again dear for checking into it and for the fast responses
