Query Button Glitch

[kimyuseung 0]

Hey guys, so my Query Button is not working on certain downloaded buildings, LOTS, BATS, etc... what ever they're called; it works fine for all default Maxis object that I can tell by so far. Some examples on what the Query Button is not working on: SG's schools, some industrial BATS (*or LOTS, IDK the difference), some commercial BATS (*) and some residential BATS (*). I'm going to place my bet of the cause of this glitch on some BAT, LOT, Dependency, etc... that I downloaded today or yesterday. I highly doubt that my computer specs are going to be relevant so I won't put them. Can someone help? Thanks.

Is your game fully updated?

Some downloads also have dependencies that are required for the queries to work. Make sure you download all of these.

you will probably need to get the essentials files for various groups like NDEX essentials, BSC essentials SFBT essentials etc

My game is fully updated and I'm not missing any files, (well I am but that's not the cause) the query button worked on everything earlier on the BATS/LOTS before I downloaded something else today; what ever I downloaded today is causing this to happen.

Testing new downloads is part of the use of custom content. Take all the new stuff out to a separate folder, then put them back one at a time until you find out which one it is. When you do, examine all the documentation to see if you missed something. If not, then scrap the plugin.

We can't test all plugins, especially in combinations. This is an NP-complete problem that can only be resolved by the user.

I was afraid I was going to have to do that since in downloaded 21 things yesterday, sigh.... this is going to take awhile. Thanks for the help.

Pull them all out, then put half of them back and test. If all is OK, put back half of what's left, etc. You will eventually isolate this, but a binary search of 21 items will only take four or five tries maximum. Use the routine in my Binary Search thread pinned above.
