can't activate pressure washer (On the Hills w/ Seasons)

[BitFarmer]

Hey,

I loaded up a new game to try out the "Seasons" mod with the "On the Hills" map. Everything was going fine. Plowed first 2 fields, then purchased a pressure washer and placed it around the main farm. For some reason it refuses to activate. When I quit the game, I discovered that it would no longer load my save.

I then started a new game and tried to purchase another pressure washer; same thing happens. This time I did not save, but quit immediately. The game reloaded fine. Purchased the pressure washer again, but tried several different locations, all to no avail.

I've attached my log file.

Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas.

Ok, so it seems to be a problem that is specific to the "On the Hills" map, because it does not occur in Lossberg with the Seasons mod active.

Wonder why there is an error with the Seasons mod...

I have experienced the same thing. I tried On the Hills without Seasons, and it worked fine. Seasons works very well on other maps. My conclusion was that there is some incompatibility between the latest version of On the Hills (which was supposed to be specifically updated for Seasons) and the Seasons mod. I have no idea how to fix it and was hoping to see an update soon.

This is a bug with the replacement textures specified in the map. There is a fix given in the linked post below. It is in German, but hopefully possible to understand

Thank you, Reallogger. Unfortunately, I can't read German, and I wouldn't want this attempt to be my first effort at replacing textures. It should help other more experienced modders, though. Maybe I'll just wait for The West Coast.

In the zip file of the map there is a file named seasons_textures.xml. The last post says you should replace the content with what I've copied down below. Please note I have not tested this myself.

Thanks again. I'll give this a shot.

[Henry471]

Oh wow! I did it! It works! Thank you very, very much! My first edit of an .xml file.

Glad you made it to work. Well done

Thanks so much for posting this solution. I had forgotten to select "notify me when a reply is posted" so just discovered your response today... I am also now able to use your wonderful mod with "On the Hills."

Sweet!
