Maxis Resolver Error Fix

Added 2023-06-04 15:19:58 +0000 UTC

Change Log - 25/08/2023
-Reworked the mod, it is now a single .ts4script file that no longer has any pack requirements. It should resolve any cases of the EA DoubleSimResolver error, regardless of what pack it pops up in. Please delete all old files of this fix, as they are no longer needed.
The main reason I made this change was to make it much less likely to break when EA patches the game, as the xml files that were involved may end up having things added or removed without warning at any point.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a small mod to fix an error that occurs due to EA incorrectly tuning participants in some loots of theirs, resulting in one of the following two errors, depending on the cause:

Last Module Called: resolver.py
Last Function Called: get_participants
Error message: Exception raised while trying to run a test event in test_events.py: (ValueError: Trying to use DoubleSimResolver with unsupported participant: ParticipantType.Listeners), CategoryID: resolver:890

Last Module Called: resolver.py
Last Function Called: get_participants
Error message: Exception raised while processing zone spin up sequence: Trying to use DoubleSimResolver with unsupported participant: ParticipantType.Listeners (ValueError: Trying to use DoubleSimResolver with unsupported participant: ParticipantType.Listeners), CategoryID: resolver:905

(the second error occurs when starting the Finding Love after Breakup Scenario, and also generates Error Code: 121:8a89078a:20b7ee56 - "Me Too" this AHQ thread linked here for this issue). A more detailed explanation can be found here

In each case, it causes abnormal game behaviour - for instance, interior decorator gigs not ending correctly, or with the second error, the scenario not starting properly.

Installation:

Place the .ts4script file no more than 1 subfolder deep within \Mods
Ensure both Script Mods and Custom Content are enabled within your game settings.
