Ren'Py 'StoreModule' object has no attribute - Error Message in Renpy

[SteelyDan14]

I am creating a MOD for an AVN. I load the game into the SDK and then add my code. After making changes and testing, I launch it from the SDK and it works perfectly. When I do a fresh install of the AVN, add my MOD files and then run it natively, I get this message.

I am assuming this error is happening because the AVN is using Renpy 7.4 while my SDK is 8.4. I use this exact same code in other MODS and it works fine so I am not sure why it would suddenly throw this error unless it was a versioning error. Google was very limited with responses regarding 'StoreModule' and any associated errors.

Is this a correct assumption, or is there something I am missing.

No idea about the api changes in 8.4 vs 7.4.
But just tossing out ideas for you.

Typo: cn.aff, Double-check for typos in aff or cn
Uninitialized Var: aff not defined, try Initialize self.aff = 0 in the constructor
Missing Object: cn not defined, Use define cn = Character("John")
Wrong Scope: Scope: Use define cn or default cn at global scope
Local Var Mistake: aff is local only, Use self.aff instead of aff

For the record... it is a versioning issue. I downloaded the 7.4.11 SDK and coded it to sync with that version. All is well.

I am assuming this error is happening because the AVN is using Renpy 7.4 while my SDK is 8.4.

*sigh*

Why the hell works on a 7.x project through a 8.x SDK?

Even more when it's a 7.4.11 Vs 8.4.0, therefore two versions separated by three years of constant development, improvement and additions. But, in the end the main issue stay that one is based on Python 2.x, while the other is based on Python 3.x that some deep syntax and behavior incompatibilities.
