My first mod. Whoa. :shock:

*some time later*

Ok, it works.

Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?61bkyci3h9kvqbj

Put the file in your documents/electronic arts/the sims 3/mods/packages/ folder.

Tutorial here: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Sims_3:Installing_Package_Files

The problem comes from the racing skill reaching level 10. When you do it changes the animation to the 'fastest'(read 'broken') one. I simply changed it so the animation wouldn't appear until level 11 ie when pigs fly.
The mod changes the 'racing' xml. Check with Delphy's Dashboard for conflicts.

Hi , um how do you use the download? I checked the page you advised and it was all about monkey heads or something =/ So confusing

Dweiathecat

Right.
Is this page easier? http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Setup_and_Files

1. Make sure your game is patched. It probably is since you've got pets...
2. Download the framework (the 'mods' folder) and extract it and then place it in your 'documents/electronic arts/the sims 3/' folder. Then put my file in the 'documents/electronic arts/the sims 3/mods/packages/' folder.
3. Delete the cache files from your 'documents/electronic arts/the sims 3/' folder(Here they are: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/01/faq-delete-your-cache-files.html Very useful page)
4. Start your game and test it.
5. I hope it works. :P

You're welcome.

This fix still works with patch 1.34 and should work for 1.36 as there were no changes for pets listed but I will test it.

On an other note, Nona's Sims have created a mod that makes the jumping and racing challenges very easy and it conflicts with my mod. Luckly she added the fix to her mod.

Just to let you know Dweiathecat, I just patched to 1.36/got diesel and it's working fine still :-)

Schantal

Thank you for this mod hun :-). Does it interfere with Twallans Master Controller and Woohooer mods? Thanks :-).

Thx.

Schantal

Thanks for responding hun :-).

Schantal

It said the package is either unknown format or damaged :-(. I believe it's damaged because I use WinZip and Winrar and never have any issues with .package files...is there another site where we can download it thats not mediafire?

It's damaged?! What said that? *will re-upload just-in-case*

Edit: Done. New link posted. See if it works now.

Schantal

Thanks hun, where is the new link though, I can't find it :-(?

It was Winrar that gave me the error that it was a damaged file :-(. I even tried it on my other comp with a different program and it still gave me the same error. I will download the new link though and see what happens...let me know where the link is and I will go download it right away :-). Thanks again for this, I am excited to have my horses running normal again.

cosmiccathorse

Dwei? Can you help me out? It's about your mod, see this thread please. http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/559524.page

Schantal

Hey hun I just went to your original thread and clicked the link, but the new file isn't up yet. When I go to the media fire link you posted it says "Deleted or Invalid" file at the top of the mediafire page? Did you put the new link somewhere else? Thanks :-).

Schantal

Dweiathecat, It doesn't work hun. I am going to link to the error I get so you can see it. I don't see another link posted, just that one and it said it's either invalid or deleted. Below is the link to the page I get.

EternitysShadow

if anyone can't get the link to work for some reason, I'd be happy to email you the package file :-)

Dweiathecat

Sorry for not replying, I was in Denmark.

It's funny because I can find it no problem.

What about now?
