  • I have realized that I need to put my attempt at this challenge on hold, because I made the terrible mistake of starting this challenge with my patch 69 version of the game within the EA app, and the app is always giving me a hard time. I cannot play either Sims 3 or Sims 4 because the EA app needs me to be online whenever…
  • Are you using a Sims 3 store world or a custom world? Maybe the world file needs to be reinstalled. I receive an error message whenever I try to play a file using the Riverview world, because it's a store world that I have not reinstalled since the EA App had issues with installed store items. The error message states…
  • Yes! I opt out of the celebrity system for most of my households, too. As for supernaturals, I don't mind if the world is mostly filled with supernaturals, but often I just want to play with a normal household in a normal world so seeing a supernatural just spawn out of nowhere is not great in that case. It was a big…
  • Ambitions is my favorite expansion, as I like the self-employed careers it added, but the expansions are all good for their different features. It's hard for me to pick a least favorite as they all added something that impacted gameplay. I do use some features less, like traveling and I tend to have most weather effects…
  • I don't like the absent minded trait. It's annoying when sims just drop everything in their queue for no reason. The vehicle enthusiast trait is not annoying but it's useless, because EA did not do enough with cars to make the trait more interesting. It would have been nice if cars were more realistic in that they broke…
  • Thank you! I'll have to check that out.
  • Can your sim's lover send a woohooty text to him as invitation? If you place a callbox from the Late Night expansion onto a residential lot, does he show up in the npc list (it can take some sim days to populate the list though)? If you go into edit world and try merging another household with your active one, does he show…
  • I haven't posted in a while as real-life stuff prevented me from accessing the computer that had this particular save on it. So, things in the horsacy have progressed slowly, and I am not doing too well when it comes to the scoring for the challenge, as I used cheats several times to fix randomly generated townies to make…
  • Sunshine and Arranbee became parents! Their foal, named Battat: Battat has the aggressive trait (so pets don't inherit traits from their parents, it seems), and while she is currently friends with her mother and father she frequently attempts to bite and stamp at them. This has spooked her mother out on occasion as…
  • I like your park with the lanterns!
  • The last few days have been lucky ones for Arranbee the horse. He has made good progress with his racing skill and won 4 beginner races, and two advanced ones, as well. However, between Gemette's sleep schedule, basic care for the horse, the garden she's been tending and the home's frequent need of plumbing maintenance and…
  • I am working on this challenge. I've not attempted any challenges before, but I have been playing a household with a horse and am trying this one out. So far, I have a household that does contain a young adult with the equestrian trait, and a foal. I set the lifespan to long, with horses living 175 sim days. The sim and…
  • Thank you! That is interesting. I didn't know mermaids were in ancient Greek stories.
  • I've been playing one save in Isla Paradiso so far. It has a household made of five young adult sims who are roommates. They all have parents that live in Isla Paradiso as well, but I am just having fun playing with these girls. The household members are Cayli (mermaid), Gilly (mermaid), Tyrania (mermaid), Vanda (mermaid),…
  • This sounds great! I hope kids can ride horses this time around. That is my gripe regarding horses in the sims 3; that kids cannot ride horses (well, that and how the galloping animation gets messed up as horses max their racing skill). Even if kids can ride ponies (short horses) instead of the standard height horse that…
  • Do you like to play premade sims or create your own? I prefer to create my own sims, but do on occasion play premade households. Do you make stories out of your sims, play sims for challenges (ex: Not So Berry or challenges you make for yourself), for science reasons, play for achievements or just play the ts3 without…
  • I started playing TS3 in 2020. It is my current favorite of the Sims.
  • I prefer my sims to sleep as long as they want. I hate that the carpool wakes them immediately. I feel they should only be woken if they own an alarm clock. I'd prefer they be late and well rested or just miss work and suffer the consequences of bad job performance. Sims get promoted too easily in the sims 3. I like the…
  • I had a recent issue where my game would crash to desktop whenever I tried placing a lot just outside the routable border of a world. The world editor would allow me to place a lot down but if I tried to put a premade lot onto the empty lot, the game would crash. No warning, just crash to desktop immediately. I just…
  • I just remembered that I only have my active households living on houseboats right now though. I moved all the inactive premade families into land houses through edit town mode, because I had read that they can have routing issues if allowed to stay on their houseboats.
  • I am loving Isla Paradiso so far and have only played houseboats in that world at the moment. I just installed that expansion a month ago and wish I had started playing with that expansion sooner, because it has some nice features. I don't have a way to upload pictures onto this message board yet, but I did take a few…
  • Dogs and cats guarding their pet bowls and pet beds all day! It is unrealistic and I'd prefer them walking around and sniffing stuff, or tearing furniture all their waking day or playing with their toys instead of just sitting in one spot in front of their bed or bowl continuously. It gets so bad sometimes, that I have…
  • Something else that I like about the Sims 3 is how the ability to edit the world allows the player some control over what kinds of jobs and opportunities the sims partake in. If I remove the business or hospital building, then sims cannot join the business or medical career. If I remove the school buildings, then teens and…
  • Y yellowjacket
  • That sounds like a fun start to a sim's household! But I am also confused as to how an unlucky sim can die in any other way but old age?
  • An official way to create our own neighborhoods. Personality points like that of the Sims 1 and Sims 2 that affect the sims' autonomous behaviors. Sims not staring at their phones as much. Being able to sell the phone if we don't want the sim to have one.
  • The Sims 1 is the most difficult to work with. I can make diagonal walls but not put stuff on them, and there are no foundations. If I place decor or lights on the wall, it will always be visible and block my view. There was no way to customize the colors and texture of the furniture and build items in game like the Sims 3.
  • I like being able to choose the gender preferences of my sims in TS4's CAS, rather than having to play with them in game to force them to prefer a certain gender like in the previous games. I like that there is fashion and hair that can be worn by either gender; that I can add body hair to female sims without them being a…
  • I like the makeover. I like the darker skin tones, but Alexander could have been lighter. I agree with the simmer above me, in that mixed race people are not just a medium or light brown. Mixed race people can be very light and dark in skin, too. It's just my opinion, but the Sims 4 needs personality points like the Sims…
  • I have more examples from the sims 3, but it's not so much weird as silly and disturbing. The sims have creepy behaviors, such as inviting my sims to cuddle with them despite my sims barely knowing the other sim. And by inviting, I don't mean that there is a message asking if my sim wants to cuddle but forcing the cuddle…
