    Kiss and Make Up reaction reverted my sim couple back to love interest and no matter what I do, Rebound Kiss will not work. I played Sims 3 without Twallan's mods and just some clothes CC and hair.

    Because EA is monitoring this, I'm putting this up, so maybe they'll fix
    it. I have no mods or downloadable content on my game.


    When I start the game, at the menu and during game play the little box with my profile picture and username just says username.

    It is impossible for me to play on sunset valley because, after I choose a house to move into the screen doesn't even load it just sits there.

    I also can't move into any university homes because I have the same problem as I do with sunset valley; the game doesn't go into loading mode.

    Please EA if you read this, fix these bugs, I payed 40 dollars for this game and I'm not exactly pleased it's not working correctly.

    I've had this bug since, I think Pets. So I don't believe it to be a university issue. Very annoying none-the-less though.

    Yeah, after I made this post, my daughter said she'd seen it before University.

    Having a BG compatibility problem. I cannot move into a dormitory because the BG does not recognize the Uni EP. All of the new items show up, but there is no description, just the price, also the meet and greets do not work either. The community lot names do not show up.

    my sim is stuck in the hospital. she has her child and then she pops out and has another after another. Also, for a family i made before i got university. It doesn't recognized the baby is in the family. So, babies are bringing trouble. Another thing with the family hat the mother is stuck in the hospital.i saved before she went when i replayed. i went back on later when i stopped playing without saving and now no one in the family but the mother is there.

    Did you try reseting her when she is stuck in the hospital?

    I've noticed saving problems after patch 1.50.

    If there's snow on the ground, and I choose to save the game, the saving-screen seems to get stuck. It saves forever. The game doesn't crash or freezing, it just save in iternity, so I have to force the game to quit. Also when the game is loading/working (like when youre about to move out a sim etc) this happen.

    Saving the game when theres no sow works fine. So it is the snow.

    I never had this problem before the University patch.

    I thought there was a recent update that fixed weather within roofed in areas. Still noticing it happening with University Life venues. The video I attached is of the pool (swimming) building, and although covered, the man is using his umbrella, since it's raining outside. He's been using it throughout the game, so I don't think it's an "inappropriate" trait.

    I have a problem with my UniLife pack. My sims don't gain any influence in any social group no matter what jobs/dares they do. When I check on the smartphone, nothing shows up as having been done (for example: my sim did 10 dumpster dives, but the smartphone still said zero). Also, my sims cannot use the major-specific objects. My science major can't do anything with the skeleton, the sim will get the option to study, but then shows up on another part of the screen. My sims can't use the grafitti paint kit, nor can they do anything with science machine. And lastly, my sims can't go bowling, although when you click on it, it gives you the option. Again, when they try to go bowling or play table tennis, they start and then show up in another part of the screen. Although they can play juice pong.


    1. Are you using any Custom Content or mods ? No
    2. If you are using mods, are you using any of the 'big ones' like Awesome Mod or Twallan’s mods No
    3. If you're not using mod, did you never use them or did you take them out for the EP (as you are supposed to do) Never used them.

    I'm having an issue with my Sim not returning home after 2 semesters of University. He does not have enough credits to graduate yet. I saved the game before trying to return him back home. Here's what's happening: the semester finishes, the game attempts to take him back to his hometown - the load screen for the hometown starts up, the loading bar gets to 100% then the game reverts back to the University town. Once in the university town I can see his needs bar but not his picture nor his avatar. The game also loads up his Frat brothers like I can control them, but I can't. [I hope all that makes sense]

    1. Are you using any Custom Content or mods ? No
    2. If you are using mods, are you using any of the 'big ones' like Awesome Mod or Twallan’s mods No
    3. If you're not using mod, did you never use them or did you take them out for the EP (as you are supposed to do) Never used them.
    4. Did you update the mods you put back with a compatible version ? N/A
    5. Do you have University Life or just the Patch ? University Life
    6. Which Patch Level are you at ? whatever the latest one is.
    7. Did you start a new game or are you playing an existing ones ? Existing game.
    8. Did you transfer an existing Sim over or are they new/Pre-Made ? New sim - had him for a while before Uni game out.
    9. What town are you currently playing ? EA or Custom ? Custom.
    10. What is your Operating System (Mac, XP, Vista, Win 7) ? Win7
    11. Do you have the download or DVD Version of the game ? DVD

    Please answer the following questions with every bug report

    12. Are you reporting for the Uni-World, Home-World or WA-World ? Uni-World and homeworld. The sim seems to be stuck in limbo between the two.

    Update: Tried NRaas's error capture tool and the game crashes at startup.
    Tried editing the uni town, and more specifically the frat house with my sim. The game is acting as if no sims live in the house when I try to edit. I ended up changing the lot type to residential and now all the sims there are gone, including the one I had been controlling.

    When I tried to edit the hometown from the university edit town menu, I get stuck in a loop where the hometown will try to load then kicks me back to the university town.

    Any help with this would be appreciated.

    I've looked through every glitch reported and I haven't seen this one, apologies if I missed it. I've noticed some sims appear to have sunk below the floor and you can't see them at all, only their thought bubbles or if they're holding something (for example if a sim gets a drink at the bar you can see a glass right against the floor). They appear to still be able to move around freely and interact with objects normally. I can't click on them at all so I don't even know who they are to try and reset them and see if that works. And it's hard to know how widespread the problem is because unless I see a thought bubble they're completely invisible.

    Here's a picture of one of the sims I've come across with this problem. The glass moved across the floor. Note how they were still able to use the bar as normal.

    Not sure about its been reported, but 60 pages of bug reports was just too much to read, honestly.

    Anyways, after getting back from university ALL my stocked food in fridge was gone, had over 500-1000 of each fruit/vegetable and about 100-200 fish of every type (up until Showtime)

    all the hours tending garden, fishing and prowling for seeds wasted.... :(

    Just reporting another bug I just noticed the other evening. I've had at least two different couples get married and they received wedding gifts in the mail and I noticed with both couples that the option to write thank you notes wasn't there and I know it was there before patch 1.50 and University. Don't know if anybody else noticed this or not. Before patch 1.50, I know it was there because I had someone get married and the option to write thank you notes was there. Hope the Guru's look into this as well.

    Just got university life, and my first sim has finished her degree. She has a job. But she cannot "go to work" - it just drops out of her queue as soon as it appears. I've even tried taking her to the building to click "go to work" from there, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    I think I have solved the problem to the returning home issues.
    I like everyone else had the problem of the moving van arriving my sim getting in only to appear back outside of it again ending up stuck in the university world. So out of frustration one day I decided to object/delete it the van just after my sim appeared back outside of it and voila the travelling home screen popped up and I was back in my home town. My guess is the attachment issue is something to do with the moving van and by deleting it while your sim is in the middle of moving, deletes the problem.
    I hope this helps everyone else because I know its been driving me crazy.

    My sims can't interact with others. They have the options that are there before you greet anyone but when I greet a sim they both jump and snap back to where they were. It has only happened recently. I can't even pic up a baby. (I'm not currently in a university world)

    I did install overwatch to try and fix my family tree (my teen had randomly been disowned) I have uninstalled it since.

    I have tried the game without cc and mods.
    I have tried moving my family out and into another world.
    My graphics card is good.
    My pc's memory is good.
    I'm using windows 7 (if that's important)
    I have a downloaded version of the game from origin.

    I don't know what to do, I couldn't find this glitch anywhere else. Please help?
