    When two of my sims try to take a photo together they can't do it - they are just standing there waiting, you know, like when they are going to change clothes and nothing is happening!

    Although, my sim can take romantic photos together?

    Ok so this reallyyy annoyed me, saved my game normal and logged on next day to find this on the load menu:

    <a href="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/Ambajay93/media/b6e9772b-55c5-4a1e-bfec-c01affa5b552_zps11d169fd.jpg.html&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag105/Ambajay93/b6e9772b-55c5-4a1e-bfec-c01affa5b552_zps11d169fd.jpg&quot; border="0" alt=" photo b6e9772b-55c5-4a1e-bfec-c01affa5b552_zps11d169fd.jpg"/></a>

    Half of my family ended up invisible and resetSim didn't work. I got so frustrated I deleted the world and started a new one but does anyone know how to fix this if it happens again? I got soo far with this legacy and don't want to have it happen again,
    Thanks.
    Back after a 5year break away.
    I mainly build. I don't use CC just 'moveobjects'.
    Was mainly known on the good old sims 3 forums.

    That's caused by patch 1.55 which broke the take pic together however it does work on romantic just not friendly anymore.

    Hello does anyone know when an update patch will be available for IP I've struggle with the glitches but now it doesn't seem to be working properly at all. It's not freezing but the Sims are not doing their action and the time has stopped moving for about 4-10 hours and I can't work out why it wasn't doing t yesterday and now it just not working. If I need to re install everything that could take about 2 days as I have a bad internet connection. please can some tell me there's another way as I've restarted about 3-4 times and the same thing is happening

    I've just discovered this problem when playing Island Paradise. When I try to enroll in University and leave for college. Instead of taking me to the screen to select where my sim will stay, it takes me to the edit households menu like if I was playing the university town for reals. Because of this I cant go to college, anyone know anything to help? I have no CC or mods right now.

    I know this won't get added to the list or anything, but I think I found the cause of the "Mermaids don't change" bug.

    http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/0/704058.page#11231120

    Basically, I was testing ways to explore the cave on Dive Lots and observed that when that lot resets and a Mermaid is on the lot, they get sent to the shore as well. When this happens, they don't change into their Mermaid form when they go back into the water. I would assume the game thinks that Sim is still in their Mermaid form when they are sent to shore, and thus, the bug. At least, that's what happened to me.

    My werewolf's energy bar goes up EXTREMELY slow when he uses a bed. I have no idea how to fix this. I've been getting by, by making him use invigorating potions.

    Has anyone else noticed a problem with the Celebrity system? I decided to start a new game in Bridgeport with a new character that's an actress. Once I started playing I noticed that all the SIMS that are supposed to be Celebrities aren't. No one seems to have started off as a Celebrity.

    I haven't played Bridgeport for quite a while. I've had the Celebrity system turned off for the active household and just turned it back on. I thought it was only supposed to impact your household though, not the rest of town. Now that I think about it I don't remember a lot of Celebrities showing up in Island Paradise.

    I have all the expansion packs, most of the worlds, no CC, and I'm using Win7.

    Posted before in this thread so on record but built a basement in Aruro Springs, did this before Ip with no issue now. Built by lot across from army base and this happened when I returned to build.
    Start of build:

    when brought sims in to help test lot and use to work on build.

    So I moved to higher ground (remember seeing a post on this issue that has disappeared), and close to a location that I built a previous 3 basement lot prior to Ip, and when I place lot, no water. Put family in to work on lot. And....

    Have NAAS, builder's building/content unlocks. Unable to complete build for requester if the build will be under water when the client plays it. Need ideals or help. Any one else have issue.

    Thanks

    Vanilla and all but K.P. Sweet Treats latest patch some store content
    No CC/Mods
    Moonlight Falls
    Characters I created and uploaded to Exchange

    Fairy (Queen of the Fae so she has ability to bloom multiple times) blooming plants (in my case a Spotlight Mushroom) until "Harvestable" causing them reset to an empty mound without any harvestable produce and plant becoming non-harvestable. It's springtime in my game and the temp was above freezing when planted. Planted indoors in a pot. Even replanted a second one and repeated the process with the same results.

    Also fairy and witch Sim are both still under the effect of Magnificent Megaphonist (similar to Adrenaline Rush) after waking each other up with a megaphone well beyond the moodlet's cut-off point. It's permanent. Fairy Sim keeps "running" too far into things and getting stuck outside walls. Also I have seen her try to paint behind the easel with one arm stretched behind her back and do chin-up out in front of where she should be. I have to reset her often because of this.

    There's a picture of her painting on my My Studio on the Media page.

    Good to know I'm not the only one but SORRY it happened to you. Poured over the forums and several Sim web sites trying to find a solution for Aurora since this build was requested for that world. Will out a post to the requester for an alternate world to try.
    Thanks again.

    Posting a solution(partial?) to:

    - Sims cancel out interactions constantly reported by (Penelope).


    Hi, after adding houseboats to my custom world today I found out that on first load up my sim would not go to the park located in the center of the city. Her action to go just about anywhere kept cancelling out repeatedly. I discovered that subways was causing the issue. When my sim was close to a subway she would walk to the subway then cancel the remaining action or when far away from a subway she would just simply cancel the action immediately. It did not matter where the subway was located within the lot (near or far from a edge) so I went into CAW and removed all subways, even ones attached to any EA lots I had in my custom world. (example: Celebrity Lounge from Bridgeport)

    Now my sim is able to go anywhere. Hopefully this info will help someone out.

    I'm wondering if anyone has found a solution to Sims not being able to use the Subways? Other than removing them?

    I've started playing with Bridgeport after not playing there for a loooong time and am finding that children can't use the subway stations. They go to the station and attempt to go somewhere but then the action cancels itself. I've tried sending them with an adult, but the adult goes and the child is left behind. I don't remember this being a problem in previous play.

    Very annoying. :( I can send a cat or a dog across town via subway but not a child.

    Hi. I just recently purchased and downloaded the expansion pack from EA online and... I cannot play it! I am having what looks to be a fairly common issue and that is that I cannot select or move in any household. Very frustrating! I have spent many hours now trying a host of solutions that have been suggested online but nothing has helped. I really do not have the time to read every single thing on this forum at the moment, so if anyone is out there responding to these issues, please help!

    Thank you.

    To be honest I think this game is a failure and EA know it, I haven't come acrooss the flooding yet, however I don't use basements, omg it does look bad though, here's hoping and praying the patch will be out real soon.

    I have had a struggle in my game whenever I want to travel the second time or more. Last night I found out that it's only from some neighborhoods, ex. Island Paradise. Give us a patch, pretty please!!

    I am SO D... close to uninstalling Island Paradise. :cry:

    I think i might have found one solution to the check into a resort-problem :shock: If there is a rug under the "counter" where you check in, your sim just freezes and no-one comes to check you in. I cheated with buy here(tesingcheatsenabled true) and moved the rug away and then i could check in. I have also noticed that sometimes the "Counters" are placed with not enough room for the sim or the clerk to get to it so you might also have to move the "counter" itself and leave some Space around it and then it works as supposed (by the way im selfemployed or rather my sim :mrgreen: )Hope it resolves the problem for the rest :wink:

    I'm really sad what's happened. My couple of Sims used to be great scuba-divers but now something went wrong (???) and when they get close to the diving places they even don't get out from the taxi (when I force them, camera shows me underwater image but they're not there - they're just swimming above and I can't even zoom at them because when I try to do so - I see only underwater landscape!)

    Please, help, I love that scuba diving and exploring new things!
