Yay! Another convert. FYI everybody, you have to have a handy sim upgrade the toilet to get its full creepy mesmerizing abilities going. Then sit back and watch the brief standing coma.

O-M-G! I just remembered something from browsing around yesterday... I was in this knob store. You know, they sell knobs (amazing ones I might add) , but that's beside the point. My friend had to go to the restroom, but before her this other woman ran out and says, "your bathroom's amazing. " My friend goes in there and she squeels. Seriously. I'm thinking, Gee, what is with that bathroom? So, even though I didn't need to go, friend says that I need to try it. Okaaaaay. I walk in. The toilet seat is down, but it's motioned censored, so it rises up when I enter. Ummmm... The seat was warm and cleans itself. It even lights up. So, yeah, I used a smart toilet. It was nice.
...I was celebrating christmas with family in California, and got proposed to, and yes, I said yes...
Oh now, how did I miss this happy news?! A little late but, Congratulations! And a 22year delay? By the 6th year of my own engagement/relationship the well meant jokes were already knee-deep. You & yours must be up to your shoulders by now! I did some post-stalking, in a non-creepy way(!) and found something you'd had your eyes on... Enjoy, and congrats again!

@Pixieydust Oh my, I was only joking when I said here's some stuff to crash that new PC! Glad to hear it seems to be working OK again.
eta: @JennaIsGhost Rec'd! That's so sweet looking. I have such trouble making a suitable styled home for them. And no matter what I plan for any sims, I always end up building Biggie Sized echo-mansions? I've been trying to scale down, make it cozier and more appealing like yours.

I used to have problems sizing down as well. I would make these huge homes and end up having too much room in the middle with nothing to fill it. Haha! It just takes some practice.
@pixieydust - you seem to be posting all over the place so it's tough to understand where you in fixing your files. So I am having trouble finding out what consecutive things you have done (and add the stress of taxes
You wrote:
How do I load the game from the document file? I see the saves file and see the test sim save there. Do I need to move the whole file to the desktop again? Like I did before? That first time I did that, I was able to get the game to run. But after I tried again it would not work. I am wondering if I should just delete it and start over
Use Crin's file with step by step directions to restart the game with each add, to find where the step is that reintroduces the problem. I suspect that your massive download without testing it in increments, allowed a bad download/install to happen.
Most likely store stuff you added all in one swell foop is the cause of the problem now. Unless of course, your system specs are teetering...
Hey there!! I think you are right on the massive downloading. I got it running now. I lost my old save but that is okay I was still in the tutorial I just liked how she looked. Most of my sims are not too pretty!! LOL So hopefully I can make a pretty one again!!
Thank you all for your help! I am starting to understand a bit about the workings of the game. I am going to start to get my store stuff installed a page of 64 items at a time, then run the game. I am going back to learn some stuff.
@Bekasan. thank you for the Haute Hip stuff!! There are so many items I would love to have in real life!! Thank you also for the help and support you and everyone else have given me to figure out how to get my game running!! I won't ever try to download and install 4 or 5 pages of stuff at once again!! LOL Not without running the game in between! I have learned my lesson, this desktop is just too old for that sort of fun!!
I bought the toilet when it came up in my mmyo the other day. I am going to put it in my house for sure!! LOL I always love to see that poem when it shows up in the dd!!
@60smusicluvr and @Cogitotoro Uhm our toilet here has heating and lights up, but it doesn't have motion sensors, it has a remote control though
It's usually one of the highlights of any tour of the appartment for first time visitors. Actually tomorrow I think I'll test how far away you can be when working the remote control
@LyrielSim thank you for the congratulations, now I'm curious what it could be, I'm not logged into the store yet

OMG You sound like Simsess! That, or I've been playing too long today? Hope I got that giftie right.
@60smusicluvr and @stephenhamburg, I love the real-life uber toilet stories. @stephenhamburg, I certainly hope that you're going to test how far away the remote control works while some unsuspecting friend is in there. You cannot pass up that opportunity.
@JennaIsGhost, the house is adorable - rec'd!
Quick question, does anybody know how to link to a particular post on a page? I used to know how to do it on the old site, but can't figure it out on this one. Thanks!

Hi! I am new to the store and daily deals, having just registered some of my old games and getting some free simpoints. What I am wondering is if anyone knows if/where there is a list showing all of the items/sets and how they interrelate? It seems like that would make it significantly easier to plan out how to get the maximum value per simpoint. :smile:

Welcome to the thread! I'm not sure if there is a comprehensive list out there that shows how each of the sets are connected, but I have a thread that talks all about the cheapest ways to go about getting the store content. The link is in my signature I'm always happy to answer specific questions, too!

Hi, welcome! @Ladybugleslie's thread is great, I'm glad she shared that. There's also @kellycot1's download checklist, which lists everything. I don't know that there's really a list showing connections, because that would be really complicated (some things are in quite a few sets between sets, compilations, and featured looks). But those are a good start!

@Cogitotoro first I'll test how far away I can be for the remote still to work, then I'll wait innocently.
@Nevills and @haldechick02 thank you for the Soar Away Dress and the Tufted Armchair purple wonder, Nevills, have you ever heard of Londo Mollari? @LyrielSim wow, the gift is super, can't wait to use it in game, thank you
I put out some food for the squirrels the day before the snow, a whole dish of food just for them. I noticed today they dug through the 3/4 foot of snow down to it and were popping their heads up to look around while they ate. Smart squirrels and so cute! I am slightly embarrassed to admit I actually said "squee," when I saw them.
You do have to be a bit careful about encouraging them to be near your home. Like most wildlife, avoid acclimating them. If they move in under your rafters they can chew through wiring and set your workshop, garage, or your home on fire, among other things. If you raise horses or chickens, other pets, the rascals get into the grain bins or food bags (just like rats).
We have a lot of native old oak trees around here and nearly everyone in the neighborhood has recurring problems with squirrel invasions from time to time. I like them at a distance. And I love it when they appear on the forums. :Note that our squirrel keeper sometimes has to tranq the little beastie as recently reported.
I think I fixed it. I went to refresh the launcher and it popped up that I had an update so I did that and now the launcher works right away and so does the game. I just need to know where to find my old game save . My son thinks its gone for good.. Thank you everyone for the help this is super confusing
Can you do a search for the name of the folder? Saves
File name extensions on saves are .sims3 and .backup, so when you find the Saves folder, it will have your saves with those extensions. If not on your desktop or other user folders--might be in your recycle bin?
I am happy that your game may be running stable again. I hope we can find your saves.
Would be a good idea to back up your working TS3 folder onto CD or whatever method you use.
1. Safest to do installs, even the store stuff, in increments.
2. Do NOT forget to delete cache, especially when you have changed game files, by adding stuff.
Here's a short version of a batch file, windows users can open notepad and give this file a name like CacheKiller.bat
put it next to your game shortcut, and click that before starting a game. It deletes your Cache files then closes.
You will have to edit the file to the actual cache location on your computer.
