Yep, this is what happened to me, too. I thought I was decorating early for the holiday, but I guess every day decorations count as their own holiday decor, too.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one experiencing this. I was beginning to feel bad for my pets! Lol. My sims are constantly stopping what they’re doing to pet their animals and it’s making it a challenge just to get through their daily routines, let alone the holidays! Plus, they have a toddler to take care of, too! Lol.
Just wanted to mention a glitch I experienced when my calendar changed seasons—when my game turned from summer to fall, it reverted back to summer and all of my holidays got pushed back a week. My summer and fall holidays even overlapped on the calendar. Luckily, I had made a backup save and when I played it through, the…
Thanks for the tips! I’ll be sure to look for 8GB of ram, too, lol. Just might take a little bit longer for me to get one. Thankfully, the game still runs well enough for me to play, lol.
Hahaha, okay, that’s what I thought. Thanks for all of the info, though! I’ll probably hold off for now, but will definitely be looking out for ones with those specs!
Excellent! I’ll have to see about getting an external drive. I don’t necessarily mind having a fresh start, but there are definitely a few sims I don’t want to leave behind, lol. Thanks so much for all of the info! Now I just have to hope I can get this laptop soon! Haha.
Okay, turning aging on while I used the cheat worked! Thanks again!! I actually put some of the vet supplies in my sims’ homes and got their skills up to where they can make the treats. It is much easier than running to the vet, lol. You can’t give the age up treat to elder pets, though.
Of course I’ve been away from my computer all day, lol. I did notice, though, that I have a 64 operating system, but I’ve played TS4 + many of the packs on 32 bit since I got a message a while back to change it manually. I’d say the game runs pretty smoothly on low settings—I’m not sure how it would do with higher ones.
^ How do I get the rest of my specs? There was a systems tab on my computer and based on what the OP posted, I’m not sure I was looking at the right thing with all of the info, lol.
I apologize for asking my question in your thread, but I haven’t posted on here in forever and can’t seem to figure out how to make a thread of my own, lol. Anyway, I’ve been really looking forward to Cats & Dogs, and for some random reason I decided to check my computer’s specs out of curiosity. I have 4 GB of ram, but it…
So wait - as long as the sim eats the fruit right after they're done, the gender influence still works? I'm starting over with Ambitions and REALLY want my family to have two girls on their own. I thought the gender influence was a great idea.
OMG, I hope you're right! I couldn't believe there was no country station when the Sims 3 first came out. :cry: So that would mean country could be a sim's favorite music genre too, right? :oops: :lol:
I have the exact same problem, so I'm assuming that my computer doesn't meet the requirements either and I have NO idea how to fix that. :( It's kind of ridiculous though, because everything else on my computer works nice and smoothly. :roll: I wanted my sim to be a writer as well ... I guess we're just going to have to…
What about the basement/pool icon problem? After the patch I could no longer click on the pool icon or the basements icon without my game crashing. I hope they will fix that, too! Then again - I've been hoping that they'd fix the crashes when sims watch tv or use the computer, and when the screen gets dark, too, but so far…
I haven't yet because I didn't want anything to happen to any of my custom made sims :oops:, but now that the story progression toggle is fixed I'm going to try it. :D Has anyone else played with story progression off since we got the patch?
Yeah, I've posted about this several times, but haven't found anyway to fix the problem. :( It seems like there are only a few of us with this problem, but hopefully EA will still include it in another patch. It really stinks because I wanted my one sim to be a writer and she's already a computer whiz (didn't know it…
ROFL. Poor simmies. :lol: I'd probably play with them all sooner or later - they should just make it so that aging & story progression go together. I guess I'll just have to turn aging off - that will stop it, right? :P
Mine installed fine, but I don't think it's working. :P It said that it was supposed to fix the story progression on/off toggle, but, for example - I played with the Keaton family for a couple of sim hours (in a new neighborhood, just to make sure it worked), and then I switched to Mrs. Crumplebottom for a sim day. But…
