  • I hate when Sims complain about noisy baby. I've got one Sim that has been doing a lot of that tonight. The cause of all this fuss is a toddler who is hungry, filthy and exhausted. The Sim taking care of him spends more time 🐸🐸🐸🐸 about the noisy baby than seeing to his needs. It's been 3 sim hours and he is presently…
  • It's been a bit since I've posted here. At the risk of getting a message about reviving a dead thread, I'll post this. This is an anecdotes thread and shouldn't become a dead thread. If it does, that tells me that, every time I post an anecdote, I should post it in a new thread. How ridiculous would that be (Yes, a…
  • Is there any timeline available as to when you will get Create A World working again. A lot of us Sims 3 devotees are waiting. I just replaced my computer and I want to get my Sims 3 custom world back again (it needed work, a lot actually before finishing, but is functional).
  • According to this link I can install DirectX 9 and it won't affect DirectX 12, so I did that. It didn't help. My game is still crashing on my new laptop when I use "Enabling Advance Rendering." Does it have to do with the integrated graphics not being separate?
  • I usually start with homeless Sims, sometimes a large family. They buy an empty lot and then I cheat away any remaining funds. They sleep/shower at the pool or elsewhere and eat out all the time. Because income is limited at the start, it takes a while to get the money but I wait til I can afford good beds to place on the…
  • I screwed up badly. My dogs have been collecting Tiberium for quite some time now. Because my family had limited resources (I started from broke with an empty lot), I've just been collecting them. Now that money is no longer a problem (and a bunch of my Sims are getting the wish to be worth 1,000,000 simoleons) I cleaned…
  • The only Plasma Fruit my Sim has grown so far was from a putrid seed. I was going to have them replant them and work them up to perfect, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. My 'just learning' cook made pancakes, with one of those lousy fruit and made everybody sick. Then she made waffles with another one, and made…
  • I was trying to finish the Telescope series on my third day in China, and was delivering the parts. A family member of the target went to the washroom. While I was chatting up the target (building Charisma and friends) before delivering the parts, the target headed for the bathroom. The first one was still in there,…
  • I know it's been a while, but it's more appropriate to post in this thread than to create a new one. My Sims are trying to collect Perfect Koi in China to stock in a garden pond back home. The gardening Sim has recently obtained perfect Plums (as well as Pomolos) for bait and brought all but a couple with him.…
  • My Sim is about to age up from teen to young adult. The school REALLY seems to want to give her an opportunity. First was "Outside Reading", then came "Young Politician’s Club Induction" and now "Work/School Learning Project". All of them required her to perform the task, then report back to school. MONDAY. It's Friday.…
  • I've seen both of those, and a number of others. Carl's guide was little more that an introduction and wasn't really of any use. The one at ModTheSims was better, but neither answered my questions.
  • Rather than starting a new thread, I'm adding it to this one. I've got got hidden stairs down to the basement where the Secret Society will be. Unfortunately, the hole where the stairs are hidden is showing. In other tombs I've seen, this area is covered with floor tiles until the staircase is revealed. Any idea how I can…
  • On Thursday, my Sim get the school opportunity to Study the Science Facility. Oh, wait, I'm already packed for travelling. So, he does it after he gets back. The students go to the library to do their homework before they leave (because it disappears when they travel). Once that was done, it was off to Egypt. On Friday,…
  • @paladinx333: I posted the picture on an other thread. The babysitter set the baby down in the spray while they played in the sprinkler. Another babysitter was playing with the baby when a sim came home to do some gardening. The babysitter left the baby floating in midair in the middle of the room. After planting, the sim…
  • I don't know if this fits under Humorous Anecdotes or not, but it was weird. There was one Sim standing in front of the Dog Park. I couldn't interact with her. I couldn't reset her. I couldn't even delete her. She didn't move. She was like a statue. For three days now, my kids get the message about a field trip. The field…
  • I used the period and the smirk on purpose to indicate a humorous moot question that wasn't expecting an answer, but yours gives me pause. I just answered 'No', but now I wish I had answered 'Yes" so I could give you (and now myself) the answer. If I remember (and with my memory I probably won't) when it happens again,…
  • I just got this message . . . "Jeanine Neal wants to know if your Sim's child would like to play with her child. Should they come over?" Well, my child and her child were together at her place a while ago, making friends and having pillow fights (Very fast friend building if you stop it before somebody gets ticked off).…
  • My Sim drops by the lake to catch the Green Will-O'-The-Wisp. After he caught that, and picked up some other stuff, a pink one appeared. Since his queue to pick up stuff just emptied, he pulled out his phone to watch a movie. He wouldn't put it down . . . and wouldn't put it down . . . and wouldn't put it down . . . (you…
  • I just had a similar 'odd' prom situation. Isaac just upped his gardening to 5 and started planting all those collected Uncommon Seeds. He needed a shower after finishing. The limo showed up while he was still planting and Chantel was brushing the colt. She finished, and climbed into the limo. The limo left, just as Isaac…
  • My Sim has spent days trying to get close to a wild horse in order to adopt it. She's almost up to Best Friend. I've been wondering why I haven't been able to adopt yet. I just did some research and found that she needs Riding Skill up to Level 8. I thought she and the horse could learn together. I guess not. When I…
  • It's prom night. Of course that's the day all these extras happen. The child gets their 'Badging' ceremony, and does that right after school. One of the teens was at an after school club and was late getting the the badging ceremony. Her 'After School Rewards Ceremony' was triggered as soon as she finished. I sent her and…
  • I hate how long it takes for some things to stop doing something. My two retired Sims were exploring a custom tomb I placed in my home-world. The grand-kids were tired and went to be early last night. Already fed by dawn, I sent them off to the library (right beside the school) to read various books. One Sim pulled out his…
  • Nursery Disaster I have Six(6) kids in the nursery. One is ready to age up (walking, talking, potty trained, pegbox maxed). I have a mummy that works like crazy looking after the lot (I had to summon the Mummy before getting the kids. My two teens are growing up too. The first just aged up to young-adulthood. The second is…
  • How many out of the way things have your found. Hopefully, I can collect a bunch and do up a poll.
  • The adventure board was full of "Tomb Tourist Brochure" photos opportunities. These are simple since I know they are coming up and take pictures beforehand. The only real pain about them is the time it takes running between Base Camp and The Market to contact the Special Merchant. Make friends with them, then invite them…
  • Meanwhile, another Sim was on a bug hunt. There were no Assassin Beetles on the first day of the trip. Today there were five(5). She missed all of them. The adventure board is filled with "Fish of the Scholar" (all BUT Doitsu which is all the new angler has so far. He spent most of yesterday reading the fishing books) as…
  • My Sim was fishing down by the river in China for Doitsu Koi. He'd just fished them out. Another sim had picked up food for everybody. He had Egg Rolls in his inventory, and just got the wish to eat Egg Rolls. Too bad he didn't have an open slot to put it. He did however, have a wish to visit the Forbidden City that could…
  • I installed The Mysterious Simshield Mansion into my homeworld for a little local adventuring. This tomb requires the ability to Zenoport. I did so. It takes 3 hours. Then I found out I couldn't do the next part alone, so the Sim's wife joined him. Another 3 hours. He was tired so he slept through it in a sleeping bag.…
  • The Criminal Rabbit Hole Door is the only one that will actually be inside a tomb. As soon as the stairs up are revealed, the career will be available to everyone. The door will be just past the stairs. Further on will be a gambling den and other amenities. The School Rabbit Hole Door(s) will be on the outside. The tomb…
  • My sim with Level 5 Athletic and Level 3 Martial Arts who is trying to get cursed, just beat up both Mummys in the Rashid Basement (Trapped At Home). He hasn't been practising the Martial Arts until after he finishes this Adventure (Get Scorched, Soaked & Cursed). The Red and Blue Priests beat him into unconsciousness, but…
