Or am I maybe too fixated on the roofs not going into the rooms? Sometimes I can place items in the areas where they do go through, sometimes I can't, which annoys me... And I also wonder if the Sims see it :LOL: I do mostly play with walls down/only the back wall visible, so I probably wouldn't see it for most part, but…

Hi guys! First of all, sorry that it took me some time to respond - somehow I didn't get the notification emails and real life took over enough for me to forget about this. And I really do appreciate all of your input :) I have come across links to Mike Inside's pages before, but it seems that they are all gone now as far…

@igazor The instability that I was talking about was not related to Sims 3 on Boot Camp specifically, but to Boot Camp itself. At my old job we had a few Macs(both MacBook Pro's and iMacs) with Boot Camp partitions that were used with a specific 3D modelling program that was not available for Macs. Most of them experienced…
-
@igazor You can set the partition to be dynamic, so for example you can initially allocate 64Gb to the VM and then if Parallels notices that you are only actually using 20Gb out of that it will offer you to shrink it down(and you can do it on your own whenever of course ;) ). And if you suddenly need more space then you…
-
While I do understand what you are saying and do agree that Boot Camp is a better option long term, I don't agree with the statement that Parallels is not good for Sims 3(I won't recommend any other VMware though since none of them would work well enough with it). I think it has to do a lot with how you play a game - if…
-
That is of course true, but it is certainly much easier to drag two files into the trash(one for the VM itself and one for Parallels if you no longer need it) than to wipe the Boot Camp partition :) Plus with Boot Camp you have to assign it a good amount of disk space straightaway to ensure that you don't run out in the…

If you're going to copy the graphic.sgr file from your Aspyr version of Sims 2(so the one that was made for Mac) they aren't going to help with your Graphic's card being recognised by Windows ran in Parallels... At least I highly doubt that. What Parallels does is replace the name of your video card(for example for me it…
-
Haha I agree! When @aricarai posted the solution to the mystery my mind was completely blown, I honestly thought that everyone who saw this thread would think I am being stupid and just don't understand what I am being told about CFE and friezes :D At least now that people can see the video I feel less like a crazy lady ;)
-
I have the same MacBook but with 8Gb of RAM and have it updated to Sierra(though that doesn't matter in my case). Either way, I run my Sims in Parallels and I had experienced the same issue as you for a while, even though it worked perfectly before with most of the EP's installed. Now, I understand that we are running our…

Yeah, I got it done now, I basically rebuilt her garage on my lot, just made it bigger & made the second floor accessible so I have extra work space there :) I used a pattern that has vertical wooden planks and horizontal bottom&top planks so the bottom planks make diagonal lines that look like they were especially made to…
-
I am quite surprised to hear that. I play Sims 3 on my MacBook pro(late 2013 13" model with 8gb of RAM, 2,4Ghz i5 and a 1536Mb Intel Iris Video card), I run it in Parallels(!) that runs Windows 7(so that adds some stress on the computer) and I am still quite happy with the performance. I have all EP's up to Seasons, no…
-
The YouTuber's name was SimmerLifeEmily. I just found a copy of that video on another website, it didn't show up in my google search before, but now you can actually watch it and hopefully understand why I was so confused about this :)…
-
I don't think so since it's not that just 1 video got removed, but her whole channel, which also included videos about other games and was fairly popular. I know that she made a new channel and is reuploading some of the videos for other games there, so I think that the reason it isn't there is because she was receiving a…
-
That... That might actually be the explanation. I could see that working actually, maybe with some parts of the video still omitted so that it wouldn't give it away. I'd say it is a very bizarre way of doing it though... but could indeed be a thing I guess. I honestly would've never thought that anyone would do it like that
-
@TreyNutz You couldn't see the tool bar at all which was part of the problem haha :) @cwaddell I have downloaded the house that she built in that video(when it was still available) and I know that if I would really want to I could indeed replicate it using placefriezes and the CFE cheat, but the issue is how it was shown…
-
A: When Sims 2 just came out, the first Sims I have created in that game were Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, who in my story were husband and wife :) For a while every new game I started were those two(I would tweak them over time but the general look stayed the same, I still remember Emma having that base game shoulder…
-
I was trying to make a garage have some foundation inside & porch...Imagine that in order to get into the garage the sim goes up the stairs first(so he's on the porch) and then when he enters the garage he's on a raised platform - if he wants to go to the car he has to go down the stairs and on the platform there's a…
-
Thank you all for your replies guys, it is really appreciated! It's a shame that the channel is no longer available, I believe that she took it down due to receiving a lot of negativity from the YouTube sims community and the sims taking over her life... At least she had a video about that there, but obviously I don't know…

When you wish that one day making money would be as easy as painting some crappy picture and throwing it up into the air... And that your painting would magically drastically improve after you've painter like 10 big pictures Or When you are on a brink of crying angry tears when your male warlock Sim tries to cast a love…
-
@igazor @TreyNutz thank you so much for your help guys! I would try following @TreyNutz 's tutorial first and if that fails I will try using Nraas Traveler, but I do have a few questions about that... @igazor I already have ErrorTrap, but not Overwatch, now looking at the inner works of the latter it definitely looks like…

A: CASt, I am a bit OCD and very picky about colours, I have to be able to pick that perfect shade I want, lack of CASt in Sims 4 is one of the major reasons I haven't bought it yet Q: Have you ever gotten angry at your sims(not the game itself, but the actual sims) and why? @JoAnne65 those screenshots are awesome, I…
-
Thanks! Reading the thread now it seems like they are basically only talking about TS2(can't see any replies that specifically state that it helped for TS3), but I am curious about this now, might try it at a later point... after I figure out all the other questions I have and be less frustrated with the game :smiley:
-
I have to join everyone in saying that it is a very hard question to answer. I currently play Sims 3 and I love the color wheel tool(I am kinda OCD and having 25 different shades of "light wood" is driving me nuts in Sims 2), the open world, higher customisation for the sims themselves and certain game mechanics, namely…
-
A: I pretty much always create my own sims for my sims to marry haha :) The only time that I had my sim marry actual townies & service NPCs was when I had a "Black Widow" sim who went through husbands at a rate of about 1 in every 3 days, so creating new husbands for her was simply unsustainable :D Q: If you could take…
-
When I was playing one of my previous games, I had the photos and paintings wiped when I moved the sims to another town using the phone, but it only applied to things that were in the Sims inventory, the things in their Family Inventory were ok. I am now playing another family and want to move them to another town and keep…
-
I had it happen to me recently when I threw my Sims' wedding on a public lot. Turns out the lot had some sort of an issue so the guests couldn't travel there, at least I assume so as my Sims were unable to travel there either... Though there were some random sims standing there at the entrance(I made the party exclusive so…
-
I mean the part about renaming CC to remove spaces and dashes in order to improve game performance :) That was the part that really weirded me out. I think there was something like a mod conflict detector for Sims 3, I downloaded one at some point but cannot for the life of me remember the name :(
-
Is this actually true? I have never heard of this before, is there some sort of a thread or website you can link me to or is this some sort of common knowledge that I am missing?
-
I still play Sims 3 and sometimes Sims 2 :P When Sims 4 was first announced I was really excited about the look that the characters have and the amount of customisation that was there for the sims themselves, the CAS demo was fun to play with(that's how I got my avatar pic haha), but I've never actually played Sims 4... I…
-
I've never had problems with TSR itself, most of the content I have downloaded from there works fine. The only problem I have is with hair from a creator called LeahLillith - her hair always looks amazing in CAS, but in live mode it gets really messed up, the textures are just wrong. Never had it happen to any other hair,…
