Rename your last Save/Save As file with .backup on the end. You should always have at least TWO saves files of the towns you're playing in your Saves folder- The most recent being the current game and the previous one before that should be the backup save. If it's not, rename it with .backup on the end. I think you only…
I'm just writing back to say ZeekSlider's suggestions to use the gumball machine with evil and technophobe traits worked! :thumbup: You can disregard my previous post, my gumball isn't broken yay! However, the rebellious trait as Zeek suggested did not achieve the moodlet 'Fight the Power'. Just out of curiosity, does…
I've had the Classic Gumball Machine for nearly 2 years now, since I put back my CC into the game after a bad crash a few months ago they only option to all sim ages since is 'Get a Gumball'. Now, I think his is more likely to do with me stupidly deleting the ccmerged file in my DCBackup folder. But I'd like to get the…
Playing large households is a problem for me, it lags much more obviously. I would recommend you stick to a household of no more than 2 sims and 2 pets, anyone more than that, you will get lag issues. The sims application seems to recognise my game has been lagging too long so it will eventually 'crash'. Recognise what…
I think that's the same bug that causes sims going AWOL upon arrival with World Adventures. I had to delete and re-spawn the household I was currently playing then because apparently the household had become corrupt...Try splitting up and merging the household you are playing from the save sim bin in Edit Town mode you are…
Thank you very much, paintings are aligned properly now! Just one more thing- I've been trying to delete some of my patterns I made with the game's own Create-A-Style and I've come back a to find they haven't been deleted as I thought 0_0 Is this because of a file I may have mistakingly deleted in the Sims 3 folders?…
I want a world for Safari Living Set! Why have a set with hippos on the side of the sofa and a giraffe floor sculpture if you're not going to have the real thing? Trying to build a nature park here :thumbup:
Hello, my two problems are: 1. White edge on one side of painting(s) made with the easel...Paintings look incomplete or mis-aligned! 2. 'Deleted' custom Patterns and custom re-colours of clothing/hair/makeup etc in Create-A-Style & Create-A-Sim tool appears again.
Does it say anything in this thread about a white empty part of paintings made with the artist easel? The paintings on the canvas are always positioned too far to the left or top even with the frame on...>_< I have had this problem for quite some time and I have no idea where to go into my folders to sort this out myself.
AS MASSIVE THANK YOU I would like to nominate lionesskitty09 because she told me on my wall today she nominated me and that's my first time in the sims community anyone's ever been so kind to do so :mrgreen: lionesskitty09 http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=lionesskitty09 BluebellFlora because she has helped…
Ha ha you checked out my profile! I'm still thinking about purchasing it... I actually went to my costume shop to see if they could order in her california gurls outfit for halloween it apparently isn't available in the UK so I have to make it myself lol how hard is it to stick some candy canes on> :roll: Anyway I'm…
If you've got the correct disc in already just keep 'relaunch finder' before launching game until you install the next expansion pack. I had your issue until I installed Island Paradise, my computer could not read University Life after a few months of playing for some reason :/
So sorry Siabhra I forgot about this thread! :shock: Anyway, I I did eventually find a Mac solution for to get my store content back in my game- All I had to do was delete the sims 3 preferences folder and it re-spawned when you play the game again (But beware this was done on my Mac, I don't know where your preferences…
I apologise, as a Mac player there is nothing I can advise you to do apart from saving your custom sims to the Sim Bin in CAS as soon as possible. :oops: You can always go back into CAS and continue where you left off by selecting your custom sim from the selection of Pre-made sims :!: I understand what you are going…
Hi again Bluebell. I've typed 'purge' many times into terminal and it says something like 'command not found'. I'm MacBook OS X version 10.6.8 with snow leopard.
THEN THEN DELETE THE SIMS 3 PREFERENCES FOLDER ^ (IT SHOULD REGENRATE AGAIN). COPY THE FOLDER TO A USB STICK OR ELSEWHERE ON YOUR COMPUTER JUST IN CASE. I did this last year and got all my store content back. Hope this helps! :)
It's common for me to get freezing now, it means you've reached the 2GB or 4GB limit of gameplay. The answer out there to reduce how often your game freezes is: Get more RAM, type in 'purge' in Terminal, delete cache or play the game in Windows mode through Bootcamp. Oh yeah and don't play a long time. Pause game, close…
