Thank you very much for your reply. Currently using a new CAW world I created but the crashes also occur on Starlight Shores and Moonlight Falls. Since I last posted, I took a look at my current save which was 3.6gig. A little large I must say. I trimmed that right back (after googling what I can remove) to 71mb and the…
Cheers for the reply. I ended up re-purchasing Generations. The Sims 3 launcher used to launch all EP's and SP's regardless of whether it was registered or not. Knowing this a while back I may have created 2X other accounts and used a the above keycodes so my daughters could access the exchange for uploads and downloads.…
I haven't played the sims for sometime now. I purchased Sims 4 for my daughters I finally decided to give it a whirl myself. Sims 4 really enthused me........ to play Sims 3 again :smiley:
I pre-ordered Sims 4 through EB games. After reading info on the lack of content and a backwards step to loading screens I opted to leave Sims 4 at EB Games. From experience of Sims 1 - 3 base games, they all ran smoothly until the expansions take their toll on the PC. Sims 3 base game ran smoothly on my pentium 4 with…
Haven't tried placing a diving lot as yet but have had a huge success with the Kraken on my WIP CAW world. It seems that the only pre-req for the Kraken showing in game is that the water is sufficiently deep (in my case 44 vert) and the boat needs to be stationary when using release the kraken (or a random kraken attack).…
I strongly suggest downloading (and maybe printing) the tutorial PDFs from the CAW download page (on the bottom of the linked page). They are extremely informative. http://www.thesims3.com/game/tools/world
Thank you very much for your replies, greatly appreciated :D Edit..... back on the PC (frustrating using the iPad on forums lol) Thank you very much for that info RRArtie, that's what I was looking for :D I used and air conditioner object in CAW to gauge the depth co-ords within CAW and I may have gone too deep. Bottom of…
Are you talking about adding venues while in Caw EIG or adding venues/lots etc while actually playing the Sims? If it's the latter simply add your lots etc then save the game (remembering not to delete it!) and then hit save as and after creating a copy by using the "save as", use this to play your current sim families etc…
I prefer the default pre-mades as is (heterosexual sims propagate :wink: ). Basically (as prev mentioned) if you want them make them :wink: The game itself does tend to add a few same sex couples itself though I'm not sure if that's due to some of the Twallan mods I use.
In the same vein as AmaraRena's post, you make no reference as to what contact you have attempted with EA. Recently I contacted them concerning a Spore issue (game not in my Origin library due to it's age) and the issue was rectified with the live "chat" function.
Yes I did place the ITF glass floors as a ceiling for the shopping mall. Cheers for the link and info :thumbup: I'll stick with placing all lots from the bin in future in EIG and just do all my building while in game. No more MOO cheats either even though I only use for decorations ie rocks and pictures etc.
Cheers for the reply :D Unfortunately I had to "kill" the EIG from processes in the task manager. It was so frustrating as I was stuck between build/buy and Edit town and could see all the work I had done and side scroll around town (as it was partially in edit town mode) but couldn't save or select anything. I usually…
There's a couple of things you can do (if I'm guessing the issue correctly). You could create a series of mountains/hills around part of the world and also have part of your world coastal. With the mountain/hill backdrop you could use the camera paint that stops players being able to see whats over the hill and therefore…
A larger file means a larger file ie, one MUCH larger than the one highlighted in blue which is only 2kb. All you need to do is whats shown below and make sure you choose the largest file with the time/date that you tried to install your world when the problem first occurred. Then simply edit the name and the file type as…
I guess a simpler way of explaining would be to just find the largest file in DCBackup (must also be the same time & date when you "installed" the world), change it's extension to .world and change the file name to whatever you want (ie MyTown.world and drop it in the folder as above. This is all I did, nothing more…
So far so good. CAW & EIG seem to be working well for me though I noticed when exiting EIG, it takes a lot longer for the world to refresh/reload in CAW. Only problem was getting the world exported and working. I installed my exported world but it didn't show up. The below copy and paste however fixed this issue :D Thumbs…
After exporting a world to test/play into a .sims3pack file, you can make changes using S3PE. The process consists of making a blank world and using S3PE to rip the guts(files/objects/geography) out of the sims3pack and place them on the blank world accessible with CAW.
:lol: Love that comment and can really relate to it :D I'm just cruising the forums atm to see if CAW is in a better state of repair before I get back into it again. Seems to be less reports of problems I guess, but then again, a lot of people may just be playing Seasons instead of creating atm. The phrase "is it safe"…
