As it turns out , it seems my comment about my sims still aging with aging off was a little premature ...... kind of . The weird thing is that my sims seem to age a day sometime between midnight and 1 am or so , but then their age will snap back a day sometime later that evening in the same day . Seems odd , very odd . But…
My Sims are aging ( they aged a day at midnight ) even though all of my age settings are off . To Darci , if you're willing to risk your sims aging a day look at their age and then check it again at midnight while your aging is set to off .

The launcher is offering me the contradictory TS3SP02 7.3.2 patch but I'm staying well clear of it . Maybe it's just an EA typo but with all the carnage that's been going on over the last few days I think I'll give it a miss for now and update my game and install Generations ( which I've already bought ) when there's some…

Then run the dxdiag program and once that's loaded then choose the Display tab on it and details of your graphics will be listed in the box marked '…
If you really must play your games on a laptop rather than a PC then buy a cooling pad to put your laptop on while you're using it . The fans in laptops are rubbish compared to those in PCs and need all the help they can get .
What type of graphics do you have ? ( you can find out by typing dxdiag in your Start Search box and running that and then clicking the display tab of it ) .
Delete the ScriptCache file in your Sims 3 folder in your Documents folder ( ' your name ' / Documents / Electronic Arts / Sims 3 / Scriptcache.package and then try to reload the saved game again and see if the quick skill gains still happen . Scriptcache is safe to be deleted and will be regenerated the following time you…
I've chanced my arm and risked updating those 2 packs manually and now the updates are showing correct for all 4 packs that I have . I'm still puzzled as to why the launcher only half updated my game though and just hope my game works ok after updating it in an odd manner .
