  • 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 . If it stays the same then you're ok obviously but if it moves on then youve got the…
  • Has anyone else still got the issue with ' aging off ' being broken in spite of the most recent patch ?
  • I didnt really play after the last patch because of the problems it caused so I can't vouch for the issues with the aging feature , but Ive played a little tonight after installing the latest patch and the ability to have aging off seems broken because both the sims in my family aged a day at midnight even though all aging…
  • 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…
  • I'm not going anywhere near this patch because even the name of it doesn't tally . Pack 7 ( ie 7.whatever ) is Outdoor Living Stuff whereas TS3SP02 is Fast Lane Stuff . So what the hell is going on there ?
  • If you're using Vista or Windows 7 then click your Start button and in the search box at the bottom type dxdiag and enter it and it should find the dxdiag program for you . 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…
  • Ok , cheers .
  • GAME / BIN / TS3.exe . Is that correct ?
  • If the manual patch is installed what is this mythical Sims 3 app we're supposed to point to ? Is it the base game executable or what ?
  • :) After a short test game things seem to be running fine so far anyway .
  • 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 .
