First up, there is a known issue that adventures are not resetting correctly, causing problems like those described here, as well as causing replayability issues with other Sims in the same household not being able to do the same adventures. It is hoped that EA are addressing these issues. :roll: As for the opals (or any…

I regret to inform you that your Sims have passed away. If you have exited town-editing mode and saved your game, they are gone (unless you restore your backup - there are threads elsewhere about that). In future, if you evict/move-out Sims to your clipboard and are not going to re-house them immediately, it is advisable…

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'resizing a lot', but if I'm correct about the implication, then no, you can't. For example, a 30x20 lot is always going to be a 30x20 lot, no matter what you do. If you need more space on a lot, you would have to save your lot to the bin and 'transplant' it to a larger lot. If you…

Yes, it is. I actually did just that with my pre-WA legacy. I got bored one day and saved a copy of my legacy, sent the YA son - who was married, and he and his wife (employed in Law Enforcement, no less) still lived with his mother and sister - out on a romance-fest, and watched the fireworks. As I recall, he essentially…

Here's one I did - make a nutty-looking Sim with the following traits: Evil - Excitable - Mean-Spirited - Insane (I'll leave the final trait up to you.) Trust me, the interactions he/she will have with other Sims are totally hilarious. :D
-
I'm hoping I understand what you are after here, so here goes. If required (ie: you don't have a family made already): 1. Press F5 and select 'Edit Town'; 2. Use the 'Create Sims' button to enter CAS and create your family as normal; At this point, your new household should be available in your Sim-bin. Now, do the…

No, there is currently no cheat within the game to allow you to alter a Sim after its creation.
-
This is the part that stuck out like a sore thumb for me. What operating system are you running? If your answer is 'Windblows', the problem may simply be that you are running with a user account that does not have Administrator Rights - if your system cannot change file attributes for certain files, then you do not have…

This is correct, and does not require IndieStone (in fact, to my knowledge, IS has been defunct and discontinued for some time now). It works because there is currently a bug (or perhaps a debugging 'feature' deliberately implemented by EA) that resets the Sim's age when you enter the 'dresser' or 'mirror' CAS modes while…

Have you used the CFE cheat to create the room in question? I have a home that used the CFE cheat to create a split-level floor plan; because the mid-level entryway connecting the two main floors is not a regular room with a normal floor-to-ceiling height, I get the 'Unfinished Room' moodlet even though the room is…

Note that I actually posted the 'recipe' - gleaned after some 4 hours solid research - just 2 posts above your own post. Which is exactly what my 4 hours of research revealed. Not to nit-pick, but when people ask for information in an existing thread such as this one, they should make sure they read the thread properly,…

From what I've seen so far, it appears that a minor change was made to the way NPC's are handled in the latest (WA-enabled) patch (or perhaps it's always been this way, and I've just never cottoned on before). NPC's are in fact all members of a global 'NPC household', meaning that there is a virtual household with such…

You need your Sim to reach level 5 of the Martial Arts skill, after which you will be able to click on your Sim at any time and have the option to 'Meditate'.
-
This is definitely my best effort, IMHO. Took me hours to get her face right. Meet Max: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=1629147

*shakes head, rofl* I play and mod WoW on a regular basis. Trust me, EA and Blizzard are struck from the same mold. In fact, you can check out Blizzard's WoW forums and see for yourself - WoW almost makes TS3 look bug-free by comparison. Mind you, TS3's forums are also generally better behaved than WoW, so I definately…

If only it were that simple. *sigh* I'm a hobbyist programmer, and trust me that going through literally thousands of lines of algebraic gibberish (which is to the layman, pretty-much what programming code is) is neither entirely fun, easy or quick. Especially with something as big (and with as many people working on it)…

While it is not possible to actually live in Egypt as such, it is possible to extend the time you stay to the point where your can effectively be living there. My Sim spends 15 days in China (and owns a custom-built home there - yes, you can do that at Visa level 3), goes home for 2 days, then returns to China for another…

As I stated in another post, there is usually not a lot of difference between ATI and nVidia cards, unless (like me) your motherboard is specifically built to take a particular brand. If your current card is a simple PCI-Express or AGP, a compatible card from either manufacturer will do, as long as your power supply has…
-
*self-censored* I like helping people too much...I think I'll stay un-banned. *lol*
-
The brand of card is probably not a factor, rather the speed at which it is capable of running. ATI and nVidia are pretty-much the same performance-wise across the range, and many people choose a card that runs well with thier given motherboard (in some cases, it makes a difference - my MB is built specifically to run…

/sign Actually, they need to go further and create a far more comprehensive relationship builder, allowing the ability to create entire family-tree structures (step-relations, half-relations, cousins, etc.). It is not uncommon for large extended families to live in one household, and the option to create such a family unit…
-
You need to reach level 5 of Martial Arts. Then, when you click on your Sim, you will get the option to meditate.
-
Ok...*cheeky grin*...so how did this happen exactly? My current Sim would not mind permanently living in China... :D
-
My point exactly. A friend of mine had a similar issue with World of Warcraft - his graphics card fan was starting to make a lot of noise, and it turned out that Blizzard has done the same thing and neglected to top-limit FPS, causing his GPU to run super-hot and his fan to run harder than it should have to compensate,…

No, a Xylophone is not a Guitar. However, it is a musical instrument (percussion as opposed to string) and therefore gives the child a head-start in Guitar due to the increased ability to recognise musical notation. At least, that's my assumption. :D
-
Actually, a lot of the problem with things like this is that today's programmers have it too easy. Back in the days of real programming, we had to design and code our graphics engines in software, from scratch, and the aim was to try to get software to match the performance of hardware through clever, performance-based,…

While I still need to do a lot more testing, I have come to the following conclusions regarding the creation of skulls: * A Skull is guaranteed if you place 5 or more gems of different cuts; for example, one each of Emerald, Heart, Marquis, Plumbbob and Oval cuts (along with 3 of any cut) will produce a Skull. * The Skull…
-
I know for a fact that Tiberium can be found randomly in China (not been to the other countries as yet - I almost live in China *lol*), and can also drop randomly when breaking Space Rocks on the Board Breaker. As for the skulls, I am about to try my metal-based theories on gems to see if the same kind of formulae apply. I…
-
*lol* Well, I certainly don't claim to be an expert, but the vote of confidence is appreciated. I've actually only researched metals at this point, and even then, I think I've only really scratched the surface, concentrating on the high-value metals. If people are interested and willing to wait, I could move my research…
Howdy, Stranger!
