I'm a US Navy veteran, IT geek, retired rollergirl and Mama, all wrapped up in one hot-headed package. I am creative and love making fun neighborhoods with my Sims. My husband and I are working on an alien planet Sim-colony where everyone lives in domes and travels between them via subways. I am also working on 'Androsims' as a pet project. Half Sim, half simbot android like sims.

I think there is a big problem with the Origin client. I too pre-ordered from EA and when I went to install (after getting my email that it's ready to download) the EP shows up on the 'My games' tab but is grayed out. When I bring it up to view, it states it's unavailable until June 27th, which I think coincides with the…

Well with Supernatural, you can have one of your evil sims be the start of the zombie apocalypse by going around to 'infect' all your town's sims with the zombie elixir you'll be able to create ingame. This method would take awhile but definitely doable. However, if you want a 'mass outbreak' of zombiefied sims, you'll…

Your idea is a good one, unfortunately I have found in my extreme world testing that penning up sims usually results in the game lagging, freezing or altogether crashing. If you meant restricting the sims from going outside of their regular houses by removing the doors, etc, or hindering their movement limited to subways,…

Yes, I'm very excited for this new EP mainly because of ZOMBIES! I love love love the apocalyptic theme (the size of my mods folder of apocalypse junk proves that!)... But fortunately for me I have a new game to play (with ZOMBIES!) to keep my mind occupied and because I started this new Twinbrook project, I've got plenty…
-
PS, I suspect maybe EA blocks the upload because I have custom content (remember those grungy tipped over furniture items I mentioned?) I also have things like barrels, boxes and papers stacked up, other 'decor' items that make it look junky. I get these custom items mostly from Mod The Sims site, where you can get the…

Yay thanks for your links! I just tried to upload my destroyed salon lot, but once again, I am for some unknown reason unable to get my stuff to show up on the exchange anymore. I tried when pets came out (I made a dog kennel) and it would upload just fine with the green indicating it had uploaded, no errors. But it just…

Sure, the more custom built things you add to a neighborhood, the bigger the save file will be - but then again that file size grows rapidly as you play through families and additional content / expansion packs too. I noticed the first thing my new Twinbrook did was load all the missing lot types from the later expansions…
-
I absolutely LOVE your rabbithole replacement buildings - good job! I'm trying to re-do the bistro, but the roof is proving tricky. Would you mind sharing your re-created versions on the exchange when you're done? I'd love to add them to my Twinbrook zombified town!
-
That sounds like a fun way to 'destroy' a town while having the zombie apocalypse slowly grow as well! I was going to do it that way but I'm so excited for the expansion I figured I better do something with my 'builder' urges for the next two months of waiting. I'll go ahead and destroy the town of Twinbrook (minus…

Looks like another simmer has already completed a 'zombified' town center for Twinbrook - how exciting! Here it is on the exchange: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=5931630 Thanks BGateGWayB for getting the ball rolling for my 'zombified' Triwnbrook! Hoping to have Twinbrook all converted and ready by the…
-
Yes exactly why I chose Twinbrook! Also, it has a lot of barren land area surrounding it, with the lake / river / hills and especially the foggy swamps! Ambitions introduced 'eccentric' abilities so there's a lot of odd / crazy sims in Twinbrook too, which really fits a perfect zombification crisis to happen considering…
-
So glad to hear others are as excited by the zombies in the new expansion as I am. I'm not nearly as excited about the other supernatural types, but the ability to unleash a zombie apocalypse on one of the EA pre-made towns is just too much fun to resist!! I've already started 'converting' Twinbrook (which I feel has the…
-
Bumping this thread because this fix WORKS for me. I've lost a couple of longtime saves due to this problem. I recently started using Twallan's saver mod (which prompts you to save every 30 min with a differently numbered save name) to help reduce this problem but prior to that I still had one very precious legacy that I…
-
Wow that's a great tip, I hadn't even thought of the leftovers of a full plate meal (for more than one) haha! The rules say you can't make more than a single peanut butter sandwich or quick meal and no stoves, so I guess I hadn't really considered anything else. I was just going to try and get married to a cook to get…

how many 64x64 lots do you need? Ice Station has 2 pre-mades, another couple you could clear (bulldoze) that are commercial and turn to residential if you wanted. Ice Station is also a very large map, so if you don't have to have your lot right on the edge of a road, there's plenty of room to add a lot more 64x64 lots out…
-
Rflong7 has a couple of snowy worlds that might work! Her Christmas themed world is very charming. If you can at least use the ingame world editor, you could add some horse farms. Ice Station is completely barren... snow covered and bleak. She created it for an apocalypse challenge, but you could certainly 'spruce it up'…
-
Hi Rflong! I've posted on your comments but thought it was worthwhile to resurrect this thread and keep the ball rolling for those of us 'weird' simmers who loved to put our sims through bizarre situations! I have to tell you, this Ice Station world is the first time I've really wanted to finally blog/publish my attempts…

I really did not think the STORE ... you know, the place EA is making tons of money off of specialty content for the game, would actually go un-fixed for so long. People are trying to spend MONEY to use your stuff EA, how can you keep letting this go? I am one of the ones complaining about the Exchange not working. I knew…
-
sadly I don't think a majority of the people out there are even aware of what's causing the problem and when they can't 'use' the spellbook, fountain of youth' or their pets aren't skilling up... they don't even realize they have a legit bug on EA's part. Many frustrated players uninstalling and reinstalling their ENTIRE…
-
I keep bumping your posts since I'm fed up with the problem too. No one has said a thing about it. Most of my favorite sim builders are not putting out any new content since pets so I wonder if they're having upload issues too? For every one person who complains on the forum, I imagine there's at least 100 others out there…
-
I'm not sure how amiable you are to the idea of installing and using game mods, but twallan (NRaas Industries) makes a really great set of mods that fix and address many issues including this one. Without Master controller, overwatch and a few others, I cannot play the game long at all before the issues build up and start…
-
Yes, this was a problem for me as well. Fortunately for me I already use all of twallan's mods, and so this was fixed when he updated overwatch and his other great mods and I could put the spellbook back in there after that. Sadly, for those players who do not use mods or don't want to download a third party fix, this…
-
At least you are able to upload anything at all now - though I agree its not fixed if the main thing you do (building) can't be shared. I've tried sims, pets, videos, screenshots and lots... nothing goes live on the exchange even though my launcher says its successfully uploaded. Nothing. I have given up trying. Sadly, by…
-
Someone mentioned repeatedly uploading multiple copies to try again if one version failed. I have done that! MANY times. I've also tried some other things like a sim/pet and a video - those never showed up either despite saying upload was successful. I get zero message or error on this. I get 'successful' but there's…
-
I've been trying repeatedly, for almost a week to upload one very simple 'flipped' lot that is from the original Appaloosa Plains town from Pets expansion. This lot was built by EA, I simply added a second floor, re-colored the outside siding, furnished it and built a dog kennel out back... making it more pet/family…
-
This is STILL a problem for me. EA - you need to do a search of newly uploaded lots on Exchange to realize how puny the numbers are. I did a search of 'farm house' 'pets' 'ranch' 'horse stable' and 'appaloosa plains' to get an idea of how many people are successfully uploading. The numbers are very small considering how…
-
still unable to upload after numerous tries over the past 4 days. All is updated, patched and working fine on my end. Sims 3 launcer states the lot successfully uploaded but nothing shows on exchange.
-
This is still happening... to a lot of people. Please address this. Uploads appear to go fine, icon states 'uploaded' from launcher but nothing appears in studio or exchange. Repeatedly tried, repeatedly 'successful' - no errors. no upload showing. :(
-
No uploads working at all since Pets expansion...
Howdy, Stranger!
