I am so sorry, I meant to come back and comment on this, I fixed it. What ended up being the problem is a mismatch with the codes in Origin (I have multiple versions of a few games due to the "packs" that were released at one time). I was able to re-install JUST the game I was having an issue with from the CD and then the…
I don't think I'll get very far, but I have been working on a custom town to play in. I LOVE that you could add additional neighborhoods in 2 for diverse areas in the same game. I miss some of the building freedom and CASt of 3 when I play 2, but I think I like the overall gameplay better. Also, LOTS of great, stable mods…
Loved this game. Sad to see it go. If you aren't adverse to mods/CC, I BELIEVE someone converted most of the objects to either two or three. Obviously it isn't all functional the same (which is a shame, I loved a lot of the mechanics in TSM), but the look is there.
I re-installed the base game and world adventures, just to see if I could instead of re-installing everything, and I was able to do so. The launcher is now accepting store content files (and it appears to be there, in game). Also, oddly enough (and I don't know why this would be the case) it is not forcing me to start the…
I know this is a little old, but I am having a similar issue and I am going to try this. I actually have two versions of the base game, and I am now wondering if I installed the wrong one (with the wrong code) and if this is what is causing the issue. In any case, thank you so very much for the detailed information.
Bugs, lack of customization for overall building, claustrophobic and a lack of the sandbox feel I have grown used to in the Sims Series. Haven't given up yet, but not feeling optimistic either.
I am also having this issue and I'm pretty sure it's not CC related (Happened before I started DL any CC or gallery content). All my sims 2nd picture (individual pics?) look like the very first sim I created in Sims 4. I haven't tried clearing the cache, since I will be reinstalling soon anyway.
This is personally how I feel, almost word for word. The problems with the game are with the core and while I am HOPEFUL this will see development, I don't see how much they can deviate. Just adding new clothes, shallow locations and aspirations won't cut it. To put into perspective, I am NOT a custom content person. I…
Ditto. It's the biggest game killer for me right now as I am primarily a builder (along with things like lot restrictions and lack of terrain editing).
I think other than the overall sandbox aspect of gameplay, that's one of the cool things about the franchise: The recognizable characters. And if you don't like them, you can always zap them out, which is cool too. I didn't know they used any MySims characters, that's neat.
Quite frankly, I'm pessimistic about 4 given the track record of previous games, but I'm willing to admit it really COULD go either way. I think Outdoor Retreat seems okay, but it doesn't address any of my current wants/needs and it will probably take the first real expansion for me to decide if it's going a way I want to…
Between a credit/bonus Origin thing I had and a sale that was going on around Thanksgiving, I picked it up for around $20. It's...ehhh. I messed with it a bit and then became really un-interested. I haven't written it off completely just yet, I think some of the problems insofar as I personally see them have a chance of…
That will be a little frustrating, I hope things get ironed out. I would hate to have to senselessly post just to get my count up to be able to post links and such for projects and help...
Reading this thread was rough. Writing this was harder. Thank you, SimGuruCopeland. You guys have done such an amazing job of trying to bring us content we wanted. While I love Sims 2 (That I haven't touched in forever and now have received through Origin) and Sims 3 for different reasons, part of my affection for 3 is in…
At one point, someone told me it was possible to back up the installation files for Digital Download As this was the only way for me to get Outdoor Stuff and (I think) Fast Lane stuff for less than $70 dollars, I hope this is the base. But with that being said, unless they go completely bankrupt, I don't think the Origin…
It redeemed but is not downloading. Hopefully it will eventually. And "I_am_bean" thanks! I actually HADN'T heard about this and would LOVE to have it digitally.
Thank you KennziKaige! Best of luck on your project! :) I think the day will come that I will have to try a little harder at making my own, but my playtime is really sporadic with my work schedule. I think I'll get to it, fortunately a lot of good resources available for prospective CAWing. Also, lots of great created…
I am having a similar issue. I am going to see if I can manually install the latest patch. Edit: It is bringing up the launcher now, but it's still borked. It was in a long loading loop when I moused over anything on the launcher, and when that finally stopped,all my expansions/stuff packs are greyed out like I don't have…
