I don't know if the end of my comment posted? I didn't realize we are limited to a certain # of characters. So yeah, when my young adult Sim wanted to ask her father about his love life, argh! I had to send Dad home to save him from his own daughter! Also maybe Simmers everywhere should write about their experiences with…
Regarding my just previous comment at 4:34 p.m., I said that I had removed the romantic lot trait from a lot but I meant to add that doing so didn't stop my nannies and butlers from "feeling flirty". I have been using a mod to make my nannies and butlers be young adults so maybe this could be part of the problem? I've…
I am new to MC Command Center but so far I haven't seen anything to stop my nannies and butlers from feeling flirty. In one of my previous towns it was happening in a home with the lot romantic trait so I got rid of that trait. There is a stop autonomous flirting mod by Aariancya however. I haven't installed it yet but I…
My issue is that the service workers, a nanny or a butler will start 'feeling flirty' - not only with/towards the adults but also with/towards the childen. It's so disgusting and so upsetting! Maybe EA''s programming is mistakenly equating 'playful' with 'flirty', but whatever it is, it has to stop! One time I had a nanny…
Hmm. My puppy and my kitten have not aged up and I had them one Sim day before my Sim got pregnant, and she had the baby a half Sim day ago and neither animal has aged up yet. I'm worried my Sims will be elderly before they get a dog and a cat out of this deal, lol. Are pets aging up at random, differing rates or am I…
As a side note - argh! I'm signed in but I can't figure out how to initiate a discussion/thread/topic. I don't post comments in the Forum very often, but when posting previously, don't recall having this issue - so what am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help! Speaking of a matter related to food though, I am currently being…
I hope I'm commenting in the right place & in the correct way. I rarely participate in the Forum, nor do I participate in the challenges. Everyone has their own way of playing, I guess & mine is pretty different. I don't even allow my young adults to age. If I want an elderly person, I just create one. No doubt this is odd…
Hi all, I still need help figuring out how to install Barnacle Bay, Hidden Springs and Riverview on my son's 15 inch MacBook Pro. On a PC the process is easy and automatic via the Launcher. But when I tried to download Hidden Springs recently, it refused to go in the Sims 3 folder. And even when I finally did get it in the…
You all are Brilliant! Thank you so much! I followed your instructions and everything worked perfectly! After successfully installing Pets, I installed Generations and Ambitions successfully. I'll wait until next Saturday to install all of the other expansion and stuff packs. The only odd thing was that: Regarding the Sim…
I found a wonderful free program called CleanMyMac that will help uninstall various Sims expansions and stuff packs. Earlier I actually tried dragging Ambitions, Late Night and Town Life Stuff into the Trash, but when we started up the game, nothing had apparently been deleted/uninstalled. Maybe there are extra copies of…
I've decided that the easiest thing to do for my son (since he can't play meaningfully anyway) is to uninstall everything, then only reinstall the base game and Sims 3 pets when it arrives. That way if there are complications, there will be fewer issues to troubleshoot. What do you recommend the most? Patching Sims 3 base…
We're off to breakfast right now, so I'll continue to try to puzzle through this stuff when we return. I'm thinking of just switching computers with him, giving him my new HP laptop in exchange for his MacBook, because I don't plays Sims 3 nearly as often as World of Warcraft and Toontown. All of this is silly anyway…
Uninstall and reinstall everything? I didn't have to do that on a PC. Is the same going to be true for Pets 3? Why does everything require so much extra work on a Mac? What's the point of having one if it always requires so much extra work that may or may not even work after completion? I'm gonna cry, lol. I'll get back to…
Argh, once again at wit's end. Upon trying to install Generations I got the message saying it was already installed in that location. But of course not functioning. Oh well. I found this number on the lower left of the launcher, perhaps it is the base game version? 9.0.73.012001 ? I'm losing all hope, lol...
I unchecked the box you suggested. I'm not sure how to find the Sims 3 base game patch version on a Mac. I did right click on the Sims 3 file in Applications and selected 'Get Info' which initially gave me a long number beginning in 1.00. But I accidentally deleted what I'd written to you so far, and I can't seem to find…
I'm checking on base game patch right now. I will do as you said with the automatic thingie you mentioned. I thought I updated the Macbook last night (there were 3 updates waiting for me) but I'm pretty sure that was before I gave you the specs for the system. I'll look at that again. Just to be sure, Generations should…
Hello Again, As promised, here are the specs for my son's new Macbook. Hopefully this is all the info you need. And hopefully we can figure out how to get Generations working for him. Thanks for your help :) -- Hillary 15-inch, Early 2011 Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256 MB Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1…
Gosh, this so frustrating. This was all so automatic on Windows, the only complication being patches and whether or not they temporarily messed up peoples' games. I hope someone gets back to us soon. I don't really want to have to pay an Apple Store customer service person to tell me how to fix the problem. Fingers crossed…
I'm having the same difficulty with Barnacle Bay which I also own. When I look in the applications folder I see Hidden Springs at the top of the application list, however when I try to drag it into the Sims 3 folder it won't go. It just stays at the top of the list.
I am having a similar problem. My memories upload to Facebook but then when I click on them and am taken to My Studio at thesims3.com, the memories/screenshots aren't there.
Okay this one worked for me, thankfully. The other one I tried said it was for the wrong game region. I guess I'll start up the game and see if it works. Thanks for your help!!! :)
I tried this one and got the message that it's for a different game region than mine o_0 OMG, so is there more than one of these update URL's, and if so where would I find it?
Same for me, but I can handle it. My adult autistic son, however, who adores Sims 2 & 3 and has been eagerly awaiting Generations, is not handling this well at all. Hopefully by now there's a URL for this alleged game update we all need >.<
Hello, Disabling Custom content did work, that is, no further crashing occurred when running Create-a-Sim. So should I just leave all the files on the computer, or delete them manually? If so, what are the folder names I would go to? I did notice that some custom content had creeped into the regular files, however it…
