  • Very funny.. I guess. ha ha ha Anyway I am far from panicking. I never panic because I expect these kinds of things. There are alternatives to Photobucket, Microsoft, Apple and all that. People would do well to stay familiar with options because "panicking" over what they do indicates a level of dependence and that's how…
  • I know, kinda off topic which was PhotoBucket, but on-topic as far as Big tech is concerned: I work in I T but not for MorcuSoft, so my information is probably as good as yours.. or not, but I'm going by the fact that they didn't give away Windows 10 for nothing-- for nothing-- and while Windows 10 "expires" in 2025, they…
  • Quote Truncated For Relevance: Well, thank you for that, Park. I do have Cats and Dogs, so you see, I had to get the patches. Besides, I believe in keeping my game up-to-date. I'm just sorry that that last patch (the December one) seems to have wreaked its own havoc. It purportedly fixed the GTW career issues, which was…
  • "Free" Photobucket can still be used to warehouse your photos (up to a "data" limit-- meaning either a bunch of small JPGs or a handful of BMPs) and you can access and download them as you please. Third party "hosting", on the other hand is where they want the cash, and the only way EA and anyone else who hosts photo links…
  • Not to sprinkle salt on you, but that November 15th patch was so buggy-for those not using mods or CC- that they had to crank out an emergency patch the next day. I don't want to come down on those who do the work and pour their hearts into it, but if I had to guess, the percentage of the overall budget for work on this…
  • Sorry: "The Sign Says Long-Haired, Freaky People Need Not Apply...." (The original version of course. I dig dinosaur music! Vinyl, Baby!)

  • Unless this is an inside joke, which is very possible since I'm in here only slightly more often than a blue moon, the "official" speed of light is pegged at exactly 299,792,458 meters per second in a vacuum. This is listed as exact because the "meter" is defined by this constant and the international standard of time.…
  • I try to use white but when I exit and sign back in later, it defaults to green. Night mode would be nice, but as one who works nights I suppose it doesn't really matter personally...except that green .. Sim green-- is boring after 3 years in here.

  • I kind of thought it was just "one of those things", the site logs you in according to whatever platform you are using so having both shouldn't have mattered, but as one of the few I know of who do not do mobile I thought I'd toss that idea out there. That and I was bored, wandering through the threads and looking to throw…
  • Did everyone who experienced this have the site on mobile as well as via PC? I didn't see any doubled badges, but then again I do not use mobile devices to go online. I wouldn't see how using one or the other has anything to do with the site itself, but I thought I'd toss my two cents in, even if only for a point of…
  • I guess I am lucky. I still have the plain base Sims 1 installation disk in its original packaging (of course it was called only "The Sims" -- and a dinosaur Windows XP computer to play it on-- if I were so inclined. Actually I have a game in progress on one of those scrap-heap refugee machines but in booting that ancient…
  • @Hearts4u Please.. There is a better way to register such feedback to the mod, which is by far the most comprehensive, game-program-gap-filling mod I have ever seen. It comes with concise documentation and amazing support you can get without having to write to the author or those who work with him to deliver this masterful…
  • .. I think that was done Maybe not regarding a death but something not particularly "awesome" But as for returning other buttons, unless the site is set to reveal who clicked what, it'll always have problem-clickers and reactions thereto, thus forming the very distractions the new moderators were brought in to help quell.…
  • Yikes, for a moment there I thought you were talking about your own eyes and I was gonna say "Yeah, me too I'd love to look into getting my eyes replaced, also." Seriously, though I don't mind their eyes so much, I'd just like to get different hairstyles for them. I'd have to up the CC load a bit because, while I know…
  • Interesting thread. To be honest I have made only 2 sims in CAS since I bought this game in 2014, they're repli-sims of myself and my partner, and neither of us have "that perfect bod" and my avatar has make-up while I almost never use that stuff-- but in CAS it's really easy to give them "less than perfect" attributes. As…
  • Well 7 or 8 out of 68 isn't bad. Perhaps they just left early because the last day of anything isn't much to crow about. As for allergies and free goodies.. seems to me that nowadays it just isn't safe to give away anything edible because you just never know who is allergic to what. Maybe give them a small bottle of…
  • Ask @rosemow, to be sure, (I Tagged her so she'll see this thread/question) ---but I would think it shouldn't be an issue if you post it in "off topic" which is billed as a place for "anything not game-related" meaning this game.
  • Cool times in HotLanta BAHAHAHAHAHA
  • Thanks.. I realize I could be behind the times, as I don't come in ere often and usually find I'm several pages behind when I do come in I probably missed a number of posts on this topic. If my post is redundant let me know and I'll get rid of it. No sense beating deceased horses. Meanwhile what also may have been already…
  • I got an email in my spam box today purporting to be from Photobucket claiming that I am not allowed to post pics on third party sites, forums and all that. "on my service level". Not sure if it's a scam to get me to "buy" a premium level from a spoofed site or they really don't want people to use photobucket for what it…
  • Well we play with them a little but that's because they're a pain in the rear. That and, as I mentioned above, except for a few additional interactions like "help with homework"-- the parents don't really "recognize" them as anything other than ordinary sim children.
  • ... still trying to decide (we, that is, @Park and myself share an installation) . --If parenthood is worth getting. I see on my game load screen that EA is knocking 25% off the list price.
  • Yeah Happy Birthday.. and the cool part is the next one is now less than a year away!
  • I couldn't agree more. It does seem that the characters themselves just lack depth in their interactions. Aside from a few added interactions such as "lecture on responsibility" and "help with homework" , the parent/child or parent/teen relationships are otherwise simply room-mate situations, and as such the roommate…
  • Some appear "well-made" and I will involve them in my games, others seem to have been spat out from the game's "reject pile". Those I won't delete but I won't deal with them, either, and they eventually get culled. Out of sight out of mind.
  • Babies. Phooey! I use MC_C and set the life-stage duration to one day for those infernal little beasts, and then stay out of that particular household until it turns into a toddler (and the time range on those is only marginally longer. They're "better" than the babies but not by much. "But hey, That's Just Me" * * * *…
  • If you pull it up on MTS and the "latest" is January, then those who tell you to download "the latest version" to solve its broken-ness.. haven't checked to see the status of that particular mod and are just giving out "the usual advice" to get the latest and the greatest. More often than not it's a good place to start but…
  • May 25th, still nothing. I did a search in the event there was some official information posted somewhere but this is the only thread I came across. BBCode stopped working after that maintenance thingy they did some days ago. Now that I see there is an issue with New Members not getting moved to full status after they…
  • @Karababy52 I'm a semi regular non-writer so I'm not all that visible on here but I have been around enough to be able to say "Welcome to the Sewing Circle". As is my usual, hard to break pattern I saw your avatar and therefore thought you were a "he". I have to always remind myself that not all avatars are simselves as…
  • There's a whole category that is blank "Sims Mobile". I don't use it, but I am unaccustomed to seeing so many "zeroes" on the boards.
