I ran mine off an external for years but I don't use a Mac, so I'm afraid I can't really help you out. I'm pretty sure I used the same/similar external (500GB WD) with no problems though.
Signed, definitely!!! I love the paradise worlds (sunlit tides, world with Island Paradise etc) but I wouldn't want my Sim family to live there all the time, which means that I never get to play any of them.
I have already tried those fixes - my backup files are in the same state. The saves are not corrupted, they just have a ridiculous amount of glitches going on at the same time, and they are not old either - the last game to be broken by so many issues was only created on Monday. I am not willing to mod my game, so I can't…
Nope, it's fine with that too. It has worked in the sense that I have played it on the system, it's just that when I try to go back to a previous save there are too many issues for me to be able to play it. I have to start a new game every single time, which is utterly pointless.
My main game broke two days after the laptop arrived - dust is not the problem. The laptop is only a month or so old. Cooling system is fine also. I really don't know what to do to fix it, everything I try just does nothing.

I left them. That seems to have fixed the Ice Lounge, every other issue is still there. I think I'm going to have to start again, but there's no point; I've started at least ten games since this laptop arrived and they have all broken. There has to be something that's causing it.
It's Starlight Shores, and it was ANY empty lot, not just the 64x64 one. I changed the lot type of the 64x64 to residential and was able to move there, but only after I'd moved into a house, and on top of all the other issues that are in my game. I'd be willing to try that, but I'm not sure what I'd need to move.
Bumping this, as my new game has also broken. The issues with my old game are obviously not save-specific. I have had this laptop for over a month now and the game has never worked properly on it. No matter how many saves I make they always break. I'd really appreciate help as I cannot play the game at all anymore. There…
Horses can't have foals - they just have the "give birth" action over and over. My pets list on the left is flooded with blank boxes and the horse is still not giving birth to an actual foal, it's just coming up with her giving birth and naming a foal over and over and over. I have a horrible feeling that she's pregnant in…
I have this issue. My Sim has 30 credits and I cannot return to finish the degree because she never arrives. - I'm not using any mods. - I'm not using any cc. - This is a new game with UL as my old game is broken apparently beyond a fix. - I used a Sim from the library to make my new game as it takes ages (read: hours) to…
Yes, the lot is residential, the game is updated and yes I kept saved material (for no reason apparently, since it's all still broken). It won't let me place any lots anywhere either - so much for my ice lounge and pet shop :(
Yeah that's what I'm gonna do I think. I get less than a minute of playing time before the game starts to lag too badly to play (20 minutes freeze between 10 seconds playing time, impossible) so I'll have to race my game to get it done :( Thanks for the detailed reply! What do you mean by THE sim? There are loads of them…
Thanks for the tip! :) Did they all disappear when you bulldozed it? It's STILL spawning proprietors. I don't want to lose the venue though. I've switched it off now because it was driving me crazy (lagging so badly it was practically playing backwards) but I think I'll try saving the lot, bulldozing it and then placing it…
Same deal, except mine is four years old now. It was the best available when I bought it, I've never upgraded anything on it and there's only one game that I've bought so far that it is unable to run. If my laptop can run Skyrim without issues, it should be able to run the Sims 3. It ran just fine until a short while ago -…
They're both glitchy as hell tbh. I probably get the most fun out of Pets when it isn't being a complete swearword, but I'm not you, so you might prefer Showtime :D
I found the robot fish at Buckshot Lake (about as far from the science facility as you can get) but I didn't find any of the others. My sim's cat finds them when it hunts for fish, so I'll just have to wait until kitty has found ten of each one and then dump them somewhere so they're easier to find.
Oh :? Do any of my options turn the sim into an actual non-ghost died-but-didn't sim? I don't want the ghost on my lot, the sim is a total stranger, and I don't want them to be playable either. I want them to sod off back to the household they came from, just as a living sim instead of a dead one or a ghost. If I can't do…
Oh, I didn't think of the science facility for some reason. Do I have to wait for the opportunity or will the science facility have it as an option as long as I keep the grave? My sim has the wish (with 10,000 lifetime happiness points attached to it) and I don't like losing my townies :( My sim doesn't know the townie who…
I have that bug. I was so p*🐸🐸🐸🐸 when I noticed it. Fishing is one of the main reasons that I go on WA trips. Also on the topic of SS fishing, I can't find fishing locations for robot fish, kissing gourami (or however it's spelt), sea sludge and sewer trilobite. Bar the WA fish, I think I've found all the others. I know…
