@Rylape We are able to, not were. :) And for your question "Why?", I'm afraid nobody except EA/Maxis knows the answer to that. But I can assure you that we have all wondered about it ever since TS4 was released six years ago.

@SPARKY1922 Yeah, I know about the Al Fresco Street Market, I've got it too. :) And should anyone want only the two harvest stands they are on the Eternal Sale list for 422 SimPoints, original price was 556 SP. :)

@SimCat68 When someone is requesting technical help I think the first step should always be to provide a fresh DxDiag report on the computer in question. How to gather information on your PC using DxDiag After the report is finished, upload it to Pastebin and put a link to it in your next comment here.

A bird's-eye view of Riverview:
-
Yes, Riverview is my favorite world too, always has been. It was love at first sight, <3 <3 <3 and the fact that it's FREE makes it even better! Whenever I play in any of the other worlds it always feels like I'm away on a journey, and after a while I invariably start to feel homesick and must return to my lovely…

The title of this thread is confusing. As far as I know you don't get any harvest stands when you buy the Monte Vista world. (And Vista with an a, not an o). Here's everything that comes with Monte Vista:

@Turjan They last rather long actually, thanks for asking. :) But somewhere after around 110-130 weeks they start to feel a bit heavy. They take longer and longer to load, up to 15-20 minutes, and 1-2 minutes to save, and after 130-140 weeks they might throw an Error code 12 now and then if I don't check Task manager…

@starguru All this sounds really familiar... like the camera is slowly moving through thick treacle. I hate it when that happens! :s :rage: Luckily it's pretty rare, maybe half a dozen times a real life year, or something like that, and like you say it's easily fixed. By "UI errors", do mean this?:
-
@Turjan It seems to be safe to delete sims in Edit town mode. I've done it hundreds of times without ever noticing any adverse effect. :)
-
Same here (almost). I play TS3 with all packs and everything from the Store (but NO third party content!) on laptops and desktops that are several years old, and it works fine for the most part. Small and harmless bugs and glitches occur now and then, but that doesn't bother me much. They're usually mendable one way or…

@GraceyManor Which world is it? Is it meant to look like the roof has finally fallen apart after many years of hard weather and wear? The site you uploaded your DxDiag report to is Pastebin.pl, not the real Pastebin.com, but some copy that doesn't seem as good as the real Pastebin.com. Pastebin.pl triggered two of the…

@livingforwards How do you do to bring up the Intel G. C. Center? Is it on the Start menu? Was it already installed on your laptop, or did you have to download it from Microsoft Store first, and install it yourself? Here is an interesting article about the Intel Graphics Command Center at AnandTech. The fourth picture from…

If you have Windows 10 on your computer you might as well use Windows Defender. According to AV-TEST (The Independent Internet Security Institute in Magdeburger, Germany) Win 10 Defender is one of the best nowadays. It's been appointed Top Product with the highest possible score, 6+6+6.
-
@Jase Wise choice! :)
-
@Jase I've been looking into this a bit, and it seems like there are two reasons for decrapifying Store items, one being to make it possble to install pirated Store content, and the other to be able to use EasyCASP Editor or for blacklisting CAS items. Neither of those uses are of interest to me, which is why I've never…
-
@GraceyManor I have everything from the Store, except some of the early branded stuff, and it only takes up 11,1GB. So it should be easy for you to find ways to store your Store items (pun not intended). For example you could buy a couple of 32GB USB-sticks, and you can also use the hard drive from your last laptop that…
-
@Jase What does that mean?? (puzzled look)
-
@Cororon Okay, point taken. :) On topic: Have you seen the episode titled "Basil the Rat", from Fawlty Towers? It's absolutely hilarious, British comedy at its best. :D :D :D
-
It's 60 for this laptop, answer from Acer representative/TeamAcer: "This Nitro 5 laptop has a 60hz LCD panel."
-
@livingforwards Is 600 a typo? Did you mean to write 60 instead? I think it would be better if you wait with adding third party content until you've got the computer in correct working order, with the right settings applied and proven to have taken effect. Yes, gaming laptops tend to be a bit big and bulky. My 17" Asus…
-
@Simprincess He's a real little trooper, Nibbles! :) Maybe he would have lived even longer if your human sim had bought the Animal Expert reward before he/she acquired Nibbles?
-
@Cororon That's probably best, if you intend to continue buying and eating their products. I know it's not possible to avoid all processed food, all you can do is try to stay away from the worst cases. :( The only way to get really good Kålpudding, meatballs and all the other food cooked with minced meat is to buy only the…
-
@livingforwards If you want a more exact benchmarking you can use Fraps, play with it turned on for a while, then save and exit the game, open the .csv file that Fraps created and check the numbers. Since 400 FPS is too high they will have be to lowered by turning on vsync, that will synchronise them to your monitors…
-
Yeah, but what good is that going to do if it doesn't work to turn on vsync on dual graphics laptops? At least I've never seen it work so far, and since you didn't answer my question if you have ever seen it, I take that to mean you haven't either, which is what I expected.
-
@livingforwards Look in the Device manager, or System information. Run a DxDiag report. If your laptop has dual graphics both the Intel chip and the dedicated card should be listed there. How to gather information on your PC using DxDiag Right click somewhere on the screen and see which Control Panels show up in the…
-
@puzzlezaddict If the laptop @livingforwards has ordered has dual graphics, which is highly likely since it's considered a gaming laptop, turning on vsync in the Nvidia Control Panel won't work. I have three gaming laptops with dual graphics, and I had to turn on vsync in the Intel Control Panel on all of them. Doing it in…
-
@Simprincess But if you do that you'll never know what the effect of the Animal Expert Lifetime reward actually is, and exactly how much longer Nibbles will live after your sim has bought it, compared to before. I think you should keep him and see what happens, you know, for science :)
-
@Cororon I'm listening to that Susie Q song now as I'm writing this! :) The spelling differs, but the pronunciation is the exact same as my username. :) I flinched a bit when I saw that about you buying Dafgårds... I've seen pictures from their factory of when they're making minced meat... Tell you what, I think I better…
-
@GlacierSnow Okay, it's a pity it didn't work for you like it did for me, but at least you tried, that's always something. :)
Howdy, Stranger!
