  • It's a glitch in the game. Trees and some shrubs can 'fall' through ground level and appear on the basement level. They'll usually still appear on the ground level but the lighting is off on them (at least in my game). I see this on many EA lots, and nothing seems to fix it. I read once on here that it was a bug EA was…
  • I don't know of such a mod, but there are mods which you can use to kill sims (NRaas MasterController has a 'Force Kill' option). So, I was thinking you could play with the Unlucky trait and if an unexpected death occurs then: wait until the sim is resurrected, remove the Unlucky trait with MasterController (I think you'll…
  • I wonder if you could have used MC to reset the sims nearest the impact point. Or maybe used MC's 'Go Home' command to get them to move out of the way. I've only had Ambitions' meteors hit on my sims' home lot, and that makes it easy to get everyone either off the lot or away from the point of impact. I haven't yet had one…

  • It doesn't matter. The majors from UL don't help self-employed careers, nor any of the ITF rabbit hole careers. So, it's really up to you since the major would be more for story. I think Technology or science would be a good choice. The NRaas Careers mod and its Academics module will assign a degree to benefit most of the…

  • I think you can disable that feature. Have you tried setting: City hall or any computer>NRaas>MasterController>Settings>Use Party Filter to False? Default is True
  • Do you have UL? If so your sim can gain enough social networking skill (level 7) and gain access to the Relationship Transmogrifier app which might be able to change the relationship level. I'm not 100% sure as I haven't used the Relationship Transmogrifier much. I'm also not sure how quickly you can raise the skill; I…
  • If one of your sims can purchase the Collection Helper LTR and you have the Prism Art Studio then you can quickly make a ton of money by collecting metals and smelting them with the Artisan's Glassblowing and Jewelry Making Station. Metals smelted this way are worth far more that if the ore is mailed in. It might depend on…
  • Self-employed, usually farming a cash crop, nectar making, or writing. Once the money starts rolling in my sims usually end up buying property and running a resort or two. Occasionally collecting gems, rocks, and/or relics (through tomb exploring or excavating dig sites) contributes a substantial portion of the household…
  • The Fall Festival usually has a haunted house on the lot which sims can tour. One of the possible outcomes of 'braving' the haunted house is the sim being turned into a ghost temporarily. If it was an active sim you'd see a moodlet with a timer. It only lasts a few hours.
  • I've had that happen when the quest sim is in the process of going from one lot to another. Usually I just wait a few sim hours and try again. Or I use NRaas MasterController to locate the sim and see what's going on. Have you tried resetting Adaeze Min? Maybe find her household, send your sim there, then reset Min? If you…
  • I've never seen that wish! Too bad, most of my sim couples have more than 10 children.
  • Depends on your monitor. If the native refresh rate of your monitor is 120, then having the game's FPS capped at 120 is fine. However, if your monitor's refresh rate is 60, there's no benefit at all to capping your frame rate higher than 60. The danger is that if uncapped, the frame rate will run in the hundreds and…
  • Well, that was hundreds of bottles of nectar. I was purging items due to Error Code 12 popping up in that game (selling the nectar didn't help with that, unfortunately). I do occasionally have my sims drink nectar for the moodlets. But unfortunately the maids clean up the glasses before I've had 4 sims drink the glasses.…
  • I didn't find that to be true in my game. With some nectar recipes I researched online my sims make valuable nectar. I try to store it as long as possible, but sometimes I just consign right away. The last household who invested in nectar making consigned their entire cellar for ~1.4 million simoleons. The nectar was…
  • I usually age sims up with MasterController, not a cake. Sometimes I'll gather the family around if the sims is aging to a teen or older, sometimes not. Depends on the game. With larger households (above 14) I tend to age sims up in such a way that the birthday doesn't affect the action queues of the rest of the household.…
  • You can check their reputation (from ... Generations?) in the scrapbook. The UL social groups are something different.
  • Moonlight Falls is one of the better EA worlds (IMO). Not laggy like Bridgeport, lots of room to grow (also unlike Bridgeport). Elixirs to make sims into supernaturals should eventually show up at the Elixir Consignment Shop. Check daily. Or, any sim can learn the Alchemy skill (purchase the alchemy bench in Hobbies &…
  • I've used Suvadiva before, but only as a vacation world. Suvadiva doesn't come with most rabbit holes. There's a grocery store. I don't recall if you need the rabbit hole rugs for that or whether the RH is placed in a basement like the resort RHs. The world has one dock and houseboat which you could delete and put in an IP…
  • The most I've had a family accumulate was 25-30 million. Most of it was from owning property, aging nectar, and growing red berry beans.
  • I could go either way. He doesn't need them, but he seems more idiosyncratic wearing them (which is always hot, IMHO).
  • I try to keep tubs in the house, for submarine adventures and bubble baths and so try to add a shower. Particularly for the master bath where sometimes it's helpful to have both. Otherwise, if I can't fit in a shower in addition to the existing bath, I'll substitute a shower/bath combo.
  • I've gotten proms on a Wed. I assumed it was due to the game scheduling them since I've never changed NRaas SP settings to change allowable days.
  • Use MasterController + Cheats to give your sim enough lifetime happiness points (maybe 30K) and purchase the time remote control LTR. You can use that to change the future to any state you wish. [edit: there's a cheat way to get the lifetime points but MC is much faster. Of course, if your sim already has the points, you…
  • I don't use the celebrity system, and then disable paparazzi with NRaas Register anyways. I rarely get random sims coming to the door. I remember this use to happen when I first started playing. Maybe one of my mods has cut down on this behavior. If I did, I'd use NRaas MasterController's Go Home command to send the sim…
  • I didn't see anything at MTS or simsasylum. You might be able to do what you want with NRaas Retuner. I've never changed these settings so consider this experimental: City hall or any computer>NRaas>Retuner>Settings>General>By Tunable XML>Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.Environment>MagicGnome Under this option look for these two…
  • For me, burned food only happens in early games with new CAS sims. I always start my games with a single sim or perhaps 2 sims in a steady relationship, not with a family. One of those sims will eventually learn cooking. or learn enough advanced technology to get good meals out of the food synthesizer. By the time I have a…
  • I hate that too. For me, resetting right before I send the household to bed works out to be a pretty good time for most of my sims. Their motives are set to be fairly high except energy (deep yellow) and fun (at 50%). Sometimes I may tweak motives with TCE but usually I just use TCE to teleport them close to their beds and…
  • I might try buying an empty residential lot, put in a basement or other simple structure, and move all the unused objects there - if you have a lot of them. I do this when I play Isla Paradiso and my sims live in a houseboat where there isn't much room. I've never tried offloading objects onto an additional own home solely…
  • I've had long loading times occasionally and in the past when I've tried emptying out inventories it never seemed to make a difference. I wouldn't worry too much about items in inventories with respect to loading times. I've found that reducing the number of household members and reducing the numbers of objects on the lot…
