  • I don't like the kits. I purchased the dust one, but I keep wanting it gone. Even when I turn off the effects in the settings, the maid still vacuums- and vacuums and vacuums and won't clean anything else!! Then I'm stuck in an inspired mood- no matter what I do to get my sim focused, confident, or energized, the vacuumed…
  • The page to purchase has an error!!
  • Conservationist Career: Survey Ocean Floor works (at red buoy), Survey Ocean Wildlife works, but only if I click on a turtle in the ocean, snorkeling from buoy does not complete job task. However, Snorkel in Mau Pel'am does not work, at any time. Not at a buoy and not clicking on turtles in the ocean. It's not like I can't…
  • Where are the aspirations and traits to go with the new jobs??? It's nearly impossible to create a sim to put into a new job and have them fulfill any whims! I'm absolutely loving the jobs and being able to control my sims at work, but the lack of matching aspirations and traits is a BIG issue! How can I have a doctor that…
  • Oh my goodness, downloading is the worst!! Any time I'm watching a bar fill up, I want to reach for the number pad! :D
  • I am offended that I must now search out strangers for my sims! Playing The Sims, for me, has always been part of my "me time", NOT something I do for socialization! I do not want to have to send out dozens of invites that never get answered, or if they do, the people don't actually DO anything with the SimPort - I hate…
  • Awesome! Thanks for all the great suggestions!
  • Thanks for the input! I will just ignore her wishes to make nectar with weird things. ;)
  • I have a nectar question ... My sim has mastered nectar making and wants to make a nectar from Bell Peppers, but the game won't let me put those in the nectar making machine ... do I need to complete an adventure first? She also wants to make nectar from garlic, but I know that won't be allowed either. How do I get to use…
  • I have had people move in together as roommates, but no one ever gets married. There are plenty of babies being born in town, but the parents are never together. I have all the patches, some custom content from the Store and a couple of mods. Everything else seems to run just fine. The latest patch doesn't do what it said…
  • I have found tons of gnomes when I send gems out to be cut. They come back with the cut stones. I have also found gnomes while fishing. I find them all the time! Sometimes they're a nuisance because they get in the way, and turn on the tv while someone is napping! LOL! :)
  • If your game is currently working, then many here would advise that you not even try to install the patches - any of them.
  • I have used mods and player created custom content from the beginning. Maybe EA has too much on their plate to be able to give the attention to detail that we're all looking for from them. Who knows, but honestly, I've found that mods help my game run better. And as long as they don't crash your game, I say Go for it! ;)…
  • Oh my goodness, I TOTALLY understand that! Before the whole patch fiasco (I had to completely re-install, and lost all my saved games - and I am STILL depressed over it - so much time and effort!) I had played one family exclusively for a couple of weeks. I went through several generations with them. One of the children…
  • I agree completely! I get proud when my sims fill up a skill, or write a best-seller ... perhaps it's the "God complex" that I find so appealing. :wink: My husband picks on me all the time for being so addicted to this game. I may complain about what's happening with EA right now, but I'm not sure I would ever be able to…
  • I'm glad you got your family back! Awesome! :D
  • Game Update for: 1.4 POSTED ON 08/05/09 07:11 PMComplete list of changes: •PC Only: Addressed an issue where a user was unable to uninstall The Sims™ 3 if the 1.3 update was interrupted. •Mac Only: Fixed a problem that prevented players from installing custom content after installing the 1.3 update. •After getting promoted…
  • I can understand why you don't like it! If I played my game that way, I would have smoke coming from my ears, for sure! It's strange that I don't care if the children from my created family move out of the neighborhood, but they don't - and those of you who want them to stay are losing them ... I'm finding it amazing that…
  • I understand the difference between story progression and aging, though with all the conflicting answers here, it's a wonder that I do understand. I don't have an issue with sims growing old and dying, so I play with aging on. I also don't have a problem with neighborhood sims moving away on their own, so I play with story…
  • I understand your advice here, but to me, it sounds like a lot of work. This is a game, and I purchased it to play - not to spend hours in edit mode telling everyone where to go and when. I really do want my neighborhood sims, townies and others, to go about their lives without interference from me. I spend a lot of time…
  • What I think is crap is that I no longer have a choice in the matter at all. What if I WANT my sims to be able to move away? What if I really don't want a neighborhood filled with relations? We all play the Sims differently, which is one of the draws for this game. EA however, is trying to make us all play it the same way…
  • This is crazy! So many assumptions are flying around ... and I remember what my mother taught me about assuming things! Anyway, if I go into a neighborhood house, Agnes Crumplebottom for example, make a few changes - finish the unfinished room, change her clothes, etc., she then becomes a "player controlled sim" - correct?…
  • I can certainly understand why people would want some families protected and not be removed through story progression. However, EA took this way too far, in my opinion. I always add families to my neighborhood that are SUPPOSED to be governed by story progression. That's part of the fun of the living neighborhood - for me.…
  • I am irate over this latest patch! For me, having sims that I have created or controlled "protected" takes away all of my enjoyment! EA has completely ruined this game for me with this one move. I was not having any of the issues that the patch fixes, and I have no crashing issues afterward, but ... I don't even want to…
  • I want the new update GONE!! In one move, EA has completely ruined this game for me. Is there a way to uninstall an update without uninstalling the whole game?? I do NOT want the families I have created, or controlled, "protected"!! I want them to go about their lives, in the LIVING NEIGHBORHOOD the game promised me!!!…
