Weird but this is the first time I'm actually playing a sim family in a "normal" life-span mode instead of my standard "epic" (with changes). Been having a blast. There is a different level of play involved here. I did start off with a married couple though.

  • Hello ErnesaT, I'm here. I have the same user name. Mostly just lurk and occasionally post. Still playing TS3 with all the fun stuff. I was the lavender chica, as I've gotten older, I'm into pink a bit more but still a lavender chica lol. Anyhoo, so happy to log on and see you posted a few days ago. So happy to see you…
  • well it seems when there is updates. esp like today's update (or update since my first posting) It might be an admin thing with the newer version of windows. Methinks I recall long ago some issues. Thing is, my computer expert DH found issues with EA certificates esp as regarding TS3. Even today, it's a crap shoot if TS3…
  • Swift (sp?) grow garden center. Specifically the composter. All my sims garden and so all my sims, without fail get this item. That and the tablets so they can listen to tabcasts say for charisma (something I don't mind if they get ahead of sooner than later)
  • The invisible thing, you can fix with some NRAAS mods(OW or ET, though I'm not sure). As to the firefighter bugs, well, there are a lot of them. There are times when the firefighter WILL NOT route to the fire and wants to do anything else instead. That was the worst one, but though a fun career, it can be quite…
  • I kind of already have all TS3 stuff (only really missing some of the early promotions, Dr. Pepper and some other stuff). I do say, the only way I'd be willing to touch TS4 is if there is a UC /Game of the Year edition/s. However, if they had a 64 bit TS3, yeah, I'd be all over that (meaning I'd pay again for it).
  • Also there are others in Rflong's worlds that offer most of the venues. Beach City is one and Isle of Sims III is another. I do like Legacy III as well. BTW, for my own question, those that use My Sims Realty, do the lots come pre-loaded into the worlds or do I have to download the lots as well. For example on Meadow Glen…
  • @chocbubbles thank you for the wishes. Many hugs and happy simming!
  • Or even worse, when your spouse knows all the Simslish phrases by heart and has never played the game. And to add to that, when you see the newscaster look like a Sims4 character and wonder how much more lifelike they would be in TS3 with CC skin. Even my husband thinks the guy looks like a TS4 character.
  • @Kylieb191 How did you get that last picture? It looks nice a clear and love it. I ask because I have a large family and can't really take pictures in the greeting cards anymore. (it only allows for 8, I have twelve). To answer @Finbar659 question, nah, I don't really need cheats per say. However the "parent" sims have…
  • Since I decided to DL all the beards (well a lot), I figured I retry the link for Simplified Life and, YIPPEE, it worked. There was no issue with the link this time. (I had tried over 5 different times and on different days on previous attempts). I now have quite a few more hair options. Oh and a couple more questions, I'm…
  • It depends on the world and you also need to have the child check the baking report in the papers. It tells what is selling that day. BTW my profile picture if that of a sim selling baked goods (after she took a taste). I found that setting up right outside of the supermarket was one of the better areas to sell. It works…
  • I love seeing everyone's pictures(they are awesome!) and you all have inspired me to take more screenshots. So here is my dull contribution to the dull pictures story. I also think some glitches help tell a story too. Collin has such a headache from eating chilli Maybe it wasn't the chilli but the hand stuck in his head.
  • @Pary and @coco This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you both. BTW, @Pary how does the body hair overlay work on darker skin ramps? I believe Procrasimation (not sure of her EA account) had this issue with some body hair. Actually I'm playing one of her sims, it's his children that are having issues with body hair…
  • Opps, didn't recognize that the thread was necromanced. So many of these options were not available then hehehe.
  • @Evalen I noticed that life span was not included in this. So I assume it's the default life span and not long or epic. Just curious about celebrities also, is that turned off too? (a sim can get some nice bling just by being a celebrity). Lastly what about store skill items (like the tabcast from tablets). I will say,…
  • I've seen your Tumblr posts. My Tumblr is not really a simblr as much as a collection of whatever. I do like seeing the sims stuff, but I also like the Tumblrs that post other things too and see many things I would otherwise not go looking for. I can get lost scrolling through my Tumblr feed.
  • @AceofSpades2231 if you play in Sunnydale, the place the sims go to most often is the gym more than any other place. I remember that from playing a vanilla game (before mods). If you wait a few minutes (start a work out) they tend to show up. This was how I met most of my sims from my first save (yeah I still have those…
  • This may have been mentioned before and I know there have been comics made about this...but the stinkeye given during potty training. (I like it a bit better than the "angry poop" because if you know wee ones, they can be little terrors).
  • I'm late to the party, but OMG, I just noticed the picture on the start menu when you have an infant. It is just too sweet for words. I'm not sure if this is just for first children, but the photo was so adorable, it was one big group hug and the you can't see the parent's faces as they are cooing over their child.
  • Do you have Register? (a Nraas mod). I really do suggest it. The default for many of the pets is something like 6 (these are stays and wild animals that spawn and the spawning can mess things up if the spawn in the wrong place). I turn all cats and dogs to zero and keep one of the deer and racoon. The horses and unicorns,…
  • Smaller world or Pets. Also have you tried doing all the things the Nraas site recommends? @igazor has links somewhere. I know for my own game, it helps to use some mods to limit things, such as register to limit wild Pets (and a few other things). You can also turn off pets in the options panel of the game.
  • Mostly I like the mods to help fix (or prevent) bugs from messing with my game. Most of the time they are in the background doing their thing, but I love being able to control animal populations, paparazzi, celebrity status(ie, no celebrity disgrace for wohoo with occult and lessen the amount of celebrities) and more. As…
  • I've been trying to use simport in the last month or so. I kind of enjoy it. Been able to host more than send as my magician is single and haven't figured out who else I want in her household. BTW user name here is same as on my TS3 site. Happy Simming.
  • @ChelleJo Awesome!!!! Hey I was in the same boat. I JUST figured it out only in the last month or so too, so don't feel bad. Think of it this way, the game has been out all this time and we are still figuring it out and finding new features. That I think is pretty awesome. :smiley: Happy Simming
  • @igazor thanks for clearing up the OW thing. I know this was a burning question for me for quite awhile, so I do a bunch of things to keep the pet population in control. It's been awhile since I figured all this out and do all these things and my game seems to do pretty well. I don't have pets in the family for all my…
  • I've had this happen with my sim dog. You need to click on the icon of the hunted (in my dog's case it was metal). It seems obvious now, but I didn't know until recently (I'm talking like this July) and wasn't sure what was happening. I would have the same thing as what you are describing. It's kind of the same little…
  • which animals were spawning? I use register and OW to control animal populations. There is a setting in OW that can prevent the town from adopting pets. Register is good for the wild animals and strays. Many I set to zero and then others to only one or two depending on the town. There is also a setting in SP (and I think…
  • I mainly use buydebug cheat to buy chests, for the most part, because it makes bugs happen less when you travel to uni or other worlds, also get all those diplomas and certificates out of the way. Beyond that, like many others have posted before me, no money cheats except to take money away. If you play on epic settings…
  • Which one did you install? I really like Burnt Waffels' Blue Skies Mod. I do agree that lighting mods do show off the beauty of the towns.
  • I'd also add IP (Island Paradise). @HSmith2016 : Ambitions was one of my first EP's and played with little difficulty(I added Generations and High End Loft SP at the same time too). I too ran it on an older laptop once upon a time ago and no issues until I tried to add, if memory serves, Pets, and then mostly needed…
