  • I think I'm probably one of the only people who is really disappointed with the game. I just think everything is too rushed. There are a million billion things to do on campus, there are day jobs, comic book stores, bowling, cafe, etc, but there's so little time. I want my sims to earn As every semester, but basically if…
  • This happens to me only after winter comes and my plants go into the dormant stage! They come out of the dormant stage only to be stuck at the harvest stage. I have a fairy sim and they can't use bloom either to try and get the plant unstuck. I'm really frustrated because I sold all of my nice harvestables after the plants…
  • After we've cleared culinary, but not the amazing naturalist, can you make tofu based dishes? You can't technically grow tofu in the game so I wasn't sure if it counted as a vegetable (since it's technically soy beans) or not. Also can we make meat based dishes, like hot dogs since it doesn't use any vegetables or fish?…
  • I've been trying this challenge for a little bit, but I ended up accidentally breaking so many rules in my first attempt that I decided to try again and keep closer to the rules this time. :oops: I have a question about the Master Thief/Emperor of Evil. Is the Emperor of Evil the one that clears the Criminal Mastermind or…
  • I think it depends on their relationship with the person? Sometimes my sims drift apart and then when the sim's parent dies, they don't really care, but if they're friends then they get upset.
  • It might, if you do, you should just not install the latest patch, maybe that will help...
  • The problem is that you can't delete the imaginary friend, even if you have moveobjects on! I have tried so hard to get rid of that stupid thing but it won't delete!! I don't know how to get rid of it!
  • @Cecil I tried this in my game, but if I reset the entire neighborhood, it still happens like an hour later (sim time) anyways and I don't want to have to reset the entire neighborhood every minute because that's just annoying. It worked for longer than if I didn't use it, but having to reset my whole neighborhood over and…
  • Is there a way that I can uninstall the latest patch without having to completely uninstall my whole game and reinstall it?
  • Please help, it's making it nearly impossible to play the game!
  • I have been having this same exact problem and I thought that maybe it was just because I did have all the expansions installed and maybe too many other programs installed and I thought that I was just out of luck, but I'm glad to see that other people have the same problem and it's not just me. It's really really annoying…
  • I've been able to play the Sims 3 just fine on this computer without any problems right up until pets, and I had every expansion pack minus one or two stuff packs, so I know that it'll run the Sims 3 in general. That being said, is there anything that you guys can help me with getting the game to load past the beginning…
  • And I had taken them all out before and then put them back in. I also had the Sims 3 Pets Demo in and I heard that had been causing some crashing. I uninstalled it when I put the actual version in, but for some reason it is still coming up in the DEP even though the program isn't on the computer anymore. Re-Edit: I'm…
  • This happened to me too! It happened after two of my sims used a Young Again potion, but that's supposed to just reset them back to young adult, not stop aging completely. I unclicked aging on and reclicked it and exited it (but I didn't start the game again) so I hope it worked. I'll update it when I play the game again.
  • Bump. Please help, I can't make any new sims with this problem!
  • Can a mod please delete this? I restarted my computer and the launcher suddenly worked again. I didn't do anything special to it or anything so I don't know why it's working now as opposed to before but I'm not complaining.
  • I have this problem too and I haven't even installed the game yet! I tried to earlier but it froze while trying to "update" my base game so i had to restart my computer and it came up with this when I tried to enter the launcher. I'm using the disks too.
  • 1. Does this happen to all Sims or just some? Just to some, usually they are in the middle of the side bar. (ie, they're usually about 2 sims down from the top) 2. What 'hood? Also, were you in a hood you had been playing prior to the patch? Sunset Valley, yes because I was playing it on a different machine before. 3. Any…
  • One way to get your butler to stop cooking is to make the kitchen in a separate room with doors and then set it to lock "everyone but household." Since the butler isn't technically part of the family, they won't be allowed in the room. The only thing is then you have to bring a plate of food out to them during meal time.
  • Same as MariskaAmy, you can check by checking how many traits they have. If they have 4 they're a teen. If she's also a teen and you still can't get them to be romantically interested in one another, maybe you should try with another girl. If it still doesn't work then maybe you can submit it in the bugs post.
  • The penthouses are usually meant for smaller families. Usually, 3 or 4 sims. And the beginning apartments are usually meant for 1 person because they're supposed to be starters. You upgrade to bigger apartments as your family continues and you get more money. The biggest apartment that I've seen is 6 bedrooms and is a full…
  • Signed! Since I've gotten Late Night I haven't been interested in my non-Bridgeport/non-Famous sims yet, but I can clearly see how this could be a problem if you just wanted to play a normal game. I highly agree with the "Hire an Agent" suggestion. It doesn't even have to cost anything per week (or at all), just makes it a…
  • The only thing that I can think of is that perhaps there is some content that is already install within the version that you bought (which is worth $7) and then you get an extra $10 to spend on whatever you want in the store? It also seems odd that it would be a random number like $17, not $15 or $20...
  • For some reason, the sims seem to need a large amount of space to play a guitar. Try making the room bigger because the sim is taking the guitar to another room because there's not enough space in the room that the jam is taking place. On that note, all of the instruments and sims need to be in the same room to have a jam…
  • I tried using the tool, but it wouldn't work for me. I would download it and try and run it and then it would come up with an error. I just ran the game without CC or mods or anything and it still crashed within about 5 seconds of being in live mode. I would call EA but I don't have time to sit on the phone with them for…
  • I have grown up with the Sims, it came out when I was like 7, and now I'm 17 so it feels like part of my childhood, more so than pokemon ever was. I think I've bought every single expansion pack and I love the game completely. But yeah, the "support" that EA gives us is completely crap. I bought Night Life a week after it…
  • Bump If anybody can help at all, please do!
  • Is EA even working on this issue at all? It shouldn't take over a week to get something like this fixed. :/
