  • Hello Mac simmers, Long time no speak! Just dropped by to see how everyone was getting on with their games in El Capitan. I updated my iMac to El Capitan a few weeks ago and it went really well - my game worked first time (which I was not expecting after seeing that others were having trouble) without having to move the…
  • I still love playing TS3 on my iMac. As long as I purge the memory frequently, which takes about two seconds each time, I find it stress and hassle free. It helps that I don't use much CC and don't use CAS very often. Build and Live mode work a lot better than CAS.
  • It's terrific. I haven't found any problems. Just wish I had more time to play!
  • Yeah, that BluebellFlora, she really clutters up my download folder ;) ChemicalWibs also has terrific residential and community lots if you are in a bit of an Exchange frenzy. I particularly enjoy her libraries B)
  • I really like Yoteamo's community lots - she doesn't seem to be around anymore or maybe she got TS4.
  • Aw! <3 Very sweet!
  • Aw, it's so great seeing everyone's different approach to iWorld :)
  • Fab, I shall download my very own Tremayne :) I think we need an @igazor .....
  • New Exchange link below. We'll see how long I last this time :) http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8648303 I also need to DL the rest of you and then we wait the arrival of Tremayne ;)
  • I do still have the file, no worries. I could try uploading again or if you were happy to message me an email address I can send it to you direct. Whichever you prefer. It will be good to have everyone's sims for iWorld :)
  • Your link is fine Ashpeef, don't worry. My link doesn't work now as EA deleted my sim from the Exchange.
  • Hard to say. Post your specs as requested and Tremayne might be able to advise further. Conduct some research on how to get the game to work on Mac OS X and exhaust all avenues- the main help thread has lots of tips and links to guides that have helped numerous Mac simmers get their games working. If all else fails and you…
  • Aw, it's such a nice little world. I didn't have time this afternoon to build any new properties so I chucked in a bunch of ready-made ones. Here I am in my beach house. Oh yeah! B) So nice to live on the beach. I can just stroll out and walk into the sea at any moment! BluebellFlora is going to live in Gardener's Lodge…
  • After a brief battle with the launcher, I won! Lovely iWord and Newton Park should now be available in my game. I just need to wait for the coffee pot and get a little slice of parkin and then I will go check it out. <3
  • Hooray - I have downloaded iWorld! If only it could be installed with that bloomin' launcher eh! Thanks BluebellFlora for this - it's going to be fun!
  • I think some people manage to play on a MB Air but not with a full set of EPs and probably not very satisfactorily. Rainbowbear might have a chance with just the starter pack but it's going to be harder work than on a Macbook or iMac. I've seen people report being able to play the base game or one or two EPs on an Air…
  • Yay! I am so looking forward to trying it out! <3
  • I've come across this before at HQ - players getting the Disc Authentication error even though they'd never had a disc and only used digital downloads. Sometimes it seemed to be because the wrong patch has been applied but in other cases it was completely inexplicable and only seemed to be fixable by contacting EA customer…
  • When you say that nothing else happens after you have seen the screen with the green diamond, does the game crash to desktop? If you can open the launcher does it all look as expected - for example is the game patched up-to-date and are all of the expansion you installed highlighted in the row along the bottom?
  • That error with the code having already been used is very common. Usually it's fixable - it's just a question of customer services checking your account and either unlocking the code or else giving you a new one. I'm not sure why the person you reached on the Chat did not suggest that, but perhaps they misunderstood the…
  • Did you install the game from the disc or did you use the code to access the digital version through Origin? If the Island Paradise icon is not highlighted in the row along the bottom of the launcher window then the expansion has not installed properly. Check in Applications/The Sims 3 - is there a shortcut for Island…
  • Graphics glitches can occur for various reasons, including: your Mac having a graphics card that is not supported (which one do you have?); the game chewing through RAM at an extraordinary rate, particularly while you are using CAS, which eventually can cause weird colourations and/or crashing (reset your RAM manually to…
  • Please do have a go - it would be great to have a Tremayne to live in the Apple world! I already have a BluebellFlora but the more the merrier - safety in numbers! My sim is here if anyone needs a sleepy science geek with a love of pancakes: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8648303 No CC but some Store…
  • This bug happened to quite a lot of people's sims after Generations came out. Is your game patched up to date? I did a quick google of the bug and found that some people got aging working again by moving the age sliders around and then exiting the game and restarting. Or try moving the household out of their house and back…
  • Now that is useful info. But customer services can fix it, by the sound of things, so that's good news.
  • I might make a sim especially to live in this world and call her Siri :)
  • Ah, the beach! That's where I'm living - right there, I tell ya! B)
  • You may also want to read this thread if your Macbook as one of the Iris graphics cards, as this may cause additional difficulties as the cards are not supported for the game: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/735231/intel-iris-pro-graphics-cards-please-post-here-if-you-have-a-macbook-with-intel-iris-pro-card/p1
  • What were the glitches that you were experiencing? Do you mean problems in Isla Paradiso, the world that shipped with Island Paradise? It is quite a laggy world but there are some things you can do to improve that: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2014/02/lags-in-islo-paradiso.html Regarding your IP disc woes, the advice above…
