  • I went into EB games one day way back when...no idea why, I never shopped in there until Sims...it must have been fate. So I browsed, saw the original game on the shelf and examined the package and though it was so cool. Left without buying it but went home and couldn't stop thinking about it. Talked my mom's ear off about…
  • Oh man...now I have such a craving for sushi. I have to say-this saddens me! I could never make my sims self now! Hehe...I am a vegetarian and this is probably my favourite food. For those who were unsure of what "vegetarian" sushi is, you can get pretty much anything is sushi these days. May not be authentic Japanese, I…
  • Thank you! I better start using my simpoints-I was saving them because I didn't want to spend them before I knew what I wanted, and I was worried that these items will show up in the first expansion pack anyway...but oh well, they are free anyways! Just have to plan carefully on what I want to buy!
  • I have this problem a lot and even if they come over, they often refuse woohoo("In too bad a mood"-almost always the men too, go figure!) Certainly distrupts plot lines...I have noticed though, if you go out and tour city hall or the theatre or something, they never turn down woohoo there. I do that for many of my couples…
  • I've noticed this "burn something nearby" option. In riverview, George Dean had kids with Meadow Carpenter-Rhodes and they all seem to have this option(well, atleast several of them). I think George does too. I assumed the pyro trait would appear in their trait list, but they all have 5 other traits. Very strange....Bennie…
  • I received this advice about deleting the backup and renaming the backup without that in the name and it worked for me. Good luck!
  • I'm trying to avoid the money cheat too-which I was bad about in sims 2. My best money making tip is when moving sims in to use the edit town tool. I noticed if you invite them to move in, they only seemed to bring their cash, but if you do the otherway you get all the cash from the value of their home and furniture as…
  • Well, I tried moving the saves out and putting them back and that didn't help. I guess I could try the whole EA file, but not sure that would help. I've definitely backed everything up now...but that does me no good if I can't save...and my last save before that was a long sim-time ago. Plus I'm worried this will happen…
  • Just had a thought...if it does have something to do with CPU usage, I remember in sims 2 I learned a way to go into the task manager and end a bunch of the useless processes while playing. Would this maybe help if it's already using less before I play? I might try that tonight...but I remember there were 2 files you…
  • I think that carpool thing happens to everyone. Not sure why...might get fixed with a patch eventually? As for the couple, you have to get them in the romantic mood-they are fickle creatures. Do romantic interactions over and over again(avoid others) and eventually propose go steady should pop up. Do it as soon as you see…
  • Alright. Here's what I tried. I went into that saves file and saw there was a version on my Sunset Valley that instead of being called backup was called Sunset Valley Bad, and said "bad file" underneath....I may not speak computer, but I'm pretty sure that's not a good thing. So, first I tried deleting that and trying to…
  • The judges chambers are in city hall. Take a tour with whoever and the option to woohoo or makeout in the judges chambers comes up. Sometimes they get caught and run out naked! Hehe.
  • I'm not sure if this interests you, but I have been looking for more modestly-priced homes. Preferably $30 000-$40 000 with 3-4 bedrooms, 1.5 to 2 baths(impossible? not sure). Small bedrooms are fine with me. Something practical for families without loads of money.
  • When I used a coupon, it showed the coupon icon beside the item with the sale price(in the list of all the items) and I just added it to my list. When I bought them, the coupons disappeared.
  • For the record, when this happened to my couples they option was always there and they would find each other irresistable....but still wouldn't! I tell you, sims have a mind of there own. Oddly, it's often my men who refuse! Hehe....
  • My only set of triplets, both parents had the fertility reward, plus mom spent the whole pregnacy watch kids tv and listing to kids music. It was a lot of work, but I got the triplets. I then promptly left...hehe...didn't want to deal with the caoticness! I did come back when they were tots to train them...and it wasn't as…
  • You can't be playing the house at the time. Sometimes I purposely leave the house if I want to see what name it will give them. I've gotten some great ones.
  • I've had this problem a lot. They have woohoo'd before, but for some reason suddenly don't want to. Nothing to do with their physical mood either-I've had totally red energy sims woohoo(does anyone else love how they'll run on empty much more than before? Very few passing outs), and perfectly green sim couples refuse. No…
  • Mine woohoo in the judges chambers all the time...I had a young adult couple who both still lived and home and couldn't get any privacy...seriously, they kept getting interrupted or someone would sleep in the only double bed. Finally went to tour city hall...hehe. Is there anywhere else they can go though? I haven't tried.
  • I've been really happy with the names I've gotten lately. I had names picked out but when I saw the one's they picked, I've kept them. For example: Nicola (planned for Autumn, but I loved this one) Glen (NEVER would have chose but it seemed perfect for the parents) My favourites were from my family of Noah and Lilah…
  • I'll definitely try those when I get home tonight (sadly, 6 hours from now). Worth a shot...I'm not feeling too confident though.
  • I'm having error 12 and have yet to hear a solution from anyone for these issues-so I guess this isn't a very common problem/no one has found a fix. My families hadn't had babies. I would barely do anything and try and save, and it wouldn't work. Tried leaving game and restarting and such-no help. No longer playable if I…
  • Mine continues to have this problem, to the point where I can no longer play because it doesn't save(and what's the point?!) I'm really disappointed...I had last set aside to play, and then I couldn't because of this issue...and it seems no one has a solution for this. Strange that it would work so long and then suddenly…
  • I'm getting error code 12! Same as you, no problems and now this. It is basically unplayable if you can't saved. I'm pretty annoyed as well...I'm guessing no one has a solution for this.... Anyone??
  • Oh no!!!! That's much worse than what happened to me-I'm getting nervous! I tried leaving and coming back...it let me save a few times and now it's doing it again, after I make any real progress. Does anyone have a solution? The came is pretty much unplayable like this...so annoying that I'd had no problems and suddenly…
  • p.s: I'm crazy excited I inspired another post! Hehe...had never happened before! I know what you mean about hidden 50 pages back in 5 minutes! But really-before this is burried-how do you pay the money back??
  • Hmmm---I like the way you think :p Very logical! I don't know what you mean by "family funds" though-how do you pay it back?
  • I'm trying not to cheat this time around, because I wanted to challenge myself more, but I don't think it's "bad". If that's what you want to do, then do it. Cheating is just a word!
  • I think he looks way better :) I saw him in a sims relationship panel for the first time and thought "whose that cute guy?" hoping she found marriage potential. Sad to see though because I wanted to avoid more goth's in my game.
