Don't know if it helps, but for anyone who doesn't know, the good folk at MTS have found a way to give any .world file the flag that tells the game that the world is a city not a suburb, thus unlocking some/all of the features (not sure which) that are unique to a city. I've been using the trick with my own CAW worlds and…

Thank you! I will go and try that. :D
-
Post your DX Diag and someone more tech savvy than me will doubtless look at it for you - but the words "new computer" and "game closing down" make me wonder if you're having a problem with DEP and/or large address aware. Both these issues seem to be quite common with machines that look more than capable of running S3…
-
Absolutely, and EA aren't the only culprits by a long, long way. Something else that made me feel nostalgic was when I was shuffling all the .Sims3Pack files around and I realised that, for example, the freebie Renault set from the store would've needed 10 3.5" floppies alone. Remember entire games that came on a single…

The rumour's been around for a while, but it's currently being talked about at MTS. Rmour has it it'll be a standalone EA Sims game (not an expansion), whereas Space Colony was a sort of Sims-like game developed by Firefly who made the Stronghold series. :)

My husband is pretty much indifferent to the Sims. But I always know when he wants to watch something on tv that he knows will bore me senseless because he starts saying things like, "Why don't you go and play your game for a bit...?" - it's a lot funnier in RL than it looks written here, trust me, because he always has…

I uninstalled CAW about a month ago and have just patched S3 and reinstalled CAW (and patched CAW with the old CAW patch). No difference. Still broken. :cry:
-
Regarding the possible flooding of the exchange with Twilight characters, The Sims as a franchise has always had this happen with whatever was wildly popular at the particular time. Once upon a time you couldn't move for Buffy, Spike and Angel Sims and CC (when BTVS was the "in thing"), likewise Harry Potter etc. I'm not a…

These are the people in EA with the real power: http://aboutus.ea.com/executive-sectionofficers.action ...but funnily enough there is no way for us lesser mortals to contact them to ask if they are aware of the rising levels of discontent amongst their customers. Then again, perhaps it's EA's investors who should be…
-
Yeah, I know EA have a bad reputation for customer service, but I was having an optimistic moment of "I'm going to look at this in a balanced way" this morning - trying to stand on some middle ground between EA lovers and EA haters. I've played Sims since the very beginning - I was a longterm Sim City fan who eagerly…

If you don't mind using mods, Twallan's Super Computer provides an "Edit In CAS" option. :)
-
It's for both 32 and 64bit. See: http://www.jaloonz.com/2008/04/enabling-large-address-aware-for-games.html But the only reason to use it is if you are getting crashes to the desktop. I'm running 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate and following the instructions from the above link cured the problem of CTD (after HELS install)…

I was just performing my morning "check to see if there's a patch for CaW yet" ritual, and I was just starting my morning "no, there isn't *sigh*" phase when something very profound and wonderful crossed my mind. You don't think... there's been no quick fix for CaW Beta (which we have now) because EA are on the verge of an…
-
In regards to CaP, this is the common sense view, of course, and as I said in an earlier post, one that many companies are unofficially quite happy to go along with (Disney and some other high profile companies excluded), but it isn't the legal position, and that's what people should bear in mind. Moral issues aside, it's…
-
Depends on the Terms of Use for the particular site.
-
People using CaP could do worse than take a look at this site: http://www.pixelperfectdigital.com/free_stock_photos/ ...which offers free stock photos, including seamless patterns. There's a link on the page to their Terms of Use which very clearly explains what you can and can't do with their stuff. Bottom line is that…

Currently my world Ridgeback with 1551 d/ls and 30 recs. Makes me happy to think people want to try what I do since I really only make stuff for myself and just sometimes put it on the exchange on a whim. (Though CaP has sent me a bit upload mad!) :D (My stuff:…

Just made a new one for the Sim kiddies: Safari For Kids http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2542604 Hope you like! :-) (The rest of mine are here: http://www.thesims3.com/userExchange.html?persona=judithmgalloway&assetType=material.)

Such things are all copyrighted. Some companies are willing to unofficially turn a blind eye (probably, as you say, because it's free advertising), but using copyrighted stuff is still a potential minefield, even if it's non-profit-making, just for fun etc. Ask any Star Trek fan - Paramount used to hound fans mercilessly…
-
Mine are here: http://www.thesims3.com/userExchange.html?persona=judithmgalloway&assetType=material I think I'm starting to get the hang of it now, lol. Enjoy (or not)! :D
-
You could try Paint.Net (it's what I'm using on Win 7 64bit). It's free and allows for 24 and 32 bit .png files. Took me ages to figure out the transparency this morning (I'm not a natural with graphics software), but I managed it in the end. Hope that helps! http://www.getpaint.net/ :)

...Positively my last few for today. Can feel myself getting strangely obsessed with CAP. EA, please, please fix CAW before I pattern myself to death! :shock: Hi-Shine Hammered Steel (shiny!) http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2528846 Hi-Shine Steel Plate (also very shiny!)…

Made a few more since earlier! :-) We Love Pirates http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2524386 Iron Plating http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2525997 Triangle Tiles http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2526159 (I really like this one, so I hope someone else does, too!) I'm really…

This worked for me (if I'm understanding what you're asking!): drop the sticker you want to use into the editing window (try for the centre), then resize it from 58x58 to 256x256. To get it exactly right so there's no sign of tiling, increase the editing window size to maximum (no borders showing) then gently pull the…
-
My first efforts: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2523880 http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2523903 http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2524001 http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2524050 Probably not too great compared to some of the amazing stuff already out…

If you have WA and you don't mind using the buydebug cheat, you can do what I've taken to doing - in my Sims' workshops I always place a dive well, then if/when they catch fire you can just click on the well to get the "Extinguish Self" interaction. Don't think they'll jump in autonomously though. :-)
-
I've made a few small worlds with all empty lots (in standard sizes). Might not be what you need at all, but if you want to take a look: http://www.thesims3.com/userExchange.html?persona=judithmgalloway&assetType=world :D
-
I'm really, really looking forward to the tattoo/tattooist feature in S3:A, but am I the only one who wants Sim tattoos to be either permanent (but can be covered or redesigned) or very costly and/or painful to remove? And before anyone thinks I'm taking some sort of anti-tattoo stance, I have 9 of my own. I just don't…
-
Just caught up with this - sorry I didn't reply earlier. Well, I can certainly have a go at anything you want making - what did you have in mind? :)
-
Really pleased to hear of someone playing one of my worlds for a legacy! Cool! If you want hillier, did you try another of my small worlds: Ridgeback... ...http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=1881410 Unfortunately, I am one of the people hit by the time out when uploading issue, so I have to keep worlds…
Howdy, Stranger!
