  • Thanks for the reply! She does get the performance increase when the notice pops up, asking if i want to send her to work or work from home for the next shift. But she only gets the increase if I send her to work. If she works from home, she gets no job performance increase and gets only $10 pay when that notice appears. I…
  • Ok I did everything suggested. I even installed nraas error trap mod so see if that could help. I started up the game and played for about 20 minutes. My sim was at a community lot and crash to desktop. I checked the file created by the error log mod. It said.... [Exception info] date: 2021-03-08 time: 01.18.43 type:…
  • Thanks for all the tips! I really appreciate it. I only have 1 other game installed, but it isn't anything graphic intensive. The game isn't crashing at all. For the sims 3, I tested in mostly riverview and in twinbrook. I did test the fps with fps on. The game was staying within my monitor's range. Thanks for the tip…
  • Thanks for the reply. As far as the graphics card.... I tried the method of getting my graphics card recognized because of the crashing. Many people with windows 10 have said that it has stopped their games from crashing. Sadly my game still is. I tried a repair of the game. That did not work. I uninstalled the game and…
  • I just ordered my copy from target's website this morning. I just checked and it is still in stock and free 2 day shipping. Amazon did price match it as well, but it looks like amazon sold out within the last hour.
  • oh cool, glad someone was able to make use of the sale :D
  • I have been getting it to. It started today. I am using chrome and it keeps happening when I try to visit these forums.
  • Target currently has some of the sims 4 games and bundles on sale. The website says they are 50% off. It is only expansion packs and bundles. But if you are looking for older packs, you might want to check it target's website. I really am just getting back into playing after a few years of not being able to. My hands…
  • Ok I just changed it back to my original password from last year. Now it works. I don't understand why. I deleted all the folders, cleared out caches in chrome and IE, Reset IE, and deleted the file from the downloads folder. Somehow there must be some hidden file that just didn't get cleared out? I guess I can never…
  • Yeah I did all of that, but thanks! Maybe I should reset my password again?
  • Thank you for the reply. I was playing in Island Paradiso. Eek at it being problematic. It looked so pretty. I did just google and found a fixed recommended version at mts. So I will download that later. I won't be able to play or test any saves for the next few days, since I am not at home right now. But my next available…
  • Thank you so much for the reply! Now I can finish building a few lots and my town will be good to go. :) Have a great weekend!
  • Great idea! Thank you so much for that tip. I will do that :)
  • I wish I could play for long periods of time. But due to my health, I can only play for 45 minutes to an hour at a time. Before I lost my sight for a while, I used to pause the game and come back a few hours later and continue playing. I plan to do that again. I hate loading the game.
  • Thanks for that! I do have an NVidia card but I can look up now to limit the frame rate. Sadly when I opened origin, it said it needed to be updated. I updated origin ( I hate the new version! ugh ). It set itself to auto update. So now my sims 3 and my sims 4 are both current. My sims 3 is 1.69 so the shortcut doesn't…
  • That is my problem with the launcher. I own so much store stuff, that it takes forever to load. I don't mind loading origin at all. I just hate that launcher. Oh well, small price to pay to play my game again. Thank you all for your replies and tips!
  • Looks like we posted at the same time. Thanks Trey for the reply! I will check out those mods. Thanks Suzses for all that info! I will definitely look up how to roll back that update. I use stuff from all expansion packs and store items. So that new feature isn't needed for me either.
  • Thank you so much for the reply! So since my game is updated to the latest patch, I need to launch origin and then click on play the sims 3? I have all EPs and Stuff packs. I do have the last video drivers for my video card too. I did make 2 back up copies of my entire sims 3 folder, just incase I mess something up. So I…
  • I wish more of the "haters" would have taken time to watch the live broadcasts, followed on facebook, read the twitter posts, and read the interviews with the Devs. They would have seen that no where did the devs say that pools, careers, ghosts, toddlers, and other things would not be added to the game. They said that…
  • Have EA given a close date or mentioned anything about when it will shut down? I know that this daily deal list is the final list. But I haven't heard anything about the store closing. So I am just wondering if I missed it.
  • I just got that a few seconds ago. I was like huh? So I came here to see if anyone else got it. Glad to know It wasn't just me who had that odd message.
  • I like that 5 star ad too. It always works and the dog is cute :D
  • For the past 2 days, nearly every ad is that blank white square ad. There is no way to play it. So I have to refresh the page each time to get rid of it. It is rather annoying. Especially since it seems to count against you with the ads. Like some kind of limit or something.
  • Sorry you didn't like the sims 4. At least you can still find some fun in the sims 3. I personally love the sims 4 but I don't plan to give up the sims 3 or the sims 1 or 2 any time soon. All versions are different enough for me to play and not feel like I am repeating the same things over and over. :D
  • It isn't fair to compare the sims 4 with all other completed versions. But base game to base game.... the sims 4 feels like it has the most to do. It has more interactive objects and goals. The sims 2 would be my next favorite base game. Then sims 1 and finally the sims 3. The sims 3 base game was fun, but it was lacking…
  • I purchased the premium edition. But I waited to preorder it til I saw a sale/special promo. So for me, the game was only $42 and I also got a $10 gift card towards a future purchase. So for me, I am extremely happy with the game and my purchase. Even if I had paid full price, I would be happy with it. I look at it like…
  • How can people who have never played the game-claim to be an expert and hate on it? How much time have they given the game? It is ok to hate on a game and give it a negative review- having never touched it? But when you praise it- you are told that you need to give it more time. That you don't know you like it and…
  • All of those missing items take time and effort. Coding takes time. Coding takes people. People must be paid. They can't just work on a game for years with no profit. That is why they release base games and then expansions and stuff packs. Sales mean money. Money means jobs and work for people. Which means more content for…
  • Love the pictures! Thanks for sharing the review with us :D
  • So many people complain about the loading screens. Yet it takes my sims 3 sims longer to drive somewhere, then the sims 4 loading screens take. I don't mind the loading screens at all.
