  • Bella is a child in sunset valley, but in lunar valley she is an adult. So the game really jumps around. well wait a minute. I haven't resurrected her yet. I'm assuming she is an adult because that's what Sim Lore implied in one of their vids.
  • only thing I didn't try @jaletu2005 , thank you!! After about a week, I was able to download as normal. But a few days ago, the inability to download started again. But it only lasted for one night. Who knows. I've just been gradually adding in all the Store stuff, almost done. And figured I'd make a backup after that.…
  • oh wow @texansky so cool that you did that!! So I would either put playable sims on the edge of the map (cos I just teleport them everywhere) or maybe Work From Home sims, or maybe the "background townies" -- sims that aren't played but just there to add life to the town. Isn't it neat to learn all the unique things about…
  • yaaay, glad you did; although, sorry you were having problems with your disks. I have been enjoying playing with limited content, as a way to focus on things I ignored the first go-round. And, re-doing the lots and towns, you will probably make things even better, since you had the opportunity to play with recently tweaked…
  • hello @ts1depot nice to see you! :) I thought you'd posted in the mega chat thread but then couldn't find your post again. What a lovely sig! I checked out all those worlds and definitely will be downloading Riverside AND sim acres after I get more eps installed. :) They had me at "you need a big pc to run these"…
  • hi Bklienhart, thank you for responding! yep, downloading from purchase history is what I've been doing, with no luck. Gave up and haven't played. Had a half hour before I needed to leave for an appointment, so thought I'd try again. Still didn't work. Was told "you don't own Riverview". lol After that, I googled "EA sims3…
  • I am on steam and the old Origin launcher. Yesterday and today i can't download anything from the Store. Even tried a different browser. It keeps asking me to log in, and I know the info is correct because I copy and paste. But it doesn't like that and just keeps asking me to log in. I can't remember how to submit a bug…
  • okay I found one, that was quick! :) I didn't know dogs could sleep on the couch. Wish I'd known that before I bought them all beds.
  • Neato! @Turjan and @Cororon never heard of this tradition before so had to google. Might have to incorporate that into my witchy game, after installing SN. Seriously very interesting as Blåkulla seems to resemble our american Halloween much more than our Easter. I've heard that Roman Catholics, in the early days of…
  • you guys are cracking me up lol I haven't played since the last Store set was released and even I knew that! *poke* :smile: :) :) But, I'm sure there are things that I am equally unaware of, so we're equal :smiley: This game is layered like an onion, as soon as we think we've got it all figured out, we uncover new things…
  • whoa. yay. Favorited so I can snag it right after installing ITF :p Thank you @Karritz !!
  • @thank you for the info @Emily4331 haha I was afraid of that, oh well. Btw, not sure if this is applicable to you so disregard if not but... for years I've assumed that I would get dementia some day, my memory is like swiss cheese, very much the foggy bottom of which you speak. But then I discovered B1, the vitamin. It has…
  • hey @Evalen if you are thinking about switching to steam then check out their Collection Bundle. It contains EVERYTHING except Store items, and the Katie Perry sweet treat stuff pack. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/1247/The_Sims_3_Collection/ I guess it went on sale once or twice, but the last time was over a year…
  • neato @texansky !! LOVE that you have a mobile home court! I always like a variety of different types of sims, so a poor neighborhood is very welcome. Seriously nice touch that you put that in there. Also looks like you have a good downtown area, with lots of buildings close to each other. That's so important, glad you did…
  • Large, lol with lots of room for different types of neighborhoods. It also needs the roads and lots to be set up like a real town, with enough houses and businesses congregated close to each other. The island worlds are lovely but EVERYTHING is so spread out, the townie sims would take forever to arrive at the community…
  • okay so I'm on page 7 :D :D :D :D but got so excited lol @emorrill it never occurred to me to use a knitted pattern on the leggings. You made such a cute outfit!! :) Also, is anyone here willing to fix patterns? There are a few totally awesome ones in my Favorites but when clicking the download button, I'm just taken to…
  • @Karritz and @dothesmustle thank you both! I will try again using your suggestions. I remember trying some of those (probably wrong combination) and still not getting anything to move. Will try again, thank you!!
  • Hello! I recently returned and found a channel on YouTube called Sim Lore. It's seriously good. Whoa the devs got seriously in-depth and devious with their back stories! How could I have ever missed that, really glad I found that channel. https://www.youtube.com/@TheSimsLore
  • whoa @Karritz you just changed my mind about installing ITF. I wasn't going to, really dislike almost everything about that ep. But will now, cos your pictures are AMAZING and I love them and whoa, need. You did a seriously nice job!! Thank you for posting those! um. @Karritz cough. :smile: could you upload your gondala…
  • Actually, to amend my earlier comment, even tho I was getting the error message, the launcher downloaded and installed everything. I have steam, and was told (not sure if it's true or not) that steam will always use the old familiar launcher that the game used from the beginning (not the EA app).
  • Aging is completely off in my game. I mostly play... idk, a bunch of different families, age them up sorta close together in batches, and will also briefly pop into the "background townies" to give them things for their babies or whatever. Currently, all story progression is turned off because.... things seem to be…
  • hello all! Really nice to see everyone's updates! I have not had time to play lately but hopefully today I can get some time in. @GraceyManor whoa those are some seriously nice pics, especially the first one. Very impressive vantage point, the sky looks so real and looking out the windshield just makes everything look so…
  • Gosh that's a hard question. Love the goths because they seem just so iconic, like celebrities. I never play them, just let them do their thing in the background of my town. So I see them afar and never interfere, like you would with a real celebrity. I loved Mrs. Crumplebottom in sims1 when she would go around slapping…
  • yea I do, and so far am loving it. Downloading etc or doing anything is same as I remember from years ago. One of the very helpful people over there, who seem to know a ton about fixing glitches, said that the steam version would not switch to the EA app but would instead, continue to use the launcher. I hope so.
  • yesterday while trying to download some patterns from my "favorites", I kept getting an error, something about "this can't be downloaded, check your log". However, either some of the items did get installed or (maybe?) I'd already installed it and forgotten. But honestly, pretty sure it was my first time trying to…
  • Thank you so much for that. I remember her fondly, and now with sadness.
  • I need both, a color wheel AND open world. Sims4 looks great but.... I already played sims1 and 2. Seriously, that's what it feels like. A million recolors and loading screens? Count me out.
  • wow, I think Writin_Reg passed on, not sure when. She was super nice, how sad. She was truly an amazing person and helped so many people. In her spare time, she was a tester for worlds and incredibly thorough. She would also emphasized how to keep good hygiene for the long lasting health of our save files, lol I…
  • hello all! Nice to see everyone. @ButterWafflesAR yep that's the one. I was told to avoid taking any free vacation because it's glitched, your sim is very likely to not make it back safely. a brief update :smiley: I took yet another look at Derielle Country (it is a greatly enlarged twinbrooks plus it is enabled for…
  • oh good I wasn't sure if it was okay if I ASKED for a tip instead of offering one! How do you rotate a floor tile? I forgot how to do that...
