  • Started a brand new game with my original family from the library with a blank slate - no memories, no skills, no LTRs, etc. Was able to save once, did a couple of Outfit changes and skill changes (Using Nraas Master Controller) then tried to save and BOOM! Error 12 and crash. The game file was only around 50 MB. I tried…
  • NRass mods - absolutely. Wouldn't run Sims without them. And I did do a reset everything - it didn't help. Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Had not considered the fps rate, you might have to give me a little more detail here. I have been contemplating transporting the household to a new game, I was just hoping to…
  • That did the trick! Once again, the Bartlets owe their virtual lives to Igazor.
  • Yup, it was all from discs, those quaint old-fashioned thingies. Will try super patcher and see what happens.
  • You're having a nice, friendly chat with your spouse/friend/relative when all of a sudden said spouse/friend/relative berates you for being ignorant. (Huh? What'd I say?) You're hungry and have a plate of food in your hands then you put it on the floor and moan that you're hungry. You hardly notice when a spacecraft lands…
  • Been doing that and getting a lot of good ideas. But the computer shop says I'll need a rebuild from old parts since Win 7 is no longer supported; not ready to move up to Win 10 yet - but that's a whole other thread. Been going on YouTube and looking at various Sims videos to keep me sated while I patiently/impatiently…
  • My graphics card blew up two weeks ago and took out the motherboard with it, so I've been stuck on this old little laptop which can't handle Sims3 at all. Two weeks without my Sims and at a pivotal point in my 16th century legacy. Two weeks without Sims - TwO wEeKs - t-t-t-ttwoo weeekkkss!!! What's a Sims3 addict to do???
  • Technically not really "funny," but I just love the icy stare of my evil Sim:
  • OWWWW!!! That hurts!!!
  • Sybil is such an amazing mother she carries her baby with just the power of her mind...
  • Ahh, well - I'm just predicting the announcement for Sims 5/3 in two years. (note careful weaseling out of that one) The actual release date may be your prediction of March 2020. So maybe we'll both be right. Oh, and any other Simmers who care to make their predictions on Sims 5/3 feel free...
  • I still think that they will make a 64 Bit version of Sims 3, tweek something here and there, break something else here and there and then hold a big conference announcing the debut of The Sims 5. It'll be colossal! But they have to milk Sims 4 until it's dry first, which shouldn't be too long now. If we go by history,…
  • This situation has happened before - you try to log in to the launcher, you know you typed your password correctly but it keeps telling you it's wrong. I've been playing for five years and I've seen it happen about once a year for reasons which have yet to be explained. We just have to sit and wait about two or three days…
  • Simulated life had apparently become so intolerable that this Sim decided to impale herself on an iron fence post: This toddler needed a diaper change so bad he hit the ceiling:
  • Newly resurrected Zombie tries to scare the vampire, but the vampire laughed in his face. So the Zombie needed a stiff drink. Which didn't sit too well. Vampires shouldn't let Zombies drink...
  • Upload the house? That could be a problem as it's humungous and would probably choke most Simmers computers. It even causes mine to cough and sputter sometimes. Unless that's the problem....
  • No public markers on the lot that I'm aware of, but an interesting point about the elevator alignment between floors: Yes, the first floor door is facing a different direction from the 2nd and 3rd floors, but I've done this before and had no problems. Also in doing some searching through the forums, I came across a post…
  • I'm just trying to modify Twinbrook to look like an 18th century world. Found it easy to delete items like water towers and chainlink fences, but I can't seem to figure out how to replace the modern-looking bridges with old-fashioned ones. I can delete the bridge but can't seem to put another one in its place. If I could…
  • Started my legacy in Twinbrook in the year 1684 and have slogged up through the 1970's. Almost at the 1980's. Just 36 more years and one more generation to go! In real time, it's taken me two years. Tried to make my Sims in each time period look the part, but didn't always work out. Victorian era was the worst. And those…
  • Looks like at some point the Rackett family became involved. They have very "distinct" features.
  • I just can't resist throwing my two Simoleons in regarding this topic... I would pay $1000 for a new Sims game that fixes the all the bugs with Sims 3, runs on a 64 bit platform, and takes all the EPs we've seen and takes off from there with all new EPs. Sims in space is one idea; lots big enough to build Buckingham…
  • I was looking to buy Roaring Heights. Like I said, it's been a while...
  • I don't typically post recommendations for stuff (unless it's free), but for a reasonable amount of money, I've found Roots Magic to be the best for family tree making. It's very user friendly and definitely helped me keep track of over ten generations of Bartlets. Plus, since a few of my legacy family members have become…
  • Strange. I'm on a tenth generation legacy and after over 800 Sim days, all the ghosts from the previous gens still roam the cemetery. They must have changed the bit about "going to the Netherworld" or whatever it's called.
  • If I haven't put in at least three hours a day, I consider it non-productive. Five or six would be considered adequate. Eight is ideal. Ten might be over-doing it. (might) In four + years, I'd estimate about 7,000 hours. Let's just say I've never put in this much effort at an actual paying job, which could explain why I…
  • I think that's the way it should be (seeing as they're dead, they should no longer age), but I've noticed it's not always the way it is. I've seen several non-playable ghosts in the cemetery who died as Young Adults and then they aged up to Elders as ghosts. Also on several I got the warning about living elders that…
  • From the moment I started playing Sims 3 (about four years ago now), I was hooked. I abandoned my other games and just dove into Sims 3; loved everything about it. My only wish for any new version was for something less buggy, more stable, and the ability to do more things - in other words - a logical progression forward,…
  • Well now you know you're not the only one - and so do I. :smile: I started playing four years ago with my created family, the Bartlets, in Sunset Valley. They ran about five generations then I decided it might be cool to look into their past, say about ten generations before my first game in SV. I chose Twinbrook as the…
  • Let's complicate matters a bit - do dead Sims count as part of the population? I'm on a Generation 9 legacy and I have a lot of deceased ancestors. Most are in the family cemetery, but some are hanging around the house. Anyway, there are a lot of ghosts in my game and I would expect they count as part of the population,…
  • Must have something to do with the number of Sims at the lot for the wedding which causes the loop. I usually have around 20-25 Sims on the lot, and the most that got looped is two. If you had over 60 Sims and 4-5 got looped, then maybe there's a numerical ratio/causality (my brand new scientific term). In other words, the…
