I have this exact same issue, have you found the cause of it? Does this happen to every single sim you play or just select ones?

This pleases for now. Moo.

Nope. WTF? All that does is increase the energy gain. It says specifically that it does nothing about the crappy bed moodlet.

Unacceptable. Where's the hack that fixes it. WANT!

This bed is supposed to be comfort 8 stress relief 3, yet it gives the cheap bed moodlet. WTF?

You're not alone in this, and your problem probably isn't fixed forever. I keep having this problem too. My plants get stuck exactly like you described. There is no option on the plants to tend, water, or fertilize and they never progress. I've found I can plant new seeds after this happens to my garden and those will grow for a few cycles and then quit. I've trashed this particular family's garden four times and started over. First I thought it was my mods. I took them out. Then I thought it was the fact that I kept changing the length of the life cycle in options right before the garden froze, so I started over and quit doing that. After that I made a new town and those plants froze after a while too.

I have no idea what is really causing it to happen. Has anyone who has had this problem and solved it figured it out?

I did this and not only did it restore Riverview to my dropdown list of towns I could create, but it restored a saved game that I have been unable to play since the patch.

Do you need a new crack after you patch your arr'd WA? I finally got both games patched but still can't load the game. When I use the original TS3EP01 of course I get the can't authenticate error. I grabbed the cracked one from the crack directory of the reloaded wa torrent and stuck it in in there and now I get a can't load error and the game won't even start up.

I'm sick of fail... help?

I would guess you are right since I left in the crack, I assume the base game patched and WA did not. However there launcher has nothing for me to download now. Do you know where I can get the patch manually?

I have a retail copy of the Base game, and the reloaded version of WA. After the patch it now tells me that my base game and expansion are incompatible and to please patch. However the launcher says that my game is up to date.  Here's the game version it shows in launcher: 2.3.33.003002

WTF?

** I did something stupid. I left the cracked exe in instead of putting in the .bk

Well that makes it okay then! YAYAYAY!

So could we please come up with a list of all clothes that can be used as maternity? It would be nice to know what my options are so I can pick appropriate clothes beforehand.

Are these the only choices?

Tops:
Short sleeve Tee over long sleeve shirt.
That fitted sport coat type thing.
Track suit top.

Pants:
Sweat pants
Skinny jeans

Outfit:
Spaghetti strap nightgown

Yes and it's fun too.

Have you tried shoving the watermelons up your twat?

You're an idiot. There, now you're better informed.

Yes, but I know it sure isn't relevant. By the way, I love Rick Astley, so I don't really care about being rickrolled.

If you want me to click it, you'll have to at least attempt to hide the URL.

And spoil everyone's fun of yelling at me? NEVER!

I saw that post. That is HARDLY confirmation. "I think" is not what I was looking for, but someone who actually knows what it does because they have looked at the code or tested it and can offer an explanation.

I searched a lot actually. If you want to link me to something go ahead.

Well that's just about one of the dumbest thing I've learned today. So its no damn use at all then.

Yes, I searched. I only found people complaining that they don't know what it does. So what does it do? It doesn't seem to raise quality like it did in Sims 2.

Excellent, I would never have figured that out.

I have no options on the durned thing besides tinkering and upgrading, and they don't use it passively either. What is the use of this thing?

Since you asked so nicely... I am not a teacher. I know teachers, live with teachers, and I volunteer with teachers. The reason I have not been fired, is simply because they are grateful to have a little help, despite the fact that there is too much work for me to finish. My job includes grading mountains of papers for very overworked teachers. I see what they are up against with the enormous class sizes my teachers are saddled with now.  By the way a teacher's job description does not include any specific way they must grade papers. Their job is to teach, and most of them do the best they can with what they have.  In our current economic situation, teachers are not even allowed to make photo copies anymore (in my district) much less given any other type of supplies. Everything comes out of their pocket. They receive very little respect, no understanding, and far too much abuse. What I have seen has caused me to change my career choices completely, because there is no way I want to mess with any of that. The last thing I want is to spend all day trying to teach today's horrible children, just to have them mock you, destroy your materials, and then have their equally nasty parents come and scream at you for their own failures.

Why am I bitching? I wasn't bitching before, but now I am! The reason I replied is because I felt your comment showed the typical amount of ignorance of what it actually means to try to do this job, and I'm confident that I am right. I'd like to see what you look like after just one year of trying to keep 200 teenagers alive, much less teach them something that they don't want to learn.
