Swim?

What is it with poor Koffi: he chooses a job, quits the next day, then another, and when he has tried all of them, starts again.

And are the parents'colour included? I'd like to keep some variety or the neighbourhood will get darker and darker.

Well, I don't have a mac, but the lag has made the game unplayable. Especially when I go to CAS.
I could cry.
Edit: it is not the patch per se, as it works perfectly without the mod folder, with quick saves too.
What to do?

I'd forgotten to replace the videocamera. Thank you.

It won't patch because it found an "invalid file".
I had just changed the sims3.ini, I put back the original, same thing.

Houses disappear. There was a house next door to my family, first the inhabitants disappeared, moved or something, and one day there was just the mailbox left I was playing with no mods at the time, and didn't change house or edit town.

Mine was a corrupt dx....dll in game files/bin. Don't remember much.

I had to save to get into the household, so I can't go back to the last time it worked, as I had played another family.
If I want to start again, I just have to delete what is in saves?
Or I could try to evict them first, and bulldoze.

Since I had an answer, thank you, this lot with my original family of 8 now is bugged again: I can't select a sim on the left, it stays stuck on the same sim, well the first information panel does, I can control the other sim, but I can't see wishes. I can see the other panels, but they are garbled in a medley of information of all the other sims in the familly.
So I can't play. I had problems just entering the lot, awesome didn't work, the left thumbnails kept the family I was coming from, and through edit town, instead of entering a lot, everything disappeared but the neighbourhood picture.
Someone else had the same problem, but nobody answered and she hasn't posted since.

It happened in Sims1 if I remember correctly, and it happened today. I had to hammer the walls down to get rid of the invisible doors, windows and gates.
Only on one lot, though.
Is it a first?
And another bug, one of my sims disappeared from the left menu, poof. He still existed in the relationship panel of his family.
I exited without saving, and lost lots of playing time.

That's probably it, he was a maid. mirror worked, but you have to remember the name and type it flawlessly.

Well shift-click doesn't work for me either now, neither does crtl-click or alt-click to select a sim. I'm missing that feature.
And I have the missing music bug too, I noticed when it came back briefly during another interaction, can't remember what it was.

So do I

Yes, you're right, I found the problem file and deleted it. Good to know, thank you.
Questions: What is the use of the download folder? Is it just so the launcher can see the files it installed?
Where are the files that are installed?

Yes, it must be something I downloaded, but probably something that was badly installed. I don't download from the exchange.
I tried using 3d viewer for the installation, but it keeps sending errors on installation, though last time it installed a few. But where? I deleted what it had not installed, and maybe a few it had from the download folder, are they essential there?
The launcher only shows what it installed, doesn't it?
I solved my problem, sort of, trying to do the 50% method with the files in the package folder, I had 15 of them, those I installed myself are in the patterns folder.
Well it doesn't crash if half is in the package folder, 2 in the probation folder, 6 in the test folder. If I lump them together again, crash.
How is that possible?

You're right, very helpful.
I can't even change style now, if the object I try to change, like a bed, has geometric pattern.
How can I find where the game stores the installed files?
Or alternatively, how can I delete what I downloaded, that is not in mods?

When I try to click on geometric in CAS.
What do I do now?
If it is a simspack problem, where is it, how can I find it?
I downloaded a few, and some where not packages, easy to round up.

It loaded!
I did all of the above, including fiddling with the authorizations at random, and the new one loaded.
So, now, the crashes in game...
Karen, I don't remember the name of the file, and I emptied my bin. I think it had x4.dll in the name. You could look for one like that in game /bin, take it out and see.

Karen, I had the exact same problem, I took out a file from the bin, something x4, thinking it was the framework, ok, so I downloaded the framework again it was ok.
Maybe that file was from one of the installers, or the compressor.
Apart from that, it won't load with the mod.

Won't load, I get busy only.

Did that too.
Edit: it's the framework.
I'm cursed!

No, I can't put the mod in the game or it won't load. And the others are in the Mod folder. nozzz nointro and nomosaic.

Everything was working fine, and today I tried to install the nomosaic package instead of the old censor pack. So I deleted the shaders precomp in bin and replaced it by the old one, and now everything green, the neighborhood screen, the gardens, is either red, or black. Inside is fine. Cas is fine.
I reinstalled my game, reloaded patched razor patched, keeping my households, and it is the same, even entering Riverview for the first time.
I'd be grateful for any ideas.

My reloaded had my 1680/1050 resolution.
