I don't care if they take them down or not. What surprised me is that they uploaded the exact same set. What's the fucking point? I too thought they were going to add more stuff to the sets and then upload them with each holiday. This doesn't seem to be the case.  Hence I was wondering if they added coding of some sort. Like I said, trying to understand EA's logic will screw up your brain.

Actually some of the old Halloween sets were already re-released? So basically they took them away just so it seems they are giving us free items for each holiday? As far as I can tell the sets are exactly the same.  I'm done trying to get Ea "logic", my brain will probably start hemorrhaging.

ETA: Maybe they added coding to the items so they'll work with the festivals?

Both the simpoint bundle and the retreat have already been released. I'm pretty sure that some of the hairs are old ones from previous Store sets.

I can't believe they didn't make a bar stool for the MCM set.

If you saved your game during a full moon you're screwed. It's a known that glitch that causes zombies to spawn left and right even when it's not a full moon. There's not really a way to fix it. You can consider that save FUBAR and start over with a new save. Be sure not to save during a full moon.

Well I tested the laundry thing with another household and she won't do the laundry. She also still doesn't "cook".

Here are the missing items from the mystery bag:

If it's your first time buying a bundle, keep in my mind that you are likely to get an item we already have. The three objects listed as "unknown" could possibly be attained by any of the bundles. I think the chances of getting them from the cheap bundles is low though since many people got the crate and then started getting badges.

Baaaa KT. My Bonehilda coffin is placed outside the house. My sims live in a two story house without a basement and she cleans and repairs everything immediately. She's especially useful since my sim don't shoo her away when they use the bathroom and toilet when she's in the same room. It doesn't matter how hungry my sims are, she never cooks nor put out plates of food for them. The family doesn't have any pets nor babies and toddlers so I haven't experienced the cuddle and train to death annoyances.

If you'd be so kind or anybody else willing to do it for that matter, here's how I think she ought to be tweaked.
1. Let her keep on taking care of the pets and little ones but tone it down as not to love 'em to death
2. She waters the plants only when they actually need watering
3. She cooks only when the sim's hunger bar is really low
4. She doesn't cook if there are leftovers in the fridge
5. She cleans the fishing tanks and feeds the fish
6. She cleans terrariums and bird cages and feeds the pets
7. She does the laundry

I don't have any laundry items in the household so I'm going by complaints posted over at MTS. In many, many ways Bonehilda is a lot more useful than the butler and she takes less space. I think with a few tweaks she'll be the perfect housekeeper. So far, I'm very pleased with her myself. Personally I don't need her to water my plants since I always install sprinklers for my gardeners.

KT, will your buff fix conflict with the no sparkly vampires mod?

Is this an unmodded Bonehilda? Mine never ever cooks. She does clean and repairs everything right away though.

Simmers like me have been hammering down on EA to leave plenty of open space in new worlds so we'll be able to add the countless rabbit holes and career lots from all the other EPs to them. I'm glad that for once they listened.

Well I think most people here use AM so option 1 is very handy. I myself don't use any core mods and I prefer option 2.

Is it the new fix for the pc items that caused it to break or is this a SN related problem?

So what are the magic items supposed to do? I'm confused by this.

You need to get your eyes checked. Those are obviously fangs on some sort of insect or arachnid.

Do these include the Origins rewards as well?

I happen to stumble upon this link on the interwebs: [link removed because source is not to be trusted] I'm not sure if the file is untouched or not.

Ninja'd by morriganrant and cause MATY takes AGES to load all of a sudden. I would check myself if the file is already decrapped or not but I'm not sure what to look for. So I rather someone explain to me how so I'll be able to do it myself in the future.

I already posted a picture in this thread.

Well weird how I placed it outside with plenty of lighting and it still worked. What I experienced was a glitch which I fixed by deleting and buying the object again.

@Painkiller: How does this work? Do I have to plop it down, stay at the lot while forwarding it two days until someone shows up? Cause I played for several sim days when I was testing out and no NPC spawned to massage anybody.

Poppycock. All my PC items are tested on a special community lot I threw together. No masseur appeared. The lot is a hangout.

I think the Supernatural pre-order here is cheaper. If you pre-order SN from Origin it's even cheaper cause of the $10 discount. And people dare say that the store isn't overpriced.

I didn't pay attention to the lotion but the stones do show up for me. Are you using your legit copy or did you decrappify it? Decrappifying makes the "accessories" of premium content go missing and KT has a fix for that. You should be able to see the stones with is fix.

Yes, it gets very steamy and the sims get pixelated. If I remember correctly there are rose petals too. There's also a special interaction that allows you to try for a baby boy or baby girl. It gives you a 100% chance of getting the gender of choice, if the sim gets pregnant that is. The romantic massage (from the massage table) gives the sim a fertility boost for triplets.

ETA: Am I the only one annoyed that the massage table doesn't spawn an NPC masseur?

Files can get corrupted during download. You could always try downloading the file again. I see you uninstalled everything. Did you try with a vanilla game as I suggested? I usually try everything before I do a complete re-install.

I'm terribly sorry KT. I looked up clips of the voodoo doll on youtube and the animations do appear on the floor. I even went back to an old EA folder of mine that don't have the new stuff installed and the animations appear on the floor there too. I'm not sure why I remember them appearing on the sim, tbh.

In the mean time I fixed the excessive steam glitch as well.

After:


I sincerely apologize for my Kermit flailing once again. This time I promised myself to more more careful and test everything thoroughly and somehow I always manage to end up running back here like a headless chicken. (Dutch expression)

Edited to add thumbnail.

That might be the problem. I'm really not sure since everything else appears to be working just fine so I think it's more voodoo on my end.

ETA: I took the ccmerge file out and more stuff started breaking so I'll leave it in for now. Last time I tried decrapping the regular ccmerge file but it didn't help.
