When you say gifted, do you mean through the exchange? If so, you shouldn't need to do anything to it.
You will also need to be moar specific about the error you are having.

My Bonehilda waters the indoor plant pots, cleans the kitchen and tidies up. She also goes into the Dark_Trepie's lair and rocks out on the dj booth.



I have no pets or babies, so I haven't seen the "love to death" interactions.

This. I knew there was something I was forgetting to mention.
The test version has been stable for me with no crashing, and all of the AM commands I have tried seem to be working without errors AFAIK.

I will add to the chorus of borked wish fulfilment.

The big issue at the moment is a bug that occurs if you save between 4pm and 8pm on a full moon night. The game just keeps spawning zombie after zombie, regardless of the moon state. I personally want MOAR zombies.

I just like the fact that 4shared links get nuked far less often than Mediafire. I was hunting for one of Coltraz's older files and it had been nuked

And here I was thinking people just spammed new threads everywhere when they did that. 

Please report AM errors in the AM error threads.

Can you get in long enough to nuke the sim or reset the world?

Just out of curiosity, which sliders?
All of mine work fine with 1.34, and I'm always interested in finding more sliders.

Yes, along with all the bank accounts I had in my own name while I was still a 12. Bank accounts so I could receive my WAGES.

I play with a custom long setting. Babies are 2 days, toddlers 5 days, children 9, teens 15, and then something like 40/50 for both the young adult and adult stages. I still want lots of spawn to happen, but also want to have plenty of time to mess around with the careers and what not. Normally once the household has children, I only play rabbithole jobs, that way I don't have to micromanage them + spouse + 3+ children at the same time.

Oooh YAY.

Can tell it's been a while since I've played with my config settings. 

They are not immediately accessible through the config options, and I'm not sure if you can change them by digging through the AM code. There are some behaviours that are hard-coded into AM, I am fairly sure the LTR modifications fall into that category.

If you are getting a new shiny, use a framerate limiter. TS3 is coded so that it will just keep pushing the framerate as high as it can until your video card dies. There is no v-sync option either. Use the FPS limiter from this site, or EVGA or NVidia tools, whatever you prefer. Pescado discovered that despite the game pushing out in excess of 150fps, it only actually draws 30fps, so there is no reason to let it go that high. I use the 3booter + fps limiter to keep it at 30fps for the sake of my card. On menus and paused it would pump out 2000+fps sending the card to 91'c before making me freak out.

Pescado has said he supports ye olde style mod files as it is the one he uses, as do I. Perhaps using Error Trap will let you know what is going wrong.

Or he has been running the hood for AGES, and there are too many sims/borked sims that don't occur in a new hood. Most EA hoods are laggy from the get go, so it's not really a valid test.

Have you tested CC to see if that is the cause? (I don't mean mods)
Have you tried using Error Trap?
Have you tried a new copy of the world you use?
Have you tried fix all?
HAVE YOU ACTUALLY DONE ANYTHING OTHER THAN INSIST PESCADO FIX IT FOR YOU?

I am playing the latest patch with sweet shit installed. My existing family were able to access the mailbox without issue. Debug mode in enabled by default in my config.

Silverkitty. I play a similar game profile to you: D3, WoW (previously) and TS3. I found that most of my D3 problems are Blizz related with lag and rubberbanding being a serverside issue that would be worse after new patches.
I use an AMD X6 1155t with 6gb ram and a GTS250 (old-ish). Cooling is a bit of an issue in summer since the ambient air temp gets to 35'c but other than that it's okay.

Have you checked your CC? I would have a  HUGE issue every now and again with bad CC and TS3. Process Monitor would show the game choking as it tried to load a hair over and over again, thousands of times. It gave me odd lag and low FPS from time to time, removing the bad CC fixed the problem. Keeping your high detail lots option to the lower end (1 or 2) can help as well.  

Lastly with hardware: Later EPs added Large Address Aware coding to TS3, so it should work better in rigs with more than 4gb of ram. Ram and video cards are easy upgrade, and for the most part they will carry over if you end up doing a complete rebuild in the next 12 months. The good news is that most mobos to suit your CPU are an AM3 socket. Double check, but if it is and you can get new bios software, you can upgrade it all the way to a 6 core like mine and jezzers without needing to replace it. Today I was able to have 19 windows open, including 4 browser windows with a total of 44 tabs, photoshop and TS3 running minimised in the background (don't ask). I wouldn't necessarily go upgrading stuff off the bat though. TS3 has a lot of sloppy code and bad CC that can cause the game to behave badly. I would investigate that first before buying more hardware, unless you are upgrading for the heck of it.

This was almost perfect, except that the father is still flagged as the woman's spouse. I need to have multiple partners to expand the gene pool. I really hate using Master Controller, but I guess there is no other option.
*Skadi holds out for something AWESOME.

It's still worth it if I can find a non-Twallan way to do this.

There is a link in the news box.

I'm looking to create a pregnancy without any real relationship at all.

Trait based perhaps?

I'm looking at a populating-the-world type challenge, which will require partner swapping to ensure as low a chance of inbreeding as possible. Hence skipping the relationship part.
