1  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Extreme difficulty in killing sims by fire? on: 2009 June 22, 11:55:16
My sim had the gold digger LTW- to see the ghost of his rich spouse. He decided to go after Crumplebottom, I tried fire twice it just didn't work either time, her whole kitchen needed replacing, but she never went up in flames. I had decided to just wait for her to die of old age, until stuff started to break. I had her repair the dishwasher, the trash compactor, and finally a stereo. She repaired the first two items with no problem and little skill, but got shocked by the stereo. It gave her a negative moodlet "singed" IIRC it said it would be a good idea to keep her from repairing things until this went away. I made her try again with the stereo while she still had the moodlet, it shocked her again and she died, the paper reported her death by saying she had been struck by lightning 27 times playing with a lightning rod or something.

Were you able to fulfill the wish? I have not been able to fill this wish even when it seems it should have filled. I have my sims talk to their dead spouses but nothing happens.

One of my sims had this LTW and her husband drowned in the pool. She ran outside when Grimmie came and after seeing him rising as a ghost the LTW filled for her.

Once again confirming the ATI problems Grin

I have x1950 pro, and I'm crashing much less now (only once or twice every 6-7 hours) but also randomly getting artifacts, or at least I haven't noticed any pattern to them. So it seems there is definitely a problem with this card!

If you guys haven't seen this thread about the FPS Limiter it might be worth trying: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15092.0.html

My version of the folder looks pretty similar. I got the rld version and haven't updated since. Here's a pic for you if it helps:

Thanks for this. In case anyone else is as blind as I was, the .bat created is actually in the FPS Limiter folder, not the game exe folder  Cheesy

Just a heads up, I've had problems with X1950s overheating before (and erm... melting. Ahahaha. My 3850 is actually its warranty replacement since the store wasn't selling the X1950 some time later.)

People with ATI and their catalyst control centre, or RivaTuner or anything else that can monitor temps, I'd recommend doing so, especially if you have any of the cards that other people are having problems with or random crashes (In CCC, it's in the overdrive tab. Not all cards support it and my X1950 didn't, or I'd have spotted the problem long before it died.)

Hell no am I buying a new card to play Sims 3. My card should be sufficient and I'm not upgrading something that cost me £80 to play one game when all my other high spec games and even my 3D animation packages run just dandy on it. If I'd actually bought the game, I'd be demanding my money back because running my graphics card into the ground is probably damaging it. (That said, when I next update I'm not touching ATI with a barge pole unless they've fixed their OpenGL issues, even their professional animating rig cards have issues at the moment, and for £400+ that's just not acceptable.)

Miellerie, check that your drivers have installed correctly and are showing as 9.5 - a bad uninstall of the previous drivers can cause problems with new ones.

Thanks for that! By monitoring temperature, do you mean just go into the CCC and checking the temperature right after a crash?

I reinstalled the game and the display driver today and the message about updating didn't pop up Smiley And I managed to get 4+ hours of play before it froze on a splitting family processing scene (sister marries other guy and moves out). I am thinking of getting a new card and cpu because my computer's quite old now and hopefully I'll have no more problems after that  Smiley

My game just closes itself after a while as well but usually after 20-30 mins, though it was over an hour once. It runs fine otherwise on highest settings and 1680x1050 fullscreen. I have to remember to save each day which I'm not used to  Embarrassed

I have updated my graphics drivers, but every time the game starts I still get a popup reminder to update my graphics drivers. If it helps this is what I'm running:

Vista 32bit
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB
Intel E2140 1.6GHz.. I've been meaning to overclock it for years  Grin

I might try reinstalling the game later on today to see if that helps.
