1  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Game freezes and stops responding at start up on: 2013 July 01, 16:00:19
You might want to try checking out your hard drive. I had a problem getting the game to load and then it would freezes on and off through out game play.  I reinstalled windows and reinstalled the game but the problem continued. It eventually made the game totally unplayable like what you are experiencing.

I used Crystal Info which provides information about your hard drive. The program said my drive was good. I followed up by using Crystal Mark which benchmarks your hard drive. Turns out the reading speed of my drive was the problem. New drive and my game plays fine again.

This what you need? It's late, so I could be misreading.

Yes , absolutely it worked like a charm and the game is up and running again. Thanks.

Ambitions 4.2.32 patch download help urgently needed for MAC

My boyfriend updated his game to the current patches except for Ambitions which remains at 4.0.87.006001 and the game refuses to load.

My wireless phone refuses to get a signal in the basement, so I have been unable to obtain an ambitions sku1_update manifest.xml using the launcher.

I have spent the weekend searching (Google, Sim Programs, MATY, MTS Mac Forum, SimWiki, and EA) and then tried to create a working manual link. All these links failed.

Thanks for putting me out of my misery. Glad someone was able to get the CD: especially for free. Like to preview before buying; to many disappointments. I really expected more from PC Gamer. This stuff must be really old, tried six clothing items and ended up with my hood underwater. Have not had time to investigate which file or files caused this. I removed everything.

Doesn't seem worth it. Could be if someone could examine the actual content. Do you think you could go back another time when the manager is gone?

Wednesday or Thursday managers day off, will be taking in my MAC into the store to see if we can find out what is on the CD.
6  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Steps On How to install Store Items with the Current Patch 2.3 on: 2010 May 22, 15:39:17
I assume this was done on a PC, but just wanted everyone to know if you have a MAC, these instructions will work. Just did a couple of files as a test and everything worked. Thank you, this way is so much easier and faster then what I was doing before.

Okay after getting chatty with the store clerk, when no other employee was around, here is what you get on the CD.

Clothing 3.5 MB
Household 4.3 MB
Lots 59.7 MB
Objects 107.9 MB
Sim 19.3 MB
Sims Part 2 17.6

There is a grand total of 202.3 MB content and it is in .rar format.   In addition to the content, you receive  two pictures and one movie featuring the Sim Ambitions new jobs. The manager came in before we could unrar the object file to take a quick peek inside.  Major bummer so close, but yet so far away.

July 2010 Issue 202 PC Gamer Magazine CD, offers The Sims3 Home Improvements Pack. An exclusive for PC Gamer magazine, offering the best player created loot. Did not pay the ten spot to find out what is on the CD. Maybe someone else might be interested.

Can you make reduced community lot espresso, and alcohol intake? Sims have no self control! Lots with Espresso Machines look deserted, because everyone is gulping down their 75th espresso, and my sims drink so badly they will run to the bar if left alone for five minutes!

I will add this to the list but it will be for both residential and community lots if I get it working correctly.

Can I request a reduced autonomous hugging mod? It's really spun out of control since AL was installed

I will add this to the list, I assume you do not mean parents hugging their children when they come home from work.

I only want  you to know that the Create baby with X crib form Monique is working fine for me with AL installed, think is no need for updates.

Thanks, I will retest and use the old base game cribs instead of the new cribs and see what happens.

Two things that annoy me, if I may request, is when kids dances with adults autonomously - the sound rives me nuts, could they have given a more annoying voice for the kids? - also autonomous juggling with the cups from the espresso machine, I almost never buy espresso machine because of this.

If you are asking about children dancing on adults toes? I currently use in my game this mod from a inactive modder named Monique. It reduces the autonomous action but does not completely do away with the action. This mod is listed on the Project Monique list as a tested and working mod for Apartment Life.

Or are you looking for a mod to completely kill the action all together? If so, I could try making one.

The juggling of cups do you want a reduced autonomous mod that does not completely do away with the action? Or are you do you want a no autonomous mod to kill the action completely.

The reduced autonomous mod, I could try making one. If you want the no autonomous mod. Here is one of Monique mods. This mod according to Project Monique list has not been tested with Apartment Life.

Can I put in a request for Reduced Autonomous Play Catch?

Here is the Play Catch mod I currently use in my game from an inactive Modder named Monique. It does close to the same thing as my mods. It is listed on the Project Monique list as a tested and working mod for Apartment Life.

Here are two more released reduced autonomous mods for Apartment Life. These mods have been tested in my game without any problems. It is strongly suggested you run the SimWardrobe's HCDU program to find any mod conflicts with your existing mods before putting any of my mods in your game.

ReducedAutonomous_Birdwatch_50_AL- Allows autonomous Bird Watching if your sim's motive in fun is less than 50 percent.
ReducedAutonomous_PillowFights_50_AL- Allows autonomous pillow fights if your sim's motive in fun is less than 50 percent.
15  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: Monique"s Clothes Change Outfit No Spin & Stop N Goto Work AL update on: 2008 October 03, 16:36:19
MQ_Stop_N-Goto_Work_AL
This mod MQ Stop N Goto Work School was originally created by Monique and updated through Bon Voyage (BV). This is Monique's work and all credit goes to her. The original mod and information pertaining to the mod can be found here at http://www.insiminator.net/ and search under creator Monique.

This mod has the school function removed and renamed to MQ_Stop_N_Goto_Work. When the carpool arrives, your sim will be stopped from what they are doing. They will receive a 50% increase in hunger and energy and then will run to the waiting carpool. You can cancel out the interaction if you do not want your sim to go to work.

Known issue reported. If you cancel out the interaction your sim may run to do things instead of walk.

MQ_Stop_N_Goto_Work_Alt_AL
This mod is a modified version of MQ_Stop_N_Goto_Work. When the carpool arrives, your sim will be stopped from what they are doing. They will receive a 12.5 % increase in hunger, bladder, and energy and then will walk to the waiting carpool. You can cancel out the interaction if you do not want your sim to go to work without any known issues.

I have worked on Monique's original mod MQ Stop N Goto Work School  with the school function enabled. The coding is different then the work function with an added apartment function. This is where I believe the problem is for getting this mod updated. After reading about the school bus has a problem in Apartment Life and not addressed with the patch, this maybe the reason I am not awesome enough to fix it. If we get a patch to address the school bus I will give it another go. It seems a shame not to have the complete mod.
16  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Monique"s Clothes Change Outfit No Spin & Stop N Goto Work AL update on: 2008 October 03, 16:14:33
MQ_Clothes_ChangeOutfit_No_Spin_AL
This mod MQ Clothes Change Outfit No Spin was originally created by Monique and updated through Bon Voyage (BV). This is Monique's work and all credit goes to her. The original mod and information pertaining to the mod can be found here at http://www.modthesims2.com/ and search under creator Monique.

This mod instead of your sims spinning to change clothes they transition into them instead. This mod stops the needless door pile ups with sims stopping to spin into outerwear when going in and out. Now they walk through the door and transition into outerwear without stopping. No more complaining at the pool when sims are blocking the way because someone has stopped to spin into a swimsuit. Great time saver for carpool and school bus, with sims quickly changing into their everyday or uniform clothes. 

Known issue reported. If you are using mods that change the appearance of NPC witches or warlocks it is strongly suggested you test the mod for compatibility with your game. If a conflict occurs your NPC witch or warlock will no longer show up on community lots. To fix the problem remove this mod from your game.
17  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: AL Reduced Autonomous Mods on: 2008 September 28, 15:15:39
How about a reduced autonomous mp3 player?  That one drives me nuts because it takes them so freaking long to cancel the action.  Mostly, I just ignore requests to buy them for this reason.

Getting the Handheld one, by the way.  That one is also gonna be useful.

Reduced autonomous mp3 player is currently in testing and to be released in the next reduced autonomous series of mods.
18  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / AL Reduced Autonomous Mods - Oct 21 new mods posted on: 2008 September 27, 15:52:00
Okay here is the deal, sometimes you want your sims to do things just not every chance they get. Still you do not want to stop all autonomous actions. Then what will your sims do? The reduced autonomous series was made to allow these activities with one little catch. Your Sims motive in fun must be less than 50 percent for your sim to engage in the activity. All these mods are for Apartment Life.


ReducedAutonomous_Handheld - Allows hand held game use if your sim's motive in fun is less than 50 percent.
ReducedAutonomous_KickyBag - Allows kicky bag play if your sim's motive in fun is less than 50 percent.
ReducedAutonomous_TossFootBall - Allows tossing the football if your sim's motive in fun is less than 50 percent.
ReducedAutonomous_JumpRope - Allows jumping rope if your sim's motive in fun is less than 50 percent.

I'd like it so the serving Sim does *not* take a plate for themselves.  They should just take one if they are autonomously moved to do so after the serving interaction has finished - same as if they were just one of the other sims in the house.

It's funny really, I was so pleased when I first saw the Sims serving the meal nicely at the table, but it soon became apparent it was done so illogically that it wasn't worth it.   Sims just don't have an overview of life "this is the dining room"  "that is a garden seat and it's winter"

It might be possible to do with Monique's MQ_ServeCount_Hunger mod. This version MQ_ServeCount when you make it so the serving sim does not take a plate. If you have OFB your sims will not be able to serve their customers. I have not found a work around to this problem.
20  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: MQ Teleport and MQ Serve Count updated for AL on: 2008 September 22, 16:26:10
Thanks, Firefly!  Umm, I don't suppose there's any chance at all you'd consider updating Monique's Stop_N_Goto_Work_School.package?

I am looking into updating or making a modified version of Monique's Stop_N_Goto_Work_School mod. I have not used this mod before, so I am not sure if I will be able to get the mod exactly bang on to Monique's original mod.

Currently I am beta testing solo right now Stop_N-Goto_Work without the school part of the mod since the Apartment function is were the problem is.
21  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: MQ Teleport and MQ Serve Count updated for AL on: 2008 September 22, 15:33:42
I thought servecount changed the number of servings... not messed with the actual serving action.

anyway thank you for fixing because either way I want it and was disappointed to find it wasn't working for AL.

Serve Count does not change the actual number of servings. The plates still serve six. This mod modifies the actual serving action.
22  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / No Autonomous Mods for Apartment Life on: 2008 September 21, 14:50:22
The following four mods stop sims from doing the following behaviors and were made for use with Apartment Life. You can still manually tell your sims to engage in these actions, they just will not do it autonomously by themselves.

No Autonomous Belch At stops sims from autonomously belching at other sims.

No Autonomous Gross Out stop sims from autonomously grossing out other sims.

No Autonomous Dirty Jokes stops sims from autonomously telling dirty jokes to other sims.

No Autonomous WaterBalloon Fight stops sims from autonomously starting water balloon fights.
23  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: MQ Teleport and MQ Serve Count updated for AL on: 2008 September 20, 15:58:11
This mod MQ ServeCount was originally created by Monique and updated through Bon Voyage (BV). This is Monique's work and all credit goes to her. The original mod and information pertaining to the mod can be found here at http://www.modthesims2.com/ under the creator Monique.

MQ_ServeCount_XZ7_Apartment Life edition is an updated version of Monique original mod. The Sim making a meal will serve the platter on a counter and take one serving. Your other sims can get their own serving themselves. This mod stops your sim from serving the platter, taking the platter and serving all over the house to tables and desks and then leaving the platter of food on the floor when they are done.
24  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: PSA: Abandonated Mods Borked by AL on: 2008 September 01, 16:23:14
The following Monique mods from MTS may require an update.

MQ_Browse_N_Buy_Faster100.package: may require possible updates:
    B 0x7F4A60B2 0x1006 Interaction - Browse (No update needed and other versions of this mod should work also.)
MQ_No_Autonomous_Play_Swings_Fun_50.package: may require possible updates:
    B 0x7FF7529C 0x1004 Interaction - Swing
MQ_Serve_Count_Hack.package: may require possible updates:
    B 0x7F8834C8 0x202B Get in Temp 0 - Serve Count

The following Monique mod found here in MATY in peasantry updated for FT will probably require an update based on every expansion pack an update was required.

MQ_Teleport.package: may require possible updates: (Update required for witch functions)
    P 0x7F1F956A 0x0080 name unsupported
    p 0x7F1F956A 0x0080 name unsupported

I do not have AL yet to test these four mods, most interested in feedback on MQ_Teleport.  I am considering updating it for AL.

Update:
MQ_Teleport is updated for Apartment Life and available in Peasantry.
MQ_Serve_Count is updated for Apartment Life and available in Peasantry.

CSI for the Sims 2 http://www.geocities.com/papillonwells/Gaming/pwggame2b3c.html, and you can have total control of you sims eating habits with their No Autonomous Refrigerators. Nanny's and Servo's will autonomously use this fridge. Parents will also get bottles for toddlers if the toddler asks. Sims will not prepare food so they can starve to death unless you dictate you want them to use the refrigerator.
