I really only play TS3 and GTA Vice City and San Andreas. I have absolutely no issues with them with high detail. However, the GTAs are old, so I partially attribute it to that. The only newer game that I own that I've had issues with is GTA IV, but it was such a horrific port that I don't know if it's my card or the game. It has a small lag every 10 seconds or so (perhaps an FPS issue, but I've been unable to fix it). Not that it matters. The "realistic" physics in that game piss me off so bad I can't play for more than 10 minutes at a time. I don't enjoy driving a bunch of cars that handle like dump trucks.

Rather than start my own thread, out of curiosity, what do you guys think of the ATI Radeon HD 5570 graphics card? It came with my PC. I am fairly educated when it comes to PC specs, with the exception of graphics cards. I know it has 1 gig of dedicated memory, and I know that's far better than the last card I had (I previously bought an HP Touchsmart. What a mistake THAT was!), but I don't know if it's all that decent.

The last time I saw any mention of this was around the time the base game came out, so either I have tight pants, no one else has noticed (because it doesn't occur often), or nobody else cares.

When my criminal Sims are in jail and I tell them to work out, they don't gain any Athletic skill. If that's actually a universal problem, I am requesting a fix.

I considered that as well, but they don't have anything weird attached to them. One was a YA created in CAS, and she only had skilling-type traits and Good Sense of Humor. The other was a teenager when it happened to him  (born in game, son of the YA), and I didn't choose anything odd for him, but I haven't played in so long, I can't remember if Sims develop hidden traits or not (and if Vegetarian would ever be a hidden trait). I just moved a bunch of people out, so I will see if it is still happening and submit a save on Sunday.

ETA: I've searched and not found the info I needed, and I've never had to attach anything here. Do I need to zip the entire .sims3 folder for that particular save game, or do you just need a particular file within that folder? Or am I way off?

I'm having a hiccup with Supreme Commander, I think. When the Sims are queued to eat by SC, it works fine. However, when I Ctrl-Click and instruct them to eat, they just keep preparing group meals and putting them in the fridge, over and over, and never eat anything.

I have some object CC, but nothing kitchen related, and no other mods. Installed are Ambitions, Pets, WA, and HELS, and I'm patched to 1.33. The last time I downloaded a fresh copy of AM was about 2 days ago.

I can confirm this is not AM, but an Eaxian bug. I lost all of the fish in my inventory upon return as well. ErrorTrap supposedly fixes the issue. Any update/plan to fix this in AM, or should I just download that?

It's found on community lots. It looks like this.

While I do have the latest AM installed, I don't think this is AM-related.

The thumbnails for the juice bars are borked. The preview thumbnails display the last bar stool clicked on instead of the juice bar recolors. I exited, cleared all caches, and re-started. When clicking on the juice bars, the thumbnails and information (environment score, etc.) were blank. I clicked on a bar stool and then clicked on a juice bar again, and the bar stool thumbnails appeared again.

Horse training for racing, or horse competitions? The competition crash was fixed in the latest AM. Update again.

It is indeed fixed. Baa.

ETA: I don't know if this is an AM bug or a testingcheats bug, but you can't adjust a unicorn's Thirst need (all other needs are adjustable).

Same here. The race/jump competition CTD. Without AM, it does not crash.

Since they're doing something for cars, does anyone know if they fixed the fucking lighting on garage doors yet? It drives me absolutely insane.

A similar scenario happened to me with Vista. Closing the Side Bar application solved it.

This is obviously not your exact issue with XP, but have you tried shutting down all your background tasks?

So, are we to assume that you are going to soup, "supah" noob? Because that would be GRATE.

Click here and find the link to a Resource.cfg. I'm wondering if the one I linked to in the install post is fucked up. I doubt it, but I can't modify the post anymore.

If it still doesn't work, you fucked up. If it DOES, say so; I'll get the install post fixed.

I suppose I could have, I just like the arrangement used in the Sims the best. Many times, the swell isn't as pronounced in other versions. I attempted to raise the gain on it once, and it got really distorted.



PERFECT. Thank you very much.

This is not a Sims 3 request, but I don't feel the need to start a new thread for it.

I'm trying to get the mp3 sound byte from the Sims 1 "Romantic Kiss" interaction. It's a snippet of Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet Overture. I'm currently trying to torrent ALL the Sims 1 music, but as you can imagine, not many people are interested, so it's sat at 99% for quite some time. And I'm not even sure if this mp3 will be included.

So, if you still have Sims 1 installed or know where I can find just this snippet, please, let me know. Google has failed me.

I'm using it as a sound effect in a production I'm working on, so the higher the quality, the better.

I just read that whole thread and have three possible solutions to your problem.

It's too bad BOLDtard took off; he'd have someone to talk to!

Obviously. It can't even spell it correctly!

I don't have them either. I followed my own instructions to the letter and I've never had an issue.

I think this should be voted "Most Incoherent Sentence EVER". Seriously, wut?

I'm curious about this, too, as it's the only thing that ever comes up when I fixall.


Edited to fix tenses.

I suppose because EAxis assumed that a Sim normally doesn't use it unless they're in the tombs. Again, I can't be for certain that this is the reason.

Here is what I saw earlier about this.

Granted, it's that user's only post, so as for validity...but it's worth a shot.

I remember seeing this somewhere on here before, but I don't remember where (maybe it's in this thread, but I really don't know). Anyway, apparently that's an "action shot", so it needs to be someone USING the shower in a can.
