A "mutant monster from outer space" is a favorable description of a computer?

To me, that sounds more like some beast bodged together from random mismatched parts that surprises everyone, including the person that built it, by being able to run at all. Much the the "unholy hybrids" of the Sims 2 days when patching, expansions and cracks would lead to people running mismatched executables and data files. They would load up, but then randomly exhibit unpredictable behavior (which the users seemed to invariably try to blame on Pescado).

Microsoft licensed and gave away everything good Norton ever did with DOS 6.2. Sense then Norton has produced nothing but buggy useless crap. The fact that they stay in business is just a testament to how ill-informed most consumers are.

The implication is clear that the creators of those hair styles think the sims they display them on are beautiful. I think that says all that needs to be said about the matter.

You say you had the base game and Late Night, then added Ambitions. Is this failure a result of installation order? Or did the out-of-order installation result in an EAxian patching failure?

I would just say, "Framework." But MATY objects to one-word replies (and being helpful to noobs).

I've had major problems with Windows. I've had my fair share of breakdowns and problems. I've found Windows to be extremely complex, convoluted, and abstruse at times. But, not once have I felt the need to go to an Apple dominated web forum and say, "Can someone please help me figure out how to run your software on my Windows computer."

Just so I understand what I'm seeing, does this hair constantly stick straight back (and presumably knife through the pillow and mattress while sleeping)?

Is THAT sarcasm?

Okay, I don't see a need to debate the relative merits of pedophilia or bestiality. It's like syphilis and smallpox. I have no problem at all with saying I want neither.

Sunset Valley is a prequel to Pleasantview, so the townies are Goths and Crumplebottoms and Bachelors and Calientes etc. I guess at some point the whole town moved.

I can't believe you accuse EAxis of half-assedly tuning behaviors in Sims games.


You're giving them too much credit.

It said it got Sims 3 to run without AM using a different no-CD mod, but when it put AM in it stopped working.

I hope it took out duplicate mods for the same function. I don't know that they would fight with each other and prevent the game from starting, but I wouldn't dismiss the possibility.

That's one of the problems of this modern age in which so many of us live... not a enough filled chamber pots around when you need them.

I agree. Except Seasons killed the hot tubs... or made the hot tubs kill the sims.

There is only one Awesome mod. Current indications are that any attempt to install more than one mod WILL cause conflicts. Not may, WILL. Until that gets resolved there's no reason to look for more mods.

Or is he trying to pick up enough from what other modders are doing to try and make the TSR tool actually work? Or am I being overly cynical?

I initially had the Reloaded version. I downloaded the Razor version and installed it, upgrading from one version to the other. I tried to apply the patch and it barfed, complaining that my game was the wrong region. Today at work, I thought maybe I had an unholy hybrid situation from the "upgrade" process. So I uninstalled the game and installed a "pure" Razor version. It patched fine. Both version have been stable on my computer.

Some people here seem unfamiliar with torrents. They almost always initially report a very long download time. It's primarily a function of how many peers are available. I find that anything over about a dozen seeders available gives a nice quick download. But it takes my client a little while to recognize them all. Let a torrent download for a half hour or so before you give up on it for taking too long.

Speaking 100% out of my ass, with no real knowledge at all on the subject...

From the sound of the second downloadable neighborhood, they're going to make you download half the game from a website that can only be accessed by registering with the CD key on the back of the highly misleading instruction booklet. So, in theory, you have to buy the game to get all the stuff. (At least in their mind.) Of course, if that's the case, it won't be long before someone figures out how to Arrrr all of the extra content and make it available to the general "we don't want no rootkit" public.

I've never had it with a motorcycle, but a two seat convertible. driver and passenger get out, then new sim appears in passenger seat and gets out, then another, and another, repeat until the "fun bar" is in the red and everyone storms off complaining about the lousy time. (All of which was spent getting out of the car.)

Lexus, yes.

Mercedes, on the other hand, was the name of Karl Benz's daughter. He named the car after her. Mercedes was a girl's name long before it was a car. That's not to say that most people don't think of the car first now.

I'm coming from the wrong side of the ocean, so I may be way off base. Isn't a common form of chav name a normal name abbreviated? eg. Chas, Kev, Mick, Bry?

(Still living but generally disliked celebrity) AUTOPSY PHOTOS

eg. "TOM CRUISE AUTOPSY PHOTOS"

In my case, their original home lot became un-owned. I had to move them in again and refurnish it. Admittedly, a less than ideal solution if you lose any hard to replace stuff, but at least you get your sims back.

Sounds similar to this: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9683.0.html

Suggestions for what might save your sims and lots can be found in that thread.

How do desk clerks work? There seems to be one on hotel lots in build mode. Do Sims get memories of meeting them? I figure the one that was there may have been bulldozed under with the lot. I managed to break it pretty fast, so if there was anything left dangling from destroying him, it should have been minimal. But certainly something I don't want to risk another 31,999 instances of.
