$50.00 just sent to the Municipality. Seeing as Awsomemod is the only thing that makes the Sims 3 worth playing, I'd say it's money well spent.

Nope, it's a bug, my investigator does it as well. In fact, this babysitting thing has been around since WA adventures. The "talk to someone to do this opportunity" interaction loves to queue drop.

I didn't notice them replacing themselves over time, however, if you call up the repairman for something else, all burned/salvaged objects will suddenly be like new. In my case, this was a good thing, as a meteor strike borked both my mailbox and garden, making them impossible to interact with.

It may or may not have given me extra funds as well, or those could be from an opportunity I'd cashed in along the same time, wasn't paying all that much attention to household funds at the time. ("How am I gonna pay my damn bills now?" was more on my mind.)

I hate bb code.  

You do realize there's a thread up in the Pudding Factory for the Prima Guide already, right?

Okay, this is starting to get annoying. After updating to 1.8/2.3, I'm getting consistent CTD after the game finishes the loading process. I've tried removing my cc, clearing cache files, etc. Nothing seems to work, and I haven't been able to find anything in this thread to fix it.

Looks like it's the old uninstall/reinstall/repatch dance again.  

Edit: After reinstalling, it was still crashing. Went over my gamefiles with a fine toothed comb, and found pre-1.8/2.3 Awsomemod lurking in my Sims 3 install mods, instead of in WA, where I'd thought I'd moved everything. Oh well, nice and clean now, only took at the most an hour total time away from me.

If it was sarcasm, it was stealth sarcasm. With the right tone that could be downright condescending, but I think that's hoping for too much.

They actually used the phrase 'unique as a snowflake'. I didn't know people still used that in a non-sarcastic context. 

Public Service Announcement, stay away from TPB right now. Someone I trust to know this shit just told me the site's being majorly tracked now.

Halfway done, too. Bah. Damn Demonoid being down, I've been avoiding TPB ever since the whole lawsuit thing, and WA tempted me back.  

Maybe that's it? I can't move in fresh, but after playing with one family and leaving, suddenly I can move into empty lots. I just don't get it, sometimes.

Considering that's how I got it to work the other day, pretty much. It must be just one of those random stupid things. Maybe having to do with it being a downloadable neighborhood, it might get a little 'touchy' on install?

It's the active family, and it does give me the option to buy furnished/unfurnished unlike if I was using edit town. They just can't buy an empty lot. A lot with one wall? It works (I think, I'll have to check again tonight), so I may just have to use that as a workaround. Stupid game.

For some reason, in Riverview it's impossible for me to have sims buy an empty residential lot. But it still works in the default neighborhood. It's not an issue of tight pants, as the only mod I'm using is Awesomemod. I did, however, reinstall because Riverview ended up getting corrupted the first time. Tried deleting cache files, no luck. Is my neighborhood just borked? 

Yeah, pretty much. The only way an unlucky sim can die is of old age, as far as I know.

I have no idea why, but the phrase "meat muffins" is making me giggle like a 12. I think Vegetarianism is just one of those 'flavor traits' that really don't do anything useful, honestly. But when your sims subsist on little more than waffles or pancakes, it's not that big a deal.

From my personal experience, it'll run, even up to Seasons. Played on a different setup by BV. But you'll be on all the lowest settings, and have everything special disabled. After upgrading to my new computer last month, I saw an event scene for the first time. I'd forgotten they were even supposed to exist.

Oh, and it'll lag like a laggy lagging thing. Ewe definitely needs moar ramz.

She's the spawn of some townies. And I'm kinda sad, because from the nose up she's nice, I especially like her eyes. But her jaw line looks pasted on yey! and just isn't something I want to add to the family features.

Am I the only person who thinks they're both pretty, in different ways? The 'before' in a more media-idealized way, and the 'after' in a real-person she's pretty hot way.

You know, I think that's what's been bugging me about the before, that I couldn't quite put my finger on. She looks too much like fake plastic celebrity pretty.

The Bestest Friend of the male teen spawn of my current family, and something that will never breed with him.



She was kinda ape-faced as a child, but as a teen she's hideous!

No competitive chess for my kids either. Which is stupid, because they roll the wants.

Did you try clicking on the chess opponent? The command might be there, instead of the board. Which is bass akwards, but hey, it's EAxis.

Oh god, I've got a Snob, and I have to literally drag him away from the mirrors or he'll spend all day admiring himself. While it's a nice little buff, he doesn't have to do it like three times in a row! 

It seems that MOAR FIGHT! is an included part of the game. I only managed to snap the end of it, but while one of my sims was at work, two npc's were attempting to beat the stuffing out of each other.

Heh, I was feeling sarcastic after the dice threw him up more or less like that. He had emo hair and cloths, and I wanted to make him a guitar playing bum/collector experiment.

The other day during a trip to the graveyard, my sim found an old friend....

I'm still going through the topic, but I haven't seen this mentioned yet. After sticking a "Hates Nature" sim in a basement, it seems that basements have an inherent 'outsideness', because he got the negative moodlet they pick up while outside.

I'm guessing that if I enclosed the area in walls, it wouldn't be 'outside' anymore, but that's just an asinine waste of space. I guess his hippie sister gets the basement.
