The new build seems stable. The only issue I've found so far is queue dropping when trying to use food synthesizer via clicking the hungry moodlet.


Sounds like the old invisible sim bug, it's been in the game for a while. As far as I know sims affected by this are corrupt and you can't really fix them.
I've been wondering - is there a cheat code in AwesomeMod to delete a specific sim from the game?

Not sure if bug or feature, but there seems to be a collective cap limit on some potions. Every sim I played could create several Skill Booster/Potent Skill Booster/Wish Enhancing Serum, trying to create more they would just drop the action after the potion is selected. I tried emptying inventories, replacing ingredients, reseting sims - still the same.

No, it only happens when the previous shift ends on the same day, promotion or no promotion.

The boss is working fine. It must be tied to the shift spanning over two different days.

I'm also getting lab coat spam from the lab station - a new work outfit being added every time the station is used. I know it's an EA bug, but they never care.

I noticed a problem with the criminal career. When you start working at 9 PM the sim is stuck in "going to work" status and it only switches to "working" after midnight.

I can confirm that the game doesn't crash when story progression and aging are disabled. It's completely unplayable otherwise (5-15 minutes before it crashes).

And technicolor skin is gone...

Oh, nvm. Damaged file. Saw complaints, didn't occur to me this could be the issue.

Sorry if it's a tard question, but since the new downloads won't install even after decrappifying is Recompressor going to be updated to deal with that?

Yeah, I meant it didn't enable the textures to be used on females. Perhaps Pescado meant just the interface.

Went back and checked - it does not. Unless you mean some other AM

Body hair is not passed on to children:( I gotta look for a mod enabling hairy legs for women, too.

I thoroughly approve of this dress-up Pity they'll fix this in a patch and shove kids back into old stereotypical gender roles.

Checked a divorced sim (who didn't initiate the divorce), she has no memory of the divorce. Can't check her ex-husband, though, since he's missing from the game (edit town shows him living in a specific house, but when I switch, he's not there).

I haven't noticed the creeped out moodlet problem with romantic interactions.

Somewhat mentioned before, but I'd like to add to it - romantic hugging interactions when two sims are gf/bf, engaged or married cause the initiator to jump back. What's funny, it worked normal before I proposed going steady.

Anyone has the bug in which sims who returned from boarding school cannot get a normal job? Professions still work, but anything rabbithole-bound simply shows no options to join a career there. The newspaper and computer also don't show these options.

This is EA screw up and I believe Pescado has it on his "to fix" list when he deals with critical problems.

When playing Bridgeport I kept getting a sale message without the name of the venue given. Like "there's a sale at !". Just a space, no name. It might be the grocery store, since I believe I've seen the bookstore name show up.

It seems that every Bridgeport save eventually borks up and freezes somewhere in the third sim week of playing. I tried reviving from a save that was from one sim week earlier and it still froze when the game hit that same point in time as before. Anyone managed to play this hood for a long time without issues? (no mods other than AM)

Exactly, GnatGoSplat. A single core of that processor might be weaker but there are two cores available. The game would only fail if it couldn't spread its process across both cores, but since it's a fairly new game - it can.

News flash - sims 3 genetics suck. That's nothing new, there's been adopted children passing their adoptive parents' genes, sims inheriting dyed hair color, even hairstyles. Since the game has no way of distinguishing what is inborn and what is acquired and it generates the new sims's look, traits etc. (except for sex) at birth, this is exactly what was expected to happen.

It depends on the original color. Their eyes become somewhat brighter version of what they originally were.

I was referring to the "raid store for plasma fruit" option. It is free because you don't pay for the stolen fruit. Of course they're not perfect quality, but neither are free handouts, so what are we talking about?

Replacing CPU is indeed not hard, just be careful not to scratch it. What they meant is that probably when you have an old enough computer that CPU is causing trouble, finding a decent processor replacement might be a lot of hassle when you're probably gonna need to buy a new computer soon, anyway.
As Patrick said - look up your motherboard model compatibility and buy a processor that's on supported list (if it's not there, it might not work).

I thought minimal requirements for sims 3 were lower than that, especially since it can take advantage of multiple cores (I managed to run it on 3GHz 1 core AMD without trouble). Have you tried googling your FLS problem before you complained to EA?

My bad. I mostly just read trouble-shooting stuff, and skip the strategies forum altogether.

It's not. I removed those and the game still installed. You're gonna need to update manually before installation, though.

Any progress on making the building shells and apartment mailboxes buyable?

As for the truck - the theory with the magic city icon could only be proven if somebody made a custom city type neighborhood. I'm sick of CAW throwing up on me with its bugginess, so I'm not volunteering here.
